i wish i could tell you
how sorry i am
have you found someone new?
a christian man?
and what do you tell your friends?
"it just went down like that"
and are they terribly impressed?
what do they say behind your back?

i wish could tell you
you're drop dead kind
you're easy to talk to
and you're generous with time
and where are you living now?
and have you changed up your hair?
and do you keep my friends around?

tell me you forgive me
tell me you forget it all

i don't think i'm ready

i don't think i'm ready
to let it go

Wombo - Dreamsickle

From Deep Sound Learning (1993 - 2000).

Jimi Tenor can look back on a career spanning almost 30 years, in which time he has released more than 20 albums on such renowned labels as Warp Records, Sähkö and Kitty-Yo. Pop artist prestige holds no sway over the Finnish composer and multi-instrumentalist. Never resting on his laurels, he continues to hone his unique sound, which draws on elements of jazz, Afrobeats and experimental electronic music.

Bureau B are excited to announce the arrival of a new Jimi Tenor double album!

Release: April 9th, 2021

Stream 'Belladonna' : https://echoframe.fanlink.to/belladonna

 The Vancouver-based musician Echo Frame takes inspiration from all corners of the music world and swirls them into a bottomless pot of indie, soul, surf-rock, disco and more. With “Belladonna”, the songwriter invokes a blissful, genreless euphoria as he unlaces his narrative of romantic infatuation. The way Echo Frame partners funky guitar lines with dreamy vocals and a strolling rhythm section makes us particularly impatient for the release of his upcoming EP...

Lyrics:
Be honest with me now
You make me feel like I'm a handmedown
You pick me up and then you turn me down
Just wish you'd hit my line
I only think about you all the time
Why i gotta get in line

Is it just because I say i want it all
Is it just me 'cause, no that's not me at all
I know I say stuff that I don't mean at all
I've been thinking 'bout it and it just don't make no sense at all

Be honest with me now
You make me feel like I'm a handmedown
You pick me up and then you turn me down
Just wish you'd hit my line
I only think about you all the time
Why i gotta get in line

Girl you're feeling lonely
Don't you know that that's how I've been feeling mostly?
Yeah I'm lost but you can show me now

It's not just because, it's not how I wanted
And nothing can change that now

Be honest with me now
You make me feel like I'm a handmedown
Why your mom want me to turn it down
Just wish you'd hit my line
I only think about you all the time
Why i gotta get in line

A Million Doubts

Cyrano decants his debut single “White Wine” - Out March 24th

Cyrano’s debut single White Wine is one of immediate friendship; on fleeting moments with consequential strangers who shift your worldview in one late-night conversation. The track celebrates those spontaneous hours of connection with people who enter your life, at just the right moment.

Dreamt up in his bedroom, the London based producer and multi-instrumentalist crafted White Wine in the twilight hours, soundtracking late nights and long drives home from the studio.

Teaming up on production with Oli Barton-Wood, whose credits include Nilüfer Yanya, James Blake and Blaenavon, the track also boasts notable collaborations with Jazzi Bobbi on sax and BVs, and Leif Erikson’s Sam Johnston on guitar. Cyrano takes the lead on vocals, while playing Rhodes to his MPC beats.

Cyrano is the medium for sharing the music and words that for years have been for only the artist himself, echoing the theme of the play Cyrano de Bergerac - the inspiration behind the project.

It’s the evenings that Cyrano feels most creative. In his own words, “there’s something quite alluring about those early hours; the ambience and tranquillity provides a soft focus, away from the modern-day distractions of the world’s routine. I’m forever chasing the hours of night when time becomes elastic and I lose myself in the space of sound.”

This is Cyrano’s debut, having been premiered on Jess Iszatt’s BBC Introducing radio show. Alongside a UK tour with Leif Erikson, 2021 will see an exciting and diverse range of material to follow, including his debut EP, Consolations.

To celebrate this release, Cyrano has partnered with Garçon Wines to design a limited edition, carbon conscious bottle of white wine. The collaboration personifies the track, reminding you to reach out to those you miss.

White Wine is a testament to graft, perseverance and a dream realised.

White Wine lyrics

I didn’t think I could help you
I didn’t think we were focused
I didn’t think I could help you
I didn’t think we could focus

Cos I never wanted anybody’s heart but mine
Trying to find my truth in wine
Cos I never wanted anybody’s heart but mine

I didn’t think I could help you
I didn’t think we were focused
We had a drink with our emotions
And pushed the night ‘til it broke us

Cos I never wanted anybody’s heart but mine
Trying to find our truth in wine
Cos I never wanted anybody’s heart but mine

It happens so fast,
Like I’ve known you all this time
Stay and we could figure it out,
Lost in our white wine

We were lost in white wine baby
Lost in our white wine

Peace Out

Not a Soldier is a song for anyone who has had to come to the acceptance that love is, for better or for worse, out of our control. But I think more than that it’s a reminder that this lack of control is what makes love so worth while. - Willa Amai
