Betweenness

about

"Betweenness" is the evocative first single from GNAC's forthcoming album "The Echoes On Departure" (Vertical Features, March 2023). The track opens with warm synthesiser tones and vintage drum machine, a hazy soundtrack to an imaginary film, before progressing to a dream-like German spoken word section and ethereal backing vocals, both provided by Kathleen Stosch of Constant Follower.

The video for "Betweenness", created by acclaimed designer James Ockelford (refold on instagram), features pastoral scenes through a constantly evolving grey landscape as the track builds. James says: "In response to this GNAC track, I created a film about recollection; the sedate, calm, initial state is disrupted by the text that triggers a flurry of colourful memories."

lyrics

Sommertage am See
Wo wir uns begegnet sind
Ein weißes Hemd im Wind
Die Blüten treiben still

Kalter Blick im Herbst
Was denkst du dir dabei?
Ein Riss in der Wand
Bricht auf, reckt sich

Die Tage stehen still
Stäubchen vom Staube
Unerträgliche Leichtigkeit
Bis das Herz stehen bleibt.

-------

Summer days at the loch
Where we met
White shirt in the wind
The petals drifting in stillness

Cold glance in autumn
Why did you do that?
A line in the wall
Cracking, extending

The days stand still
Dust, speck of dust
Unbearable lightness
Until the heart stops.
