"Nazza" Poems by Slippery Elm. (Includes Milky Ways lyrics)

NAZZA
Published in 2011 on the Summer Solstice, Nazza is Slippery Elm’s first book of poetry. With a deep sense for rhythm and the musicality of words, Slippery builds upon the inspirited, extemporaneous poetry of oral traditions, delivering outpourings of desire, magic, and passion, that make stars spin and flowers bloom. Floating under the Snake of Time, disappearing into otherworldly puddles, pan-piping in thunderstorms, facilitating weddings in old growth forests, blockading oil-tankers with guardians of the sea, feeling the Itch of poison industry canal-side in Amsterdam, voicing tree-house desire, inking your soul with a love tattoo, summoning the trees, singing the Songs of Crocus & song-of-songs passion outbursts through lion eyes, meditating ... more

about

Milky Ways is a revelation—an electric dream, and a succulent curse. It is the shared artistic vision of two Vancouver hip-hoppers questing to realize the dark spirit of space-lust, also known as nazza, in sound form. Celebrated producer & musician—AstroLogical, and emcee & published poet—Slippery Elm, have ventured deep into the black waters of their unconscious and emerged with a new jazz & poetry that is at once otherworldly, insurgent, and uniquely their own. Unlike previous creative endeavours as members of Vancouver hip-hop super-group Elekwent Folk, for this project Astro and Slippery have navigated away from their usual eclectic and carefree sound in favour of a highly stylized, focused, and specific vibe that permeates the entire album—start to finish. Twisting psychedelic word-images wrap nimbly around cosmic cushiony beats oozing with space-lust and the milk of all worlds, in a dazzling display of musicianship and lyricism. Here are two masters of their art who shaped and polished the rough coal of these songs till they glowed like a supernatural diamond. And they’re not alone; the album features collaborations with Vancouver vocalist Claire Mortifee, and saxophone player/editor of White Hot Magazine of Contemporary Art—Noah Becker.

If what they’re saying is true, and Astro really did produce this album in a two day beat-making binge, and Slippery really did get kidnapped from out his window by a giant black bird while enjoying a morning wake and bake, and if lightning really did breakout in Vancouver during the recording of this album—mid take, the result is a musical masterpiece designed to be enjoyed while on mushrooms, in a dark forest, or while sipping absinthe from a silver goblet in a leather chair by fireside. Regardless, whatever your listening preference, play this album at night.
