Your Endless You

While I Was Sleeping

Nous passons, jusqu'à demain, demain..
La ville s'enfouie, nous marchons sur des restes,
Poussières, décombres, des guerres.
Sous sols, structures de fer,
Couloirs du temps lointain,
Sous d'autres cieux, d'autres dieux.
Oubliée l'histoire, dérive de l'humain,
Autres humains..
La ville engloutit, s'ennuie..

FIAT MUNDI VETUSTA RUINA

extrait de "Palermo Shooting" de Wim Wenders et la voix de Dennis Hooper

I'm here
I'm the exit
There's no exit from the exit.

No Exit,la ville...

I think I have reached a point where I have run out of ideas for track titles. I ended up calling this "Home Sweet Home" because it has a romantic ending, but then I had to go and spoil it with a picture of Wayne and Waynetta Slob at home. The picture will most likely put you off.

I made this song live in 2018 by recording a couple of tracks on the loopstation with guitar, reverb, and delay. shame not to be able to divide the tracks for a more accurate editing. but I am still very satisfied with the final result.

Less Concepts

Making music described as “glitter bursting from every chorus” and combining “the ominous glimmer of synth-wave with the maximalist fun of Carly Rae Jepsen’s ’80s throwbacks”, Carla J Easton is a pop songwriter with a back catalogue that would make most people envious.

From the Myspace-occupying Futuristic Retro Champions, through scrappy pop upstarts TeenCanteen and a record under the name ETTE, to the  the solo albums Impossible Stuff (shortlisted for the 2019 SAY Award and produced by Arcade Fire cohort Howard Bilerman) and WEIRDO , Carla J Easton writes essential indie pop. 

Sitting proudly alongside The Vaselines (who she plays keys for on tour), BMX Bandits (who have covered her songs) and Belle and Sebastian, with whom she co-wrote the track “Best Friend” she is considered alongside the best Scottish music  has had to offer over the past few decades.

WEIRDO is a record that Bandcamp  described as “all volume needles buried in the red, glitter bursting from every chorus.” The Line of Best Fit praised its “maximalist” tendencies while hinting that Scotland has found its own answer to the pop titans Carly Rae Jepsen and Taylor Swift and Pitchfork called it “bubblegum pop [with] the scrappy glamour of a homemade theatrical production”. Finding her voice, Carla J Easton is in the position now where she is consistently releasing music that’s talked about in terms of albums of the year garlands in Scotland, and beyond.
