Sentimental and sunshiny is a challenging combination to pull off, but Ang Bandang Shirley’s “Polygonal Graphs” has managed just fine. Clear, ringing guitar chords stroll through big-hearted melodies and C86 moments; the mood of wistful romance, a feel-good tickle completely bereft of cheap sentimentality and gimmicks. Credit Selena Galang for taking over the spotlight this time. The ‘60s-rooted pop jangle and Sarah Records-referencing breeziness of the track were the core appeal of Selena’s former and current side projects, Candyaudioline and Slow Hello, in which she tailors soaked and sugared to Shirley’s deceptively simple pop-rock dynamics, smoothly as though cool air is rustling through and ready to take you to its wings.

“Polygonal Graphs” is included on Ang Bandang Shirley’s latest album, Tama Na Ang Drama, which you can purchase at Fully Booked Bonifacio High Street and online: on iTunes and on http://wideeyedrecordsmanilashop.bigcartel.com/. It’s also part of Erasing Memories, a free online compilation curated by Vandals On The Wall and SEA Indie. You can download the mixtape here: http://vandalsonthewall.com/erasingmemoriesmixtape/

Ang Bandang Shirley - Polygonal Graphs

If I stay - hold on to me
If I play - It's gonna be another HEARTBREAK!

If we try - we try it YOUR way
and if i DIE - you're gonna dig my grave

Your Hands Are Warm, My Lips Are Gray
I'm a Walking Corpse Anyway!

Saw your smile  - yeah it cuts right through me
I Saw your smile IN ANOTHER HEARTBREAK!

Last Will Ni Toledo

Here's part of our set last Nov. 15, 2014 at The Sun Manager's EP launch at Route 196, where we play Dreams by Fleetwood Mac and Cincinnati Clocks.

Thanks again April Hernandez for letting us be a part of this special occasion. And thank you Mariah Reodica for recording this bootleg!

And we would like to especially thank our friend Paolo Arciga for singing with us on Dreams. This one's for you and your dad. Our deepest condolences and warmest hugs to you and your family.

woundzzz

i'll wait for you
to become new
bruises on my skin
waiting to fit me in

the gaps on your sighs
the slits on your wounds

paint thinning out
bodies shifting around
changes that we keep
when our eyes meet

do i still
know you?

produced by Kean Reformado and Ourselves the Elves
recorded at Wack Wack Studios

Wounds

lost with you / eggboy cover

if they come for me
pull me close but gently
when they come for me
let me go but slowly

i hear my name
from an empty hallway
the angry rain
couldn't drown them out

but with you right here
the restless ghosts inside my head
seem to disappear
and it's you who haunts me now instead

with you right here
i don't dread the passing of the day
with you right here
they couldn't hurt me

if they come for me

if they come

Okay Okay I'm Wrong I'm Sorry

These Nights

goodbyes forever
