I'm loving this as much as anything Molly Nilsson had done in the past five years. And she's still a genius. So, that must mean I'm really loving this. 

sweet voice.  i really like the retro vibe of this.

“‘This Is All I Need’ is about the positives of nurturing an adaptable persona”, explains band leader Padley. “Here our protagonist recognises that others will only open up to new ideas if initially they are rewarded sympathy for their current standpoint.

Something Better
2020

////////////////

I know what I’m expected to say
I guess you like it best that way
Yet again I think I’m trying to find
Something Better

You were laying on a hospital bed
I knew what coulda been instead
Suddenly, another one just like me
What a nightmare

Shouting out something obscene
30 strangers had been staring at me
Cause I couldn’t even hide it at all
How pathetic

It’s like picking traits right out of a bag 
Half of them I wish I’d give back
If you need me I’ll be trying to find
Something better

Somehow I would
Somehow I wouldn’t change
If sometimes I could just
Play the sideline, Pay me no mind

Trying not to say it’s the end
I wish my parents could be friends
But you can’t rewind to get what you want
Say the word, we’ll all go back in time

But then I get out of bed
Regretting all the shit that I said
Fucking crying out the name of a girl
That I’m dating 

Somehow I would
Somehow I wouldn’t change
If sometimes I could just
Play the sideline, Pay me no mind

Never Said

Never Alone Again, released on May 26th 2021

Written and performed by CIEL
Produced by Steven Ansell
Mastered by Robin Schmidt


Lyrics:

Tell me that I will
Never be alone again
Promise me that I will
Never feel so sad again

Baby I know it’s beyond you
These things come and go with time
There may be a darkness growing in me
When sunlight’s running out of time

I don’t know why it’s so hard to be
hard to be, hard to be
I don’t know why it’s so hard to be
hard to be, here

I hope that someday I will
Find stillness within these times
That somehow I could shine a light
When it’s moonless in the dead of night

I’m so crippled by memories
Often stuck in this tendency
trying not to feel much anymore

I don’t know why it’s so hard to be
hard to be, hard to be
I don’t know why it’s so hard to be
hard to be, here

Never Alone Again

‘I Might Have’ is the second single from A Place to Bury Strangers forthcoming EP, Hologram which will be released on their newly formed label, Dedstrange on July 16.  “I Might Have” is a fuzz-soaked sonic disaster in the best possible way. Past reflections collide with the brutality of a disintegrating world, stories of personal trauma, acceptance, and human failings emerge from the rubble of noise and destitute motorik rhythms. This is A Place To Bury Strangers at its most honest and unfiltered.   Hologram serves as an abstract mirror to the moment we live in and “I Might Have” smashes that mirror into a thousand pieces.

We are not music snobs. We prefer music connoisseurs.

With its members originating from The Netherlands, Spain and the UK, the indie-rock three piece CIEL ultimately met on the South Coast of England where they distilled their differing backgrounds and influences into grunge-pop finery. Straddling the creative baggage of three countries' scenes, whilst not really feeling like they belong to any of them, CIEL’s music has a nagging yet fresh, dark and sometimes quietly glorious quality to it. Drawing influences from garage rock, goth and shoegaze, the band’s upcoming work (produced by Blood Red Shoes' Steven Ansell) sees them reflect a moodier and grittier direction, yet still maintaining their established melodic pop essence. 

CIEL’s DIY work ethic shines through in every part of their work. Early on the band caught the eye of BBC 6’s Steve Lamacq who included them as a spotlight artist on his show. They gained further radio plays across the UK and US (BBC 6 Music, KEXP, WFUV, BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio) as well as loyal support from online publications including CLASH Magazine, Under The Radar and Earmilk. The trio soon flourished in the south of the UK, supporting the likes of Penelope Isles, Sasami and She Drew The Gun as well as selling out headline shows in London and Brighton.
