You've got some blood upon your shoulder Got some tears fallin' fast Got some residental powder Got some pictures of grass Got some figures of her beauty Got some numbers to choose To declare her is to love her And to pick her is to lose I've got the orchestra of livin' And it's sleepin' in my hand And if you want to hear it breathin' You're most welcome if you can Got the orchestra of livin' And it's sheltered like a bird Never comes across the records Never moves away in thirds Got some patchworks of disaster Got some words of muttered rage Got some perforated verses Got some larks in a cage Got them purity casinos Got them singers in line Got them marchin' ever further Got them losin' their time I've got the orchestra of livin' And it's sleepin' in my hand And if you want to hear it breathin' You're most welcome if you can Got the orchestra of livin' And it's sheltered like a bird Never comes across the records Never moves away in thirds Got some sisters of seduction Got some rules to live by Got some conservative raptures Got one hand at the sky And it's pointing out the beauty That'll be never quite reached And it acts out its agression And it spills out its filth I've got the savage messiah On a savage rebirth I've got the savage messiah On a savage rebirth

Izidor 03:52
Looking for a friend Streets where I'll be damned Going through extremes End is closer than it seems I'm not giving up Got my wine and a cup I'm drifting till I'm dry That's the way to kiss the sky Somebody is not perfect Nobody is insane I need just anybody Just to ease the pain Got my Russian friend up here He coughs and says hello Ain't been this way my darling Since we started the war And we should be leaving now We should be a holy cow We should be leaving now Like a holy cow Izidor, take it easy Izidor, fly on Izidor, take it easy Izidor, greet the dawn I'm just flying Through the dusk Picking up the pieces Of rust and dust

High rise blocks awaken Time is up today Feeling safe but shaken In the claws of day Dreaming of a motorbike Drinking Tatra, smoking Spike Readings books on warriors Pale and broken down Traveling up to the city centre In my morning gown Dreaming of a motorbike Drinking Tatra, smoking Spike Dreaming of a motorbike Drinking Tatra, smoking Spike Heads are filled with murder Corruption and deceit Moving like a panther Down the shaky street Dreaming of a motorbike Drinking Tatra, smoking Spike

Neons here, neons there Neons shine on me everywhere I put my feet on the street The only way, a brighter day In the neon jungle I exist the best way that I can In the neon jungle I exist the best way that I can Neons here, neons there Neons shine on me everywhere I put my feet on the street The only way, a brighter day Get to it Neon jungle closes in, there's nothing I can do Long ago I paid for freedom and eternal view Neons here, neons there Neons here, neons there Neon jungle closes in, there's nothing I can do Long ago I paid the price for beauty and for truth Closing in, closing in Neon jungle view Neon jungle view Neon jungle view Neon jungle view

about

Back to the roots with "EP3".

Our third EP was actually "Ajax" (2021), which came after "EP1" and "EP2".

On "EP3" we imagine a lost Fairyport Convent EP with brand new songs and older jams recorded and refreshed 2023.

"Dying Astronaut" is inspired by early Nektar and Eloy, and tells the tale of an astronaut travelling endlessly through the black empty space of the Universe.
"Savage Messiah" was inspired by the 1972 film, titled, of course, "Savage Messiah".
"Izidor" had its origin in the original high rise jams and is part of an improv saga of the war in space, Cold War, but also current war and wars all around this miserable planet. But the spirit of the track is somehow slightly cheerful, bringing to mind The Who, whose riffs inspired the song.
"Drinking Tatra, Smoking Spike" is sort of a product placement strategy - memorizing the Tatra beer and Spike cigarettes. Tatra was the cheapest beer available in the Górczyn high rise, and Spike were the best cigarettes we could smoke - cheap, and they came in packs of 30!
Finally, "Neon Jungle View" is about the big city. Any big city, since all big cities carry the same current of neon lit hi-tech solitude.

"EP3" is both something you'd expect from us, and something totally unexpected. It is also the unique Fairyport Convent sound you can love or hate, but it is ours and we are proud of it. We hope you enjoy the release and have fun listening.

Fly on.
