Out Of My Tree is a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek comment on society's pressure to unconditionally love everything about Christmas and to subscribe to society's increasing transformation of Christmas from a joyous time for family into a commercialised festival of consumption. Ultimately, the song's narrator is a 'grumpy old man' who doesn't like feeling forced to socialise with people he doesn't see from one year to the next and, instead, pines for what he remembers Christmas used to be.

For this release, ToB's original lead singer, Darren Bardoe took up an invitation to write and sing a lyric for Keiron Metcalfe's dismantling and subsequent re-construction of a composition from Kevin England, written in 1989. Finally, Jason Dixon added a typically-melodic bassline to Metcalfe's production that is obviously influenced by the 'Wall of Sound' (with a touch of Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood plus a light sprinkling of Trevor Horn).

A psychedelic lo-fi indie rock inspired go with the flow airy vocals with a punch of the golden age of synthesizers. “IIWII” is recorded, written, performed, and produced by Charbel Saikali (Ape Bucket) in his DIY bedroom set-up. Layers of light and dreamy guitars, with a driven bass, and dancing fit inducing synthesizers that would belong on any Indie Playlist.

Ape Bucket - It Is What It Is

I'm The Killer

You hold my hand you grip so tight
You’re like some kind of cryptonite
As the days turns to night
You’re in my arms this is paradise
I see my world in your eyes
My gift to you is my life
You pick me up take my hand
You turn me in to a better man. 

Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all


You hold my hand you grip so tight 
Your like some kind of kryptonite
A wilderness stare into your eyes
I just knew this would feel right

Love conquers all


It’s just you and I in a beautiful world 
It’s just you and I in a beautiful world

Love Conquers All
