The Old Gods of New Berlin

by Johnny Hollow

supported by

Lincoln McCormick If all was right with the world, this band would be on every movie soundtrack. Glad to see they're still innovating and evolving. Favorite track: The Wild Hunt.

Dionysos Nyktelios If anything was lacking in Johnny Hollow's discography, was an album that worked as a whole as well as the individual tracks did.

This EP covers that gap with a beautiful yet disturbing collection of songs wrapped in a cohesive style and theme, twisting some characteristic elements of their music to make the experience consistent. Favorite track: Her Infinite Jest.

franklynray A beautiful EP with amazing art to compliment it. I'm so happy I pre-ordered it when it came out and I still enjoy it to this day! Favorite track: The Wild Hunt.

nic372 The Wild Hunt and Her Infinite Jest
are wonderful songs. Favorite track: Her Infinite Jest.

1.	I, Goblin 03:38	lyrics	buy track
You wanted to breathe for a moment Wandered out in the breeze Exploding with feeling Seized by the night til it ended In torment And the weight of the world sucked you in again It’s just a pill... (Everything is just fine, it’s glorious! Nothing could ever go wrong…) Not again, goblin! Not again!
2.	The Wild Hunt 04:01	lyrics	buy track
Flooded by flickering blue at the bus stop Garbage on the ground starts to tremble on the sidewalk Now I’m all alone, no power on the phone Something strange in the wind in New Berlin Fear the Wild Hunt Don’t look now ‘Cause they’re coming around again Tenderly they look right at me I try to look away, but it’s too late Ground starts to tremble as they rip through the night There are gods in the ally cracking pavement in the moonlight The buildings start to shake, and everybody wakes As the hunt moves into New Berlin Tenderly, they look right at me I try to look away, but it’s too late What a strange procession moving through the avenue My breath stops short, paralyzed by the view There’s a warning in their stare, an ominous prayer As the hunt moves through in New Berlin Fear the Wild Hunt Don’t look now ‘Cause they’re coming around again
3.	Her Infinite Jest 04:20	lyrics	buy track
very human has a home I used to have one Every human has a love I used to be one Those memories are cherished Until they’re all gone Their choices are their own Until they have none I used to be human… (I am just a passenger Ascending into lunacy) I am the night My arms can pull the ocean wide And my hands tug at the marrow Of every living thing I am the night, I am the tide I am the light of the moon I spiral as the night begins to bloom… I used to be human.
4.	Nothing Can Stop Ileana 03:33 video	lyrics	buy track
Fathers and lovers make lumbering shadows (Don’t look away, don’t you look away) Their frail ambitions can lead to the gallows But she’s not afraid Oh, Ileana! A tangle of traps set to mangle her pride (Don’t look away, don’t you look away) But scoundrels and monsters cannot break her stride She’s not afraid Oh, Ileana! Nothing can stop Ileana… A skip and a hop in a graceful charade Dodging the dark with a pas de bourre She’s not afraid Oh, Ileana! Nothing can stop Ileana…
5.	My Lovely Jinn 04:11	lyrics	buy track
When I was a boy... way back in 1983... ...and the television was my holy spirit It showered me with sitcom moralities... That were plumed with technicolour commandments: Get a girl Get a house Have a family And if it all goes wrong? Do it again. That... was the televised truth. The funny thing about truth... It’s twisty. It’s.... malleable. It’s as real as a mirage inside of a dream. One day when the holy spirit wasn’t looking... ...a smoky silhouette approached me ...and I inhaled, desperate for the scent of him. It was a clandestine moment... His eyes, like fire... I wanted to burn. And the silence cracks As the angels rage And the wolves howl As my lovely jinn sings I wanted to burn… I am the flame You are the heat Let’s burn together Inside the beat

about

OnCe uPoN a TiMe... and with those four words, Johnny Hollow takes you on a journey through TIME and PLACE in their very first CONCEPT EP which explores strange bits of folklore from around the globe. Each of the five songs is inspired by a character from an ancient story and delves into how they may resonate in our modern world.

The more I listen to this the more trouble I have choosing favorite track. I also still think this is witchhouse. Also I think your cover art is incredibly good. But I don't think it is best of your art anymore. I'll switch to Crush for a moment. jesu82

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
