Tinggi 02:31
Sebelum kau menyerbu kami tidak percaya dengan binari Kami berdiri tegak cair dan tinggi Seperti air asin yang melingkari kami Membebaskan kami
2.
Alchemy 03:26
Some day we will return to warm water Saltwater alchemy liberates our bodies A golden horizon where Every cage is empty Every cage empty

about

These songs were written on unceded Gadigal Land. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge the ongoing resiliency and knowledges of First Nations people through culture, lore and land. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land. As settlers, we commit to continued and unwavering solidarity with First Nations people through our every day actions.

Tinggi and Alchemy are ceremonial songs written to honour sacred brown bodies. Ceremony has always been a way to celebrate and love each other in public, a way to connect with ancestral resilience. May the sun kiss our bodies and warm water carry us to freedom.

A'isyiyah would like to honour their Batak and Jawa ancestors for their ever-present guidance.

All proceeds from this release will be donated to Make West Papua Safe.
