about

Léa Decan
Léa is a talented artist songwriter, singer and is currently studying illustration in Brussels.
Russ found a track of Léa's called Timothée and then discovered that Léa really loved his poem/song ‘trees hug bees’.
Léa developed the song in Paris, Brussels and China. Russ worked separately with Tom Sidebottom on strings richly inspired by English Classical music.

lyrics

Some heckling crows, wake the yawning pine, damson plum lift leaves to the morning cloud, petals open wide, lets the pollen float, for dancing bees to gather and seduce their hosts she’ll fill blossom skies till scent hangs high, drifting the air with seas of bees, when her musk subsides and blossom dies, we swallow the pollen seed gold brown, fall down, she’ll watch her leaves die beautifully, her feet will eat them when it’s springtime auburn, bourbon ....bees feed
Some heckling crows wake the autumn vine, pear and elder bleed at the edge of brown, heavy fruit trees bow, break their swollen stalk, for drunken bees to gather and seduce their hosts, she eats words and and sighs to feed the skies, growing fresh air in damson leaves, then, in autumns high, her fruit will try to fill us with apple seed gold brown, fall down, she’ll watch her leaves die beautifully, her feet will eat them when it’s springtime auburn, bourbon ....trees breathe

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often. Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
