The usual thing about lyrics is that they need to say something memorable, such as “love is nothing but a rolling cherry” or “dogs will never let you down”.
The unusual thing about Erszy Kiss is that the lyrics carry no moral at all, they work as an instrument. Along with the band, she “plays” those words so convincingly you might feel they used to belong to a long lost culture that has just been melt out of ice. Such a way attracts a lot of freedom; it blindfolds you, spins you around, stops you, takes the scarf off, and it is just entirely up to you to name that landscape surrounding you. There’s a track that makes you feel somehow African, while another one brings you straight to what you think New Orleans might have sounded like back in the twenties or simply wherever you feel like.
