1.
Through the deepest forests where the light is gone where the river is longer and you are all alone When your bravery is closer when your fears emerge and your sleep is over good and bad converge All those dreams where I used to belong seem to be a desire from another man in the shadows who howls at the emptiness, lost in his homeland, who feels that he’s right when he’s wrong Losing touch with present as the river flows as I ride the serpent while I hear the crows While my seed is growing and it changes my soul in the deepest forests where the light is gone All those dreams where I used to belong seem to be a desire from other men in the shadows who howl at the emptiness, lost in their homeland, who feels that they’re right when they’re wrong

Dead singers 02:35
Mixed emotions in eerie dreams she comes in white in a holy beam crazy patterns, no sense of time I hear your voice through my wind chimes and it says I’m still here and you still want me I’m still here and you still want me You may think that I’m talking about a girl but maybe it’s another kind of pearl It has no form, it has no name and you can’t find someone to blame ‘cos this danger, danger comes from inside you this danger, danger comes from inside Oh let it rock It dries the pain and hides the shame, with a Judas kiss a youth to spend, a toxic friend always trying to please like the black magic of dead singers touching your soul the feeling that gets you out of the hole

Lorries at war against cars at war against bikes at war against pedestrians at war against bikes at war against cars at war against lorries Nations fighting nations Cities fighting cities Neighbours fighting neighbours Me fighting You
5.
All my explosions come singing a devil’s song All your rejections are digging a deep hole I’m gonna cut off my ear, don’t wanna hear you I’m gonna use my rage to Pull up the roots pull up the roots pull up the roots pull up the roots grab a needle, some thread and sew up your mouth sew up your mouth Then, I’m gonna head down south No time to swallow my pride, it’s time to spit it out No time to follow your eyes that keep me on a tight leash I’m gonna cut off my ear, because I hate you I’m gonna use my rage to Pull up the roots pull up the roots pull up the roots pull up the roots Grab a needle, some thread to sew up your mouth sew up your mouth Then, I’m gonna head down south

In my veins 02:31
All the world has something to say I’m tired of hearingtheir words in my mind It’s time they stoppedtalking for any oldreason They really make us waste our time So, let’s dance till we fall to the floor Let’s shout ‘til we loseour voice Child, there’s no return, only future “Just for pleasure”, that’s our choice Give me your holy skin and let me touch you I want to feel you in my veins Give me your shiny sweat and let me smell you I want to feel you in my veins Veins, veins, veins, in my veins. Baby you’re my needle of love You’re my favourite helpless hope Youfree me and clean me of everything useless Baby you’re my needle of love Give me your holy skin and let me touch you I want to feel you in my veins Give me your shiny sweat and let me smell you I want to feel you in my veins Veins, veins, veins, in my veins

Quicksands 05:08
Don’t try to put me down Springtime is here again Your head is in the clouds playing this endless game Quicksands You know that it’s no good starting a fight again If you win we lose If I win it’s the same Quicksands Slave to your words trapped in quicksand and sinking fast Slave to your thoughts don’t use force or you won’t come out And everywhere you go we all feel the same same old dirty road under a different name

about

[CAT] Després de consolidar-se com un dels grans noms de l'escena pop a Catalunya, Mazoni sorprèn tornant als seus orígens amb un disc íntegrament en anglès i de marcat caràcter vitalista i noctàmbul. A més, ho fa sota la producció de Brendan Lynch, mà dreta d'artistes com Paul Weller o Primal Scream. I amb una col·laboració vocal de luxe: Núria Graham. El resultat: un disc per escoltar a volum alt i que convida a deixar-se endur.

Aquest nou "7 songs for an endless night" fa referencia directa a una perla de joventut de Mazoni, aquell "7 songs for a sleepless night" que li va valdre elogis de la crítica l'any 2003. Més d'una década després, Jaume Pla sorprèn buscant el revers de la moneda. Aquesta vegada la nit es tenyeix d'electricitat i esperít lúdic. Perquè aquestes set cançons estan fetes per ballar, per saltar i per cridar.

Cadascuna d'aquestes cançons per a una nit inacabable parteix d'un model estètic diferent. Enregistrades en llargues sessions nocturnes i amb marge per captar la màgia del moment, en el gruix dels temes s'imposa el groove i la intensitat ("Man in the shadows", "Quicksands"), però sense renunciar segons convingui a les melodies (la lluminosa "Never push a sailor", cantada per Núria Graham), a la velocitat ("Dead singers") o al crit estripat ("Pull up the roots"). Entren en joc sintetitzadors analògics i cors femenins. I tot el conjunt garanteix un efecte estroboscòpic en l'oient, que esdevé immediatament còmplice de la banda en aquest viatge per la nit que no acaba mai.

Amb aquesta nova aventura, Mazoni tanca un cercle que va obrir amb la seva anterior banda, Holland Park, i especialment amb el seu primer i enigmàtic disc, "7 songs for a sleepless night". I fa un gir sorprenent en una carrera musical que ha donat moments àlgids en l'escena del pop-rock independent català amb cançons ja mítiques com "Eufòria", "No tinc temps", "La promesa" o "Per primer cop".

[ESP] Tras consolidarse como uno de los grandes nombres de la escena pop de Cataluña, Mazoni sorprende volviendo a sus orígenes con un disco íntegramente en inglés y de marcado carácter vitalista y noctámbulo. Además, lo hace bajo la producción de Brendan Lynch, mano derecha de artistas como Paul Weller o Primal Scream. Y con una colaboración vocal de lujo: Núria Graham. El resultado: un disco para escuchar a volumen alto y que invita a dejarse llevar.

Este nuevo "7 songs for an endless night" es un guiño a una perla de juventud de Mazoni, aquel "7 songs for a sleepless night" que le valió el beneplácito de la crítica en 2003. Más de una década después, Jaume Pla sorprende buscando el reverso de la moneda. Esta vez la noche se tinta de electricidad y de espíritu lúdico. Porque estas siete canciones están concebidas para bailar, para gritar y para dar saltos.

Cada una de estas canciones para una noche sin fin parte de un modelo estético distinto. Grabadas en largas sesiones nocturnas y con margen para captar la magia del momento, en el grueso de los temas se impone el groove y la intensidad ("Man in the shadows", "Quicksands"), pero sin renunciar según el caso a las melodías (la luminosa "Never push a sailor", cantada por Núria Graham), a la velocidad ("Dead singers") o al grito arrebatador ("Pull up the roots"). Sintetizadores analógicos y voces femeninas entran en juego. Y todo el conjunto garantiza un efecto estroboscópico en el oyente, que de inmediato se convierte en cómplice de la banda, en un viajero más de la noche interminable.

Con esta nueva aventura, Mazoni cierra un círculo que abrió con su anterior banda, Holland Park, y especialmente con su primer y enigmático disco, "7 songs for a sleepless night". Y da un giro sorprendente a una carrera musical que le ha dado momentos álgidos en la escena pop-rock independiente en catalán con canciones ya míticas como "Eufòria", "No tinc temps", "La promesa" o "Per primer cop".
