Obscure 04:25
I'm a container, inside a beautiful body The medium pore carrying on with your thoughts A celebrity divorce or a crisis experience Environmental disaster, the death of hope. I am the needle that feeds in your system Into my veins, where everything flows I am the endless din of your media A tragic trivial that will never exist. I'm a container, inside a beautiful body The medium pore carrying on with your thoughts So I'm very happy when you are close Or when I reach your thoughts of mainstream porn. Yeah, I'm very happy when I can bite your words And then I try to eat you, feeding my soul Cause I'm a container inside a beautiful body Carrying on with your nightmares when all heaven is lost. Obscure information runs through your veins Giving you hard-ons, digesting your pain I'm a container, inside a beautiful body

Like the deep heat of endless days We may relate to the sun Like falling stars on endless nights Once we were found / now we are lost Now we are safe Now we are sound Now that we found sound we are lost Sometimes in memories Sometimes in dreams Sometimes in passing confusion Like handcuffed lovers We're heartland bound / in circular fever Dragging seasons around Dragging seasons around With all these memories With all these dreams We're just a passing confusion Now one last summer Comes to father all fears With poems and photographs Of children like us We played with memories We played with dreams We played with passing confusions And we can hear the screams From our closets We are a hidden machine. Bits and bytes Screws and bolts We're just a broken down machine.

about

One year after the successful launch of their self-titled debut, Mechanimal return with a 7inch single that prepares the ground for their second album.

Both tracks were recorded in the summer of 2013 in the studio of Mechanimal in Kessariani, Athens and express experiences that while personal they reach a large part of people’s everyday life. "Obscure" speaks about all those well-hidden information running through our veins, some of them unconsciously, while "The Last Summer" is a melancholy ballad that describes the end of a false era when one realizes that perhaps we are nothing more than the memory of a wounded machine.

The single was mastered by Coti K. The cover artwork comes from visual material of the band’s visual artist, Aggeliki Vrettou. The video for the track "Obscure" was directed by Yannis Karabelas, a member of the creative team Les Yper Yper.

Available on 7inch vinyl and digital single from Inner Ear.
