BIRP! April 2018

Want so badly to be in love 
I spend my time trying to fit 
You in a box 
One that I can make into a home 
And now I can't seem to get 
You on my own 

Why is it worth trying 
You're just an option 
I'm dying 
To get 
To know 

Meanwhile I'm the same to you 
Someone you hope lights a spark in you 
Have I lit you up yet 
Have I lit you up yet 

I've been waiting to catch a feeling 
But you're 
You're not in it for 
My heart 
You're here 
For the pussy 
You're not here 
For my heart 

You've got me wanting I can't stop reeling 
But you 
You got me cautious 
From the start 
They're calling you a hussy 
You're not here 
For my heart 

You've got me angry I've reached the ceiling 
Hand on the door 
Since the start 
Don't want to be caught 
Catching feelings 
You're not here 
For my heart 

I've been waiting for something to happen
But you've got me cautious from the start 
Don't want to be caught catching feelings 
You're not here for my heart

Don't want to be caught catching feelings 
You're not here for my heart

Cemetery Lily (feat. Kinia)

Bad Language

Cinema

Beginners

I been searching for love
Got a messy heart that seems to want a lot
And you're not the one
But you got me intertwined
When you're not around

Could this be love
I doubt it but ill take my chance with you
And you know you've thought about it
And if it happens to be true

Then I'll go along with you
If you promise to be true
Then I'll write this song for you
For you

 I think I found love
And it's not what you'd expect love to be like
But I could be wrong
Cause this has me down on my hands and knees
For you

Could this be love
I doubt it but ill take my chance with you
And you know you've thought about it
And if it happens to be true

Then I'll go along with you
If you promise to be true
Then I write this song for you
For you

The album cover for Warrior, the third full-length by Brooklyn-based band Air Waves, features a ominous, androgynous figure standing with a bicycle, wearing a gas mask adorned with a daisy.  The remarkable image was taken on April 22nd, 1970 at the inaugural Earth Day celebration in New York City by Nicole Schneit’s dad, Martin Schneit.  Forty-seven years later, artist Em Rooney hand-painted Schneit’s original black & white photo, resulting in an image that radiates with Warrior’s indefatigable spirit, strength, and love

Like many queer women, Nicole Schneit is a warrior by necessity, fighting for basic rights, dignity, and acceptance.  Such determination in the face of hardship and injustice runs in Schneit’s family; her new album was inspired in part by her mom who was diagnosed with fallopian cancer last year.  As she explains, “The doctor told her she had a fifteen to twenty percent chance, and her response was ‘I’m going to get this mother fucker.’ So the title ‘Warrior’ and the song are about her. After chemotherapy,  surgery, and then more chemotherapy, all the cancer in her body has left and she's currently in remission. I feel like most of the people in my life, including myself, are warriors and have overcome obstacles that seemed impossible to defeat.”

The dignified fighter archetype referenced in the album’s title is explored on each of Warrior’s eleven pieces of bittersweet, empowering indie pop.  According to Schneit the song “Gay Bets”, written after the 2016 election is “about being gay and being proud and open. I was thinking about hate crimes spiking and the current state of the world. My friend Jennifer Moore, who sings on the track, was my partner a long time ago, so I felt like I was writing a fuck you to Trump, for trying to take away queer rights, women's rights, people's rights.”  The song “Tangerine” was inspired by the film of the same name in which two trans women try to make ends meet as prostitutes. This movie, a dark docu-comedy shot in the contrastingly sunny setting of L.A., reflects Schneit’s battle between identity and society via Brooklyn pop rock that swings between the pastel-tinged and the downright melancholic.

On the album’s gorgeous closer “Blue Fire,” (inspired by the Adrienne Rich poem "The Will to Change") Schneit equates her post-presidential-election anxiety to a flame that grows and recedes, as she pleads for herself and listeners to remain calm. Like its namesake, the track burns slowly and brightly into one of the most glowing points on the record, leaving the listener smiling with thoughtful hope.  Warrior’s highlights, and all of the unmissable, satisfying pieces that tie them together show Schneit’s perseverance and resilience through crumbling relationships, personal adversity, and the current political climate, all leading to her most powerful collection of songs to date. Understated, subtly sophisticated, and equally empowering and comforting, Warrior launches Air Waves above the apolitical complacency of too many of the group's contemporaries.  Schneit proudly declares her mission statement: “I want these songs to be heard by people in my queer community, but also by anyone that wants to feels strong, powerful, and included.”

Call It Home

Sweden's Sam Florian released his debut single 'Days' earlier this year. It got picked up by editors and music fans all over the world –– with an add to the Spotify playlist "Fresh Finds" and it's +600 000 international followers, as the highlight.

'Color Noir' is the follow-up single. It's a dark, yet airy, melodic break-up song – born out of the frustration and betrayal/shame of a relationship that never really became a relationship. The song was written in a small darkened apartment that illustrates the feeling at the time – living there, on 15 square meters – and not be able to get out physically nor emotionally. Writing this song became the liberating solution.

Lyrics:
seeing northern lights
crawling down the buildings every night
purple fades to black
as a moony eye observes us from
above your shingled roof 
above your shingled roof

i’ve got this sneaking suspicion that i’m
made of sticks and glue
and if the scientists agree
we’ll hear it in the news
but they won’t print my name
they won’t print my name

ooo ooo (x4)

please don’t come in
because my room looks like the gowanus canal
it’s full of trash and piss
and maybe a runaway dolphin
but at least the water’s green
at least the water’s green
everything’s ok
my mood changes seasonally anyway
and when you’re done with me
i’ll just find someone else to latch onto
i’ll feel right by spring
i’ll feel right by spring

ooo ooo (x4)

Bass Song
