This is the physical version of our album Liquid Lines which we recorded in two versions. An album in two colours, two moods, two captured moments of expression. The orange version is more energetic and outgoing while the violet version is rather calm and organic. You'll only be able to listen to both versions on CD or vinyl. There will only be a 10 track compilation available online on all streaming platforms.

THE FULL 20TRACK TWO VERSION EXPERIENCE WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE ON OUR PHYSICAL RELEASES

--- This is my blue hour This is my sky Or is it heaven? I’m searching for the blue light This is my blue hour This is my sky Or is it heaven? I’m searching for the blue light For the blue flower That stands for love and desire What am I longing for? Will it take me higher? Higher, higher I am a blue bird And I have the blue sometimes So I sing about love Sometimes I see the sea from above Higher, higher, higher, higher Queen of the wind Sapphire eyes She puffs and I rise And I rise Higher, higher, higher, higher This is my blue hour This is my sky Or is it heaven? I’m searching for the blue light searching for the blue light ---

3.	Préférences (Orange Version) 02:59	lyrics	buy track
Tu préfères la nuit, les aventures dans la pluie Et si je m’ennuie, tu me dis, allons-y, allons-y Une journée te semble être une promesse Pleine de joie et de liberté Comme dans un trésor de perles brillantes Sans peur tu te jettes au dedans Je t’admire pour ton intrépidité, Quand tu racontes tes histoires de tes nouvelles connaissances Je t’écoute, je t’écoute Et sans peur tu te jettes aus dedans Tu préfères la nuit, les aventures dans la pluie Et si je m’ennuie, tu me dis, allons-y, allons-y
4.	Texture Of Words (Violet Version) 05:03	lyrics	buy track
___ The texture of words, unspoken words It hurts on and under my skin A ceiled mouth, it can not give but it can’t take either And we starve of a loss of words The texture of words, unspoken words It feels cold on and under my skin The things you don’t say, they hover above And they build up, they build up And we starve of a loss of words ___

Liquid lines dazzle my eyes I can see through my hands And all I feel is water Liquid lines cleansing my mind I can see clearly now My thoughts are pouring water Different worlds passing by I can see clearly now I’m really under water (water, water) Apnea dive blue sight I can hear through my lungs And all I need is water Water, water, water, water Ooh Ooh Under water Under water Under water Under water Ooh Liquid lines dazzle my eyes I can see clearly now My thoughts are pouring water

8.	Bleu (Violet Version) 02:45	lyrics	buy track
Le roi se lève sous Le soleil turquoise Un rêve outremer Un souvenir primaire Dans mes draps d'azur Ton odeur d'un jour Ô le bruit de ton sourire Mon esprit devient sourd J'en ai plein le cœur Je les étale ici De si intenses bonheurs Assez forts pour toute la vie Les apportant sans crier gare Elle devient toujours plus belle Chacun déversant son art Ouvrir des routes parallèles Aussi intense qu'électrique Il faut écouter ces maux Parfois des coups, des piques En font grandir sous la peau J'en ai plein le cœur Je les étale ici De si intenses bonheurs Assez forts pour toute la vie Les apportant sans crier gare Elle devient toujours plus belle Chacun déversant son art Ouvrir des routes parallèles Les reflets dans les yeux Des filles et des garçons Ne peuvent être vairons Mais saphir amoureux Dans mes draps d'azur Ton odeur d'un jour Ô le bruit de ton sourire Mon esprit devient sourd J'en ai plein le cœur Je les étale ici De si intenses bonheurs Assez forts pour toute la vie Les apportant sans crier gare Elle devient toujours plus belle Chacun déversant son art Ouvrir des routes parallèles
9.	Go Go Go (Orange Version) 03:12	lyrics	buy track
--- If you feel like leaving you can tell me so Sophie ist the last one to say no to a chill That’s her way of saying yes to any group or family Susana is creating space for everyone to join Blue hair and openness are just a few of her power chords Jules is the only one that can make anything from scratch She’s hypnotizing animals with just a few words Anna is the first one to laugh and share a thought That is why she is connecting just in one second When you feel like she’s overstepping When you feel like I’m overpraising When you feel like she’s taking up too much space, too much space, too much space, too much space for you Woman you don’t need him to guide you Woman you don’t need him beside you Woman you can make it alone So if you feel like leaving you can tell him so I am the first one to choose how to live my life That is how i’m working, playing, loving and creating When you feel like I’m overstepping When you feel like they’re overpraising When you feel like I’m taking up too much space, too much space, too much space, too much space for you For you So if you feel like leaving you can tell me so! ---

Floating, Floating Floating, Floating My heart is floating My heart is floating Floating My heart is floating My heart is floating gently in your hands My heart is floating gently in your mind And it’s red like my blood Your hands as blue as the sea And my heart is red as fire and your hands warm and blue as the sea Floating slowly Floating (Floating) in your mind Flow Flow Flow

about

Olicía is the band of Fama M’Boup and Anna-Lucia Rupp. They live in Berlin and Copenhagen, Denmark, and share a common base in Dresden, Germany, where they met studying music, founding their own label o-cetera soon after. The two are also members of Sophie Hunger’s current band supporting her latest album “Halluzinationen”.

“Liquid Lines”, the debut album by Olicía, arrives after two Eps in 2018 and 2019 and countless concerts in the last years. It was recorded with Miles Deiaco at Monoton Studio, Berlin, and will be released on October 1st 2021. Guests on “Liquid Lines” include experimental French harpist Laura Perrudin, Drummer Demian Kappenstein (ÄTNA), and the songwriter and bass clarinetist Wencke Wollny (Karl die Große).

“Liquid Lines” is going to take on two different forms. There will be a regular 10-track digital album on streaming services, whereas the physical album is going to be a 20 track/two disk affair: each Lp or Cd functioning as an entirely different version of the album with regards to lyrics, instrumentation, grooves, collaboration partners, or even language. It makes for a listening experience that is quite unique: Immersing oneself in the dreamlike variations of these songs as the two women are emphasizing, obscuring or replacing certain elements, oftentimes actually veering off into something completely new and unexpected. That’s how Fama and Anna-Lucia would like this album to be understood - as a reflection on the liquid lines of demarcation of what constitutes a song. And - in the grander scheme - the infinite possibilities that constitute art and life itself. The “Liquid Lines” of tweaking and amending, bending and adjusting, of thinking, unthinking, and rethinking the same thing.
