Sweet Dreams 03:34
Everybody goes to sleep at night
 Everybody in a different place
, but you always have to go to sleep
 It‘s a rule of nature
 If a person doesn‘t sleep for eleven days
 they die
 So you better have
 ... sweet dreams So once you fall asleep, what happens then?
 What goes on in your mind when you rest?
 Predators never fall asleep
 They stay restless, day and night So keep that in mind

Karrabil 03:17
When I’m with you I start to breath I wonder how it’s gonna feel You make me think that I’m complete Drugs on my mind, this ain’t no creed Woman, oh woman Can’t you see, can’t you see My own inner demons Make me bleed, make me bleed No day without you I can seize I’ve tried, my mind got crystal clear Found fury, hate and too much greed Keep me warm I’m about to freeze Woman, oh woman Can’t you see, can’t you see My own inner demons Make me bleed, make me bleed Keep me warm Keep me warm

So I was cruising down the highway
 I was driving all day and all night, I had to get some sleep
 I drove off the freeway to get some gas
 And the same thing happened to me the night before
 As I was pulling up the station
 I saw three goons standing there
 and I knew, they were up to no good
 One of them approached me swiftly, in a brisk walk
 He came to me, with a look on his face
 and held his hand to his gun
 I thought to myself, „Well, another one of these days“
 So I did what I had to do I shot first
 It all went down like it always does
 Ain’t gonna be stopped that easy
 I live on the highway
 Nothing new down that road for me

Scurry 04:43
It was a cold desert night
 long gone was the burning heat of day
 a lonesome rat took a hike
 an unintended, long-ass journey,
 over dunes and cliffs,
 over rocks and dried-out rivers
 When there‘s no time to prepare
 you end up in places like this
 with nothing but your bare feet to carry you
 Some creature was howling in the distance
 or was it?
 The rat scurried into a hole,
 it knew it needed something to strike back, but there was nothing to be found To be found

Bellpimp 03:03
Are y‘all ready for some bounce?
 Are y‘all ready for some bounce? Bellpimp
 Ballin‘
 Never stops

Georgina, aged 97, passed at 650 p.m. in a nursing home
 She was a kind and loving woman, friend, and grandmother
 She always lived life to the fullest, even in her last moments. Of that, she was quite proud Your hair
 and your smell
 like bloom in spring Your hair
 and your smell
 like bloom in spring
 Your teeth
 and your skin
 dry over years Hector, aged 86, passed away the same time, same place
 He lived many lives and was known as a passionate guy
 When Hector and Georgina met, they knew they had a bond
 of flesh and blood
 and sweat, and love Your hair
 and your smell
 like bloom in spring
 Your teeth
 and your skin
 dry over years Your hair
 and your smell
 like bloom in spring
 Your teeth
 and your skin
 dry over years

This house is on fire
 The floorboards crack
 Scalding tongues at my feet
 I sit and watch the ... Fire! Fire! ... All my problems solved I don’t need them Walking on burned grounds My body’s catching ...
 Fire! Fire! ... My soul is nothing My soul is gone My soul is nothing My soul is ... ... gone!

Hah, you’re sad, and you don’t know it and you blame yourself It’s time to ask yourself what you have to do (what will you do?) Take them all by the hand I know it sounds so mad Speak your mind, speak your mind Speak your mind is what you have to do Take that while Speak your mind Speak your mind Speak your mind Speak your mind Speak your mind Speak your mind Breathe in Breathe out Take your time Sit down Just take a while And speak your mind Breathe in Breathe out You’re here You’re here Stay here With us Take your time

about

What happens when everything and everyone you are indebted to takes on a singular, ominous form and knocks on your door to retrieve your dues?

This is the question that leads the way through Fat Manners’ debut LP. The answer presents itself as a collection of sonic portraits – of potential danger lurking around every corner; of doubt clouding any sense of self-reflection; of despair seeping into every crease of your mind. The bizarreness and absurdity of it all does not take away from its playfulness, however, as the protagonists of each story are yet another game piece in the grand scheme of things.

Marked by the trials of winter lockdown, the duo comprised of Linus Bahr and Thomas Tito set out to consolidate their shared musical experience into a unique musical statement, which was in turn finalized by the collaboration with recording and mixing engineer Sasa Strauss.
