by IKAN HYU

supported by

Negative White Unstoppable and uncompromising—Switzerland's duo Ikan Hyu released their debut album, ❁OASIS❁, last November. Now, they're on their way to another EP, with FLAP being a first impression: a split-second realisation of potential futures flashing by and desires being wiped out within the blink of an eye. Ikan Hyu's sound, meanwhile, remains an indescribable yet incredibly intriguing blend.

about

FLAP is a split-second romance, a song about possible futures flashing by and emerging desires snuffed out within the blink of an eye. 
Exhilarating and dark, IKAN HYU’s new single is the product of an intense one-day-session in which the duo worked together with SYRIX (producer) and Dominic Wendl (co-writer). The song was recorded last year in Vienna and is part of an upcoming EP, the first after the release of IKAN HYU’s debut album ❁OASIS❁ last November.
FLAP combines different musical influences, breaks with genres and is – true to the IKAN-style – unpigeonholeable. 
This potent mixture leaves us with a nervous tingle and fills our stomachs with tied up butterflies…

lyrics

I breathe you in
Into my lungs
So you can see
Where I am from

I let you in
Baby don't speak
Show me your hand
So I can read

And I can see our future, future love
Is slippin’ through our hands
Oh can you feel our future, future love
Is runnin' down like sand

(And I can see our future, future love)
(Is slippin’ through our hands)
(Oh can you feel our future, future love)
(Is runnin' down like sand)

You taste my skin
It's bittersweet
MDMA
Not what you need

You let me in
But I won't lie
Cuz baby I got tied up butterflies inside

And I can see our future, future love
Is slippin' through our hands
Oh can u feel our future, future love
Is runnin' down like sand
