Name That Tune #516 by The Eagles

Cracks In The Silver Lining

College classmates Sadye Bobbette, Ryan DiLello, Julian Snyder, and Jono Quinn met at a liberal arts school in Upstate New York though it wasn’t until a 2019 trip to a drafty cabin in the Berkshires that the four piece found inspiration for their namesake and started a band. Blending the experimental folk tendencies of Yo La Tengo with jangly noise pop textures of contemporaries Real Estate or Courtney Barnett, Otis Shanty have quickly become indie rock mainstays in their new adopted town of Boston. Following the heels of last year’s Early Birds EP, the group are now readying the release of their upcoming album Up On The Hill this Fall on Relief Map Records. For their sophomore album the quartet went to nearby Big Nice Studios (Horse Jumper of Love, Squirrel Flower, IAN SWEET) and though there is a connection to the collection on the EP, there is also an expansion both sonically and lyrically.

Now in their mid-twenties, the slacker rock influences still shine through as does a level of poignancy in partaking with peers. On the single “Nobody’s Party” singer Sadye Bobbette quips “speaking over is not speaking up/anything will fly with the roof detached”. Additionally, on “Pipeline”, the multi-instrumentalist who splits duties between guitar, trumpet, or synthesizer, exercises restraint by asking, “Do I stand a chance to give you all the thoughts that I wish to/You can’t take something back when it is said”. The same restraint is highlighted in the instrumentation and level of musicianship on the 9 track collection. Brief swirling moments from DiLello’s pedal board make their cameos and lift songs like “Seasonal Apprehension” without carrying them away. It’s on cuts like these that the rhythm section of Julian and Jono also showcase their dynamic knack for locking in a groove and pushing tracks near psych-rock territories. Sometimes it’s obvious that a band forms around a single songwriter and at others coalesce uniquely together and it’s clear that Otis Shanty are the rare latter.

Otis Shanty - Why Do I Care?

Says Who?

There it is the sun
Lending heat to our deserts
Where water now is short
And only for the richest
The sound of the sirens
Is getting louder and louder
There's a fire
We need hideouts
There's a fire
We keep running away running away
All of them had known
But nobody believed it
Except those who have warned
They lost hope in our believers
I walk along the coast
Where the mountains used to fill the views
Where the city grew from time to time
Where the future stopped to shine
There's a fire
We need hideouts
Running away, running away
Running away, running away
Running away, running away
Running away, running away

RUNAWAYYY

Just Another Life

Sober & High

This remastered album is the musical journey accompanying the harrowing events of Book 3 of "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land"), a poignant novel by Frank Talmon l'Armée. As the war closes in, the Feyerabend family, along with countless others, is forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to flee their beloved home in East Prussia. This collection of 16 tracks captures the emotional turmoil and the perilous journey that unfolds, painting a vivid sonic picture of a family caught in the midst of historical upheaval.

Book 3 plunges the listener into the chaos and fear of the final days of the war in East Prussia. The once-familiar streets of Danzig (now Gdańsk) become a haunting labyrinth of desperation and uncertainty as Inge and her family navigate the treacherous path to the harbor. The music reflects the growing tension, the ever-present threat, and the agonizing choices forced upon those seeking refuge. You will sense in the music the desperation of many refugees, but also their determination to survive.

The journey culminates in the boarding of the "Lappland," a vessel overflowing with refugees, all carrying their own stories of loss and hope. As the ship embarks across the vast and unforgiving Baltic Sea, the music evokes the vastness of the ocean, the precariousness of their situation, and the uncertain future that awaits them. You can hear in the sounds the inner turmoil of the characters: the children who do not yet fully comprehend what is happening and the adults who try to hold on to hope in the face of unimaginable fear.

From haunting melodies that echo the emptiness of a lost home to surging orchestrations that mirror the turbulent sea, this soundtrack captures the full spectrum of human emotion in times of war. Moments of quiet reflection are interspersed with powerful, driving rhythms, reflecting the resilience and determination of those who refuse to give up hope, although they know their lives will never be the same.

This musical collection offers a unique and immersive experience, drawing the listener deeper into the world of "Hinter uns das Land." It's a testament to the enduring power of family, the unwavering human spirit, and the search for peace amidst the ravages of war.

Escape The Flames (From the Original Novel Soundtrack)

Do I seem lighter now?
Do I pirouette into the room?
Have the shades all been ripped away?
Are the bleeding hearts now in bloom?
Mhm

Honey, you're the torch that has shone through the night
Just for me
Lovely, the glow that has pierced my skin
And set me alight
On this cool, dark night

Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Tonight

Do I seem happy now?
Am I now a joyful sight?
I think I used to be funny
Let's see if I am when I see you tonight
Mhm

Honey, you're the torch that has shone through the night
Just for me
Lovely, the glow that has pierced my skin
And set me alight
On this cool, dark night

Lovely, the way your skin adheres to mine
Lovely, the hills I trace down your spine
Lovely, all the ways you are tonight, on this

Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
Cool, dark night
When we burn most bright

Something on the Motorway (Fastlane Edit)

Saline is Dead Hazards' debut LP featuring 13 songs that play with themes like disillusionment and detachment and hold sounds ranging from raw sludge to rock-operatic passages. Saline brings a mixture of fuzz, colliding melodies, and low strings wrapped in melancholy, with a nod to 80s-90s heavy metal and alternative. 

Endless Delay

The fourth single from the Oslo duo Stig & Theo

The Witness

This track was heavily inspired by Johnny Marr and the Smiths. I had just finished reading 'Marr's Guitars' and had also bought a new guitar - enjoy!

I'm Not Crying...

This is Only a Test

Dolfin

Mehico

This track is about someone being tough on the outside but vulnerable on the inside.
It's all an exterior shell / front that they show to the world but really they are delicate and caring

Everybody’s fake cause I end up broken.

Outro:

End my suffering lmk (Prod. Груз 200)

Words Cut Like Blades

I drew a line to measure truth
It bent itself into a loop
I tried to name the shape of time
It laughed and told me, "Not this time"

I chased the proof, the numbers lied
They split in two, then multiplied
The closer that I came to fact
The further it dissolved to act

Meaning hides in coded schemes
In broken clocks and endless dreams
The world’s a riddle, sharp and sly
It grins and winks each time you try

You reach for logic, it slips away
A paradox dressed in broad daylight
The punchline waits at the end of the play
It only lands when the timing’s right

Bazinga!
Bazinga!
Bazinga!
Bazinga!

Bazinga

The clock's a flirt with perfect teeth
It bites each hour beneath my breath
I lead, it follows - no, the reverse
A tango measured in rehearse

Step, slip, sign, send
The dance begins again
She whispers, "Late is still on time"
I nod - her logic tastes like wine

Footnotes wink, the data moans
Each theorem grinding on its bones
I count to ten, revise, delete
The mirror mocks my tangled feet

My dear Deadline
you move like smoke
I chase, you choke
When I catch you
I vanish
and you begin again

Step, slip, sign, send
The song pretends to end
The paper breathes, the cursor blinks
The tango winks, the tango thinks

Tomorrow, same time?
Of course
