Kish Kollektiv The debut 'mini album' from the Slovak multi-media artist. A talented and varied group of UK-based musicians provide minimalist, mostly electronic backdrops to accompany Ms. Slovakova's half-whispered poetic meditations on love, relationships, jealousy and identity. "BerryNess" features some beautiful cello surrounded by a shifting, echoing electronic soundscape. A very short but very sweet collection... Favorite track: BerryNess.

Honesty 00:40
Here A piece of broken mirror For you to reflect sun into my eyes. I know that I am going to tear for sure but I’ll smile at the same time I will tell you a story that might even rhyme And Sing you a song that has unknown melody ‘It comes from my own head’ You will hear me saying And we’ll hold hands Because That is what you do When you meet your guardian angel Right?

He asked sweetly: Soooo, I am a poem? She replied: Nah, you, you’re a feelin’… You You are my lullaby This air that I breathe in That Something I’d mumble You are the words in a smile And it’s all Incomprehensible You are these melodies Floating falling upwards And when I hit the second cloud to the left I squeak You are these melodies Floating Falling upwards As you rock me to my daydreams You are these melodies Floating Falling upwards As you rock me to my sleep And it’s all Incomprehensible

LoveSong 02:48
Colour – Colour - Blush. I stand here Rooted deep into all these moaning insecurities That surface from my within I keep on whispering your name Over and over again Trying to recreate the peace That surrounded us As we stood in silence Hi. Coloured – Coloured Blush, As it speaks in its very own Tongues I don’t even try to understand What it all means right now So I stand here Rooted deep into that ground of emotional unease As it overwhelms It comes in waves Travelling all over my body And I stand here Tied tight into its movements Taking deepest of the breaths Making sure that I do not fly off Well, Thank You. I blossom from deep within In a gentle manner That finds me all disarmed and confused Thinking of every other defeat that according to someone I once spoke to…truly makes you a stronger As I pick up the pieces, sun is long gone And Another song appears It’s wishful and I repeat it until the pieces become the same old me Again It goes, ‘Would you be mine Merry Merry Valentine Bundled in a magic box I keep my fingers crossed That I…’

Skovranok riesi si veci Krasne a na plne srdce Hlasom slavika Hladi to dusu V tomto meste plnom hluku It’s layer on top of the layer It’s the noise that beats us down And here he is Empty hall Monday night Len zvukar, barman a ja Soaking it all in A skovranok riesi si veci…

RegenAchtig 02:02
Het regen kommt Van boven naar beneden Het kommt Het kommt And in the meantime There you are Licking the mirror Hoping to get closer to your Self And in the meantime Dážď padá Zhora nadol Het kommt Het kommt And in the meantime There you are Taking your pills Remaining all calm Just like a sign in a record store had said And in a meantime Dážď padá Zhora nadol Het kommt...

BerryNess 03:05
Cryin‘ Poisonberries Poisonberries There’s a glimpse of consciousness It’s a home grown one Sitting in the corner of the eye Weepin‘ Weepin‘ Poisonberries Poisonberries I thought: ‘Is there anything to tear about?’ Then you said: ‘It’s those Poisonberries Poisonberries’ Glimpse of insecurity It’s an home grown one And it’s squeekin‘: ‘Oh Those Poisonberries Poisonberries’ And he who understood it clearly, he just shook his head and walked away Never turned back Never returned Only in his pocket, there was a handful of berries that knew how to sing And cry from time to time

I walk my ego on a leash It barks on passers by I walk my ego on a leash It barks on passers by I feed it flesh I keep it fresh It barks on passers by Look it in the eye it’s ever so cute Hey look it in the eye it’s ever so cute I feed it flesh I keep it fresh It barks on passers by I picked up the phone and spoke to Jackie She was in Miami and she told me that her ego had a condo. So I started thinking what my ego is like and I thought… Well… I thought, My ego is a dog, it barks on passers by I feed it flesh I keep it fresh It barks on passers by Hey look it in the eye, it’s ever so cute. Look it in the eye, it’s ever So Cute And I walk it on a leash As it barks around As it barks around As it barks around
