1.
A game of pinball to teach humility as I hit the bumper car, I laugh in disbelief back at the Chichen Itza playing unreal tournaments What if all these creatures are me in different shapes? Startled by my exhalation I accept as I curl up for the hibernated embrace Mosaics in playful tessellation The figment of our incantations Accept this offering, dear features of my brain The empty space for us to confer in Mosaics in playful tessellation The figment of our incantations
2.
Caught myself daydreaming I could float as a sun kissed particle of dust in the slow eternal afternoon suspended in a Brownian motion blur Just keep on swirling slowly ‘cross the fish bone floor and let's stir up mesocyclones we got our competition tucked up in our sleeves as long the sun keeps shining on But in due time we all shall be released Now leave it up to me to set these plans into commotion courtesy of those who can wait we are but particularities, flavors of primordial soup But in due time, as our stories intertwine We shall conjure all those secrets divine Where we found a way
3.
Underneath the surface of your fingertips the carbonated skin leaves you bare Trying to avoid the hypotheticals ‘cause you let them all run their course Hear me now, let me speak before the crowd got no things to say just need the limelight Night or day makes no difference no more it's just a pale gray, restless eve Powerless as you scream into the void as you mark the motions one last time Violins hidden deep inside the walls come to serenade your demise Quietly, not quite expecting to be heard you announce yourself to the world Woke up sore… I must have chewed on some glass as I swallowed this city whole Powerless as you scream into the void you run through the motions one last time Violins hidden deep inside the walls come to serenade your demise

You’re watering it down with comedy Built yourself a wall from within You try to understand, but you’re faltering Don’t pry inside my head You can’t back out now, you’re in too deep Locked yourself in a box and swallowed the key You try to understand but you’re faltering You keep on weeding us out, but we don’t even feel it You keep on weeding us out, entirely Don’t pry inside my head The tides are all turning on you you don’t notice how it feels like you don’t know, you don’t know Leave me be

Serendipity 03:11
I’m chasing trees, trying to get lost and I’m starting to believe I I’m eating leaves, I’m running wild Shed my skin against the peat moss Don’t fall asleep, this time around Though it seems to be relieving Forget to breathe, your eyes are clouds and your mouth is out of season A breath explodes in mine a mist surrounding serendipity Forget to breathe this time around you’re seeing the new world climb up to me, you’re barking at The ceiling mirror sees you A breath explodes in mine a mist surrounding serendipity
6.
We Control 05:26
We control everything you know we’re your… We observe every thought and urge we’re your… Your thoughts and desires are ours to provide We control everything you know we’re your…. Your thoughts and desires belong to the depths of our silicone towers to fuel our predictive powers to build a world where all is ours where we know everything about you we know everything about you we know everything about you

Fine Print 05:44
Routine procedure These are most favorable terms We shall deliver All that you dream of shall be yours There’s no mistaking You are the one we’re looking for This sworn allegiance Shall bring great fortune down the line Pearl white, silver and gold Yes, we all read your file Well you needn’t be so quiet You shall appease us as your contractually obliged There is this craving just a pound of flesh can satisfy In time World wide infamy Yes, we all read your file Well you needn’t be so quiet Words don’t mean a thing to me I need your full name in blood at the bottom page I got my whole arsenal of lawyers here all working so tirelessly to secure this case I got my whole system wide held disbelief at your own ability to assess critique it's not on your terms from here on out How could that be misunderstood? Don’t fuck it up this time

Volcanology 05:21
The divine and the earth Reunite before your nose Geese won’t shut up Bugs crawling out Goat go berserk Snakes waking up And the world begins to tremble as it sheds another hide Come into the inferno It forms a running stream as innards gush out a waterfall of molten rocks eating all in its path creatures ossify live a second life embalmed by surprise lest they burn alive and the world returns to slumber its coagulated eye leaving those who didn’t crumble new fertile ground to try Come into the inferno

Play Dough 06:48
Bend us to your goals We’re made to serve your word Craving your control We’re play dough for your soul Terraform your cosmic maiden her surface is your plate Galvanize and clear thy neighbor indulge in atmosphere Guess what makes us all stay up all night Trapped inside her weightless chamber your excavated grave bioluminescent creatures illuminate the way Guess what makes us all stay up all night Rumination, rumination Pushing your circadian rhythm out of line Rumination, rumination As you trace the silhouette across your cornea She keeps us in a mason jar with some holes poked to breathe Builds herself a pedestal and ask us not to kneel Tucked in underneath your tongue she bleeds into your speech At the pouring of the waterfall still gushing in your ear Feels like I’m going nocturnal again

about

Atomic Fruit’s debut album Play Dough is a joyful feast of contradictions. It is mysterious yet catchy, dark but playful.

Samples, sound design, and ear-worm riffs. Atomic Fruit's ambient-trip-hop-psychedelic-rock blend intoxicates and mutates over time.

about

Atomic Fruit Berlin, Germany

Blending psychedelic rock, trip hop and desert blues, Atomic Fruit defies the divide between rock and electronic music.

Marked by ominous harmonies and suggestive lyrics, their music is a strangely familiar lucid hallucination of experimental atmospheres and juicy riffs evolving into hypnotic grooves.
