Come on! I wanna show you my game (I'll teach you how to play). You'll see, it's easy when you learn it. Yeah! You won't need anything else. You just have to live today. Set your mind free at last and do not get stuck! Don't think too much 'bout tomorrow or it won't let you live in the present. Don't think too much 'bout the past or it won't let you be aware of present. Clear mind, no core, no edges (no circumference), you know, luminous emptiness. Yeah! You won't need anything else. You just have to live today. Set your mind free at last and do not get stuck. Don't think too much 'bout tomorrow or it won't let you live in the present. Don't think too much 'bout the past or it won't let you be aware of present. It's more fun, if you don't know what is coming, I assure you. It's better, if you don't know what I'm thinking, then everything will be new. Don't think too much 'bout tomorrow or it won't let you live in the present. Don't think too much 'bout the past or it won't let you be aware of present.

The Boombox 03:36
Magic past times Young boys, young girls Doing their thing Watching movies Dancing to the music Dreaming of an exciting future Where love will save all of us (all of us) They were so so rebel They didn’t have to worry They just wanted to spin on the dance floor They didn’t need anything else Rollerskating Under the summer sun Always laughing Drinking soda They were friends forever Singing songs from their favourite records Love will save all of us (all of us) Love will save all of us (all of us) Love will save all of us (all of us) Dancing to the music Dreaming of an exciting future Where love will save all of us (all of us) They were so so rebel They didn’t have any worry They just wanted to spin on the dance floor They didn’t need anything else They used to listen to some good music on the boombox at night And now, they would do anything just to get back in time

You’re always sad and you don’t even want to know good news. I did my best but this was not enough to change your mood. You long for the immensity of the sea. You have to learn you can’t understand what you can’t see. Call me when you want. Call me when you need me. You are not alone. Why don’t you just believe me? Tell me what you want. Tell me if you need me. You’re not the only one. Why are you playing the victim? Please forget! Erosion can erase what’s written in stone. I want you to know we are all part of a whole. This makes you strong. You long for the immensity of the sea. You have to learn you can’t understand what you can’t see. Call me when you want. Call me when you need me. You are not alone. Why don’t you just believe me? Tell me what you want. Tell me if you need me. You’re not the only one. Why are you playing the victim? Call me when you want. Call me when you need me. Written in stone. Tell me what you want. Tell me if you need me. Written in stone. Call me when you want. Call me when you need me.

I don’t need a single place to live. I’ll travel through the worlds with you Until I find what I’m looking for But I won’t stay anywhere for good. If I find you beyond the edge, My home will be where you are We’ll ascend to the next level. As the dawn turns into day, You know nothing lasts forever but The galaxy, which is still in us, remains. If I find you beyond the edge My home will be where you are I will find you beyond the edge My home is where you are

My skin is harder than you think I’m in a place that you’ll never know Everything you touch I don't need What you see, I no longer look at. I'm here, you're there You want But you can’t Break my heart Yours is so black You just want to tear me apart But I am somewhere else You move your hands and your mouth And I go in other direction You teach morality and live a perfect life or that’s what you think I create the life I want to not obey empty perfection I'm here, you're there You want ‘Cause you have Black heart Yours is so sad You just want to tear me apart But I am somewhere else You move your hands and your mouth And I go in other direction You just want to tear me apart But I am somewhere else You move your hands and your mouth And I go in other direction You can’t Break my heart Yours is so black

Time is now! He read the runes. But he feels that he doesn’t fit. His head goes on and on. On the cards, he can see a wheel. He took a card He chose a future He doesn’t look back It’s his nature Ready or not... Lots of voices and fears in a world that has lost its king. He digs a deep hole in him. In the dark, he’ll find his fortune. Silence is what he seeks. He wants you to try walking on his shoes. He took a card He chose a future He doesn’t look back It’s his nature Ready or not... He’s not a hero nor pretend to be. He wants to know where his place is. He never sleeps but he always dreams. Just feeling safe is what he needs.

Telekinesis 03:33
I will never touch you, you will never find out but I’ll draw you to me using my mind Like a sorceress I will bewitch you I’m not a demon Demons are within you I have already Forgiven myself Now it’s your turn Make the ghosts disappear I will never touch you, you will never find out but I’ll draw you to me using my mind Like a sorceress I will bewitch you I’m not a demon Demons are within you I have already Forgiven myself Now it’s your turn Make the ghosts disappear I will never touch you, you will never find out but I’ll draw you to me using my mind I won’t say you nothing You won’t even notice but I’ll draw you to me Just with my mind

Looking back at the years we had, we had good times and some bad. We only lived the present and we tried to do our best. Remember when we used to watch movies like The Breakfast Club. I was dying to kiss you. Now, I can’t wait any more. Just you and me in the vastness, babe, is what we need in an uncertain world. The future is right here. Every time I see your face, we go back to Christmas time. So, please, just hold me tight. (Chorus) Back to Christmas time It’s always here and now Back to Christmas time Sometimes we go through a wormhole but we are still in the same place. I don’t care about it if I can be with you. We will finally meet, tonight. We can touch and hug again. I can not wait for it. At last, I will feel safe. Just you and me in the vastness, babe, is what we need in an uncertain world. The future is right here. Every time I see your face, we go back to Christmas time. So, please, just hold me tight. (Chorus) Back to Christmas time It’s always here and now Back to Christmas time

about

Past Times is the brand new album by Barcelona based duo Oblique, which drew inspiration from 80’s films like “Secret Admirer” or “Electric Dreams” whilst also reminding us that we must be aware of the present moment in a fully conscious way to not miss a thing.

Displaying a huge arsenal of analog synths and drum machines, together with Sonja’s vocals and long hours watching 80s films, the band feeds on nostalgia and spreads out the joy of a decade that was a cultural milestone of an entire generation.

The album consists of two parts. In the first one, tracks like Luminous Emptiness, The Boombox and Written in Stone take us back to the sounds of the 80s, full of lights and end of term balls. In the second one, Black Heart, Telekinesis or The Wheel of Fortune Card take us into the world of cult movie “Labyrinth”, which transports us towards a more introspective vision while addressing the listener to discover the inner self.

The 10 tracks on the album will portray Oblique’s core idea and feeling behind the album: to go back in time to remember that first kiss, that first dance or the awakening of a first love.

Past Times will make you see far beyond while you dance and dream.
