"Into Quito"

previously unreleased

Leisure High is an all-time obsession for all times.

Group members: Blevin Blectum (Blectum From Blechdom) and Eugene S Robinson (Oxbow). Current location: Bi-Coastal, USA.

Famously known as one half of the recently reformed and reunited groundbreaking digital duo Blectum From Blechdom, recipients of the 2001 Ars Electronica Award of Distinction in Digital Musics, Blevin Blectum's Gular Flutter was one of The Wire's top 15 electronica records of 2008.

Infamously known as one quarter of the dionysian quartet Oxbow, whose 2007 The Narcotic Story earned a Grammy Best Producer nomination, Eugene S Robinson sings.

Leisure High, an extendedly louche product of burnt orange, menthol and brushed metal, summers in Portugal, winters in Gstadd and lounges just about everywhere it can.

"Into Quito" was written and produced by Bevin Kelley/Blevin Blectum and Eugene S Robinson. It was mastered by Thomas Dimuzio at Gench Studios in San Francisco.

Lyrics:

One Two Three (x5)


And the cigarette holder

that makes you wonder

about the 1 2 3 note samba

with the thrust and

a 2 score must

and a bar with a tab

as long as your... arm

They know us around here

that much... is clear

is totally clear

so take the transport

into Quito

bring the netting, the oils

and something for the mosquitos

And the quinine is great this year

the quinine is just great this year

Blevin Blectum

Eugene S Robinson
