Tombstone 03:31
Now the soil is burning Now my soul is burning Elvi’s left the building Let’s start the killing It is getting emotional What’s more to say after all? It is getting personal It was always personal Face me You’ve got to face me You’ve got to break me I’m not crazy This is your tombstone These are all of your bones You can’t walk away from here This is your tombstone Walking right behind you I am here to judge you Do you like your tombstone I did the best I could do It is getting emotional What’s more to say after all? It is getting personal It was always personal Face me You’ve got to face me You’ve got to break me I’m not crazy This is your tombstone These are all of your bones You can’t walk away from here This is your tombstone You know it’s my own tombstone My own tombstone This is your tombstone
7.
Intentions 04:49
At this moment Nothing really matters Hit by a thunder In the middle of the summer Our love’s a graveyard A clock that is not ticking right A heart that is stopped A stranger in a stranger’s land You know my intentions Running out of patience I am not pretentious I’m just hurt Lost in your horizon Lost inside your eyes now Lost, manipulated I’m damaged and I’m faded Payback master Summer ending laughters What comes after? A fucking disaster Our love’s a graveyard A clock that is not ticking right A heart that is stopped A stranger in a stranger’s land You know my intentions Running out of patience I am not pretentious I’m just hurt Lost in your horizon Lost inside your eyes now Lost, manipulated I’m damaged and I’m faded
8.
Modern World 05:19
I’m in the deadly hands Of this modern world I need to get away From this modern world All sides of life are changed In this modern world I’m tired of living in vain In this modern world I break to pieces Wasted wishes Everyday means pain Embrace my grievance Televised wisdom This is not ok Help, help, help, help

about

The English-speaking alter ego of Jimmy Polioudis, The Vagina Lips, returns with the album Negative Feelings after a 2.5-year recording absence, which actually wasn't an absence at all as he was active all this time with his Greek-language project MAZOHA.

The creative process of the album was adventurous. The audio files for two albums, including the eight tracks of "Negative Feelings", were lost from Jimmy's computer under unknown circumstances and he had to start again from scratch. At a time when he was immersed in negative thoughts and feelings (hence the title of the album) through the recordings he managed to find his inner balance and move on.

Negative Feelings is a pure indie album, faithful to the post punk, shoegaze and 90s American rock influences of The Vagina Lips. The mellowest moments (Intentions, Sad B4 It Was Cool) and the more up-tempo tracks (Get Off The Train, It's Alright, Another Hit, Modern World) are both characterized by intense sadness, but without "blackening" the listener, but instead they take us on a positive, almost dreamlike pattern. There is no shortage of loud and rough sounding moments with tracks like Braindead and Tombstone that grab you by the throat from the first note.

Out on LP and Digital album on December 2nd via Ιnner Ear.

To αγγλόφωνο alter ego του Τζίμη Πολιούδη, The Vagina Lips, επιστρέφει με το album “Negative Feelings” μετά από 2,5 χρόνια δισκογραφικής απουσίας, που ουσιαστικά δεν ήταν απουσία καθώς όλο αυτό το διάστημα ήταν ενεργό το ελληνόφωνο project του MAZOHA.

Η δημιουργική διαδικασία του album ήταν περιπετειώδης. Τα ηχητικά αρχεία για δύο albums, μέσα σε αυτά και τα οκτώ κομμάτια του “Negative Feelings”, χάθηκαν από τον υπολογιστή του Τζίμη κάτω από άγνωστες συνθήκες και χρειάστηκε να τα ξαναγράψει όλα από την αρχή. Σε μια εποχή που είχε βυθιστεί σε αρνητικές σκέψεις και συναισθήματα (εξ ου και ο τίτλος του δίσκου) μέσα από τις ηχογραφήσεις κατάφερε να βρει την εσωτερική του ισορροπία και να πάει παρακάτω.

Το Negative Feelings είναι ένα καθαρόαιμο indie album, πιστό στις post punk, shoegaze και 90s American rock επιρροές του Vagina Lips. Τόσο οι πιο mellow στιγμές (Intentions, Sad B4 It Was Cool) όσο και τα πιο up-tempo κομμάτια (Get Off The Train, It’s Alright, Another Hit, Modern World) χαρακτηρίζονται από έντονη χαρμολύπη, χωρίς όμως να «μαυρίζουν» τον ακροατή, αλλά αντίθετα μας ταξιδεύουν σε ένα θετικό, σχεδόν ονειρικό μοτίβο. Δεν λείπουν οι δυνατές και τραχιές ηχητικά στιγμές με κομμάτια όπως το Braindead και το Tombstone που σε πιάνουν από το λαιμό από την πρώτη νότα.

Κυκλοφορεί σε LP και Digital album στις 2 Δεκεμβρίου από την Ιnner Ear.
