أعزاز عندنا عزاز عزاز عزاز We will feed the gentry cobblestones Your eyes are shut down To me you’re sleeping still We will feed the gentry cobblestones Further back Rational irrational Nada Zero We will feed the gentry cobblestones To feed the gentry cobblestones We take back what we hold dear You said “ease your conscience” And “clear it all up” But then I gouged out my eyes and spitted on everyone And then you came along Ooooohhhhhh We will feed the gentry cobblestones Further back rational irrational Nada Zero Peace Carnival Peace Carnival What you’ve become Peace carnival Further back Peace carnival WE TAKE BACK WHAT WE HOLD DEAR Your eyes are shut down Your mind is stumbling over To me you’re sleeping still I see you walking through the shit You’re truly divine

about

'The Shedding of Skin' is the first album for Use Knife, a new musical outfit in which Stef Heeren, Kwinten Mordijck and Saif Al-Qaissy unleash their love for analog and modular electronic machinery, invoke fierce Arabic percussion grooves and sermon vocal energies.

Use Knife coincides Western underground music with traditional Arab music culture into a genuine melting pot of unique musical current. Their music is composed around propulsive electronic rhythms, ricocheting sequenced melodies and samples and vibrant Arabic drum rhythms.

Use Knife is the trio’s musical vehicle to explore and express hallucinatory freethinking visions to contemporary global living.

Use Knife is collaborating with Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem in My Heart, Hotel2Tango) for the production of their debut full album and with Youniss Ahamad for live visuals and scenography.
