Pristina 04:22
In a land where no more lights shine Memories of fire A cold rain falls on windscreens of cars Souvenirs of war Could see a few shadows crossing the line Silhouettes take arms, footsteps are getting closer After each seconds waters come higher.

Sins 04:38
I ate too much my dear. I ate too much. I ate too much my dear. I ate too much His eagle eyes hold, crackling down this mellow. Tender pray we hide, we hold in this desperate flow. Lips are gently opening. Hands are sligthly shattering. Looking for devil Answer in his gloomy gaze Possessed by evil we don't need no shave You see the dying lovers it doesn't have to be in vain. I see the red yellow corners we don't need no pain His eagle eyes hold, crackling down this mellow. Tender pray we hide, we hold in this desperate flow. Lips are gently opening. Hands are sligthly shattering. And the sins in our head we don't manage to regret. And the sins in our head we don't manage to regret. Have to feel guilty for what. Just let me sleep. I ate too much my dear. I ate too much. I ate too much my dear. I ate too much I hate too much my dear, I ate too much.

Lilian Marks 05:05
This is the story of Lilian Marks Sittin' in front of her typewriter And Somehow she's waiting until dark Until the underground starts Lily was twenty had a little son Father Jenkis was quite close to her And this night she prayed a bit longer As if she would not have to take this train Half Closed Eyes Half Naked Legs Moving lips in rythm with this dance Faster Breath in empty room the black Light fakes the light of Moon

Sleepwalker 04:54
They told him this is the end. Time to go to bed. He didn't know where he was and where he was going. He didn't know who he even was. The only thing he knew was the darkness of his room He lost the little stars posted on the roof. The tiny birds with their big eyes the roaring cars passing by. Thorns and branches are grazing his face. Thorns and branches graze his arms Dark forests of noisy strangers are surrounding him My own breath scares me. Back and Forth in a terrible squealing. Back and Forth in a terrible squealing Back and Forth. They don't understand what's wearing him down. They don't understand these endless laments. Hide me from the comings and goings of the crowd. I grope for my way need you to light the house Let him go away from this angry crowd Make them go away from him now. My ears are yelling. The tears are falling down She's always lying. I swear I'm out of that.

Morphine 06:02
Little skinny eyes, lying on her knees She thinks we'd better hide, into one of these seas We're lying on, We're lying on these lulabies We're lying on these lulabies hope we deserved a better prize Wie ehrgeizig seid ihr denn? Wie ehrgeizig? Wie ehrgeizig seid ihr denn? Wie der Geist spinnt. Wie der Geist spinnt. Ich hab keine Angst vor dir, ich hab keine Angst.

Candle Lights glowing I thought your eyes were glowing too And all what I'm asking is a bit of attention of you All what I'm looking for is your gaze to catch And our feelings are growing and our hopes are upstairs Be careful of not missing a step Indigo notes of love reflected by the river Flowing back in a hole. My heart is to small She doesn't care at all of the wandering dreamer He doesn't bear at all to keep his feet on the ground

Dreams 03:40
Cold ice cream of confrontation I’m missing her eyes and her face Proud of these recent fictions I'm making up such nice places Behind the hill of the red lion My blood keeps up with the pace But I'm loving, but I'm afraid, that I'm a fake World of Dreams to be somewhere else To be closer to you in a nowhere land Fears and Knees are dancing around Bears and Bees are playing that sound Pillow eyes of snow Kingdom E-Bow flies on low opinion She’s making up noses of the Hill He’s watching the dust But I'm afraid, that I'm a fake World of Dreams to be somewhere else To be closer to you in a nowhere land

Two eyes like dark waters In Which you’d like to drown yourself Acidic tears that burn your mind And bring you down, down at her feet A mouth that tender smile Just like a crescent moon Go away from here Forget that girl A mouth that tender smile And making you as crazy as loon Go away from here Forget that girl You are hounted by her dark betwitching voice You’re unable to flee away from that noice You are hounted by her dark betwitching voice You’re unable to flee away from that noice

about

BÄRLIN Lille, France

Bärlin transcends genre boundaries. Based on deep and enveloping bass loops that might remind cold wave and post-rock, the drums, clarinet/vocals and bass trio creates a one-of-a-kind energy blowing everything away in its path.

Even though the trio's approach can be reminiscent of Tuxedomoon, Morphine, Einstürzende Neubauten, or Portishead, it follows its own timeless quest with no equivalent.
