SEASONS
Chapter 1: The Hare and the Hollow

Suddenly, through a crack, the light appears.
"Release! Freedom!" cry the patrons of the underbelly of Hades, expecting catharsis. But they receive only what they always receive: a hare, white as snow, with long ears and bravado. Oozing of enthusiasm, eager to prove his worth, naive and unaware of his surroundings.
"They sent me here, you know, the men up top. They sent me to help you poor fowl creatures to find the light. I was chosen!" the hare spatters eagerly.
"Is that so? The men up top?" one of the patrons, a morose tar-like creature replies mockingly. Hundreds of other shadowy figures burst out in laughter.
"They hand picked you from a pen, between your brothers and sisters, and sent you down here? To be our messiah, to save us from our wicked ways?" he continues.
"Well, yes, I suppose?" the hare says, suddenly doubting his initial choice of words. "I can take you back to the light, you don't have to stay here, you don't have to keep drinking the liquor in this fowl hole whilst mocking the men up top. I can save you!" the hare claims in a slightly hoarse but demanding voice.
"Won't work" the creature replies, shrugging off the hare's plea's.
"And why not?!" the hare demands, slamming his paw on the floor.
"Because" the creature says, pausing to make eye contact for the first time, his face covered in oozing black tar, and moves closer to the hare to whisper in his ear: "I used to be a little hare too."
The creatures turn back to their drinks, and the crack seals up again.





This first chapter was recorded, as Ruff Majik does, live and in only one take, not stopping for a break between songs but rather charging on through toward a triumph.

With some moments motoring at breakneck speed and other moments slowing down suddenly to whiplash inducing breaks, this is sure to be an album that keeps you on the edge of your seat. However, Ruff Majik doesn't forsake the bass heavy groove they are now known for, and this is used with fervor throughout.

Light up and enjoy.


( P.S. This is not a 3 track EP. It is part one of a 4 part album called Seasons, which will be released piece by piece at the change of the season, every season, over the coming months. Keep in mind that Ruff Majik is from South Africa, which is in the southern hemisphere.)
