Unknown Mortal Orchestra - “Can’t Keep Checking My Phone” from ‘Multi-Love’ out May 26th, 2015 on Jagjaguwar

Lyrics:
Aurora Borealis, me for her for real it’s lust
The love can’t be heard above
Everyone acts like a day drinker (yeah)

We eat crickets 
In the future
Just tastes like 
“Far-from-home”
Drink Chicha
In the Jungle
That sounds great
Im kinda busy, could you call back again?
Im sure you’ll come back
Til then I

Can’t keep checking my phone (no)

We read the universe might be holographic
Traffic lights might reverse my love
Go ahead and traverse the winter (yeah)

We eat crickets 
In the future
Just tastes like 
“Far-from-home”
Drink Chicha
In the Jungle
That sounds great
Im kinda busy, could you call back again?
Im sure you’ll come back
Til then I

Can’t keep checking my phone (no)

The new EP from DOOMSQUAD due Monday 25th May on Bella Union

DOOMSQUAD - Two-Way Mirror

No Reason To Stay

“Half Heart Necklace” is the new single to be taken from Allo Darlin’s latest album We Come From the Same Place (out now on Fortuna POP!). The third full-length recording from the much loved Anglo-Australian four-piece is made up of smart, beautiful pop music, with lyrics that resonate with experience and melodies that chime, echo and soar.

Unusually for Allo Darlin', "Half Heart Necklace" is written from someone else’s perspective, a rare occurance among songwriter Elizabeth Morris' catalogue of intimate, heart-wrenching songs, and taps into a dark story from her youth in a small Australian town. As she explains; “This is a song written from the point of view of a girl from my home town who did quite a strange thing when I was growing up. There had been some murders, and this girl who was my age was missing and presumed killed. It turned out she had been hiding for years in her boyfriend´s cupboard, and she was charged for wasting police time and there was a big brouhaha. Half Heart Necklace is a Twin Peaks thing. Sometimes I think my hometown is like Twin Peaks in more ways than one.”

Allo Darlin’ were formed after Australian Elizabeth Morris arrived in London and bought a ukulele from the Duke of Uke shop in Shoreditch. She began writing music and was soon joined by fellow Australian Bill Botting (bass), Paul Rains (guitar), and Michael Collins (drums). Their debut album attracted many plaudits including being named No. 2 record of the year by online retailer eMusic, and a glowing 1,200 word essay by Robert Forster of The Go-Betweens in the Australian critical magazine, The Monthly. Their second album "Europe" scored 8.1 on Pitchfork, was made USA Today’s Album Of The Week, and garnered praise from Uncut, Q, NME, The Quietus and The Guardian. It was also named Rough Trade Shop’s Album Of The Month, where it went on to become the biggest selling album of the year. The band have been playlisted at BBC 6Music and have recorded sessions for Lauren Laverne, Marc Riley and John Kennedy (XFM), as well being Steve Lamacq’s personal pick for BBC Introducing. Their releases to date, along with their joyous and effervescent live shows, have seen them build an intensely loyal and ever-increasing fanbase.

The new album combines the eagerness, urgency and immediacy of their 2010 self-titled debut with the contemplation, sophistication and ambition of their 2012 follow-up "Europe," and yet it goes beyond either both sonically and in the songs. It was written at a time of considerable change for songwriter Elizabeth Morris, a time during which she fell in love, moved to Italy and got married. The truism is that third albums are difficult beasts, but by remaining true to themselves Allo Darlin’ have side-stepped the pitfalls to produce a wonderful record - thoughtful and exciting and exquisitely played – that will please their existing army of fans and newcomers alike.

"The song is about having the animal instinct inside you come to life. Running with them, joining them - the instinct taking over, giving you freedom and making you forget about your human self and all things we humans keep around us in the modern society.

I think humans need to let go a bit more, shake their bodies more often, like the animals do.. It's a beautiful thing really.

Sometimes when you look at the world, and you see what we've done to it, the way many of us hurt the world we live in, innocent animals, even our own kind! And that kind of makes you want to follow the wolves instead. At least for one night."

Aurora Aksnes is a 18 year old girl from Bergen, Norway. She strives to write music that can inspire people, through idiosyncratic tales of struggle, love, and all that lies in between.

LYRICS:

Go 
fit the pieces back together
Make it whole
Cause there is something I've been missing
Take control
Weave a halo round my head
to make it holy
So make it neat
Cut the edges
and sew me up at the seams
Exhale with expectations 
til you try to leave

I love to watch the colors fade around me
Fade to black and grey 
Darling, make me feel at home
Cause every piece of you surrounds me
Keep it on display
Darling, make me want to stay.

So you can go
wait for divine intervention
to soothe your soul
in this waiting game we're playing
Should've known by now

I love to watch the colors fade around me
Fade to black and grey 
Darling, make me feel at home
Cause every piece of you surrounds me
Keep it on display
Make me feel at home
Make me feel at home

I love to watch the colors fade around me
Fade to black and grey 
Darling, make me feel at home
Cause every piece of you surrounds me
Keep it on display
Darling make me feel at home
Make me feel at home
