  • Crystal-Rose-Neroli Bundle
    USB Flash Drive + Digital Album

    Receive the music on a stick of clear Crystal & Rose Gold, along with a pink salt crystal formed of cambrian evaporate, aged roughly between 540-600 million years; the package is wrapped up with a few drops of precious Neroli oil, which was harvested in 2019 (a fine year, we can all agree) from Springtime's first orange blossom buds (Nangrahar, Afghanistan).

    INSTRUCTIONS: Listen to the album with the pink crystal on your forehead or on your chest, or somewhere nearby. Touch it, play with it, kiss it if you like. Crystals like these were abundant around the studio during the making of this album (as well as Citrine, Pink Quartz, and a lot of wood + water). Finally, before listening to the song Rose Gold, take a deep inhalation of the scent of Neroli oil (which is both subtle and strong, and should permeate the package that arrives on your doorstep, as well as the pink crystal itself). Rose Gold is a song that is as intimately tied to Afghanistan as the flowers buds that offered us their precious oil.

    INFO: Crystal / Rose Gold USB stick has 2GB capacity. Pink crystal pieces vary by colour. Neroli oil is not visible in the package, it can only be smelled and enjoyed; it is provided in collaboration with the fine work of Ishkar and Turquoise Mountain.

lyrics

Guitar, vocals, drums, synths Yusuf 'Yoshi' Misdaq
Guitar solo, Farhad 'Zink' Hossain

Send me to somewhere
I can't be here
My life is breaking up
While I walk into the dark
Let me find somewhere
Somewhere I still believe
My heart's faded from my chest
And it's not even on my sleeve

Give me to someone
Place my hand over hers
Let me cover her
In dark furs
With pink flowers inside
Pink flowers inside

Pink fleur
When I draw the curtains
The eyes came first
To be sure we were certain
Hands of silence
Lips agreeing on the small things
Before we get to all things
Send me to somewhere
