The gala hasn't started
Drama arrives early
She wears a pricey dress
He looks always unimpressed
Everyone's got a weakness to get on the guest list
Driving Aston Martins

Cathedral Bells - "Eighth Wonder of the World"

Melbourne-based artist @marketmp3 releases their debut self-titled EP, a lo-fi collection of bedroom pop songs featuring collaborations with Tanaya Harper and Lauren Abineri. 

Market is the project of Lee Hannah, an artist with a rich and full history releasing dulcet ambient pop as The Townhouses, acting as a session musician for Wafia, playing as one half of house-tinged duo Take Your Time and releasing a short film in 2018 set in the Australian Mallee. The project showcases a love for summer-tinged cassette pop production, and is sure to appeal to fans of Men I Trust or Washed Out. 

Self-produced and mixed mostly in the Adelaide Hills over a few days last summer, the EP is made up of autotuned guitars, cheap drum machines and uncomplicated bedroom pop songwriting. 

Market’s self-titled debut EP will be out digitally and on limited cassette on June 27th via Healthy Tapes.

Deployed is the new single from Joel Wästberg a.k.a sir Was and features a vocal from Little Dragon's Yukimi.  It's taken from upcoming new album "Holding On To A Dream" out 20 September. 

"Holding on To a Dream”, is a mesmerising twisting of genres - from classic soul and old-school hip-hop, to beautifully fresh pop structures. The new record is dense with ideas and adventurous, a sonic-leap forth. “I was interested in having a lusher sound, more rich,” Wästberg says. “With the first record I had this idea that I wanted it to sound like an old vinyl record. I wanted this lo-fi, old-school sound. When I realized that I was actually making another album, I felt a bit scared of the whole thing, but it didn’t take me that long to realise that the only thing I could do was to make something that felt really right in my body and soul. I’ve realised that there’s nothing to be afraid of. I’m ready to explore so much more.”

The sense of exploration resonates throughout the record and can be defined by its start and end points. Opening track ‘Fly Away’ begins the expedition, a gleaming reflection of past insecurities as a jump-off point for the next chapter, all subtle beats and stark bursts of guitars that leap out of the mix.  Elsewhere, ‘No Giving Up’ is a tender recollection of a past relationship, set to an equally affectionate composition, a glowing example of Wästberg’s growing songwriting skills, while ‘The Sun Will Shine’ showcases another side of Joel’s skillset, a playful production full of inspired ideas and nuances; a Les Fleurseque mellow breeze in the heat of the summer.

The record’s boldest moment is reserved for ‘Deployed’, a collaboration with Little Dragon’s Yukimi Nagano. “Me and Little Dragon go way back. I’ve been hanging out with them for many years, and they were very supportive with my first album,” Wästberg explains. “I remember that Yukimi was always asking me if I was making my own music. One day I was working in my small studio room, and Little Dragon were one floor up. Yukimi knocked on the door and asked if she could listen. I played her some of my songs and she said, “This is great, go out and talk to the world!”. That was before my first album. So having Little Dragon as a feature here makes so much sense.”  Beautifully bright and sincere, ’Deployed’ is a perhaps the most vivid pop song that sir Was has released to-date.

A heartfelt accounting of relationships, of knowing when to let go and when to fight for them, ‘Holding On To A Dream’, is a dreamy, groovy treat of a record.

As Always

Lyrics:
Sinking back into your chest
I could feel again
Shooting lies far above clouds
I couldn't bare the sound
cause every time I look into your eyes
its gonna be alright, its gonna be alright
every time I look into your eyes you look back baby
its gonna be alright, its gonna be alright 

cry to me about your fears
and all the years 
you spent your time looking for mine
but now I'm here, yeah now im here and
every time I look into your eyes you look back baby 
its gonna be alright, its gonna be alright 
and every time I look back baby you're the one right there
by my side all the time, all the time

can I spend the rest of your night 
Sitting next to you by the fire
by the fire (x2)

By The Fire

when we dive down to the deep end
who’s left to blame when we drown
when we fly away to the unknown
where do we go when no ones around

picture painter lost in my night sky
wonder where your soft love likes to reside
far beyond the sun plus the universe
found a way to your stars, u my divine
entwined, could u give me peace of mind 

but i gotta say that
you’re driving me crazy, you know
kinda like the moon when it pulls on the tides
you got me feelin dizzy every time i try to hide

but my
mindset so hazy, you know 
nothing comes easy when you both gotta fight
you really make my daydream truly come alive

if i fell asleep within my own home
and woke up on your peaceful cloud nine
should i feel homesick, or some comfort
i'll stay here regardless even if

you’re driving me crazy, you know 
kinda like the moon when it pulls on the tides
you got me feelin dizzy every time pick a side

but my mindset so hazy, you know 
nothing comes easy when you both gotta fight
you got me feelin dizzy tryna look for your light
