2017

Danish four-piece Communions have announced details of a new EP. Communions will be released on Tough Love Records on Monday 1st June. There will be two vinyl pressings - one on black vinyl, the other on blue available only from the Tough Love store. 

iTunes pre-order - http://smarturl.it/CommunionsEP.iTunes
12" -  http://smarturl.it/Communions.RT 

The self-titled EP features lead track Out of My World and is accompanied by 4 other tracks, all recorded in their hometown of Copenhagen. The listing of the EP is as follows:

1. Forget it's a Dream
2. Wherever
3. Restless Hours
4. Summer's Oath
5. Out of My World

The EP is the second release on Tough Love Records, following the release of AA-side single So Long Sun/Love Stands Still at the end of 2014. The limited 7” sold-out and Pitchfork were quick to praise the A-side and hone in on their musical influences: “The song oozes effervescent warbles—from vocalist Martin Rehof, and the interplay of shimmering guitars, and lovely crescendos of reverb, reminiscent of early Stone Roses.” (Pitchfork)

Communions, made up of brothers Martin and Mads Rehof, Jacob van Deurs Formann and Frederik Lind Köppen, are fast-gaining attention for their transcendent melodies, delicate guitar lines and emotive pop songs about naivety and youth.

Official lyrics:
I want to be something
I want to feel your heart
I want to never know you want me
I want to be something
I want to never be the one who lost

I need a cause so bad
I need a reason to be in this world
I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand
I don't know what I like but I like what I know
But I know so little
All I know is from being alone

I wanna steal something
I wanna play your part
I wanna see you play my hand
I wanna steal something
I wanna know you got my birthday card

I need a cause so bad
I need a reason to be in this world
I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand
I don't know what I like but I like what I know
But I know so little
All I know is from being alone

I want to be something
I want to feel your heart
I want to never know you want me
I want to be something
I want to never be the one who lost

I want to be something
I want to be something
I don't know what I like but I like what I know
But I know so little
All I know is from being alone

I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand
I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand
I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand
I'm a boy, I'm a man
I don't know where I stand

New Life

I fell in love with Joy Electric over a decade ago. There was just something about buzzing, whirring synthesizers and melancholic melodies that did it for me. The few friends I’ve shared it with over the years never understood my devotion to what seems like esoteric electronic music, but Ronnie Martin’s saccharine synthpop taught me to take melody seriously.

Both prolific and obscure, Martin never settled on one sound; every album was an experiment with textures and timbres. One song, however, is for me the indubitable flagship of his singular songwriting. “The Boy Who Never Forgot” is at once hook-laden yet reserved, easygoing yet wistful—the type of configuration I aim for in every song I write. My cover of this gem serves as a tribute to the synthpop wizardry of Joy Electric. As you listen, I hope you feel just a little bit of that magic that inspired me as a teen.
