    "A mix of shoegaze, drone rock, psychedelic stoner/doom and meditative chants. For fans of: Chelsea Wolfe, Sun O))), Deafheaven, Anna Von Hausswolff, My Bloody Valentine, Electric Wizard, Zola Jesus, Boris, Slowdive, Karin Park, Alcest, Dead Can Dance, Esben And The Witch and Emma Ruth Rudle." – PIAS Distro

    Pia Isa is the solo project of bassist/vocalist Pia Isaksen from Norwegian heavy psych/doom band Superlynx. She is now gearing up for the release of her debut solo album “Distorted Chants”, which features Ole Teigen (Superlynx) on drums and a guest apperance by guitarist Gary Arce (Yawning Man, Big Scenic Nowhere) on three of the songs.

    Having played and written music for most of her life a solo album has been brewing in Pia´s mind for a long time. Finally everything has aligned for her first one to materialize and “Distorted Chants” was the result of that. As much as she loves playing with Superlynx (formed 2013) and other people her ideas for this album seemed more right to work through on her own.

    Pia´s music is rooted in slow heavy drones but also has a lighter, dreamy and hopeful side. She is inspired by massive soundscapes, heavy psych, meditative moods, desert vibes and Eastern scales as well as her Nordic coastal surroundings. Superlynx-listeners may recognize her slow, heavy and minimalistic riffs and haunting sometimes chanting voice.

    Pia has an open mind to a lot of different music. Not caring about fitting to any genres but channeling honest and heartfelt music in her own way. The lyrics on “Distorted Chants” are deeply personal and stretches from the very inner self and throughout nature.

1.
Thick black fog drifting in covering the day taking over everything I´m not diving in i will return like the sun will break through eventually A blinding light will come A blinding light will come I´ll follow the sun I´ll follow the sun A blinding light will come A blinding light will come I´ll follow the sun I´ll follow the sun
2.
Statistics 04:56
I didn´t see this coming again But here we are going again and I´m not thinking only reacting It´s just another wave of fear coming in But I´ve been surfing it before And I know I´ll end up on the shore this is not the end i know statistically And I know I´ll end up on the shore this is not the end i know statistically Numbers on my side numbers on my side Freaking out but numbers are on my side
3.
Sun has done it´s shining Draped the night in full moon light Silver horizon Above a wild sea I am drifting on the tide Big waves rolling in my mind And it’s taking all I am I´m trying all I can to swim back to the quiet beach It’s taking all I am I´m trying all I can but I´ll end up on a quiet beach
4.
Trauma 03:45
The trespassed me Stole what I couldn't give So possessive Like a man out of history Forms below Like magma trembling Underneath the skin Volcano bursting Buried so deep But the body does not forget what my mind couldn´t take Buried so deep But the body does not forget Teacher of the things i won´t go near again
5.
Sleepless 03:31
Sleepless over poisoned seas For ice melting so rapidly Forests burning, rivers on fire Creatures running for their life Here it´s coming Time is running out Heat keeps rising, so much is lost Our eyes are open, we know what we have done Raised ourselves beyond and above Ravaged nature and burnt our home Feel it coming World is burning Are we even really trying
6.
Birds flying free Green technology Projects planting seeds for rainforest trees Protection of coral reefs Plastic picking kids
7.
Life is no straight line Mine is for sure a crooked one Leading up, down, backwords, beyond and far from where i planned to go But in the smallest corners off the tracks in the narrowest and darkest cracks I found light that was lost Light that never shuts off
8.
Mantra 03:09
9.
Every Tree 03:48
Every tree in every forest Every drop in every sea Every beat of every heart Every star in each galaxy Every stone on every mountain Every weed in every field Every breath in every being Every light wave of the sun Connects to me Connects to me Connects to all Connects to all Connects to all Connects to all
