little girl you’ll never hear what your heart whispers in their minds you’ll have to be caring about misters and gents but how could you relate to them you can’t follow you’re standing at the door rough and shallow your war is not declared in the fire burns desire of mankind little boy you need to see what your world’s missing in their eyes you’ll only be straight and convincing how long? till you take off that coat that you're wearing your back is not that strong stop pretending that you don’t even care in the fire burns desire of mankind

Being 02:29
i’m being a woman in a man’s world that’s unhuman i’m being a homo in a straight world that’s uncommon i’m being the infant of a terrorist named Christian i’m being an addict, to consume is not a habit i’m being erratic in a job that’s always static i’m being a stranger in a state that’s filled with danger Отказываюсь - быть. В бедламе нелюдей Отказываюсь - жить. С волками площадей Отказываюсь - выть. and they’re shouting out we come and we come and we go will you let us be we just come and we go we come and we come and we go will you let us be we just come and we go we come and we come and we go will you let us be we just come and we go

Look Around 03:35
the closed doors, the secrets, the future that’s encrypted the screaming, the sorrow, the dreams you’ll never follow the symptoms, the orders, the blameful miscarriage the bleeding, the bleeding, the bleeding have you ever realised what you’ve been doing to your sisters? the shut-ups, the sit-downs, the servant on your pleasure the too slim, the too fat, the you should just behave now the make up, the dresses, the reasons you got married the children, the children, the children have you ever realised what you’ve been doing to your mothers? the saints and the devil, the guilt you need to carry the self defence, the violence, the laws on your conviction the same jobs underpaid, the same lives underestimate the power, the power, the power have you ever realised what you’ve been doing to your daughters?

Tiger 02:40
the river runs without a second thought the river tries to make it on its own shameful stories stream in its liquid mind tainted glories haunting what used to be home this used to be home, used to be home noble desert, painful distance the oldest story water’s wearing red again dare you explain the river runs under wicked star the river tries to hide into the night tired of carrying all the abandoned toys feathers flying beautiful girls holding boys beautiful boys, beautiful girls in the desert painful distance the oldest story water’s wearing red again dare you explain the river floats along with guilty ropes forever called home of the buried hopes

On Sundays 02:41
my sight on your side a creature that features all the episodes dartboards for lonelys cement boxes dropping out of the sky open on sundays, hearts beat clockwise i pay for pleasure in apathy measures you score will i score? i score will you score? low keys abandoned in hard cases random they sink will they sink? they sink will they sink? open on sundays, hearts beat clockwise hearts beat clockwise hearts beat clockwise
6.
Fed Up 03:11
i’m fed up with illusions embracing ways of life symmetrically opposed to myself distorting my health and my mind in a way that makes it forbidden for me to feel human oh no! i just forgot to love myself while i loved you and it seems to be the story of my life i get carried away running wild in the forests of feeling till i end up one day stranger in your foreign land i’m fed up with repeating the same mistakes again and again ignoring to see all the signs driving into dead ends all the way to a psychotic state of mind oh no! i just forgot to love myself while i loved you and it seems to be the story of my life i get carried away like an adventurous child in an endless treasure hunting till i end up one day stranger in your foreign land
7.
Healing 02:35
i’m trying to fix you the best way i can so you fit in all my insecurity and i’m pointing out all the things you do bad like the parents i always had that’s an irony these wounds aren’t healing like that i’ve noticed the ceiling is dripping from cracks you didn’t try to fix me at all see i’m vulnerable to my partner's wishes and you would have the time of your life you would be a king in a kingdom that’s missing and it’s sad to know for a fact you won’t share what’s in your heart go figure these wounds aren’t healing like that i’ve noticed the walls are dripping from cracks i say these wounds aren’t healing like that i’m better off you, you’re better off my heart
8.
Missing Dots 02:46
the wires the dust the unconscious books and the candles shape an excellent form of companion for a heart that is drawn out of fashion the blame the eyes the affectionate lies and the future that mistook a regard for an island and the ferry is always a little too late and the seagulls pretend you're alive you' d give me a million words and i couldn't speak it i' d give you tones and chords and you couldn't sing it the shelter or the bomb find you more appealing connecting all the dots especially the missing the home the less the unbearable self and the birthday when the stars fell apart by their screaming and the doctor suggests i'm too dead for that dress and the meaning depends on its meaning you' d give me a million words and i couldn't speak it i' d give you tones and chords and you couldn't sing it the shelter or the bomb find you more appealing connecting all the dots especially the missing
9.
Not Here 01:38
where would you be if not here? where would you be if not here, dear? where would you be if not here? where would you be if not here, dear? and the sound of the city breaks up the air and the sound of your voice disappears and the sound of the radio isn’t there anymore and the sound of your dog fades away where would you be (where would you be) if not here? (if not here?) where would you be (where would you be) if not here, dear? where would you be, if not here? (if not here?) where would you be if not here, dear?

Kick Off 02:49
start / the talk is fast / the bridge is old / your teeth are shaking strong / made out of bone / your feet stand still / the engine’s running kick off! kick off! kick off! kick off! force / a new mistake / a giant break / a dream that’s trembling claim / the open sea / the right to be / no time for fading kick off! kick off! kick off! kick off!
11.
To Do List 02:38
go stretch your arms the time is right the tide is up go stretch your soul sun sets on mars the water’s warm go stretch your brain it’s hard to go against the grain go search your dreams watch all the movies' uncut scenes go fly a kite a stronger blow a different height go break a leg sum up beginnings distract ends go look for faith empty your pockets forget your name go stretch your time humid reactions vapor nights
12.
i could take you places you know weird pronounced places i know taken from the books that i wrote words and commas painted you whole every once in a while a warm gesture just a second in time a sick pleasure i could even build us a home you could choose which flowers to grow give us a few kids or not feel our footsteps fade on the shore every once in a while a warm gesture just a second in time a sick pleasure every once in a while a quick mention just a second in time a dream session

Love Left 03:01
so you wanna draw a line between fiction and faith in this gravity field could you walk a line straight? if i asked you to shoot a film on your life would you be the director or would you improvise? knowing you’re growing is really annoying you’re looking for passion in endless discussions your options are burning when you’re only craving you’re craving, you’re craving out for love is there any love left? so you wanna hold hands and i wanna know why i believe in second chance, you believe in after life in a blank page we come in a full moon i’m gone don’t you think outer space is just covered with thoughts? knowing we’re growing is really annoying you’re looking for passion in endless discussions your options are burning when you’re only craving you’re craving, you’re craving out for love is there any love left? is there any love right? is there any love left? is there any love right? is there any love left? is there any love left?

about

Post Lovers, the solo project of singer-songwriter Eleni Karageorgou, were introduced to us in the summer of 2017 with the single "Melbourne / Going Anyway", one of the collectable singles of the special project “A Distant Victory Singles Club”

Post Lovers play short indie folk tunes, blending a-bit-too personal songwriting with playful backing vocals, all set in a 90’s background. In their debut self-titled album Karageorgou generously shares her thoughts with the listener providing a resounding female answer to the male-dominated contemporary songwriting. 13 songs succeed one another naturally without revealing their full potential at once. Masterly crafted tunes, fragile memories and feelings have been transformed into songs that deal with the savagery of love, family and human nature.

The album was recorded in the spring of 2018 at Suono studio and was produced by Coti K.

The musicians contributing in Post Lovers are:
Stavros Georgiopoulos – bass, vocals
Danae Eco – keys, percussion, vocals
Danae Palaka - drums
Nikos Tselios – electric guitar, vocals
Eleni Karageorgou – acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keys, vocals

Out on black and green vinyl and digital album via Inner Ear.
