Block The Noise is about PTSD. The song follows a cycle of repression, escapism and release, the time-old practice of exorcising trauma and memory with euphoria, music and movement - Amnesia’s Ritual. 

It’s the focus track from pecq’s 3rd EP Amnesia’s Ritual - an exercise in using music to understand grief. Born out of a need to process the death of close friends, the third EP from London art-pop duo pecq is an unflinching portrayal of loss and the incomprehensible array of emotions that accompany it.

pecq - Block The Noise

Out 13/1/23

After two years of scrubbing dishes and sweeping floors, London’s premier DIY Baroque-Pop troupe, Tugboat Captain, return with blink-and-you-miss-it two-minute single, Flash of Light. A venture into more psychedelic realms than debut studio album Rut (2020), Flash of Light features extra-terrestrial bleeps and bloops, glistening harmonies and the first ever four-part bassoon drop in the indie-rock genre. Whilst lyrically focusing in on a moment of existential dread as one awakens, the track is a return to the total DIY attitude of earlier Tugboat Captain records with the band writing, mixing, and producing all 125 second of music. Having spent the past two years quietly burrowed away in studios across South London you can hear a new level of studio experimentation recalling the wilfully weird of early Flaming Lips, the sonic exploration of Grizzly Bear and the intimate clatter of Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

New year came around
And we all hope to hear the sound
Of pages turning to reveal where we are bound
Searching for the answers at the bottom of our glasses
We’ll be counting fireworks till morning comes
I wonder if this year will bring more songs that we can sing together
When we feel alone

Almost out of time
Fantasies align and we are ready to
Revolve around the Sun again
How much we will learn depends on
How bright we can burn
Turn the page again
Step into the unknown

New year came around
And we feel lifted off the ground
As if we know exactly which way we are bound
No need for the answers, we’ll just learn our little dances
While we’re counting fireworks and holding hands
I wonder how loud we can sing
No matter what the year will bring
We’ll never be alone

Almost out of time
Fantasies align and we are ready to
Revolve around the Sun again
How much we will learn depends on
How bright we can burn
Turn the page again
Step into the unknown

Flares colouring the midnight sky
Light reflecting off our eyes
Seconds passing by
I’ll hold you close and keep you warm
You’ll smile and kiss me in return
Excited to reveal all we can learn

Almost out of time
Fantasies align and we are ready to
Revolve around the Sun again
How much we will learn depends on
How bright we can burn
Turn the page again
Step into the unknown

We Stayed Indoors

Counting Fireworks

Black Water - Angus Powell

Life is the train that keeps rolling
Rolling
Sometimes it rolls fast
Sometimes it rolls slow
It can be full or empty

From Station to station
Carriages full of expectation
Rolling on til the tracks run out
It's the journey you can't live without

Life is the train that keeps rolling
Sometimes you got a first class ticket
Sometimes it’s standing room only 
it’s crowded and you still feel lonely

From Station to station
Carriages full of expectation
Rolling on til the tracks run out
It's the journey you can't live without

Sometimes you got a first class ticket
Sometimes it’s standing room only 
it’s crowded and you still feel lonely

From Station to station
Carriages full of expectation
Rolling on til the tracks run out
It's the journey you can't live without

Rolling on til the track runs out
is it the journey or the destination
you dream about?

Foolish

Dreams (On the Strip)  - Radio Edit

Guilty Until Proven Guilty

Glue is a lively and energetic song that's sure to get your toes tapping, but beyond the catchy beat and upbeat tempo lies a deep exploration of vulnerability, connection, and the power of interpretation.

Overall, the lyrics of Glue are poignant and evocative, capturing the feeling of finding safety and comfort in someone else's care.
