LYRICS:

For fuck's sake

We living life like a bubble wrapped ape She came to mind when I treble that bass I’m tired of playing the good black I said I’m tired of playing the good black I’m tired of having to hold back I’m tired of wearing this hallmark for some evils that happened way back I’m tired of blaming the white man His indiscretion don’t betray him A black man can play him Some white men are black men too Niggah to them A gentleman to you

Some white men are black men too

Niggah, Ohwae Owhae Awake

Watch your body Wash itself Baptise baby I bath in blood Dare be told I seldom do surrender God forsaking no good do-good-er It’s all out Out in the open Looking for the wild one Boy I’m fragile Choke on bones while choking stone You knock me or your miss me Or you miss me

Niggah, Ohwae Owhae Awake

Old rock n roll Not what you’ve been sold Congo square is open for business I was there as god is my witness There you fucking go (So there you fucking go)

The album title explained.

This is an extract from an email exchange between members of the group and management. In this extract Alloysious passionately explains his reasoning against worries about the album title causing offence.

19 Jan 201 “I still prefer the first title by far and stand by it.

I’m aware of the points we’ve discussed but all that sounds like to me is, we are trying to cater to what other people might think, as if it’s a negative thing, which it’s not. We came at it from a different angle, a positive angle. it’s got issues of race and so what? Why should alarm bells start ringing, even though in general conversations race, politics, sex and religion are always the subject matter? Why should it be discussed behind closed doors and never confronted head on?

How do we help tackle one of the biggest hinderances in people’s lives and the world… by not putting the question forward and not letting people debate positively or negatively about the statement?

Motown music helped change the world, made it expectable for blacks to be on radio and seen on tv, MJ did it too. Martin Luther King wanted equality and achieved it to some degree. But, after all that, are things equal in this world? FUCK NO. I still want to ask for it (equality) backed with the best music we’ve ever recorded. A pop album, our interpretation of what a pop album should be.

Weight with words, which is the title plus the pop sensibility of the songs (respectively).

I wanna stand for something which I helped make. Folk will complain about absolutely anything… Even it’s it from the purest of intentions you just can’t win. We don’t make music to please other people or write certain lyrics to do so, either. Why start now?

When the title was first put forward everybody was excited and 100% there was no fear. That same commitment needs be carried on to make it work despite worries after it’s been digested.” Ends.

November is the best time time to make albums in Berlin. All through November, Young Fathers will be in residence, recording the follow up album to the Mercury-nominated DEAD, in Berlin. PLOT27 is the name of the residence. Every week a work list will be posted online and pinned to a notice board. A clock will be installed. Attendance will be recorded. The recordings will take place amid a fevered creative environment. All the elements of a modern pop recording release operation will be formulated: artwork, videos and photographs. Every week they will invite a select group of people for 'Quality Control' previews, based on the famous weekly Motown meetings when tracks were chosen for release or production. They will be invited to eat dinner with the group and cast their opinions and votes after listening to the week's new recordings. By the end of November all the parts of the album will be ready to be fitted together for release on Big Dada in the first months of 2015. An intense work schedule in a challenging environment should produce interesting results. They expect it to be hard work, cold and hot. There will be arguments and much bass. Young Fathers aren't afraid. They promise there will be no cold war, barbed wire or smack.
