Embrace me on my chest, Breathe slowly and gently And be the girl of my quest. Let's see if the clown can dance To give you another chance. Let it go. Let it go. You are purple now. Seems like you are holding my arms Pleasing me with your warm hands. One moment in time, To believe in your shine. Don't get me wrong, You are purple now. It doesn't take long, My hunger is strong. Let it go. Let it go. Life is crossing your wooden eyes. Let it go. Let it go. You are purple now.'

I smashed your face With all my love. I smashed your legs With all my grace. The chicken is cackling. The hole is open And those walls are wet, I see a little bug there Waiting for his bread. The ckicken is cackling. No shame to fall Deep...deep... deep down. You're getting too small Not easy being found. Get into this hole... Little... little... little bird. I still hear your soul The curtains will slurred. No shame to fall Deep... deep... deep down. You're getting too small Not easy being found. Get inside this hole... Little... little... little bird. I still hear your soul The curtains will slurred.

about

In the eerie twilight between light and darkness, where the boundaries of reality and imagination blur, the enigmatic ensemble known as Joel Fausto & Illusion Orchestra weave a haunting narrative in their 2019 album, Inside The Throat Of A Giant Insect. With a tracklist that reads like a cryptic journey into the unknown - "The Bug," "The Purple," "The Portal," "The Hole," and "Ó Menina!" - this dark jazz masterpiece delves deep into the recesses of the human psyche, creating an atmosphere that foreshadowed the looming abyss of the COVID-19 era. The album's enigmatic artwork, crafted by the graphic artist Inês Cardoso, portrays her own visage, an enigmatic figure that beckons the listener to explore the depths of the music contained within. Her presence on the cover art suggests that she is an integral part of the album's narrative, a guide through the labyrinthine passages of sound. Her eyes, shrouded in mystery, seem to peer into the listener's soul, inviting them to join her on this soturne path.

Inside The Throat Of A Giant Insect it's an immersive experience that transcends traditional boundaries of music. It's a descent into the abyss of existence, a journey through the shadows of the human psyche. In a world where music often serves as a mere backdrop to our daily lives, this album demands our full attention. It invites us to confront our fears, explore the depths of our emotions, and embrace the enigmatic and unknown. It's a reminder that art has the power to reflect the anxieties and uncertainties of our time, and Inside The Throat Of A Giant Insect does so with haunting elegance and a sense of impending doom that now feels all too prescient.
