The robotic vocal hook on which ‘Submarine’ hinges is disorienting - much like life in Middle England, as a matter of fact. Here we find Lucky Jones turning himself inside-out over a bug-eyed electro stomp, struggling to stay afloat as the water rises all around him. In fact, he’s going under right now ...
 
… But Lucky soon finds that there is life below the surface. Through the dark waters he can see light above him. Seems like the only way from here is up - the question is, does he give up or does he keep swimming?

Happens a Lot

We’re walking through the sea spray,
finding little rainbows
and brightly coloured plastic
is getting in-between our toes.

We’re blowing up a sand storm
kicking pebbles and shells
and brightly coloured plastic
is everywhere we go.

And it goes to show how far it flows
when we throw away our harmless little trinkets. 
You wouldn’t really think it.  

We’re playing with the seagulls,
they’re screeching ‘cause they know
the brightly coloured plastic
ain’t as bright as it glows.

The colours are fantastic
but the damage is drastic
and this brightly coloured plastic
is getting up our nose.

And it goes to show how long it lasts.
Some of these brightly coloured things
have come a long way from the past.

So when you cast away your cares and woes,
just think for a minute about where that plastic goes.

We’re walking on the shoreline
thinking how the tide turns,
waiting for a sea change
when one day we might learn.

We’re sitting at the seaside
having lovely daydreams,
hoping for a future
where this beach stays clean.

sisi-wazee-tupendane,

'The Moon' is a mellowed out dream pop tune made for a lounge act in space. The reverb-jangled guitars flow with the rhythm section’s tight bass melody and laid back beat (by guest drummer Dan Allaire of Brian Jonestown Massacre, Darker My Love). The slide guitar and lead-singer Tommy Danbury's baritone vocals tell a melancholy tale of love lost in a dream.

The Mountain Will Come To You

Contemptible Shrew what have they done to you?
Contemptible Shrew I used to know you.
I am your soul, am your mind and your brain  
But not your mouth or your eyes

What can you do when heroes tow the line?
What can you do when you are trying to 
Forget the things that really turn you off?

Contemptible Shrew I miss you I really do
We were combined, intertwined through thick and thin
Why won’t you let me back in?

What can you do when heroes tow the line
What can you do when you are trying to 
Escape the things that really hurt you most?

I never knew that I was lilac blue
And even though I’ve felt so very yellow
I have to say the green grows heavy on me
And I can’t escape
I can’t forget
I can’t escape.

Contemptible Shrew - I love you - I really do
But I don’t always like you
I don’t always understand.

Ceitidh Mac - Birds

A welshborn tynesider, Ceitidh Mac is a Newcastle based alt.folk cellist/singer with a progressive twist to her music. Growing up in the wilds of Pembrokeshire before heading North, she’s been carving a name for herself across the North East and beyond. Ceitidh is pronounced Katie, spelt the Gaelic way. Think ceilidh with a T. 

While the folk influence is prominent in her songs, the smoky style and lo-fi studio sound combines with a contemporary electronic edge, embellished by unusual instrumentation. Her live show is an innovative take on traditional and alternative folk songs, sitting alongside her own original material which explores topics ranging from illuminating everyday experiences to subjects of deeper self reflection.
