I gave you everything what I've had and all those things which I love and which I pretend look at my empty hands there's nothing there's nothing but I'll keep every piece of you in my head and all the things you gave me and every word you said school is like a time machine without a switch for the future and a seat for a human being it's a kind of a barrage time passed but it's still the same six years of patience with no hope for a change look at our empty hands still nothing there's nothing but I'll keep every piece of you in my head and all the things you gave me and every word you said your heart is like the book of ethics

Monochrom 02:34
Don't cry it's only a sad painting it's only a sad painting from me face a truth it's stolen from the gallery it's stolen from the gallery for you you said that I'm a different person now that I'm a different person now to you so now you've got to dance alone

Still Life 02:46
White has always been the best valances, wooden vase and ancient masks who will escape from this depends on a hole underneath the fence hole underneath the fence I'm just a piece of the still life

Ageless 03:55
I'll finish what you began your memory will never decamp you never vanish like someone else you never vanish like someone else gimme your books, pen, glasses, shirts, jeans, tees, lens, gimme a chance to finish what you began you never vanish like someone else you never vanish like someone else gimme your books, pen, glasses, shirts, jeans, tees, lens, gloves, bed, pillows, lens gimme a chance to finish what you began

When it talks to me it's like a different mode it's like a memory the color you can see white as chalk and blue as a sea those colors you can see colors you can see the name of the city was better than yours the name of the city was better than yours when it talks to me it's like a different mode in this language I can hear in this language of yours you saw the ocean just once in your life you saw the ocean just once in your life you're faraway but we're so close you're faraway but we're so close

Lecture 02:57
It was on the top of my list until the last two years but now I don't know what to think so tell me your definition of love tell me your definition of love when I rest my ear on your chest I can't hear the sound of your heart I've always heard what you thought you made a sign in my mind you're highly educated you've already heard something about it so tell me your definition of love
7.
Break a Law 04:00
It's a moment that I'll never forget when you offered me your cigarette when you offered me your cigarette we were so young maybe seventeen do you know what I mean those tiger hand shackles on your bed brought fantasies into my head and you said: break a law with me I'm not jealous I'm just asking to myself: whose are those pants on the floor? who's in that picture on your wall? who's on the phone? who's on the phone? I didn't want to go back home on my own
8.
Old Wave 03:40
I've never felt like it's all over I've never felt like I'm at the end waiting for old wave I'd love to be someone normal a laborer or a fisherman sitting on the shore with someone by my side or totally alone I hate those college boys those so-called philosophers in my class waiting for old wave
9.
Clean Shield 03:07
When I saw that shape cutting the light light then I held my breath tightly in my lungs my lungs I'd love to have a clean shield but I'm afraid because I'm hesitant

about

After the first CD "We Are No Longer the Same" (AMDISCS, 2010) under the name TABLE, it took three years for two students (Dominik Gajarský, Roman Štětina) of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague to complete the 9-track follow up under the name Palermo. This alias links the aesthetics of the band directly to one of Joseph Beuy's students - the mythical character of painter Blinky Palermo. Three of the albums tracks are symbolically dedicated to three persons: Blinky Palermo, Jacob Lawrence and Ludwig Wittgenstein. The change in alias also comes with a new approach to production. The sound is characterized as brighter and uses a more sophisticated implementation of acoustic instrumentation(bass, guitar, percussions) as opposed to purely electronic techniques. The vocals of Dominik Gajarský reference the late 70´s and early 80´s figures of pop.

"Still Life" is available in a limited edition of 500 pieces on heavy weight 180g 12'' black vinyl.

They were mostly connected with production groups such as A.M.180 COLLECTIVE or PAF. The current name of the band may refer to a gangster ethos, but is rather inspired by a German artist Blinky Palermo. ... more
