Pipe Dreams 04:00
Arrived, to the other Side, it's unfamiliar Look back, things I thought I had a hold of Have all slipped away With the day CHORUS I really want to hold on But I can't get a hold of I really want to ride that wave Before I wash away One day I'm gonna fly high And just fall down again Then I'm gonna know why It's all happening Light, I have enough of That's not the question It's where to hide To let the darkness in So I can bring back Night, I long for the night CHORUS Time, I swear it's moving faster Or am I, slowing my mind Sight, I think it's getting further So it's time I get back CHORUS

Every time I go Every time I stay Every time I go I know I will see you again It doesn't feel Like it's been a long time Since we met But I know I will meet you there On the way there On the way there There's not a time When I don't feel like I'm connected Every time I go Every time that I come back Every time I go I know there's a way to come back home It doesn't feel (It doesn't feel) Like it's been a long time (It's been a time) Since we met But I know I will lead you there All the way there All the way there There's not a time When I don't feel like I connected Every time I go Every time that I come back Every time I know I know there's a way to come back home

I come to you Look in your eye Do you see Do they see Do they see what is real Within me I come to you Look in your eye in your eye Do they see What is real (What is real) Within me I can't see anything at all Only what reflects in you you've given in, before they've given in I come to you I look in your eyes Do they see What is real Within me I can't see anything at all I don't see anything I don't see anything at all (You know I can't see my reflection, do you see me, You know I can't see my reflection, I can't see reflection, do you see me)

“The sense of dream is strong here, and Sui Zhen has hit the mark in every way possible. ”
— The Thousands

Melbourne resident Sui Zhen’s ‘Female Basic’ showcases her own version of Japanese post-punk through a dreamy balaeric-bossanova filter.

Having graduated from the Redbull Music Academy in London alongside the likes of Daisuke Tanabe & Andras Fox, Female Basic sees Sui Zhen move away from her previous beautiful bedroom-pop on to something more minimal and mysterious. Influenced as much by long sunny days spent in Osaka as nights in Shinjuku record stores hunting for Mariah & Dip in the Pool vinyl, Sui Zhen gives us the soundtrack for a slow-motion, late night disco found somewhere between Australia & Japan.

Female Basic is available from May 1st through Teto Records on limited edition cassette and digital. 5 tracks & 25 minutes of minimal pop perfection. All cassettes come with download code with high quality MP3s of all included songs.

about

Sui Zhen Melbourne, Australia

Sui Zhen examines loss on multiple levels, from the death of loved ones to the widespread societal tendency to disappear within the 1’s and 0’s of modern life's tech-driven rush.

Despite the weight it carries, it is a testament of emotional liberation in the face of adversity. ... more
