WHITE ANT More donkerbreek dagbreek ligveters skaapkop in die pot op die rakke sit n rot teen die vensters is vertraagde vingers swart gordyne van wolke op die plankvloere die verlede is kerswas op die tafel die skoorsteen het n bokbaard in die reen hys n bosloper n nagloper langs die pondokolielamp slaan hy n dampie hys n bosloper n nagloper hys n bosloper n nagloper hy verskyn soms uit die moeras soos n komeet sy oog is skeel hys n bosloper n nagloper

New Apples 04:25
NEW APPLES Meneer sits in the mining house counting out his gold Boesman and Lena on their way to Mafeking In Gauteng it flows at Blood River there is no blood Tokoloshe drives past in his Chevrolet And the Ha Die Da's sing goodbye Dolly Grey on the Cape Flats someone is lost He cut off his thumb with a knife on the day that they found the Gold Anthills and thorn trees all the way to the border We meet in ten years again when it will all be over give my love to the mountain And the wild doves on the tin roofs and the way you walk in the sunshine Meneer walks out to the garden Where the yellow apples fall On the sea the ship turns back but he does not notice The apples of his soul and he can never eat them Go east go west go south to find the land of the Turks and the wild doves on the tin roofs and the way you walk in the sunshine and the wild doves on the tin roofs and the way you walk in the sunshine

ENDE DES HERBSTES Ich sehe seit einer Zeit, wie alles sich verwandelt. Etwas steht auf und handelt und tötet und tut Leid. Von Mal zu Mal sind all die Gärten nicht dieselben; von den gilbenden zu der gelben langsamen Verfall: wie war der Weg mir weit. Jetzt bin ich bei den leeren und schaue durch alle Alleen. Fast bis zu den fernen Meeren kann ich den ernsten schweren verwehrenden Himmel sehn.

TWO BLACK SHEEP Shake out you're coat and let's go its woolliness will warm us Were lucky that were not like them Lets use our lazy legs we don't have to say anything as we cant talk anyway lets go outside and play it out have you seen the light electrocute the sky come switch on you're eyes switch on you're eyes! dip you're feet into the green growing stronger letting it go playing under wet heavens they will not touch me even in a million years lay their scars on my heart in the deepest sea even in a million years not even in a million years lets go home the dog may come our woolliness will warm us were lucky that were not like them

WAJUNGA RED-DOG Wajunga red-dog now wearing a masters hat driving a government car doing 200 on the bar By playing township jazz he was stronger than a gun the sparrows perched his hat the young girls flashed they're teeth But now that he is free oh where's the honest king he thought himself to be

EARTH BREATHING SUN You sleep and softly melts the day this earth breathing sun leaves me with cracked lips and make me follow the way to the water pit you sleep and softly melts the day so mouth watering an open tide

Sandbar 04:10
SANDBAR Her eyes like a velo: in a small boat small boat floats her eyes are covered with jade small boat floats like a land thorn wild geese swoop to the sandbar geese line out to the autumn like a land thorn small boat floats: wild geese swoop to the sandbar geese alight outward with the water.

GEISTERTEILCHEN This place is a dream Only a sleeper considers it real Then death comes like dawn and you wake up laughing at what you thought was you're grief Everything cruel and unconscious done in the illusion of the present world All that mean laughing all the quick sexual wanting those torn coats of Joseph they change into powerful wolves that you must face. And this groggy time we live this is what its like: A man goes to sleep in the town where he's always lived, and he dreams he's living in another town. In the dream, he doesn't remember the town he's sleeping in his bed in. He believes the reality of the dream town. The world is that kind of sleep. The dust of many crumbled cities settles over us like a forgetful doze, but we are older than those cities. We began as a mineral. We emerged into plant life and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again.

SUNFLOWER SUTRA So he was the man with the pipe and when he came back from travelling, He always brought you a chewing gum with a silver aeroplane on it. You could play in the bath, on a Saturday evening. So you had the key for the door and you knew you wouldn't see them before, till late in the night when you were lying in you're bed and you slept tight. He was the man with the pipe, She was the woman with the key. And in the morning and in the morning you saw them only when they were gone And in the evening and in the evening you saw them only when they were gone.

The wanderer 02:26
THE WANDERER The stream wells up you're way Take you're crown and put it on Grab you're walking stick And fuckoff out of here Fuckoff out of here

about

The Singer Juliana Venter and the guitarist Joseph Suchy

have formed an homogenous unit in their project called "Spooky attraction from a distance", they have mapped out new ways between experiment, composed "neue" musik, avant garde excursions and folk elements and krautrock.

Stormy, untouchable, untamed, the musik is unexpecting, unpredictable and at the same time delicate. Uncompromisingly sensory!
