I am drowning man
Since the day I was born
Mermaids swim around me
Give peace of mind
Let me back to the watery warm
Where I can rest
Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last
Watery star cuts through the waves
Watery star some days
There's a piano
On the ocean floor
Playing a song
I'm drinking it in
Let me back to the watery warm
Where I can rest
Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last
Chain of coral round my neck
The mayor of sand and kelp
Atlantis my full glass
My atlantis at last
Watery star cuts through the waves
Watery star some days

'One of The Irish Times’ “10 best Irish albums of 2023 so far”'
‘…weave the kind of spells that are
virtually impossible to escape from. The result is an unexpected, under-ether thrill ride, equal measures woozy, wistful and wonderful.’ - The Irish Times
'One of the country’s most singular talents.’ - The Thin Air
As I listen to this album more and more I start discover aspects that I hadn't felt before. My love for every individual track continues to grow, but Change has remained in my heart as a deep drive to get me through the day. seonghi
Sweden's Catharina Jaunviksna, aka Badlands, creates gently glowing '80s-inspired pop - think of it as new wave in pastel rather than neon. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2021
