Sometimes Earth is hard. “Rocket To The Moon” is a spacey fantasy about escaping gravity for a more harmonious existence on the moon.

Rocket To The Moon (lyrics)

Rolling down the window
I can hear the echo
If I’m sleeping in the planetarium  
I don’t mind

Surfing on a rainbow
Hitchhike through the cosmos 
If I’m eating breakfast on a satellite
I’m alright

They think I’m a dreaming fool
I don’t really see it though
Or maybe I don’t wanna face it… and
Admit that I’d rather be
In alternate reality
Escaping the gravity maybe
On a rocket to the moon
Rocket to the moon

Psychedelic aliens
Cosmic color best friends
They want to crown you ruler of the universe 
And beyond

They think I’m a dreaming fool
I don’t really see it though
Or maybe I don’t wanna face it… and
Admit that I’d rather be
In alternate reality
Escaping the gravity maybe
On a rocket to the moon
Rocket to the moon

They think I’m a dreaming fool
I don’t really see it though
Or maybe I don’t wanna face it… and
Admit that I’d rather be
In alternate reality
Escaping the gravity maybe
On a rocket to the moon
Rocket to the moon

Why would I wanna stay awake
I could be traveling in space
I still got an empty seat baby
On my rocket to the moon

È una storia d’angoscia, ossessione, gesti ripetitivi: vai a lavorare, trova parcheggio, morditi le labbra, ripeti qualche vecchio trucco, fingi di provare sentimenti verso persone che non conosci davvero.
«A voice from the dark: “Relax, have some fun”». 
E il divertimento non è mai sembrato così disperato e inquietante come in Shopping List, il singolo che annuncia il ritorno dei bolognesi Big Cream e anticipa il loro secondo album, Hanging, in uscita per WWNBB e More Letters Records il prossimo 27 maggio.
«Abbiamo scritto Shopping List durante il secondo lockdown del 2020. Volevamo raccontare l’alienazione generata dalla routine, in particolare quella lavorativa. Azioni ripetute compulsivamente fino a perdere qualsiasi significato. La canzone mette in parallelo questi gesti meccanici e i pop-up pubblicitari: entrambi scorrono di fronte ai nostri occhi, senza nessun tipo di registrazione conscia. Nel testo si susseguono quindi parole slegate come in una lista della spesa, prive di qualsiasi legame logico. Pur sapendo che un’alternativa a questa quotidianità malsana esiste (“a blinding red sun”, dice un verso della canzone), preferiamo perpetuarla per autoindulgenza e debolezza».
Tutto questo si traduce in un suono cupo e aggressivo, un ritmo che incalza, chitarre che stridono fino a quando esplode il sax. Shopping List rappresenta una buona sintesi delle influenze che accompagnano la musica dei Big Cream oggi, dalla No Wave di James Chance, passando per il post-punk di Pere Ubu e Pylon, fino al post-hardcore degli Unwound e degli Hot Snakes.

Shopping List è stata registrata tra l’autunno 2020 e la primavera del 2021 al VDSS Studio e al Vacuum Recording Studio, rispettivamente da Filippo Strang ed Enrico Baraldi.

Big Cream - Shopping List

Second single from the forthcoming second album HYMNS, due later this year. 

FFO: Manchester Orchestra, Frightened Rabbit, Arcade Fire. 

Recorded in West Wales by the band. 

Produced in Toronto, Canada by Matt Lederman. Mastered by Ryan Morey (Arcade Fire, Half Moon Run). 

Laid back Death Cab-esque drum patterns and cool americana guitars, the new single from Broken Fires makes you want to roll down the window of your getaway car (a 1967 Pontiac by the way) and drive off into the spring sunset. Except it’s a song about the morbid human fascination with serial killers… 

Sharks is written looking down on a convicted man in the dock of a Swansea courtroom. Guitarist and singer Gareth explains: “I think I had been watching too many Netflix real crime series… but there has always been something curious to me about what runs through the mind of those that find themselves standing in the dock looking out at the jury”. 

The final guitars were layered up over beers in Earlsfield South London but keys, violins and vocals added in living rooms separately during the lockdowns of 2021. The tracks were sent to Canada for finishing touches with mixing by Matt Lederman (Rural Alberta Advantage, !!!) and mastering by Ryan Morey (Arcade Fire). 

The laid back groove in the first half of Sharks reveals a different side to Broken Fires. But with what is becoming a trademark move, the song builds to a shattering crescendo with layered violins and enough guitar tracks to make Trent Reznor twitch. 

If you like a killer melody this is for you.

Spin Cycle
 
It’s been a long time since you washed your clothes. The pile of laundry in your bedroom creeps further towards you every time you hurl another sweat-filled sock at it. Two, three weeks now? Excuses keep flowing. 
 
‘I don’t have time.’ 
‘Fabric softener is too expensive.’  
‘Those pants can be reused.’
 
You shouldn’t reuse pants. You know you shouldn’t reuse pants. 
 
A month of non-washing passes and it becomes too much. Some of your family aren’t talking to you anymore. Your partner’s eyes are starting to wander. Even your milkman has shunned you. 
 
You do the right thing - book a half-day off work - and do some laundry. 
 
Click goes the door of the washing machine and it’s off. You stand back, impressed with yourself. 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
Slowly at first, a warm feeling of bliss starts to grow and envelope the soul. 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
Gone is the nausea! Ridden are you of the guilt, the embarrassment, the social pariah-status! 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!
 
Round and round and round, it goes.
