from CHILDHOOD by AJIMAL

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    CHILDHOOD is the debut album from AJIMAL, featuring a cast of more than 50 musicians and themed around the concept of childhood. The album explores ideas of youth, potential and play through a mix of contemporary, classical, and field recordings.

    Heavyweight 12" vinyl as part of a limited 500 edition pressing. Includes 8-page printed lyric booklet featuring original artwork by Ernesto Artillo and full digital download.

    Recorded with friend and collaborator Mick Ross in various studios, churches, theatres and hospitals in the North East, the resulting album is a carefully constructed work of remarkable beauty. It is a bold debut that combines soaring orchestral grandeur with the quiet intimacies of creaking floorboards, foot scrapes and the breath of performers.

    Includes unlimited streaming of CHILDHOOD via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

The contours of your contortions
The flicker in your hands
The eyes behind the eyelids
The eyes that I can’t withstand
All were fixed upon you
And your body ballet

The landscape of your young shape
The age you learned to age
Grew ideas in your eyes, dear
And boldness in your advance
The desperate fits within you
And your body ballet

The ground shakes, like I do
With the terror of your taste
And clenching up my eyes
My thoughts drip up your thighs
My heartbeat in my feet

But I cannot love…
I’m scared of your sticky kisses
The scent I know as yours
You were the holiest of whores

You were the God of frolic!

Have we lost our play?
Was this that childhood lullaby of love?
What happened to that childhood lullaby of love?
It was violence masquerading as love
