Wanja Olten What a sonic world Waterbaby invents and expanses in this album: highly dense atmospheres near beyond time. Waterbaby embodies silky banshee-voices on the edge to Kate Bush's iconic sound and attitude („Tangerine“). Extensive arrangements carried along thoughtful composition. Carefully, sublime and decisive use of well-known synth-colours (maybe a Korg M1). Meticolous crafted, engineered, mixed and mastered. Favorite track: Tangerine.

Satin 04:52
Everything moving like satin Everyone moving on Who would have known I’d be alone Everything breaking like glass Lying down on the grass Look at the sky Falling apart Everything moving like satin Aah Aah Everything shining like gold Everyone shining like stars Who could have known I’d be left in the dark Everything spinning like a washing machine Everyone watching it go around Tune in, tune out Everything moving like satin Aah Can’t get into heaven God knows that I try It’s some nightclub Up in the sky Aah Satin so blue All over you I’m moving on too Like satin moves Aah Everything moving like satin Aah Ahh mmm We’re going In different directions Ahh mmm In different directions In different Directions Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Revolve 03:11
Revolving Dissolving Enter the world like a baby Oh change your mind Your mind Your mind Your mind The room is shining Your pain is going Revolving Dissolving Revolving (so for a while was spinning) Dissolving (so fast around was dizzy) Enter the world like a baby Oh change the key And sing with me (all around you) It’s easy (somewhere inside you) To be (somewhere inside you, all around you) Your world’s revolving Now swallow it whole Revolving (so for a while was spinning) Dissolving (so fast around was dizzy) Enter the world like a baby

She’s lying there listening to an echo He doesn’t care that her world is turning blue Tape machine looping within you Faster now than a revolution She’s watching him like she watches trash TV He doesn’t care that she watches on repeat All her tears falling like the rain All her love calling like an air raid I’ll whisper it in I’ll whisper it in your ear It’s so quiet in here Why can’t you hear? Ooh let me whisper it in your ear Come near I’ll whisper it in your ear Your ear Ooh let me whisper it in your ear Ahh your ear Come near Close up magic in here If you could only hear She’s moving closer to the cherry moon Climbing up to get a better view Halo rings all around you Rounder than a revolution (I’ll whisper it in) I’m looking for a station (I’ll whisper it in your ear) Some kind of frequency (It’s so quiet in here) Get you on my wavelength (Why can’t you hear?) Radio receive me Ooh let me whisper it in your ear Come near I’ll whisper it in your ear Your ear Ooh let me whisper it in your ear Ahh your ear Come near Close up magic in here If you could only hear Ooh aah yeah Close up magic in everything Your voice like ink gets under the skin Put your ear to the wall hear me sing Keep listening ‘til your ears ring I’m looking for a station Some kind of frequency Get you on my wavelength Radio receive me Close up Magic It’s real It’s true So near In my room

Watching burnt out stars In underwire bras On broken VCRs Oh when’s something going to happen? I was made for another time Not the one before But the one we’ve been waiting for In twenty years from now Maybe you’ll understand Silver bomb Shining like the moon Are you ready to explode? Silver bomb Shining the moon Are you ready to blow? Microwaved food Shopping channel blues Nothing to buy, too much to choose Oh when’s something going to happen? Oh when’s something going to happen? Oh when’s something going to happen? Oh when’s something going to happen? Oh when’s something going to happen?

Supermarket 05:44
Ooh pinball machine Play it for me Ooh the marble rolls Out of reach Ooh silver jackpot dream (silver machine) Win it for me (win it for me) Ooh paper queen Spin the wheel Going nowhere On a train to somewhere Going somewhere On a train to nowhere Ahh Ooh will you take me there Ooh will you tell me where Ooh will you drive me there Ooh will you take me somewhere Ooh get down on your knees And worship At the supermarket Joy Ooh all your feelings on sale All your life canned and stacked up in lines Straight up ahead Ooh tell me what you see (what do you see?) In my tea leaves (in my tea leaves) Ooh do you see the sun Or a sea of misery? Going nowhere On a train to somewhere Going somewhere On a train to nowhere Ahh Ooh will you take me there Ooh will you tell me where Ooh will you drive me there Ooh will you take me somewhere Ooh get down on your knees And worship At the supermarket Joy Ooh all your feelings on sale All your life canned and stacked up in lines Straight up ahead Straight up ahead The road so flat you could be dead Could be dead Straight up ahead Straight up ahead The road so flat you could be Dead Always looking for something else Or someone to take you there This night train takes you somewhere It drives straight through the Through the Through the Through the Through the Through the Lights Ooh will you take me there Ooh will you tell me where Ooh will you drive me there Ooh will you take me somewhere Ooh get down on your knees And worship At the supermarket Joy Could be dead At the supermarket Out of reach At the supermarket Straight up ahead

Thin Air 04:51
They say love is blind Tampers with the mind So call 999 Get them on the line Now earth’s out of sight Two planes pass in the night Don’t you know I’m tired Need some peace and quiet Ah I’m not there Staring at the sun ‘Til the colours run Staring at the sun ‘Til the colours run I am ascending You are descending We’ve been pretending Our whole lives And then we’ll be crash landing On this long haul flight Am I the pilot Or the passenger? We’re going higher With the engine on fire Learning how to hide You’re getting hard to find Don’t say it’s goodbye Just stay for tonight This heaven ain’t mine Treats me so unkind Something in the wine Too much makes me cry Ah I’m not there Staring at the sun ‘Til the colours run Staring at the sun ‘Til the colours run You missed your connection You lost your reception We’re going backwards in time And then we’ll be crash landing On the dark side Am I the pilot Or the passenger? We’re going higher With the engine on fire White wing that glides on the blue She’s given up and stopped looking for you You can’t follow she’ll be gone tomorrow She’ll disappear like thin air Seatbelt on and ribbons in her hair Headphones in and her jacket on the chair She’ll touch down in a new time zone Then she’ll disappear like thin air Ah ah I’m not there Ah ah I’m not there I’m on thin air Am I the pilot Or the passenger? We’re going higher With the engine on fire

Spiral 04:45
Ooh spin a web in me So I catch you fly Ahh stick to me And say you are mine Ooh feels like I’m tangled Stuck here like glue Ooh start to unravel Waiting there for you It just goes round again Like a video tape It replays on and on again Like a spiral Like a spiral Like a spiral Ooh down like a stairwell Going round and round Ahh feels like a spiral Ooh feels like the end Ohh can you hear the echo When she calls your name Ohh hear it all around you Hear it calling you again It just goes round again Like a video tape It replays on and on again Like a spiral Like a spiral Like a spiral It’s got to end Yes it’s got to end When you spiral Yes a spiral The dream has got to end Some time The dream has got to end Some time The dream has got to end Some time But it doesn’t ‘Cos I saw her again Ooh feels like I’m flying Ohh so high above Ahh feels like I’m dying Ooh feels like I’m dead Ohh can’t touch a feeling Going round your head She’s just like the sun Burning everyone It just goes round again Like a video tape It replays on and on again It just goes round again Like a video tape It replays on and on again Like a spiral Like a spiral Like a spiral Down down like a stairwell Going like a spiral Going round Going round, around and around Around, around and around Mmm mmm

about

Fully self-produced, ’22° Halo’ is a kaleidoscopic odyssey blending otherworldly and experimental electronica with choral singing, folk, kraut and pop. Waterbaby’s insular and feminine sonic world showcases inventive song structures backed by dizzying layers of production – all crafted on their stash of lost & found analogue gear.

Mixing magic with the mundane, “the album is a trip from birth to death, a journey that begins in the morning when a garbage truck drowns out your siren song and ends at night in the cinema of your dreams, watching your life play out on the big screen".
