Sea Song 04:33
See you wring the salt from your fingers, A raft capsized in thee. Unmoored and over and under, Syphon it all and leave. So heave So haul So sea Nothing more How can you fathom these waters, Swallowed and girt by sea? Gently we cradle the coastline - Exhale the grains in me. So ebb So crawl So wait Nothing more aaaaaaaaaa And only us And only her And also hers Also hers Your tears are made of these waters, We two/too dissolve in brine. We'll wash where sky meets the water - Broken and submerged in time. So leave So fall So rest Nothing more The sky confides in me The sky confides in me The sky confides in me The sea The sea The sea

Sky Song 03:34
Go now We'll be travellers, Dreaming of where we'll go - Where will we go? And the children Will be travellers Forgetting the worst Swift like birds Hope like birds She is Another gatherer Feathers for them Soften the blows Till they're home He is Another traveller Taking flight Scars in his eyes He closed her eyes A flock now Of gathered travellers, Stories packed Time will unwrap Hands will unwrap Here now Be still be travelling Feet on the sand Swift like birds Hope like birds

Sun Song 03:10
Do you see the pictures On her window sill? They'll fade there in the sun until Faces packed, She'll look back Without the questions and be still Do you feel the four walls He is building deep? If stones within those hands could speak, They would clap, Don't look back - Build till the children all can sleep. Can you see the sun Can you see the sun ah-uh ah Can you see the sun It shines on every - Can you see the sun I know that you - You can see Look and see See the sun shine See the sun shine On everyone.

Dust 05:03
The ocean's been, The shore has come, But the dessert greets us And paints us as one Wake up, my son, For the sky is red How did it follow - Did it follow to this land? No warning sign, Just a quiet night Only dusty red - No falling metal sky A dust storm Is blowing in Won't you paint my way? A dust storm Is blowing in Fills up all the air The ocean's been, The shore has come, The desert greets us And swallows us up Dust storm Is blowing in Fills up all the air The ocean's been, The shore has come, The desert greets us And swallows us up Oh!

about

Lush, immersive and reflective, The Other Journey EP casts four beautiful songs that will take you across the face of the world and back home again.

The EP's downtempo, global sound is inspired by the personal reflections of families that fled Sri Lanka's civil war in the '90s and '00s and built a new life for themselves in Sydney, Australia. The opening Sea Song tells of a watery voyage and submersion; Sky Song wonders at the children and what they'll remember; Sun Song celebrates the joy of being smitten by a new country; and Dust speaks of acceptance - of finally finding the space to grieve for those who were lost along the way.

Kurinji's debut release also marks the arrival of the remarkable Aimée Falzon – her gorgeous vocals call out across Shakthi's evocative sound beds, wrapping the listener up in a warm, silken embrace.
