Curse Your Fail

Curse Your Fail (feat. Sebastien Grainger)

lyrics:

[Zoe Beaufay]

I need to sleep
I do not know why
I slept all night by a miracle
but today I feel like I won't
where's my phone?

I woke up at night crying
I thought it was a cold
but it was your lack haunting me
well,now I know

This is more dangerous than I thought it could be

Now I'm on the roof wanting to jump
waking up on the west coast wanting to run
maybe get hit by a car
keep as much distance as possible
all my expectations low

[Athena]

Makin a move
Im making a move
I feel like im new
I feel like im new
I'm takin’ a shot
It's all that i've got
So im makin a move
Hoping that i'll be brand new

Been stuck in my head all weekend
Thoughts dart through my mind like ping pong
And i tell you that i'm feeling kinda weak and
I'm hoping that it doesn't last long
Wow
I'd lie right now
And take a bow
Say that i'm fine
But i'm not feeling it right now

I woke up at night crying
I thought it was a cold
Im taking my precautions
So now you can let go

(been stuck in my head all weekend)
(and i tell you that i'm feeling kinda weak and)

Cant sleep im feeling kinda lonely
I feel like i don't even know me
I'm counting sheep on my ceiling
Never getting shut eye but if i look closely
Now
Then I might get out
(then i might get out)

I think I miss u feat.earth2athena

Gold Past Life

Cate Le Bon is an artist hailing from Carmarthenshire, rural West Wales. Be it on her more minimalist, acoustic-leaning 2009 debut album Me Oh My or critically acclaimed, liquid-riffed 2013 LP Mug Museum as well as 2016s Crab Day and the Mercury Award nominated Reward, Cate Le Bon’s solo work — and indeed also her production work, such as that carried out on the recent John Grant album, Boy From Michigan, or  Deerhunter's Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?  (4AD, January 2019) — has always resisted pigeonholing, walking the tightrope between krautrock aloofness and heartbreaking tenderness; deadpan served with a twinkle in the eye, a flick of the fringe and a lick of the Telecaster.

New album Pompeii bears a storied title summoning apocalypse, but the metaphor eclipses any “dissection of immediacy,” says Le Bon. Sonically minimal in parts, its lyrics jog between self-reflection and direct address. Written primarily on bass and composed entirely alone in an “uninterrupted vacuum,” Le Bon plays every instrument (except drums and saxophones) and recorded the album largely by herself with long-term collaborator and co-producer Samur Khouja in Cardiff, Wales.

The songs of Pompeii feel suspended in time, both of the moment and instant but reactionary and Dada-esque in their insistence to be playful, satirical, and surreal. From the spirited, strutting bass fretwork of “Moderation”, to the sax-swagger of “Running Away”; a tale exquisite in nature but ultimately doomed (The fountain that empties the world / Too beautiful to hold), escapism lives as a foil to the outside world. Pompeii’s audacious tribute to memory, compassion, and mortal salience is here to stay.
