Feathered Deities from AIXOPLUC by ROSCO CHAPEL
4. Feathered Deities
I cannot remember that I ever experienced a bird crashing into my windscreen, my car. In late summer 2024 it happened to me for the first time, while driving the Suzuki Jimny on my way to Tarragona to buy supplies. A couple of weeks later it happened again, to my surprise and sadness, as I am a bird lover. So, here’s an elegy and eulogy to the feathered deities that met their fate on my windshield. RIP.

Lyrics
4. Feathered Deities
Thousands of insects
met their fate
on my windshield, on my truck
but never a feathered deity like you
until then
Some days later
you were two
dead upon impact
a thud
flightless
breathless
on the shoulder
of a road
in rural spain

Rosco Chapel are a trinity composed of a female and a male Aquarius and a Virgo female. They produce down to earth, yet angelic sounding lo-fi noise in an organic way. They are more about cactuses than roses, more like olive trees than cypresses. They like open roads, not closed gates. Their music is filmic like a Western movie in cinemascope format, but poetically realistic at the same time.
