Rush 03:29
I heard a sound And found you on the ground No I don't mind Because I know you must have been so scared Your eyes need the sleep I can ease your mind Keep the danger from the skies You don't have to speak I know what's in your mind Rush, oh hurry, please hurry Rush please hurry, do hurry Anxious living being Look back, look up and down Trapped in a nervous dream It’s so evident, but it’s our routine Your need for speed Your autistic mind Never dig too deep When you win our tug of war, the letting win, it’s a scene Hook Always in a rush in a hurry Always in a rush in a hurry Always in a rush in a hurry Always in a rush in a hurry Look out, look out, look out Look out, look out, look out

Get Away 04:31
I believe it’s time It’s been on, it’s been on my mind for a very long time now And I don’t care if if we’re wrong, if we’re right Now If you ever need a favour don’t let me pop up in your mind But if you feel we need a saviour let us search and we will find We know, we know, it can’t be true
 We just don’t know who’s fooling who oh Get away, get away, get away from here We should know by now you better steer clear Get away, get away, get away from here We should know by it’s not what you hear Scraping nails, scraping lies Scraping truth the old chalkboard cries You can take it, you can take it, you can take it, take your time Just remember, just remember, just remember, watch your line, watch your line We know, we know, it can’t be true We just don’t know who’s fooling who oh HOOK 
 Science says so God it must be true Yeah they heard about you, yeah they heard about you HOOK

No News 03:28
No news, no news no No news, no news for you no No news, no news for you no news We read the paper in the morning, we're amused Well I got news for you no nothing changes, no-nothing's new What if gossip can't survive just dies Couldn't keep us in line all along It's a habit that we cannot fight History coming back strong Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday It's the same, it’s the same, it’s a shame, it’s insane Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday It's all the same no news no change It feels like a drug it's in your system can't turn it off Sport and divorces, competition, monkeys in a copy kitchen What if gossip can't survive just dies Couldn't keep us in line all along It's a habit that we cannot fight History coming back strong Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday It's the same, it’s the same, it’s a shame, it’s insane Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday It's all the same no news no change No news, no news no No news, no news for you no No news, no news for you no news Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday It's the same, it’s the same, it’s a shame, it’s insane Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday It's all the same no news no change

Monologue 04:38
These television speeches bore me Cuz I can't say what's on my mind I got my vision on your story You keep the truth far behind Talking talking too long Talking talking too long Will there be time to give you my view? Now that we all listened to you This one way traffic feels a bit cruel As if we all owe it to you Talking talking too long Talking talking too long It is as if I am It's as if I'm It's as if I'm It's as if I'm It's just not making sense to me at all It's just not making sense to me at all Talking talking too long Talking talking too long Not trying to offend but I'm not sorry It isn't easy keeping you out You've got me cornered no warning A dead end street, there is no doubt It is as if I am It's as if I'm It's as if I'm It's as if I'm It's just not making sense to me at all It's just not making sense to me at all It's as if I'm, it's as if I'm It's as if I'm out of my head It's as if I'm, it's as if I'm It's as if I'm out of my mind It's as if I'm, it's as if I'm It's as if I'm out of my head It's as if I'm, it's as if I'm It's as if I'm out of my mind It's as if I'm blind It's as if I'm deaf It's as if I'm blind In my head, everywhere It's as if I'm blind It's as if I'm deaf It's as if I'm dead

HERR ALT Amsterdam, Netherlands

Fusing modular sounds with guitar, and ‘random sound encounters’ with songwriting hooks, HERR ALT finds his groove linking guitar licks to EMF manipulation, and live bass lines to Octatrack sequencing. The result is singer-songwriter music, played on a range of modular synths, fueling something both electronic and organic. Alt-indie, but attractive to the festival ear. ... more
