about

"The intimate, confidential storytelling element on this track reminds me strongly of a Sufjan Stevens composition, both in lyrical content as well as in Viken's vocal quality: he utilizes a low, almost spoken register, on the verses as well as a gentle falsetto on the first chorus, both of which are frequent tools of Sufjan as well. The longest track on the album at 8:00+ minutes, "Clandestine Eyes" shares the dynamic quality of the entire album: the ebb and flow of instruments and volume swells that dredge the valleys and achieve the peaks. This track is also unique in that – with the exception of flautist Magnus Børmark's addition – it features principally only the members of soup, utilizing Nyborg's heavy cymbal work and Langnes' wall of guitar effects to achieve the same emotive level the orchestra provided on "Memoirs." Approaching the song's conclusion, the guitar and bass chug in eighth notes over the drums' quarter notes while Viken adds sympathetic keys to the mix, giving the long instrumental outro a restrained but furtive mood – altogether ending on one final, minor chord." -Justin Carlton

lyrics

We went down to the midlands, and he stayed behind with my friends. In the car with my brother, and the strange regrets of a child.
Stay with us for a while. We are small and caught in your tide. Could you spare some time and explain how it all goes down this way?
We arrived in the springtime, in a house too big for just three. We commute as the years pass. We turn strange, and start to drift apart.
Stay with us for a while. We are small and caught in your tide. Could you spare some time and explain how it all goes down this way?
Stay with us for a while. We are small and caught in your tide. Could you spare some time and explain how it all goes down this way?
And I know there's no-one to blame, but I'm a stranded boy anyway.

about

soup Trondheim, Norway

The pioneering alternative rock group Soup have been hailed for both their albums and their live shows since 2005, and have step by step started to be recognized for their genre-breaking music.
Linked to Motorpsycho by guitarist Hans Magnus "Snah" Ryan, and to Steven Vilson by graphic wizzard Lasse Hoile,
There is a strong sense of dynamics and melancholy in the band's backbone.
