Exosphere 04:29
I look up to the ceiling light As I walk down the corridor I'm twisted inside Having all my strings detached Separated and sealed tight By The closing hatch Pinned down in my seat I can hardly move my head My heartbeat is skipping My doubts remain unsaid The seconds keep counting Way down to the end Memories are flashing up Will I see you again? Ignition, release, lift off The engine is rumbling My sight is impaired All lights are in frenzy As we shoot through the air The voices on the radio Are drowning in the roar Memories are flashing up Will I see you no more? And the sky turns from blue to black The water line in sight Long for the first breath The water line in sight Long for the first breath

Passage 03:26
Steering down the starlit lane I still push forward I'm collecting dust along the way Artificial lights dictate The passage between sleep and wake I try To remind me how it used to be like But every mile I leave behind Is waking up a ghost inside And every mile Brings me closer to the home I long for Those bleak walls, that frame that place Are rendered in cushion Appear as if they're pleased to take me in The emptyness outside the panes Is echoing into my head In vain To remind me how it used to be like But every mile I leave behind Is waking up a ghost inside And every mile Brings me closer to the home I long for
3.
Split Second 04:05
Coming close Cautiously I know if my hands would tremble I would fall Holding on Concentrate In a burst a massive force takes me away Now I'm finding myself on ground All I had is torn Weary eyes The air is haze I feel down my calves if they are still at place Try to shout Aspirate I am waiting desperately to ease my pain Now I'm finding myself on ground All I had is torn But I can't figure out what I have done Now I'm finding myself on ground All I had is torn
4.
Constant light and constant speed Keeps in a mellow stream Distant, numb, unconsciously Slowly falling all apart Humming sound from underneath I listen and I stop to breathe A perfect match of sound and mind Gravitation comes in line Counting fingers One by one, again and again My reflection in here Won’t stay.. My morphine mind When will it start unwind My morphine mind Humming sound from underneath I listen and I start to breathe Blinding light is all I find Gravitation is in line Counting fingers One by one, again and again My reflection in here Won’t stay.. My morphine mind When will it start unwind Can't see whats all behind My morphine mind

Homebound 04:19
Returning from a foreign system A trillion miles away from here Still trying to call the ground control team When I reach the atmosphere As I'm descending I see winter Ash and rubble comes in sight All the trees are merely bone frames Not a single soul to find In the great desire of mankind We headed out to Centauri To explore another space for life I'm walking through the piles of concrete Which once were buildings scraping skies The dust has settled on the corn fields Acrid vapors bite my eyes Feeling dizzy, I keep moving Questions burning bright inside I gather all the notes and records Looking for a piece of light In the great desire of mankind We headed out to Centauri To explore another space for life And in the distant siren call It comes into my head That none of us is any more Than a chimp in apparel I'm nauseous with my head still aching From the artificial sleep Visions blending with my senses As I'm continuing to seek And in the distant siren call It comes into my head That none of us is any more Than a chimp in apparel

I Don't Mind 03:35
I feel, I've got to be true And I don't bear to hide What I'm feeling inside I know, I should come up to you There ain't much more to say As it's all in our way I don't mind I don't care No I won't come to your place - anymore - no I won't I don't mind I don't care No I won't go easy on you - no I won't You urge, there's more to hash out But it's long gone astray Now it's phony and vain You plead for we work it all out But the choices are made And for turns it's too late I don't mind I don't care No I won't come to your place - anymore - no I won't I don't mind I don't care No I won't go easy on you - no I won't
7.
Diamonds 03:47
Boiling Heat Still waiting for the promised rain to come Caramel drops It never spoils your face Exoskeleton weapon on your lower limb Nevermind gold But diamonds, diamonds are forever! Soviet launch At Cape Canaveral Strange ways and Self-destructing messages Distracted by the color-TV Nevermind gold A flashback in black and white Chasing the taillights As you hold your breath You’re over your head And you want to be higher You're out in the red And out of my reach
8.
Consequences 03:45
The consequences Of what we've done Have spoiled our conscience And proved us wrong We keep on smiling With a smile that has been blinding Is that all we've got? And we keep silent In a silence that is strident Is that all we've got? The indecision That takes the lead Has caged our ambition Restrained the feet We keep on smiling With a smile that has been blinding Is that all we've got? And we keep silent In a silence that is strident Is that all we've got? Like going round in circles In worn out shoes It feels indifferent Which way to choose Like grains in hour glasses We're going through the straits To find ourself in places We strived to get away
9.
Everything that's out there Keeps turning upside down And while I'm watching numbly I'm pulled back by the sound As long as those misleading Crooked words I'm forced to hear Keep telling me what I'm supposed to do It never gets as clear Ah Won't you let me Walk on blind Ah Won't you let me Miss the signs Whatever they are saying They're saying it for good When I start to wonder I wonder, if I should All honesty's been taken With all their ruthless force The fragments are mistaken Can't tell neither true nor false Ah Won't you let me Walk on blind Ah Won't you let me Miss the signs It's all the same now
10.
Tell me something I don't know What is not obvious to me I pick up a dice to throw With all sides the same Like a force that keeps me low I've got nothing left to say I feel chemicals unfold In my veins Tell me something I don't know I'd wait as long as it takes Inside, the clockwork is pacing slow But the pulse remains What if we give up the praise To become the praised instead I can see it in your face In my head I will call to you And I will stay ahead We won't pass anytime soon I will call to you We are the last to join All we keep holding on We got it all - we got it all We got it all in our head We got it all - we got it all We got it all in our head We got it all - we got it all We got it all in our head

about

You are returning home from a interstellar journey and well.. no one’s there anymore?

Bru Baker Is Alive – five musicians from Bremen - tell you this story with three (!) guitars, a melodic bass and pushing drums in a mixture of Alternative, Indie and Garage Rock.

Ambiguous lyrics and spacy sounds are embedded in dense arrangements with riffs that trigger your feet.

In 2019 they home-recorded and published their first EP "At His Own Funeral". Now, In February 2023 they went into the recording studio to produce their debut-full-length album "Exosphere". The album not only launches with a five-song-space-journey-suite, but also boosts some of their first songs into higher spheres.
