X.U.L. - New Single And Lyric Video Out Now

Slovenian ambient/electronic/experimental act X.U.L., a project of multiinstrumentalist Gašper Selko, just released a new single "A Morning Song Of A Cloudspotter". The track is featuring Manca Kozlovič on vocals, she also wrote the lyrics. "A Morning Song Of A Cloudspotter" is the second single from X.U.L.'s upcoming album, A Guide For Lost Travellers, which will be out on the 28th of October. Peter Dimnik is a master of faders, putting everything in balance. Dejvid Knežević's ability to express the music in a visual form is simply stunning.

Gašper comments: "This song is like a reflection of the feelings, emotions which were fighting inside me in the middle of last year. When the idea took place I invited the amazing Manca Kozlovič. I really enjoyed the whole process of writing. Idea about a man who's job is to observe a vast blue sky is connected with Andy Puddicombe's "blue sky analogy", where no matter how cloudy the sky becomes, there is always blue sky on the other side — in the same way that no matter how busy the mind appears, there is always an underlying sense of stillness."

Sometimes I see a man sitting alone and staring at the sky. "What do you see up there?" I asked him one day. "Sit with me young boy", he answered. In fear I ran away. Many years have gone by and this young boy forgot about an old man. After many winters I saw him again sitting in a corn field watching the sky. "Who are you?" I asked. He smiled. "I was waiting for you", he replied. "Join me and look up there. What you will see may surprise you." We watched and I saw mountains, I saw tears, rivers, people walking in the streets. I saw light and I saw darkness. "Is it too late to understand?" I asked him. He pointed his finger up and I saw it. A blue sky. "Magic is not the end goal, nor the starting point. The magic is in the attempt," he said and we smiled. Link
