La Sansonette

Moral panic is a peculiar business. Kernels of vague information blossoming into fully fledged thickets of horror, shrieking tabloids inciting the masses to arms, pearls clutched at, innocents persecuted, etc, etc.
This kind of thing is often grimly compelling of course, and Brooklyn's purveyors of angular pop, Strange Flesh, were sufficiently compelled by the modern legend of The Croydon Cat Killer that it became the focus of their brilliant new single, 'Croydon Fox'.
Written from a satirically anthropomorphic perspective of the urban fox(es) that the 'killer' turned out to be, 'Croydon Fox' explores an after dark face-off between two of the world's best-loved animals, viewed through the warped lens of a very human media frenzy.
Strange Flesh is the new project of Varrick and Ed Zed, originally conceived during the bleak summer of 2020, and made, well, flesh in the here and now. Formerly known as The Casual Sexists, V & E are renowned for conjuring stylish, off-kilter pop music out of ostensibly unmusical objects and the mayhem of the modern world. Strange Flesh is a continuation of their voyage, which finds the duo questing into ever more exotic sonic territory.
'Croydon Fox' is out now on House of Zed.

Dreaming (Radio Edit)

New danceable indie synth track. About cynical genes, magic rooms and one stopping me going into the other.
Listen to see what the f I'm on about.

"New Wolves’ 7th single ‘Lifeforms’ is an absolutely catchy, synth-soaked indie pop-rock ear-candy, with distinctive, beautiful vocals, eclectic melodies, alluring synths and lots of 80s nostalgia for the “Back to the Future” generation!" - lastdaydeaf.com

Speak

A big folksy rant! 

Lyrics: 

So many cycles around this sun          
Got a map and a compass
A torch and a drum       
Sometimes the heat, it sure gets you down
Sometimes the heat, it gets you down.
Just look at you now, 

Oh, just look at you now, 
Oh, just look at you now.

And the band it keeps playing 
While that great ship keeps sinking
And you want to remember that 
Laissez-faire feeling
Where you just didn’t care 
What they’d say in the morning  
But that sea level’s rising and
And she gave you fair warning

Oh, just look at you now
Oh, just look at you now

And the preacher man quotes 
From his old-time religion
About the rock and the sand 
And the houses they’re building
Saying stand or fall is the 
Proof of foundation
But there’s children in the dirt 
Beneath his mission station

Oh, just look at you now
Oh, just look at you now

So many cycles around this sun
Got a map and a compass
A torch and a drum 
Sometimes the heat it sure gets you down 
Sometimes the beat it sure spins you around 

And if the statues are falling 
And the framework is shaken
then a storm that destroys 
Becomes liberation…
And oh, just look at you 
Oh just look at you 
Oh just look at you

So many cycles around this sun          
Got a map and a compass
A torch and a drum       
Sometimes the heat, it sure gets you down
Sometimes the heat, it gets you down.

Just look at you, 
Just look at you now, 
Just look at you

Notes: (lots of them!) 

Global warming and rising sea levels; the horrific revelation of the First Nations children buried beneath schools in Canada; statues of slave traders, such as Edward Colston being removed by anti-racism campaigners (bring it on!). 

But I wanted to do more than just observe… bringing all these together I wanted to make the link that our current state of human-made climate catastrophe is also an inevitable by-product of western capitalism that has had its foundations in colonialism, and religious / political imperialism. The impacts of history are not limited to the pages of the past, consequences of actions continue to unfurl in our present. 

Having grown up in Western Australia, I find that throughout my adult life I have been unlearning so many of the global narratives that I was taught as a child. At primary school we were taught history through the lens of colonialism. We celebrated the 1988 ‘Bicentenary’, 200 years since Captain Cook had discovered Australia. Not once were we asked to consider this heritage from another perspective, that through the eyes and experiences of First Nations peoples this event marked 200 years of white invasion and occupation. 

And then of course there are the links with The Church establishment. The Missions. Institutions that historically enabled the forcible taking of children from their homes and families. Complicit in colonial violence, enabling racism and white supremacy, covering up acts of abuse… 

In my adult years I’ve come to better understand colonialism as an act of global violence resulting in (and not limited to) stolen land, stolen culture, stolen children, in the name of progress and profit. 

We need a new framework. But what will it take to dismantle the existing ones?

Just Look At You Now

Trees Have Roots 2.0 (Remix by National Trevor)
Inspired by the personal stories of migration in both Roxana & Pete's own families, this track explores that feeling of being mixed culturally, of being rootless & of making home in many places. 
War was a backdrop to both their childhoods.
Roxana grew up in Iran & her family fled when the Iran/Iraq war started.
Pete's parents grew up in the old Czechoslovakia and fled to London when the Russian tanks rolled into Prague. 
These feelings are also something that many of us are experiencing in the world right now, as many people flee their homes due to conflicts. REMIXED in Falmouth, Cornwall by Producer National Trevor who got in touch with them after hearing the original track and loving it!

Cold Tangerina
Dear Clementina
In the rain, at the store,
You can feel it the best
In the mid of your chest

Cold Tangerina 
My Quarantina
And you said we should rest
I know I won’t protest
You know I’ve been impressed

Caught in the game of an orange juice contest
If It’s the same light coming through I see it playing off
There is the peel of a common fruit I rest
And If you say you wanted to 
You know I’m staying oooooooon

Cold Tangerina
Double dip dreamer
You can hold the effect
You can make an arrest
It’s the orange perfect

I could go through a whole freezer full of what you do
I could do a multipack of that, what’s true, you

Caught in the game of an orange juice contest
If It’s the same light coming through I see it playing off
There is the peel of a common fruit I rest
And If you say you wanted to 
You know I’m staying oooooooon

Cold Tangerina
Dear Clementina
In the rain, at the store,
You can feel it the best
In the mid of your chest
