Lyrics:

There's a song you half remember 
From some 1980s film that no-one liked
That you quite liked
 
It's a song that's gone forever
You could Google it but it would never sound as right
As it did that night
 
And there's a song
Building up inside of you that's gonna change the world
And all your Bono fantasies are gonna take hold
Come on come on it's not embarrassing to care about stuff
Come on come on if it's embarrassing then we're too old to care
And I never liked Bruce Springsteen
But I always envied that he cared 
 
And there's a memory that haunts you
Of doing nothing when doing something was in reach
But you didn't reach
 
A ghost that's in the hardware
Sending pop ups of your cock ups endlessly
So endlessly
 
And there's a song
Building up inside of you that's gonna change the world
And all your Bono fantasies are gonna take hold
Come on come on it's not embarrassing to care about stuff
Come on come on if it's embarrassing then we're too old to care
 
Come on come on let's find some inspiration in all the things that we messed up
 
And there's a song inside our skulls
we can sing to sooth our souls
sing it loud like we don't care
when we sing it no one's there 
 
Let's scoop that song out of our skulls
Force it down to soothe our souls
Let's sing it loud like we don't care
That when we sing there's no-one there

Las Nubes – Pesada

Taken from Max Blansjaar's 'False Comforts' LP (out now via Beanie Tapes) - https://maxblansjaar.bandcamp.com/album/false-comforts / https://linktr.ee/maxblansjaar

21-year-old Oxford-via-Amsterdam Indie Pop artist Max Blansjaar has released his ‘False Comforts’ debut album via the Beanie Tapes label. Recorded in Brooklyn with producers Katie Von Schleicher and Nate Mendelsohn.

Featuring the acclaimed "Anna Madonna," "Burning In Our Name," and "Red Tiger" singles, his debut LP is available on vinyl, cassette, and digital, and will be accompanied by a nine-show UK tour.

Praise for Max Blansjaar and 'False Comforts':

“Each of the singles on False Comforts have seen Blansjaar going in new directions, whether with the breezy and charming “Anna Madonna” or the textured psychedelia of “Red Tiger”…Blansjaar’s songwriting has evolved dramatically over the past few years, both becoming more ambitious and retaining an undeniably infectious element.” 

– UNDER THE RADAR 

"A sweet surrender wrapped in uncompromising rebellion, False Comforts is fever dream worthy of repeat listens – each one promising to unlock another layer of thought and sound. This might be one of the first times a record has found catharsis in a lack thereof, and that in itself makes this album very special." – ATWOOD MAGAZINE
 
"An alluring, swaying slice of tart indie pop that pulls from the rustic intimacy of Neutral Milk Hotel as much as from the effortless melodicism of Apples in Stereo....'False Comforts' was a leap of faith for Max Blansjaar." – THE ALTERNATIVE
 
"A body of work that looks set to cement his status as one of the scene's brightest shining lights." – CLOUT
