Keep in touch Whenever you like I'm here Don't know for how long I will stretch my reach Push us out It's fine if you're fine It's understood You're pressed for time Pressed for time Are you pressed for time Tied with all hope Breaks like a knot See to it then Prevent some discontent Enlightened and enraged My arguments around my waist So I can never Just say whatever Attempt to disengage This whole event was clearly staged Though I could never I'll say whatever again You joined the masquerade Your first reaction was to blame Boy you should never Say you're too clever The living room in pain Inject relief into your brain So you can never Just say whatever again

Taxes 05:49
A while ago The sun was burning Like you do Most of my thoughts Evaporate like morning dew I want you to know Repeat I Believe I'm in Texas I I think I'm in Texas I Will say I'm from Texas But I Ignore that it's Texas I Feel like I'm in Texas I Believe I'm from Texas Sun turns red and Dives in fiery skies I'll be back Getting up again just to talk to the experts Staring at the wall just to test my reflexes Touching everything just to feel all the textures Waiting by the door for delivery express Waking up again just to do all my stretches But whatever I do I forget I'm in Texas So I Feel like I'm in Texas But I Ignore that it's Texas You know it's on fire Blueberry and pines Tall, blue-eyed I could shy from But you know It's just one more try Blueberrian pies Brain all maxed out Lobotomise me and I'll say You know it's sublime Blueberries on time For you

Bender 05:37
Do the math, understand What's about to enter Recreate what you feel Summer in December One by one they fall down Ready to surrender Digitise what you feel You've been on a bender I can never understand your take Standing in the middle of the forest Hiding underneath the trees Waiting just to hear the chorus I can never compliment your state Wading in the middle of the chorus Never knowing what to do Hearing voices echo through the forest Stifle the bloom I could forever stay in this room Though I should never Stifle the bloom I could forever stay in this room Do the math, understand What's about to enter Simulate future feels No need to press render Draw the path, falter back At your own surrender Humanise market feels Mini-bar Crusader I would like to contribute you say Signing up for causes through the forums Dealing with the pointlessness of we Ageing amidst a flock that's dormant I cannot explain how I feel If I did I'd need a new thesaurus Words fall short when we're amazed By a sight that's difficult to bore us I want you I want you I want you I warned you I warned you I warned you I warned you I want you Though I should never Stifle the bloom I could forever stay in this room I know you always follow the crowd Spinning in circles, the crowd goes around

Temper 04:45
If I could change your temper Then I'd be president I wish I could remember Exactly what you said If I was Jeffrey Bezos I'd pay everyone's rent I wish I raise a fortune To give him fifty cents Why would you stay inside Lay awake As time goes By all accounts it's fine So rest Assured that If I could change the standards I'd break with precedent If I was Ginger Rodgers I'd dance until the end If I could change the future I'd live inside the past If I was John Travolta I'd be in Sunday mass How can you break from time Float away Or regress to Where would you stray outside When you walk on Tight ropes If I could change your temper Then I'd be president If I could be whoever Then I'd be who I am

I would like to push you to the edge 'Cause you don't look like you understand it Find out how exactly you were raised and all the things you took for granted I don't know what you'd expect to be if all you needed was some access Phase-out any optimist you see and drown in fluffy snowy mountains I could never offer what you want to know I could make an offer but I'd rather fold When you've got characteristics Tell won't you feel my side Show me oceans and statistics Help me drown uneasy thoughts When I got characterinstincts Park me on a comfy couch Feed me heroes, woes and fiction Every time I wander off You could never offer anything I'd keep I could never offer such a quick relief Show me snowy mountains On the smart TV Show me snowy mountains On the smart TV Show me snowy mountains On the smart TV Show me snowy mountains On the smart TV I would like to be there But it's a documentary

Trails 05:05
All the knowledge passing along All I want is to prove you wrong with this song But I'm falling too deep Deep in the sleep of I don't know Maybe your opinions are wrong Time after time you should google some stuff on your phone What am I to keep, deep in this sleep 'Cause don't know All the knowledge passing along All I want is to prove you wrong with this song Might I digress 'Cause I don't know All these vessels leaking along Time wasn't meant to be something I could've sworn What are you to wear, you're under repair And overdrawn Maybe input thresholds are gone So let me paint a corner that is of my own Help me, count me to sleep some rare type of sheep On my phone All these words are eating me slow All I want is to make some sense of it all But I digress With I don't know

about

Η πρώιμη μορφή αυτής της μουσικής γράφτηκε αρκετό καιρό πριν ξεκινήσουν οι πρόβες με το σχηματισμό που ηχογραφήθηκε. Ο Γιώργος και ο Παντελής φέρανε τις αρχικές ιδέες και δομές των κομματιών και η μουσική έπειτα σμιλεύθηκε από όλους τους εμπλεκόμενους. Η τελική τους μορφή πλαισιώνεται στον πρώτο δίσκο του The Tusk, με τίτλο “Arguments Around Waste”.

"The Tusk" λοιπόν, είναι η σύμπραξη του πυρήνα "TUSK" (Παντελή Πιλάβιου & Γιώργου Κραββαρίτη) με τους εξής φανταστικούς τύπους και μουσικούς:

Κώστας Ζάμπος
Παντελής Τάκης
Γρηγόρης Χατζηστεργίου
Μάρκος Λαμπαδιάρης

Ηχογραφήθηκε σχεδόν αποκλειστικά ζωντανά και εξ’ ολοκλήρου στο σαλόνι (πλην του βιμπράφωνου που ηχογραφήθηκε στο Δισκέξ Στούντιο από τον Σέργιο Βούδρη) με λίγα μηχανήματα και εξοπλισμό.

Είμαστε πολύ χαρούμενοι και συγκινημένοι που μοιραζόμαστε αυτά τα κομμάτια μαζί σας.

Ευχαριστούμε,

την οικογένεια του Γρηγόρη και τον ίδιο που άνοιξαν διάπλατα το σπίτι τους για να το κάνουμε όλο αυτό.

τον Σταύρο Γεωργιόπουλο για την παραχώρηση μικροφώνου για την ηχογράφηση των φωνητικών και την υπομονή του.

τη Ζωή και το Χρήστο που είναι τόσο υπέροχοι και βοηθητικοί άνθρωποι.

Early iterations of this music date back quite some time before rehearsals started featuring the line-up which ended up recording it. Giorgos and Pantelis brought in the raw material and structures for the songs, which then took shape as a result of everyone's input. The songs' current state was captured and is now being presented as The Tusk's first record “Arguments Around Waste”.

"The Tusk" is the collaborative effort of the "TUSK" nucleus (Giorgos Kravvaritis and Pantelis Pilavios) with the following exceptional musician people:

Kostas Zabos
Pantelis Takis
Grigoris Hatzistergiou
Markos Lampadiaris

Recorded live in the living room (save for the vibraphone, which was recorded at Diskex Studios by Sérgios Voúdris) with some overdubs done later on, with little equipment and machinery.


We are very happy and a tad bit moved to be sharing these songs with you.

We would like to thank,

Greg's family and Greg himself for opening up their house for us to carry out this project.

Stavros Georgiopoulos for lending us the mic which we recorded the vocals with and for his patience.

Zoe and Christos for being such lovely and helpful people.
