Bells Ulls 01:58
Bells ulls, bells ulls d’ençà que tant us admiro Ja no perdo la pau del cor Beautiful eyes, beautiful eyes since I admire you so much I no longer lose my peace of mind

We were all together But we felt so lonely, The bar was full But only with small talk Small talk and drinks On the surface of our wings. Drawning thoughts In the sea of fear They have lost the current Back to earth. Searching for a harbor Beyond the fucking glass And all those screens, How can we skip large introductions? Without being awkward just knocking naturally But how can I start If there’s a phone before your heart? If you are talking with someone away, Then there’s nothing here to say Searching for a change The trampoline in a glance A deep conversation… How can we (...) But how can (…) Lonely But Together (…)

Balalaika 02:01
Aniré cantant a la prada, On m’espera l’ombra d’un àlber, Li demanaré una branca, Li demanaré una branca. I amb la fusta blanca triada, I amb els cants que m’han de donar traça, Me’n faré una balalaika Me’n faré una balalaika. I’ll go singing through the meadow, Where the shadow of a poplar awaits me, I will ask it for a branch, I will ask it for a branch. And with the chosen white wood, And with the songs that will guide me, I will craft myself a balalaika, I will craft myself a balalaika.

La Tieta 08:11
La despertà el vent d’un cop als finestrons. És tan llarg i ample el llit. I són freds els llençols. Amb els ulls mig tancats, buscarà una altra mà sense trobar ningú, com ahir, com demà.  La seva soledat és el fidel amant que coneix el seu cos plec a plec, pam a pam... Escoltarà el miol d’un gat castrat i vell que en els seus genolls dorm els llargs vespres d’hivern. Hi ha un missal adormit damunt la tauleta i un got d’aigua mig buit quan es lleva la tieta. Un mirall esquerdat li dirà: “Ja et fas gran. Com ha passat el temps! Com han volat els anys! Com somnis de jovent pels carres s’han perdut! Com s’arruga la pell, com s’ensorren ells ulls!” La portera, al seu pas, dibuixarà un somrís: És l’orgull de qui té algú per escalfar-li el llit. Cada dia el mateix: agafar l’autobús per treballar al despatx d’un advocat gandul, amb qui en altre temps ella es feia l’estreta. D’això fa tant de temps... Ni ho recorda la tieta. La que sempre té un plat quan arriba Nadal. La que no vol ningú si un bon dia pren mal. La que no té més fills que els fills dels seus germans. La que diu: “Tot va bé”. La que diu: “Tant se val”. I el Diumenge de Rams comprarà al seu fillol un palmó llarg i blanc i un parell de mitjons i a l’església tots dos faran com fa el mossèn i lloaran Jesús que entra a Jerusalem... Li donarà vint durets per obrir una llibreta: Cal estalviar els diners com sempre ha fet la tieta. I un dia s’ha de morir, més o menys com tothom. Se l’endurà una grip cap al forat profund. Llavors ja haurà pagat el nínxol i el taüt, els salms dels capellans, les misses de difunts i les flors que seguiran el seu enterrament; són coses que sovint les oblida la gent, i fan bonic les flors amb negres draps penjant i al darrere uns amics, descoberts fa un instant i una esquela que diu... “Ha mort la senyoreta... ... descansi en pau. AMÉN”... I oblidarem la tieta

You haven’t met my dark side of my moon The side that makes you realize about The whole form The whole shape, It is not always the reflection of the sunshine. I thought that you Could bare and hold My intencity, But then,I realized, my open arms can be A reason to walk away. La la la la la (...) I’m a floating Asteroid In the middle of the void, And I’m flirting with the earth Cause’ I want to be grounded. thought that you could be the ground Where I could fall. But then, I realized That you were also scared and lost In this vast vast void. La la la la la (...) I’m a floating (...) La la la la la (...)

La Llorona 03:57
Todos me dicen negra llorona Negra però cariñosa Yo soy como el chile verde llorona Picante pero sabrosa Ay de mi llorona Llorona de ayer y de hoy Tàpame con tu rebozo llorona Porque me muero de frío Ay de mi llorona Llorona que te vas al río Si mueres muero contigo llorona Si vives te sigo amando

about

They are a string quartet within a duet: two voices, a viola and a cello. Without too many elements, the two sisters create a world of their own, where everyone can become an accomplice. It could be called Folk, Pop and jazz fusion, but neither genre fits them completely.
The mother is Belgian, the father, Catalan. One sister is born in Mexico and the other in Belgium. They speak and dream in five languages, and from there their songs arise.

After traveling a lot in Europe, presenting their first album, "Escarteen Sisters", and going to live in Holland during the pandemic, after many months of being estranged from each other, the Escartin sisters reunite and create a second album, sounding a bit different, refreshed with new influences and new ways of doing. “Caure Sostingut” translated as ‘A Sustained Fall’, comes out from a re-encounter after having felt many times and the Catalan term sostingut (semitone Sharp). But this fall can be looked at in many ways: upside down, inside out, this is why it is a ‘Sustained Fall’, or a "Caure Sostingut" .
