Утром я поняла Что живу в одной вечности вместе со всеми Ледники на картах У меня есть завтра Сложно любить, трудно быть доброй Под глазами тени День в начале марта У меня есть завтра Радость тратить время Финиши и старты У меня есть завтра Радость тратить время

У моєму місті інше повітря У сутінках, між синіх квітів Вранці, коли бракує світла 
Для роздумів про далеке чорне небо 

У моєму місті інше повітря 
Розсіяне срібно і тихо 
Взимку холодне навіть світло
 Тролейбусів, що везуть мене Додому 
А не до тебе

Тихо 02:52
Шепіт твій не впізнаю самотужки Голос твій пролунав з вікна назовні Кожен день глибше прірва, далі прірва Та невже у світі, де панує лихо Сьогодні тихо Чути вже блискавиці і гармати Відчуваю оману перед боєм Я молюсь у квартирі мов в печері І сміюсь, в глибині оцих очей Сьогодні тихо Рукою я тримаю двері Пожежа з лісу вже під домом Птахів обгорнуто у хмари Вони прямують за кордони Відьом ловлю у чайній чашці Жевріє ліс снопом червоним Птахів обгорнуто у хмари…

Little vampires living in grandma’s bed Pesky devils biting her on the head She feels she’s out of time Strange to be out of that I was dreaming I was the Incredible Hulk Getting lucky without being able to talk I feel I’m out of sex Strange to be out of that When you leave the city there’ll be nothing left But the leaves with me underneath Minute creatures believe that grandma died She stands up, walks out, although she’s not allowed Strange to be in the woods Strange to be out of town I’ll go online and buy a transgender cat She’ll be on my lap with grandmother not around I feel I’m out of love Strange to be out of that When you leave the city there’ll be nothing left But the leaves with me underneath

about

Fickle was born out of Langusta’s fascination with underground hip hop beatmaking, Arsenii’s clinging to old-fashioned songwriting and Olena’s droning vocals. The result is crude and eclectic, but also psychedelic and refreshingly pop.

We were making the record in-between our daily chores, working distantly from our homes and never addressed its integrity. Yet it seems like Fickle pretty much captured our life of the past two years, with its doubts and anxiousness, and occasional glimpses of joy.

Langusta on the technical aspects of this recording: “Mostly I work on lo-fi samplers/grooveboxes from the early 00's, including Boss SP303 & SP202 (about 50% of this record was made on this little bastard), Akai S20, Zoom 224. A couple of "Fickle" tunes come from EMX1 & ESX1 Electribes. All these nice guys were mixed and recorded with some help from TEAC 244, plus Sentimental Bob Echo in fx loop. Other inhabitants of my bedroom studio are Fender Mustang with the FRV-1 spring reverb always on, Yamaha Reface CP piano, a couple more guitar pedals, Pioneer CDJ800 for amateur scratching purposes, Roland MC303, used exclusively for its weird arpeggios.”

Written and recorded throughout 2018–2021.
