    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Mixing haunting vocals and synths with acoustic piano and drums, the debut album from Swiss group Wabjie intertwines jazz with touches of genre-bending artists like Radiohead, Björk, Erykah Badu and Fiona Apple. A colourful and groovy drum beat, a piano that doesn’t fear the blues, landscapes of synthesizers flirting with prog and a moving, dancing voice blend together to take flight, regardless of etiquette and genre.

Perhaps, Maybe ? Perhaps or Maybe ? The sun will not go down until you ask for it, I'm sure of it since today, when I woke up it was still there. Peaking through my, peaking through your dirty window, shut those blinds. Perhaps I'll ask the sun to stop just for a day, it must be pretty tired, shining so bright all of this darn time. Peaking through my, peaking through your dirty window, shut those blinds. La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la la la, la la la, la la la la la la la la la, la la la Perhaps or maybe, maybe, perhaps, maybe, or maybe, perhaps, maybe ?

Doubt 06:29
There is sense in what's troubling your honest mind The one that has been filled, assessed with other's hopes The day's rough but you know it's worth trying to breathe out Cos' it might not lead you to any known gentle thoughts So Take your time to figure out what you want to answer Today's rough but you know it's worth trying to read The message that only can be told if you resolve I'm a just around cos' whatever you hold makes my code Believable, believable, believable, believable Cos' it might not lead you to any known gentle thoughts It might not lead you to any known thoughts So take your time to figure out whatever it is you want, you want to answer It might not lead you to any known gentle gentle thoughts So take your time to figure, figure, figure out what you want to answer You can't win You can't fail You can only begin So take your time to figure out what you want, what you want, what you want, what you want, what you want, what you want, what you want

Hold this one for me Here comes another Brick by brick it goes on, heavier We need to get those rocks from the soul To build a brand new home I'm working 'gainst the tide, working 'gainst the tide Working again so tired When will I wake up out of this daymare Carrying chunks across I lift and I toss But I know I could sweat some more Pushing it 'til it's over I'm working 'gainst the tide, working 'gainst the tide Working again so tired Ah

Lull 06:10
Far too early, far too soon For the moonlight to assume That it's time to show a cheek Supposin' that I should go to sleep Tell me how well would I rest When all my sheep are out of breath My day is not quite over yet "Go to bed" rings everywhere Lay'n down so they think it's best but tell no one that I'll stay awake Tell me how, how well would I, well would I rest When all of my, all of my sheep, are running out, out of breath Can you keep my secret, my secret safe When I'll when I'll crawl out, out of my nest To do those things no one can guess That don't concern nobody nobody nobody but me Tell me how well would I rest When all my sheep are out of breath

Klickatick 04:47
Klickatick, Klickatock, is it going to be long 'Til I can play with this lickle box I see It's been sittin' on the high shelf There must be a key on the ground look around, look around, look around Tinkling, tick tock Klickatick, Klickatock, I am small and I am stuck I stretch my toes, legs and arms and fingertips I'm the tallest I'll ever be ! How long it's gonna last Klickatick, Klickatock, it's calling me This a lickle box I see How long is it gonna be Klickatick, Klickatock, there's a trick to it's lock

You, you sold, you sold your soul to a man The day (the day you thought), that day The day you thought, there was no, No no no no no No hope oh oh oh oh oh oh When you convinced your heart to die Slowly but Surely A bleeding soul He, he gave me a key (key key key key key) So small yet so heavy But found the lock to fit it You, you sold, your When you convinced your heart to die Slowly but Surely

Dolomite 04:56
I collect ev'ry chance I get Bits and pieces that end up lying around I collect ev'ry chance I get Just in case I'd need a thing it won't be too far out to reach Days go by and smells more like Shitty drains So we can hardly breathe Piling up in our one-room flat I guess today's it's got to end Take take take it away I don't want it, it hittin' my face no more Make make make something new, new you Use your magic tricks 'til it becomes a giant, a giant Give it up to the great great world Let it break into a thousand million pieces They're so small, lodging ev'ry bit of where but nowhere to be found Nowhere to be found.

Slumber 05:32
I somber, soon slumber like, backslide, disappear, up here I'm cold Woh summer feels like a fight, with my paws clinging you're Stronger, they say when , when it don't kill ya Well that's just weird or, I I I'm a soldier, I'll be a shelter You faultered, you'll faulter, is it your fault you've fallen ? Your followers, your followers, your vault, your followers You're followed You breech solitude, you pierce beneath, from under It's creepy, your knees, they freeze Homeless souls of pages They're indiscrete and they delete Just how many of friends you got ? Cos' I have none, d'you mind ? Random contents I'm soaking in comments let me breathe, let me speak I feel so muzzled, oh So strangled, silenced, neutral, I dribble, I'm disabled Foetus of the past I can rest now, now I can, I can rest now, let me live now

about

Wabjie Geneva, Switzerland

Wabjie (pronounced “Wab-gee”) was founded by Swiss improvisers Soraya Berent and Michel Wintsch, then completed by drummer Samuel Jakubec in 2019. Wabjie is the name given to those herbs or mosses that grow, nevertheless, between paving stones, through wall cracks and other unwanted gaps. Sometimes, they blossom into invisible flowers that only a few can see, giving a scent of a lost island. ... more
