Brother (YKTDY)
Is a very nostalgic song for me. Most songs touch on the subject of love, the only difference here is that I wanted to write a song about how much I love my mates. I wanted to share some of the story’s and memories we lived through in our younger years. Growing up in Moston (Manchester). The good times. The bad times. It’s celebrating he family we choose, in our case our brothers. Life is never plain sailing but I like to think that is about who you are with not where you are. In this industry iv met a lot of privileged people but I honestly wouldn’t change our upbringing for the world. I’m proud of where I’m from & I love my mates so I wrote a song about it. Enjoy.

Brother (YKTDY)

This is our upcoming single! Hope you like it!

LYRICS

My philosophy
Always try things twice
Walk with me, you'll see
Noodles are so nice

My philosophy
Always try things twice
Walk with me, you'll see
Noodles, for life


I want noodles for life
They aint got no order
No straight lines running out
Just chaos no borders
Go where you want son
You'll stay with your brothers
And then at the end
you return to your mothers
Ill slip through his life
Like a fish seeks his water
Her crazy school showing
The way of the order
I'll sip and enjoy from the fruits of my Labour
The world rushes past,
we soon learn to savour
All the things that we see some things we don't
Some folks make what they got: some look back to ghosts
In the vacuum of time we can learn to reframe the grants we were granted now we must learn to share
I was young, so were you, we have all played the fool
I've been given the time and it comes out in rhyme
turning lists into ticks is my new therapy
I do things my own way, bowl of noodles and me.

My philosophy
Always try things twice
Walk with me, you'll see
Noodles are so nice

My philosophy
Always try things twice
Walk with me, you'll see
Noodles, for life

Noodles For Life

Quavers is about that run in at the bar with the one who outstays their welcome in every social interaction. It's about the men you meet who open with 'I'm not racist, but…'. It's written to out the bad behaviours of the trust fund babies whose actions force you into angry outbursts and confectionary theft.

It's a song written to play live and an experiment to see where our sound can go next, influenced by bands like Idles, Pulled Apart by Horses, The Streets, Courtney Barnett and Enter Shikari. It's meant to be turned up loud and screamed along to. We hope you enjoy it.

Produced, Engineered and Mixed by Ady Hall and Lee McCarthy of Sugar House Productions

Quavers

“I will carve my name into a golden sky, so the wind can sing it out aloud. And then it can rain.” – Lucy Dreams’ new single delves deep into the realm of vulnerability and the remarkable strength that can be found in revealing one's true self to others. Known for their emotionally charged compositions, the band masterfully weaves a soul-stirring narrative, en passant developing a completely new take on modern Synth pop music, both in terms of style and in terms of music production with their artificial band member Lucy. 

In a poignant moment of personal significance, "Achilles" not only explores the vulnerability within us all but also marks a historic milestone for the band as singer David for the first time takes off the mask he has been wearing since the inception of the band. This symbolic act of unmasking adds a profoundly personal layer to the song, emphasizing the power of authenticity.

Achilles

“Alex Nicol writes hauntingly enigmatic tunes and this new EP is a simply beautiful collection of songs. He sings like an angel and his fragile vocal truly touches the soul!”
Guy Chadwick, HOUSE OF LOVE

“full of floating melodies and dark textures” 
UNDER THE RADAR


“Simple Fires” reflects the concerns and realities of our shared, climate-connected world. The Canadian wildfires of 2023 saw several global cities (including Montreal and New York) report some of the worst air quality on record, causing widespread alerts and evacuations. The smoke not only impacted North America but also crossed the Atlantic, impacting the lives of Europeans. In response, Nicol ponders if what is done cannot be undone. 

“The farther we come, the closer we get to destruction…” Nicol laments, “Simple fires can be mended, but not the kind that’s burning up in me”. 
 
“Simple Fires” is accompanied by an animated official video by Quentin Delobel (Poppip Studio), which paints a moving picture of humans' destruction of nature. Of the music video, director Quentin says, “I followed the feeling of child-like naïveté conveyed in the song and came up with this imaginary yet unfortunately familiar world - one that ends with a dark real life twist.” Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdJgsDWxXWQ

Hallmarked with the kind of thoughtful lyricism and graceful melancholia that have become his calling cards, in his latest outing Alex Nicol casts a withering gaze upon a natural world being laid to waste at the hands of ignorance, governmental inaction, and corporate industrial greed.

Simple Fires

Alex Nicol - Simple Fires

song abt power imbalances in society

whisper in my ear, you know, the space between us thins
leave me with your empty responses while i pick at my skin

all your life, you’re always aiming for the sun
but you can see what you have done
and you’ve got everything you want
and when the world is left to rust 
and everybody else has gone
was it worth the fun?

ignore what’s right beside you, you know, the screams of a thousand souls
tease us with your empty old promises, while you take more control

all your life, you’re always aiming for the sun
but you can see what you have done
and you’ve got everything you want
and when the world is left to rust 
and everybody else has gone
was it worth the fun?

pick at my skin

The single is an emotive ode to the festive period experienced in the absence of a loved one. Reflecting the cold realisation of facing Christmas alone.
