"Girl on Fire" by Chick Quest from their 2015 debut album "Vs. Galore".

www.chickquest.com
https://chickquest.bandcamp.com/album/vs-galore

Girl on fire make my heart skip beats just like a stone
Girl on fire make my heart skip beats just like a stone
Obedient to chaos scared to pieces at the thought of left alone
Girl on fire like an old friend that's lost and gone for good
Girl on fire like a fantasy that's lost and gone for good

Girl made of metal, made of makeup, made of norms
Slip out the back door (somehow), girl confused and tangled like a storm
You see it now, you see it now, and then it's gone for good
You see her now, you see her now, and then she's gone for good
But the look, the feel— the girl was never really there at all.

"Somebody Call a Doctor" by Chick Quest from their 2015 debut album "Vs. Galore".

https://chickquest.bandcamp.com/album/vs-galore

The words on your tongue make a heartbeat run amok
and every single night I'm fighting from inside a shadow
that’s moving like a ghost down in between your walls and alleys
and tapering at the end the moment's gone gone gone.

You're angry because this isn't what you want.
The boring city people are a haunt.
How many more lives have you got?
I can't say I know.

A bitter stream of thoughts are pouring out like leaky memories
in undulating hemorrhages of friendship miscarriages
or a giant big hand from the closet of the damned
that pulls you back pulls you back into a bad dream.

Somebody Call a Doctor

Somebody Call A Doctor

Exit Strategy
Music and lyrics by Ryan White (BMI)

Help me
I’m stuck inside this airport
My friends are ghosts

Sundays
Bones grinding slowly to a halt
Job’s a mess

Traffic
There's lightning caught inside this jar
No escape from the doom

The girl in the magazine has it all.
Beaches and French cuisine, vomit sprawl.
We wish you all the luck on your journey.

Meanwhile
A feeling something’s gone awry
Self esteem dream

No time
The city breathes another sigh
Letting go

Cornered
I’ve been living like wallpaper
Things have changed for the strange

The girl in the magazine has it all.
I’m sorry if this is mean: won’t miss you all.
We wish you all the luck on your journey.
Have a nice day.

Savant Garde
Music and lyrics by Ryan White (BMI)

How many brain cells?  Don’t need to think about it.
The perfect galaxy?  Don’t need to think about it.
Most vivid color?  Don’t need to think about it.
I’ll write a think piece!  Don’t need to think about it.

I’m gonna check you out.
I’m gonna check you out.
I’m gonna check you out.
I’m wanna check you out out out out alright.

The king has spoken: everything that you're doing is wrong
Don’t feel the notion of emotion that is there in the song
Your UV needle zigzag noise marathon
Ain't at the forefront of cool junk that I’ve hit upon
The hypocritics come out, don’t need to think about it
Your punk offends me somehow, don't need to think about it
Circle jerk scene appends all the trends and then
Pretends to know their value even though the value offends.

How many major chords?  Don’t need to think about it.
Rows in my database?  Don’t need to think about it.
What’s in a masterpiece?  Don’t need to think about it.
I’ll square the circle!  Don’t need to think about it.

Savant Garde

Down in a Crypt
Music and lyrics by Ryan White (BMI)

Down in a crypt my life depicts
All the gloom and macabre in a Karloff flick.
The gray malaise has spent all its days
And now it’s time for something that will raze this phase.

Down in a crypt my love gets stripped
Under the sex and the ground where the rhythm’s kept.
The raw, untamed, incandescent profane
Lose control of their soul in this arcane domain.

Down in the shit, the nit and the grit
Where moving like a human means you dance a bit,
The epidermis sweats and the heart’s divine
While shaking to a Belgrade bomb in common time.

Cyrillic skeleton dance
Cyrillic skeleton trance
I cannot speak your language but I know know know that I’m home.

Down in a Crypt

Dreamy pop act Bam Spaceys second single leading up to the album "Eden". Witch angelic vocal coos and light-footed deep-techno framework, thrusting itself from one soundscape to another, "Avstånd och Skog" are crafted from Bam Spaceys trademark sound.

Cash Only it says on Side A, like a warning sign
on a door to an establishment where only hard
money counts. Whoever enters the song stands in
a room filled with tears and broken dreams.
Nevertheless, it is pleasantly warm in the room. The
haze of liberal promises of independence and
mobility is still breathable there - knowing that it is
just this sweet air that is going to set your lungs on
fire and frazzles them. And this is how Cash Only
sounds like: like Americana played by blacks!
Soulful. Deep. Cool. Again and again Cash Only.
Day in, day out Cash Only. Cash Only above
everything...and the money is charmed away.
Payback follows on...

Swear I'm Good At This

Diet Cig - Tummy Ache

Hiding
I know I can't do
I just wanted more time with you
How so?
Laid my roots for once
I just wanted more time with you

Bound to one another
Can't disclaim
But we act alone

Holding back
I know I do
I just want to learn about the truth
When no one is around
What can I do?
Just wanted more time with you

Bound to one another
Can't disclaim
But we act alone

And it all remains
We are strangers to one another
And it all remains
We are strangers to one another
We are strangers
We are, we are
We are strangers
We are, we are
We are strangers

Bound to one another
Can't disclaim
But we act alone

Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation - Sister Green Eyes (Single Version)

To coincide with their up & coming tour, Josefin Öhrn +
The Liberation will be releasing a reworked version of
their sultry album track, “Sister Green Eyes”, this will
be the bands third single from their much lauded album
2016 album Mirage.

Right from the outset, “Sister Green Eyes” sensuously
throbs to a more Eastern drive, with an sedated ‘Velvets’
droned melody, a fluctuating groove straight out of the
‘CAN’ little black book, it flirts around with the hue of a
half-goned tranced-out Siouxsie Sioux .

Richly hypnotic, the tribal procession of the tracks
groove, more predominant than the album version,
enamelled with Josefin’s almost broken breathless
vocals, progresses like an oscillating raga as if the
man machine spirit of recently deceased
Jaki Liebezeit was soundtracking an eyelid movie.

As the band explains “Sister Green Eyes” was inspired
by the Japanese word “Shinrinyoku” which is
sometimes translated and often described as
“Forest Bathing”, where submersing oneself so deeply
into the atmosphere of the forest or in the band’s
case, the Swedish ‘Ocean and Mountains’, that the
experience is rejuvenating and restorative so showing
you a way that can often seem lost or out of reach and
Josefin’s vocals encapsulate that.

Molly Burch // Wrong For You

Lord Youth is the songwriting project of Micah Blaichman from Queens, NY. Gray Gardens is the first song off a self titled EP, released through BB*ISLAND for Europe March 24th 2017. (As 6 track 10"vinyl or 8 track digital). Vinyl pre-order: http://bbislandmusic.com/shop/lord-youth-debut-10inch-vinyl


The upcoming EP, Lord Youth, was recorded with producer Anders Christophersen in Berlin in the summer 2014, in sessions that were as methodical as they were experimental. It’s sound was greatly influenced by the mid-summer purchase of a Chilton Talentmaker, an optical-disk keyboard that was a copyright-infringing counterfeit of Mattel’s Optigan Organ. Another inspiration was a large stained-glass window that bathed the studio in reds and greens and blues. Other inspirations were Skip James, the kraut-rock band Can’s record Ege Bamyasi, and the writings of William Vollmann.

the sunday experience:
„this has been haunting our headspace like no one’s business of late, the way it croons and wallows, a lonely bar bore rambling twisted love notes whilst stirring from out of the neglected smoky haze of a chewed cigar and a shot of bourbon. This is the creaking howl of ‘gray gardens’ the lead out track from a rather spiffing self-titled 10-inch EP by Lord Youth, a heart heavy noir set ghostly echo from a monochrome pop past all crystal tipped in a shadow lining parade of forgotten shanty-fied gospels and the shell piercing mournful classicism of a lost song craft, which all told gather conspiratorially in a huddle made up of Tindersticks, The Orson Family and Black Heart Procession types…..“

Lyrics:
I'm inconvenient for you, hun
You wouldn't have me any other way
I leave your love out in the sun
So you can clean up after me
The smell is growing on my skin
And i think 

That I'm
In over my head 

I lay in bed all weekend crying
Even though i wasn't feeling blue
I should have told you I was lying
Just to get emotion out of you
I'm trying hard to not succumb
To myself

But I'm
In over my head

I told you I could make anything at all
When i met you in that upcycled tenement hall
I've been working very hard to live up to what i said
Now i wish that I was somebody else instead
Living as a twin but feeling like a child
The composite life has been hurting for a while
You're usually around and when you're missing I bleed
You're everything I hate and everything I need

Cuz I'm
In over my head

Lyrics
Stay in bed, he said to me, 
I’m off on tour, be back next week. 
I hate waking up without him,
by my side. 

Miss him already,
miss him already. 

Baby, won’t you come on home,
to me. 
Baby, won’t you come on home,
to me. 

I miss the times where we would laugh so hard, 
we’d cry, looking through trees at the sky, so high, 
so high. 
I miss the times where we could lay in bed, 
all day and night. 

Miss him already, 
miss him already. 

Baby, won’t you come on home,
to me. 
Baby, won’t you come on home,
to me. 
Baby, won’t you come on home, 
to me.

For Now
