about

The second single release «Toxic Blood» from the upcoming record «Burnt Sugar» by the Zurich based band District Five evidently portrays their great love for hip hop and new soul. The dreamy-pensive song that towards the end takes a gloomy turn tells no weedy tale of happiness but opens up the casket to the darker moments in life, without trying to find a solution in the hole: “I feel doomed, doomed, doomed, I don’t bloom, bloom, bloom”. We are left with only one thing to do: listen. To the track and to oneself.

lyrics

toxic blood is under my skin
traveling around and taking me for a spin
i feel doomed doomed
i don't bloom bloom

my body is tired, dirty, i don‘t know
it‘s been like this since a 100 years ago
i peel off my skin and start a new
beginning where i‘ve left it with you

about

District Five Zürich, Switzerland

District Five break through generational boundaries. Math-rock, post punk, jazz, electronica, film music: those are corner stones of a new sound through which the four visionaries from Zurich are leaving gridlocked genres behind and begin to build their own avantgarde.
It’s a process of finding new liberties and at the same time it sets an example for diversity as well as long-lasting friendship.
