PINKNOISE: The Dance Of The Diaspora (2010) - Demo Recording
Folk music has always come from the village. But now, the city has its own folk music, too.
We speak English when we’re polite. But our exclamation marks are in the mother tongue. The food on the table is continental. Before bed, it’s Sanskrit prayers at night. This can only happen in India. Where the culture is ancient. The attitude is future. And the state of peace is an unlikely mix of madness and endless calm.
These songs are stories of the Indian diaspora. They are interfaces. Between lullaby and rap. Between temple dance and machine beat. Between elephant gods and grimy thugs.
Between back-then and tomorrow.
In the now.

The quartet was formed in 2006 to make sophisticated improvised rock, but has since morphed into a search for stories in energy, language, space and consciousness.

TEMPLE DANCER / PINKNOISE
THE DANCE OF THE DIASPORA
I WATCH THE TEMPLE DANCER
THE PRETTY PRETTY DANCER
SHE REMINDS ME OF MY SISTER
WHO'S GONE SO FAR
SHE'S GONE TO AMERICA
THE LAND OF DREAMS AND BIG CARS
I HOPE SHE FINDS THE STAR SHE'S LOOKING FOR
SHE WORE WHITE BLOSSOMS IN HER HAIR
LEFT A TRAIL OF FRAGRANCE EVERYWHERE
THE SCENT STILL LINGERS IN THE AIR
I CAN ALMOST SEE HER
I CAN ALMOST HEAR HER
THE BELLS THE MUSIC AS SHE DANCED
HOW SHE DANCED
ALWAYS INVOKING HER DEITY
ALWAYS PROVOKING GRAVITY
ALWAYS CHALLENGING HER MUSE
BORN TO DANCE, SHE CANNOT LOSE
I WATCH THE TEMPLE DANCER
THE PRETTY PRETTY DANCER
SHE REMINDS ME OF MY SISTER
WHO'S GONE SO FAR
SHE'S GONE TO AMERICA
THE LAND OF DREAMS AND BIG CARS
I HOPE SHE FINDS THE STAR
SHE'S LOOKING FOR
ALWAYS INVOKING HER DEITY
ALWAYS PROVOKING GRAVITY
ALWAYS CHALLENGING HER MUSE
BORN TO DANCE, SHE CANNOT LOSE

THE NANI SEASON / PINKNOISE
THE DANCE OF THE DIASPORA
SUMMER IS THE TIME THE CHILDREN COME HOME
SUMMER IS THE TIME THE CHILDREN COME HOME
SUMMER IS THE TIME THE CHILDREN COME HOME
SUMMER IS THE TIME SHE'LL WATCH THEM ROAM
ALL DAY THROUGH THE FIELDS
THE WHEAT UPTO THEIR HEADS
AND WHEN THE DAY IS DONE THEY'LL TUMBLE
INTO THEIR BEDS
HOME
THEY'RE HOME
HOME
THEY'RE HOME
SINGING AND DANCING
UNDER THE STARS
LUMINOUS VENUS
AND MARS
SUMMER IS THE TIME THE LITTLE GIRLS
FLIT LIKE BUTTERFLIES
IN LONG SKIRTS OF COBALT AND GREEN
THEIR BRAIDS FLYING INTO THEIR EYES
AND THE BOYS WILL DEMAND ENDLESS TRACTOR RIDES
WE LOVE YOU NANI THEY'LL SAY
AND SHE FEELS LIKE ASKING BUT NEVER DOES
WHY DONT YOU STAY
HOME
FOR NOW THEY'RE HOME
HOME
THEY'RE HOME
SWEET CELEBRATION
UNDER THE SKIES
BIG HARVEST MOON
STARTS TO RISE

You've got a degree in dollar science
You calculate, you analyze
You've become the go-to-guy
When flow gets slow and well runs dry
Interest rates consume your mind
While you've totally lost interest in mine
You plot your graphs and chart your pies
No more shared laughs, no more shared sighs
It's all about the green
Nothing can come between
You and your precious screen
So scared of what I'm seeing
I recall the days when
You had time for your friends
Many things excited you
And you had a wide-angle view
That was another life
You cut up with the knife
The knife you sharpened on the stone
The stone that destroyed this home
You only want to spread the sheet
You don't care that life's gone counterfeit
