Track By Tracks: Blu Mamuth - Ka Ora! (2025)

In a world where the connection with our instincts has weakened so much that we can no longer feel any emotions, Blu Mamuth wants to talk about a journey back to the most primitive and spiritual parts of ourselves, abandoning the body and entering into the spirit of animals, and let them guide us to a better consciousness of being.

The album starts with a different vision of the "Golem": a ritual chant that asks to the dust to be born and be free of becoming whatever it wants to be. It's not anymore an invocation of a salvific creature slave of other people's will, but our own will to be free.

In Piccolo this split happens: the body, moving away from the soul, is left alone to dance like a puppet and search for tracks of prehistoric animals to find its real home, while the soul, free and transparent, asks if anyone has ever seen the body, and if they meet it to take care of it and tell it that they will meet again when the right time will come. Like a message in a bottle.

Smetterling talks about this soul, wandering around, blowing out her scary human part, and hiding under the water waiting for the kiss of a moth that sucks away their nightmares. "Free me!" is what the soul asks of her, finally putting on its wings and flying away.

Hunter talks about the time when one can free oneself from the ghosts of dead animals enclosed in human consciousness, and can finally be oneself, both prey or hunter, without light and shadow, without anger, without roles, without guilt, with the wisdom of the Mamuths and all the ancient creatures that do not know good and evil.

In fact, in Orologi the duality of identity is proposed again: if war is something we have inside what will we choose to do? To be snakes waiting to bite under the sand or to be water and voice and song? Infinite time, strength, and light or the poison that creeps in and that we carry inside somewhere like a burden?

Metropolis is a cut, a slow wave to which anyone should abandon himself, running away from the historic chaos of human structures.

Ultima is connected to time and light, the time of change, to become water; the transformation of the body into something else. The figures are particular, a rainfall of fish that enters an open mouth and transforms that same body into something else by swimming inside it. time and dust and light. In a free and fluid cycle that expands everywhere. The time of becoming time itself. Cocoon.
