All you thinking now -
something to be proud -
lands in purple trail of meadows -

but the scent of billion flowers
looks like rotten when i get 
close enough to touching them

How could your shadow
from the gallows - rule the world
howl in a narrow 
flow of a bloody - open heart

On the bliss the sound
everything goes loud
till the night will load a fever

And the phantom at your door -
never, never leaves you  sleep -
when you ask to be alone - 
How did your trouble - 
to end up silent , in my arms
i come to follow - 
in the shallow of your heart

when the devils on the roof
are keep alive and build the frost
in a fleeting sense of truth
miasmas rise from the past
while they stun sense in the glass
moorings drop like rags

i come to follow ,
in the shallow of your arms
i am the sorrow in a hollow robbed heart

FLVN brings an array of darkened synth sounds and heavy rhythms to his chugging new ‘Sensaciones Platonicas’ EP on bORDEL Records.

Frenchmen Flavien Gaubert aka FLVN grew up on a mix of Bowie and Radiohead, the noise of Sonic Youth and the bold bass of Soviet Soviet, and all that comes out in his own music. It's a new and raw take on techno-disco that is psychedelic and full of surprises on labels like Night Noise and Playground. Now he steps up to bORDEL Records with two guest vocalists.

The first is Blaues Einhorn aka Charlie Lumberjack on the track 'Freaks,' a stiff, jarring drum machine rhythm with plenty of post-punk angst and crashing hits. The deadpan vocal adds menace while the fat bass stomps on and industrial sounds in the distance up the tension. It's a brilliantly austere cut. Argentina-born singer and producer Abby Knives then brings occult charm and libidinous overtones to 'Sensaciones Platonicas'. This one has another stark and mechanical groove with booming bass and cold wave synth chords. It's a seriously heavyweight track with a twisted late-night energy that is finished to perfection by the seductively whispered vocals.

This is a haunting yet alluring new offering from the dark synth wizard that is FLVN.

tears away

This is a fan-made remix of a band from Macclesfield where I grew up. In my view they had it all - great songs, great musicians and a strong local following, but they never got signed by a big label and never got the support they deserved. That said, I think Stock, Aitken and Waterman almost signed them (who knows what would they would have done to the sound of Officers and Gentleman). Lesser bands did get a deal and we talk about some of these bands now as though they are gods etc. Getting a good record deal along with the right level of promotion made a big difference to bands in the 1980s. 

To find out more about Officers and Gentlemen can visit their bandcamp page. They are still touring. Check them out.
