YIDDISH / POLISH / ENGLISH
// Szlof majn fejgele (Yiddish - in Polish transcription)
Niech cię dobry
anioł strzeże
aż po nocy kres.
Cicho skrzydłem
nad kołyską
opatuli cię.
Śpij mi błogo,
nie znaj troski,
śpij, dziecino, śpij!
Śpij mi błogo,
nie znaj troski,
niech ci dobrze się sny!
// Sleep, My Little Bird
Sleep, my little bird,
close your tired eyes.
Sleep, my baby, sleep!
Close your tired eyes,
my little bird, my child.
Sleep, my baby, sleep!
May a good angel
guard your cradle
'till the morning comes.
With his quiet wings,
he'll wrap you in your sleep,
he won't make a sound.
Sleep, sleep safe and sound,
may no one do you harm.
Sleep, my dearest child!
Sleep, sleep safe and sound,
may no one do you harm.
Sleep, be well, my child!

One of my favourite musical discoveries in a while. These musicians are seriously talented. I can’t help imagining that there would have been a whole significant subculture of Yiddish psych rock like this in a different, kinder universe. For now, this is a window into that world that might have been. And I love every second of it. Audrey
Raw black metal that brooks no compromises, this has all the ferocious guitars, lo-fi aesthetics and infernal howling you crave. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 30, 2023

i love a hedonism-monologue from the secondary antagonist of purim because i'm not above admitting akhashverosh's parties were probably pretty fun for him and his buds. s'a mekhaye tsu lebn af der erd, it's a delight to live on the earth! or at least we should make it be. absolutelynotjosh
