BIRP! March 2018

Heres one for all ya'll in the Friendzone. Poor Millhouse. 

Lyrics

Last night the rain grew dim
I called you up with no answer
Its all a waste of time
I've wanted this since forever
I dont know, its not the way I thought 
I tried for you to see, you'll never know

No, It wont ever work 
Don't you see
It dont ever work 
Oh, It wont ever work
Dont you see 
Gotta let it hurt

I'll think of ways to fly 
We smoked away in the basement 
I kissed your lips so dry 
We danced until we were wasted 
Now, its a dream I've made
And all of me has many ways to fly away

Oh, It dont ever work
But dont you see 
Gotta let it hurt

Oh, It wont ever work
Dont you see 
Gotta let it hurt
Oh, It dont ever work
Dont you see 
Gotta let it hurt

Benjamin Schoos feat. Dent May - ‘All Night Every Night’ 
Copyright Freaksville Records 2018

The story behind Benjamin Schoos’ sumptuous new single, ‘All Night Every Night’, is a very modern tale of connectivity. It’s a meeting of musical minds five-and-a-half thousand miles apart and separated by the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a bromance where the protagonists have never met outside of an email thread (they will hook up for the first time for promotional purposes in 2018). 

The Belgian crooner was listening to streaming services one day at home in Liege when the provider threw up Dent May’s sweet psychedelic soul music. The mathematical data packets selected a song of May’s and Schoos was instantly hooked. The algorithms were on fire that day, because the more he listened, the more he liked, and having secured the services of Laetitia Sadier (ex of Stereolab), Mark Gardiner from Ride and Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders as guest vocalists on his international debut China Man vs Chinagirl, he made a note to contact this kindred musical spirit - wherever in the world he might be - with the suggestion of a collaboration. 

“The first time I heard Dent’s music was in 2013,” he says. “It was Do Things, which is a great pop album. I really fell in love with his music! Great songs, great vocals and melodies with a sixties flavour, but with very modern production.” The pair have much in common: Schoos produces lush, string-laden, melancholic French pop at his Freaksville studios; May has “a voice like Brian Wilson,” according to Pitchfork, “a winsome persona - intergalactic lounge singer, spaceship yacht-rock star”. Releasing music on Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label, the L.A. based musician (having relocated from Oxford, Mississippi) counts iconoclastic chansioner Serge Gainsbourg as a major influence, as well as sardonic country pop legend Lee Hazlewood. Benjamin’s and Dent’s collaboration would prove to be a match made in heaven, or cyberspace to be more precise.

“I wrote and produced the music, played all the instruments and provided a few backing vocals at the Eastview studio in Liege,” says Schoos. “Dent wrote the lines and the vocal melody in L.A.” Gilles Martin, who was an engineer at the legendary Factory label alongside Martin Hannett, and has since overseen work by the likes of Hector Zazou and Bony Bikaye, provides the mix. 

Benjamin Schoos’ 2014 album Beau Futur was a 6Music album of the day, while ‘Je ne vous que vous’ with Laetitia Sadier was playlisted on the same station and received airplay all over the world, including on the influential KCRW radio station in the States. ‘All Night Every Night’ is his first single written entirely in English, and it promises to reach yet further afield with its sultry sonics and titular tenacity. At just under four minutes, it’s a sublime slab of sunshine pop that will appear in the middle of winter and should hopefully help dispel the winter blues. “Great pop music is powerful,” Schoos testifies. “It brings serotonin to our brains and love to our hearts.”

Lyrics:
Today I'm sleeping in 
Bound to the hole I'm sinking in 
And for so long this feeling has been obvious, I know 
Just leave it be or let it go 

Today I'm sleeping in 
Trust fall the void I seek within 
And it's so analeptic for something so abysmal 
They always say just let it go 
They always said be on your toes

Disappointing Sunset

Black Sea - Analeptic

new track / recorded today
dl: https://foglake.bandcamp.com/track/almost-fantasy

and maybe i found paradise
a little empathy but never twice
ive been taking lessons on your old advice
its almost fantasy

the suns up and it's never down
ive been kind of worried how this all will sound
give me a awhile and i'll come around
its almost fantasy

my legs are weak and my mouth is dry
ive been taking medicines but not on time
ive been craving company ill never find
its almost fantasy
