Beyond Life 05:33
A flood of undefined emotion I get swallowed by predefined tokens Every day since has rendered me breathless I'm taken with the shared darkness, subtlety mixing Every day since has rendered me breathless Spiraling down in awe for the grand universe I'm small, but I conquered my part A hollow man fills his heart with lies, and I forgot them from the start We built this world together, but I'm not really here I'm here to watch you conquer or fall I'm the fog and the stars This dark mix of bright universe Every day since has rendered me breathless The darkest corners of our world lives within me Every day since has rendered me breathless

In Drowning 04:40
Down a path in the forest, when my heart pounded with madness I've seen the fury of the world Lost, in its aching Frozen moments of the heart, take a breath Unspoken moments of my black art and all that's been lost in a breath I take comfort when I drown When I get stripped of all that's inside me When only dark waters fill my lungs The shadows are simple, never lost in the arbitrary They release me I take comfort when I'm drowning When I'm drowning They release me
3.
Empty your lungs Let me swallow your deepest As nature built us, in euphoric singularly Empty your lungs Let me eat what's left of your dark desires I drink the water of life that flows within us I will rise to the raw, the naked and the lust I eat your skin while you empty your lungs The touch of mankind We unite in this singular meaning of life The woods plea me to take you in, come in I will tear you apart, and make you whole I eat your flesh and feed your dark desires You will become me As every part of you remains within me I thrust down your lungs to fill you with my dark desires my desires, dark desires

In Void 05:28
Everything is a void, outside my window A black churning fog inside my kingdom We live here together, in a united sphere Ambivalent fear Ambivalent fear I found my heart on a hilltop A great crop, of my soul The rain falling, then the petrichor Endless days dawning, but you yearn for more An empty field meets the fog a thick forest shields, a dying star outside my window, in the blackest of hearts Separated by the window I don't see what I don't hear Distance keeps our mind clear, of what my sane mind fears I am the dictator of my mind but I am in a prison camp Everything is a void Outside my window
6.
Dead Soil 05:57
A distorted dream, of ancient sorrow Hiding a wandering soul, touching the barrow Hiding a secret soul In a plain, of a dying field Losing your soul, in the soil, of a dying field Long I’ve been wandering Long I’ve been walking Through these plains Finding nothing But a dying soil Many were my memories Many were my heartful fears Many were my dreams out loud from the start Oh my dreams Oh my dreams They died, in the soil That I found In the soil Dead from the start I could have seen the memories I could have seen The power of the ancient world But I didn’t
7.
Beyond Death 04:10
I get suspended in dreams, every waking moment Fumbling in the obscene, each awaken slumber My path has not been laid yet, but somewhere is a door - that I will stumble upon But what if I don't When I'm suspended in dreams, every waking moment Fumbling in extremes, wishing for my encumbrance
8.
In Thunder 04:16
Thunder roar, anxiety of heavens Rain still pours in end, and beginning Skies of speech, how I hear you Come close now, take me These distorted sounds, of life it echoes A never ending choir dwells from within us An unsettling chaos written in burning skies An awe for what was, a fear we lost, to my inner burden

about

The duo from Västra Götaland, Sweden are musically described as black ambient, the band's multi instrumentalists Êlea and Ândris aim to create music as an accompaniment to introspection.

NOÊTA takes its name from ancient Greek philosophy and describes the notion of universal thoughts or ideas, that exist without someone (or something) thinking them. The duo's wonderfully elusive sound is fascinating and compelling, yet difficult to categorize. This is music as mood; poetic, dark, ambient landscapes laid out with vintage equipment and Êlea's enticing, mesmerizing voice.

"Beyond Life and Death" follows NOÊTA's 2015 EP, psykhe, a four song stunner hailed as "barren and extremely beautiful" and "a stunning debut". The new album is centered on themes of seeking for structure and meaning, a longing for answers and the dark resignation brought by the incapacity to find them, directly focusing on feelings brought on by the grandness of the universe and how powerless we are to the powers of nature.

Many battle with emotions such as wonder, anxiety and introspection on a daily basis and the members of NOÊTA are no different. "Beyond Life and Death" is conceptually divided into three parts: the meeting with emotion as the meaning of life, a cold resignation and anxiety, and the horror-filled respect for a hard nature without bounds. If these themes sound heavy, it's because they are.
