Lyric

Complete silence

Black Boboi

The night was barking

Something in the dark

I reached the door

Sensing your sorrow

Looping emotion

Forming a constellation

That I saw in your

Eyes so pure

Let me have your gravity

I could be stronger, so I'll never let you go

Let me help with your analysis

Tick tack time passes

But I pull you up here

Beneath the surface

I saw you suffer

Agitated, in complete silence

I know your pain

I know your life

No time to blame

I want you to feel alive

Feel alive

Let me have your gravity

I could be stronger, so I'll never let you go

Let me help with your analysis

Tick tack time passes

But I pull you up here

Let me have your gravity

I could be stronger, so I'll never let you go

Let me help with your analysis

Tick tack time passes

But I pull you up here

    Dear,

    Black Boboi

"Black Boboi's first album in five years, Sepia, is an alternative pop record that traverses trip-hop, techno, and ambient textures. The album was inspired by a fictional apocalyptic novel composed through a series of "correspondence letters" exchanged between the three members.

Upon finishing the final track, the listener is left with a profound sense of weight-much like the lingering feeling after watching a cinematic masterpiece-evoked by its free-form sonic imagery and lyrical world.

In a modern society radically transformed by technological innovation, where the traditional "givens" of ethics and morality no longer seem to apply, the expression Black Boboi releases today embraces the nostalgic (=Sepia) while simultaneously questioning how we will confront the future."
