another night is another dream is another day
is another choice between the 10,000 or the way
you know light shines right through that fearful wall you put in front of me
you know both sides are just the same too full if not empty
when beauty has been named as all you want to be
ugliness is born and it's in all that you see
you're gonna break if you stand so rigidly
your greatest path to strength is that of fluidity
you tried to give away your love but they didn't want it so they didn't get it
so you hardened up your heart as if toughness is what would give it (power)
if you try to give away your love and they didn't want it they just didn't get it
now if i even touched your heart i think it would start to break in a minute
shatter!
so be wise and recognize when tides arise and flow
or you'll sink like a stone filled with the weight of "no no no no no"
i wanna see you as all, as a sage-
i wanna call to you when you have no name
(chorus)
i want a supple love ooooo
be like water love flowwww
i see you as a sage, whats above and below
don't shatter

FRIENDS - The Way (BLOOD ORANGE MIX)

Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International
Release date: MARCH 18, 2014

For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of Awake – his second LP for Ghostly International – the solo project has evolved into a three-piece band. Relating closer to post-rock than ambient soundscapes, the record is situated in the present, sounding more like Hansen than drawing from his influences. “This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record.”

Following 2011’s Dive LP, the San Francisco-based designer toured extensively, and with a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) rejoined Scott on the road for this tour, but it was the particular addition of Rory O’Connor’s live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision. “After the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album,” Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho’s creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond its current sound.

In a cabin near Tahoe last winter, Zac and Scott began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn’t until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with Rory that it all fell into place. “It crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record,” says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with more organic instruments in the fold. Songs like “Montana” and “Awake” are a departure from Tycho’s previous material – unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record – while “See” and “Dye” echo ideas from previous works, bridging a middle ground between the old and new. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might previously layer under synthesizers and exhume them with distinct bass and guitar patterns.

Also known for his design work as ISO50, Hansen’s visual and sonic efforts have dovetailed throughout the course of his career. “This is the first time in my life I've dropped everything to focus on one artistic pursuit,” notes Hansen. Previous Tycho releases came to fruition when an amalgam of songs were nearing completion, but Awake is where music becomes the focus and true expression becomes the result.

BUOY - Took Me Up
Taken from the Immersion EP (via @octoberrecords)

Get it here: bit.ly/BUOY_EP

--

Already drawing comparisons to artists like FKA Twigs, James Blake and Maria Minerva as well as gaining support from Belle & Sebastian, Jagwar Ma and Joakim, BUOY’s first single “Took Me Up” (from her upcoming debut EP Immersion), is set for release on October Records at the end of February.

Produced by BUOY and Jack Grace (@jackgraceofficial)
Mixed by Zebra Zap and Spirit Faces (@spiritfaces)
Mastered by Matt Colton

Took Me Up

Written, arranged, performed & co-produced by Samantha Urbani
Synths, etc: Samantha Urbani
Piano & Horn arrangement: Devonté Hynes
Bass: Matthew Molnar
Producer: Sam Mehran

Parts were recorded on the MetroNorth train from New Haven to Grand Central, in Dev's old East Village apartment, in Samantha's secret hermit home, in Matt's Bushwick shred palace, and in Sam's Hollywood dungeon studio.

Lyrics: 

Threatened by the law,
I crawled in a comfortable lap
Crucified by love,
I fell in a predictable trap.
All at what cost?
All I could think about was that.
And all that was lost,
That I've seen in dreams.

Simple as 1 2 3 4, 
methodical persuasion
I know you've done this before,
You've mastered the equation.
But you'll only hurt yourself, not me.
And anyone you've done it to before,
You'll also bear the weight of.
I don't need to settle the score,
You are the perpetrator.
You'll judge yourself, you'll never be free.

The cheater never wins,
Even if he ends the game with the highest score.
And the liar never knows love,
You can't earn that through force.
I know the illusion of power
Just leaves you needing more.
In your loneliest hour,
You'll be haunted by me.

Simple as 1 2 3 4, 
methodical persuasion
I know you've done this before,
You've mastered the equation.
But you'll only hurt yourself, not me.
And anyone you've done it to before,
You'll also bear the weight of.
I don't need to settle the score,
You are the perpetrator.
You'll judge yourself, you'll never be free.

Don't Want To See You

Written, performed, and recorded by Modeling

Lyrics

Before you and your brothers,
Before you dreamt of chasing the sun,
Your parents used to dream like you
They were young once...

Now they are chasing others,
Another's wish.
Near the dying of the light,
You are the apex of their existence

I'm not a ghost. Not ready to be a ghost,
I'm not a ghost. Not ready to be somebody's ghost

Before you ever wondered what lies beyond the event horizon,
Good men were waving goodbye, 
Women too, daughters and sons

We all become a ghost, 
Ghost of someone,
A memory to look back on,
Apex to those gone

Oh but

Oh but

There's a colour you know in here
And it riddles me well
But you cry, for I can't ask for nothing right 
So I turned in on a rough night

Fall in
Will you ever know
Where I'm falling from
Will you ever

Open

Enough for your love
Not enough of your love
Enough for your love
I'm high enough for you

Fall in
Will you ever know
Where I'm falling for
Will you ever

Fall in

Where I'm falling for
Will you ever

Oh but
Oh but you never know

lyrics

you wanna meet me downtown,
and i got visions that we could entertain.
i see you coming back round, it was a sure shot now
we could break it down every day.
i mean really break it down-
don't fake it when you take it there in every way.
if i can make it down, we could make it loud
but you need to listen to me.

you know i know that we go way beyond these years
you'll go i'll go but we know, we'll always meet right here

it was a show down, i had to throw down
i felt something coming for me
but what we know now, is when it goes down
it's easy to get up and leave
but while the time slips away, i know we are in this indefinitely
don't be a fool now, we need to cool down
you'll remember when you look at me baby

you know i know that we go way beyond these years
you'll go i'll go but we know, we'll always meet right here
why you out there chasing them when you know i'm irreplaceable,
my love, gonna be so clear
you know i know that we go way beyond these years

we all grow tired of circles and spirals
running, running always
so when we find our one true admirer
there's time it may take to engage, forever
ooh, to feel like heaven can bind you
that terrifies you, turns clouds into flames
and you may walk away but never forever
when we return, it's like we never missed a day

you know i know that we go way beyond these years
you'll go i'll go but we know, we'll always meet right here
why you out there chasing them when you know i'm irreplaceable,
my love, gonna be so clear
you know i know that we go way beyond these years

i mean really break it down-
don't fake it when you take it there in every way.
if i can make it down, we could make it loud
but you need to listen to me.

you know i know that we go
you'll go i'll go but we know

why you out there chasing them when you know i'm irreplaceable,
my love, gonna be so clear
you know i know that we go way beyond these years

Wash It Down

This is not from my forthcoming album, just some things on my mind.
Photo by Robert Mapplethorpe.

Lyrics.
frustration and depression breaks me down
descending like they wanted underground
the further our journey the less you care
that's why you laugh at Kanye when he's talking in a chair
but the same conversation but replaced,
is good enough for laughs or a smile on your face,
happy to be singing all our songs to survive,
but when we need help, you don't get off til 5. 
it's powerful to feel so alone in a group

let me break this down for you and tell you how we feel again,
your fear is all you hold on to, so when you see me it's not fair
i have nothing left to give when you don't notice what is wrong,
Charleston left me broken down but it's just another day to you

i ain't got nothing left to give you
and i'm too tired, to even talk about it
while watching the fire,

tasting pain coming from a place of truth 

to be another in a messy world
to feel like giving in another turn?
you wouldn't listen if i told you

so how can i become anyone?

J. Tito

Auntie Flo has been with us since the very beginning, so it's naturally a pleasure to present you with the first audio off his forthcoming LP – arriving via our other favourite Glaswegian worldly worldie Huntley + Palmers, no less.

The title track is one of the more direct, streamlined cuts we've heard from Brian D'Souza. It's an outstretched hand to dancefloors worldwide, though very much in thrall to the quintessential bubbling gumbo pot of influences we've come to know and love from the man.

So In Love sees release October 18th; the single drops Sept 7th. Taken from the forthcoming album 'Theory of Flo' out in October 2015.
