Nick Mulvey - Fever To The Form

'Even the Darkness Has Arms' takes its cues from the old "talking' blues" style of songwriting, but with a more personal subject . The lyrics are fast, the tempo is brisk, it stays light on its feet. If you ever woke up in a bed without somebody, and you didn't know the bed or the room or the city, this song might be for you.

The Barr Brothers - Even the Darkness Has Arms

Astronauts 'In My Direction' - single released 19/1/15. 

One of the highlights from the debut Astronauts album ‘Hollow Ponds’, ‘In My Direction’ is a gorgeous, cascading slice of dark, folky pop, with Dan’s breathy vocal harmonies - and call-and-responses with his friend and collaborator Michael Cranny – floating reassuringly over an intertwining acoustic guitar flow and taut percussive backbone. As with all the best Astronauts material, it’s hooky, emotionally involving, and mildly unsettling, all at once. 

The brilliant video for the song was conceived and made by Armenia-based production company Manana Films, after they approached Dan about collaboration earlier this year. The result is an idiosyncratic, unforgettable video starring Armenian actor Andranik Lavchyan rhythmically wending his way around the capital Yerevan, confusing everyone he encounters. 

‘In My Direction’ is backed with a remix of the ‘Hollow Ponds’ track ‘Everything’s A System, Everything’s A Sign’ from Kieran Mahon, a minimal/ambient composer and long-time friend of Dan’s, who creeps up silently behind the original and injects it with a swirling, insistent menace.

Here’s a cover of one of our favorite songs, “1979” by the Smashing Pumpkins. When we stripped it down to only the chords and the lyrics we both ended up falling in love with it all over again. 

This will be available to buy on 11/12.

ASTRONAUTS
‘You Can Turn It Off’ single
Lo Recordings
RELEASE DATE: April 8th, 2016

‘You Can Turn It Off’ is the second single from ‘End Codes’, the forthcoming album from Dan Carney aka Astronauts.

Following reasonably warmly on the heels of February’s Hype Machine chart-bothering lead single ‘Civil Engineer’, ‘You Can Turn It Off’ is arguably a subtler affair, a plaintive, plinking question mark of a song.

Ornately layered “Crosby, Stills & Nash via the Thames Estuary” vocal harmonies swirl soothingly over a simple glockenspiel-and-piano-augmented progression. Like all of Dan’s best stuff, it’s melodically satisfying, memorable, and slightly psychically unsettling, the repeated assertion that, whatever happens, “you can take it all away, you can turn it off” imbuing the gently optimistic chord changes and airy, reflective feel with a compelling ambiguity.

It’s backed by an absolutely stunning remix from Dan’s label-mates Grasscut. The electronica/post-rock duo bend the original into a gloriously undulating epic, with toy box chimes, woozy percussion, and gorgeous strings gradually gathering into a pulsing, imaginative backdrop for a lovingly re-edited vocal.

We like ‘You Can Turn It Off’ a lot and hope you do too. ‘End Codes’ is arriving on May 6th.
