No Watershed

Lyrics;
Before we realise
All the pseudo-freedom we’ve engineered
Will have tied our hands behind our backs and took the wheel

Even though it seems
Like a Utopian paradise, it’s by design
So when human nature rears it’s ugly head
Don’t be surprised

So I’ll stay inside
Until we start regressing

Ooooh,
Something terrible is going to happen soon
I can feel it in the air, wish it weren’t true
But the state were in is by design

The end is almost here
Raise a glass as the sun comes crashing down
First it burns through major cities and then it spreads through smaller towns

And as despairing as it seems
Hemlington will be swallowed by the lake
And some 150 burned out cars will land on Eastern American shores

So I’ll remain inside
Until the future’s over

Ooooh,
Something terrible is going to happen soon
I can feel it in the air, wish it weren’t true
But the state were in is by design

The Circus (By Design)

Until You Showed Me

Dark electronica. Collaboration with the lyrics and vocals of Machina X

Raindrops

empty hands,
wring an empty heart,
salt the licking wounds,
till there's no longer anything left to say,
so I've come to pick a scab named yesterday,
...till the bleeding starts,

where you wanna be?
not here, not now,

the scarred flesh,
I bared as we'd undress,
precludes my pain,
these soul sick scars that slither in my brain,
there's a darkness there that dares not speak it's name,
...oh this black recluse,

some people touch the light,
just to let the shadow fall,
it's waiting in your shape,
all swollen on the wall,

it's too much,
I lay the burden down,
I couldn't quite,
drown myself in fast forwards,
and powdered pause,
I was brittling up between the broken laws,
till I started breathing,

if you were never a child you'll never be a man,
and all that you can do,
is to do all that you can...

RTE Radio1 Folk Award nominee (Best Emerging Artist category 2022), Ciara O’Neill releases new track ‘Woman’ the first single taken from her upcoming EP of the same name following the release of the celebrated ‘La Lune’ and ‘Le Soleil’ singles.
Ciara says: “Woman is an exploration of the beauty and complexities of being a Woman in modern society. Looking at myself, my own female relatives and those Women in history who have lived lives in the shadows, it’s about having a desire for more, not feeling the need to conform to expectations placed on us, and allowing ourselves to be visible and speak our truths.”

Woman

From its popping bass intro, Patriot Parade builds until you think it can’t build any more - then goes even harder. It’s an anti-racist protest song, satirising populist demagogues and their followers. Recorded in London UK, the sound mashes punk, grunge and Britpop; think QOTSA meets Blur. The single is part of a debut album launch, backed by live shows, PR agency support, and a digital marketing campaign.

Patriot Parade

Written whilst impatiently awaiting the arrival of our first child, Rosalie, this song is a reflection on the mystical and mind-boggling growth of an infant in the womb. The belief that we are all intentionally created, and our lives known and held by something / someone greater than us

Submission for Naviar Haiku challenge 533:

Flowing along
changing its colors
a soap bubble.

A fairly paired back generative virtual modular patch assembled using VCV Rack, more or less played itself although I did map physical controls so I could guide the overall shape.

Flowing Along - (NaviarHaiku - 533)

Infectious genre-bending Brit rock since 2020.

No musical influence is too obscure for London-based Attendant. The band's sound is rooted in alternative rock, but songwriter Andy Walker draws inspiration from commercial pop, film scores, video game soundtracks, TV adverts — anything that plants the seed of a hook. The formula combines energy and melody with incisive lyrical wit, weaving satirical tales around society's ills.

The band has just announced a debut album, State of Disarray, for release on 21 June 2024. It is a rock soap opera set in a collapsing society, beginning with an invitation into the dysfunctional community and ending in nuclear armageddon. Each song is a subplot, featuring a cast of mostly unpleasant people.

This storytelling approach to songwriting was inspired by lyricists like Damon Albarn (Blur), Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day), and Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), who create troubled characters and inhabit their worlds.

The songs are all based in punk, grunge, and post-hardcore - but often throw in curveball influences like blues, waltz, mariachi, and disco.

The artwork is by Dutch collage artist Toon Joosen. His dry observational wit and eye for the absurd match the themes of the album perfectly.  

Previous singles have received airplay from Daniel P Carter, Alyx Holcombe, and Nels Hylton on BBC Radio 1; Alex Baker on Kerrang! Radio; and Brian Foss on Seattle’s KEXP. The band has featured on editorial playlists curated by Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Tidal, and YouTube.
