Ducks Ltd. - Fit To Burst

The 'anthemic' track odes to the distress that follows 'mixed-signals' within 'love' and relationships. Captured through the passionate, angsty instrumentals and moody vocals of the quintet.

Hush Puppy’s debut single, “Too Cold” – recorded/mixed by Dave Parkin out of, BlackBird Sound Studio. With mastering by Brian Lucey of, Magic Garden Mastering.

Too Cold

Following the release of their debut EP ‘Scene Change’, Sydney-based duo Salarymen have dropped a new single ‘All in Vain’ and accompanying video via Scenic Drive Records, as premiered on Triple J Home & Hosed. 

‘All in Vain’ represents a new era for Salarymen, transitioning into a more sophisticated sound, while maintaining their signature harmonies and synth-driven rhythms. The song makes an instant impact with undeniably catchy melodies and bright, summery riffs, which build up to an emphatic ending and leave the listener wanting more. Placing Renee’s songwriting abilities front and centre, ‘All in Vain’ rounds out with a set of powerful, climbing vocal lines, which reach dizzying heights.

Co-vocalist and bassist Renee de la Motte explains the meaning behind the song:

“All in vain is a frank reflection on how much social media has crept into our lives, and placed pressure on us to look better and be present, all of the time. As a society, it has increased our narcissistic tendencies and driven us to compete with other people. What someone puts out on Instagram might look amazing, but in many cases they can be deeply insecure and unhappy with themselves. These platforms have become a constant force reminding people of what they lack, and this track is an uplifting reminder not to worry about what people think of you on the internet. You’re cool the way you are!”

Not Alone

Pequeños Milagros

(símbolo: ternura / gratitud / belleza escondida en lo cotidiano)

[Verso 1]
No en el fuego ni en el clamor,
ni donde brilla el resplandor.
Sino en la mano que te tocó,
en el regreso… sin estar solo.

[Verso 2]
Una lágrima que limpia el gris,
una risa suave, un porqué feliz.
Sin banderas ni canción —
solo queda el corazón.

[Estribillo]
🕯️ Pequeños milagros, callados y fieles,
se esconden entre lo que tú ya tienes.
En cada suspiro, en cada señal —
no están lejos… están acá.
Tan cerca… están acá.

[Interludio instrumental]
(harpa o piano minimalista, atmósfera cálida)

[Verso 3]
Buscamos signos en lo celestial,
pero el amor nos habla sin igual.
Una palabra, una taza de té —
una majestad que no se ve.

[Estribillo – con armonía final]
🕯️ Pequeños milagros, callados y fieles,
se esconden entre lo que tú ya tienes.
En cada suspiro, en cada señal —
[ bridge]
no están lejos… están acá.
Tan cerca… están acá.

[Final – susurrado o solo musical]
No hay que buscar tan lejos…
los milagros… están contigo.

pequeños milagros nuevos.

Peter Gabriels Dream

Chime School is the project of San Francisco musician Andy Pastalaniec. Endlessly charmed by 80s indie and its 60s forbearers (and any record with a 12-string guitar), Andy cut his teeth as a drummer with SLR labelmate Odd Hope in their early group Pink Films; later with shoegazers Cruel Summer, and currently with indiepop outfit Seablite. But it wasn't until he was gifted a cassette 4-track portastudio "almost as a dare," that he came out from behind the kit to write and record his own material.

Aptly named for its autodidact roots, Chime School pays homage to the formative jangle of The Byrds by way of early Primal Scream and The Springfields; the production and pop sensibility of the Biff Bang Pow and The Razorcuts; and the spirit of great singles labels like Creation, Postcard and Sarah. From the dreamy album opener "Wait Your Turn" to the driving jangle of "Dead Saturdays" and the lush, epic "Gone Too Fast" we can see that we're in the presence of a very talented writer indeed, someone with a lifetime's worth of pop fandom just waiting to burst out in song.
