Hold 03:40
I drank all our emotions I swallowed all your anger I wanted to dive too deep Bathing in a stranger’s water I’ve turned your flaws into gold Turned your walls into bonds It’s like I swam in the snow Now my body’s tired of the cold The broken flowers in your past Won’t ever let you fall apart Now you hold and never let go The water inside of you Now you hold and never let go The water inside of you I saw your light from the shore I gave you my own sun But now I feel this warmth Out of stone My own light grows The broken flowers in your past Won’t ever let you fall apart Now you hold and never let go The water inside of you Now you hold and never let go The water inside of you Water flows Drawing holes Water grows Now it flows Water flows Drawing holes Water grows Now it flows And I let go I let go (I let) I drank all our emotions I swallowed all your anger I drank all our emotions

I waited outside Holding tight, to my own Faith in our vows I try in denial Not to smother my fire But it’s over now Even if I broke our bond Even if I broke our home It’s not just right or wrong Even if I broke our bond Even if I broke our home It’s not Now watch my doors, watch my doors I open my walls Raging fires kept me down Oh, electric bright Now I suck on my pride Bite my tongue, no I won’t I won’t let it show Oh, I won’t let it glow (Electric bright) Even if I broke our bond Even if I broke our home It’s not just right or wrong Even if I broke our bond Even if I broke our home It’s not Now watch my doors, watch my doors (Now watch my doors, watch my doors) I waited outside Holding tight, to my own Faith in our vows (Electric bright) I try in denial Not to smother my fire But it’s over now (Oh) (Oh, electric bright) (Oh, now watch my doors, watch my doors)

Unbinding the pain Our souls Now enter the domain Of craving gold Unbinding the pain Our souls (Our souls) Enter craving gold Fall into New gravity Fall into New gravity Leaving all to Eternity We fade into Recovery Celebrating home Our chests On and on, will own Our chests And own this golden ground we shared Fall into New gravity Fall into New gravity Leaving all to Eternity We fade into Recovery Visions of a ruined ego Illusions Memories of golden soil Delusion Carried back and forth Like a body in water Fading back Newborn normality Fall into New gravity Leaving all to Eternity We fade into Recovery

Unarmed 03:16
This rush in your head Like a flood underground Something’s coursing through my veins Devastating me again You keep seeing my words As a shimmering sword You see, I won’t play the game Of wounding our egos Unarmed I come with flowers In my arms I call a truce I’ll spread soothing earth On our aching roots For them to find shelter With gentle light, they’ll bloom You keep your name I’ll find my own way To the burning memory Of our shattered sanctuary Unarmed I come with flowers In my arms I call a truce Unarmed I come with flowers In my arms I leave in peace (Ah) Unarmed (Ah) I come with flowers (Ah) In my arms (Ah) (Ah) Unarmed I come with flowers In my arms I call a truce Unarmed I come with flowers In my arms I leave in peace Ahh (Ah)

Off Season 03:19
Shining suns in the dark Old grounds shiver inside Shining souls in the night Oh, I know, know this is right We’ll dance alone We’ll float on our own Drawing rainbows in the night Shadows out of light We’ll dance alone We’ll float on our own Drawing rainbows in the night Shadows out of light Rushing seas singing soft In off seasons we got close Rushing rains my home lost But now I know, I know this right We’ll dance alone We’ll float on our own Drawing rainbows in the night Shadows out of light We’ll dance alone We’ll float on our own Drawing rainbows in the night Shadows out of light We’ll dance alone We’ll float on our own Drawing rainbows in the night Shadows out of light

Restore 06:33
Your body bursts Into sparkling dust Enlightening the air Restoring my veins My eyes are closed But I see firesmoke Like dust in the dark Restoring my heart In your arms I fall asleep Rare gods talking to me Restoring my bones (Restoring my bones) In your arms I fall asleep Rare gods talking to me Restoring my home My body’s home To every sparkle A temple at dawn Rising on open grounds In your arms I fall asleep Rare gods talking to me Restoring my bones In your arms I fall asleep Rare gods talking to me Restoring my home

about

« Restore », the first album by electronic alt-pop duo Namaka is a personal introspection in the mechanisms of a break up. Human and honest, it reflects the inner struggle of every feeling that comes with it, like a photograph of the universe inside. Rich in nuance, all the seven songs on the album have their own place and attitude, each one telling about a different momentum of the same process. On « Hold » you can feel the water flowing through you body, like a rush of energy beginning to let go. « Off Season », darker, is an attempt to fill the void and to let yourself supported by warm air. And « Electric Riot », explosive and raw, represents the aggression and the delusion that come with misunderstandings and diverging points of view.

All the songs were written during a recording week at the Centre Culturel in Arbaz (VS), Switzerland. For this record, the band worked with the Irish producer David Odlum, who helped with the production and mixed the album. Thoughtfully layered, it flows with this uncontrolled electricity, shaking and soothing at once. The theme of water is very present all along the album and is also a big part of Namaka’s musical identity. In « Restore », the water is at once an image of overload and flood, but also a metaphor for emotional growth and rebirth. For the first time on a record, Namaka featured an electric bass - giving it the role of a second narrative alongside the voice, telling simultaneously the same story, both from their own point of view.
