    Portraits is a serie of imaginary stories that emerge from our experience as Hong Kong residents. It embraces contrasting characters... a middle age man, a six year old kid. Each song represents one piece of a big puzzle: the face of what Hong Kong is to us. Life here is a drama of an ancestral life structure struggling with the western post modern crisis. We start with a dissertation about immigration and we close with the face of the ambition. The sound of this EP glides from nostalgic to dramatic moments, all dressed with the strident electronic layers and the glimpse of string sections.

    We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making this album !

Wild Eyes 04:37
Head down, wake up, you're alone, face it don't look back Walk in line, wait your turn, you're a number more in this town Shut up-turn around, shut up-walk around You're a face drowning in this giant mask Wild eyes, wet back You're a prey trapped in this border line Black eyed, round thighs You're the girl hiding under pink lights Stay calm, wake up, you're recalling much, don't cry Shut up- keep hide, shut up-don't breath loud You're a ghost drowning in a giant boat The power of goodbye
2.
Alive 03:12
Every night I wonder what is there? a thousand bones buried in the ground Every single face reminds me how two hands... embrace the ground Didn’t you feel alive? when you fear All the answers are so simple now Afraid of my fears, afraid of myself Would you feel alive? When they’re here
3.
Things could get over You’re the guy who won the respect from others and you got no choice I can wait ‘till you’re under but I’m moving so slow That’s the plot of the story of the guy who once won See the face of this liar it could turn into your voice hold my hands, tear my tired ropes ‘cause this life it’s just wrong I can wait here away in the shadows I can stay here away in the shadows
4.
I want it all, I want to complete my goals, I want it all, I want to complete my promise of... Be owner of all my time, become a complete soul. I'm willing to, I'm playing all alone, With my precious time I wanted all, I want to complete myself, in this silly life. I wanted all, I want to transform the water in wine. I want it all, I want to forgive mistakes and all your failures... Before I could hate them more. I want it all, I want to complete myself alone in my precious time, I want it all, I want to destroy your name and all, all the fake around
