Hey! Check out FSK BULLIES in Mullins, SC for spring break near Myrtle Beach, where life's a beach every day all day.

This started life as a demo for FAWM 2020, and the inspiration came from a line I read in a local paper about a homeless person going door to door begging

Lyrics:
a man described as a homeless santa
seen knocking on doors in the area
he's an opportunist
oh yeah
'cause for him it ain't christmas
it ain't even close

local paper....
what's news today?

a man described as a hopeless romantic
caught taking photos in the quiet carriage
he's an opportunist
oh yeah
oh yeah

local paper....
what's news today?
vocal stanger
what are your views today?

Local Paper

A demo for FAWM 2024. Colab @kajati

you know we’re the exception neither thrown nor caught
i know my same old joke isn’t funny anymore
can’t be bothered giving up
too tired to call for help
so baby give me up and find someone else

I’m a shadow
I’m a shadow
I’m a shadow
a shadow of my former self

I read a book by you
about a better place
in it I lay beside you
studying your face

we are brittle
crack or crumble
in that looming battle
with thrown and caught

i'm always throwing
you're always catching
we are only doing what we were taught

I read a book by you
about a better place
in it I lay inside you
stroking your face

A Book by You

Polaroid Notes is a German artist named Andreas, who lives in the countryside between Munich and the Alps. In addition to his work as an ambient dub electronic musician under the name Kraut Sounds, he started Polaroid Notes almost ten years ago as a side project for contemporary classical music, but in recent times it has become the main focus of his artistic work.
 
Polaroid Notes has released music on Germany based labels Büro für Erdrotation, Drone Works International, Weber & Alcantu and soon on Licht-ung. He has also released albums on Whitelabrecs, including Unsung Memories (2017), Home Diaries 014: Moonlight Sessions and Ghost Sounds (both 2020) and Cloud Anthems (2022). He also released on Whitelabrecs predecessors Tesselate Recordings and Audio Gourmet.
 
Quiet Rooms came about during a strange phase of deliberate and involuntary personal changes and attempts to refocus. Moving back home after nearly eight years of working far away and dealing with one of the most annoying things a musician can experience ; tinnitus.
 
Quiet Rooms was therefore initially a kind of self-healing process to get back onto a decent track with music, focusing on slow-burning, minimalist piano lines, gentle melodies and lots of space in between the individual notes. The tracks ‘Quiet Rooms’ and ‘Two Wrongs Won’t Make It Right’ were the first pieces to be recorded and these set the direction for what was to come in the rest of the album.
 
Everything was improvised and recorded at a time when it felt right. One particular idea was to keep the tracks as transparent as possible, so that light and atmosphere could shine through as if through a piece of gauze. Later, electric piano, reversed loops and some additional electronic and field recording sounds were added. And that’s it. The music is focused, dense and uplifting in its quest for deep contemplation. It instills a sense of serenity with a gently absorbing, balanced stillness.
 
All recordings were made in the evening and at night, with the lights dimmed while the artist's cat slept gently next to the recording equipment. The individual titles of the twelve tracks reflect the mood and hope in which the album was created. What you hear on the album is a carefully curated extract from several hours of recordings. The photos that can be seen across the four gatefold sleeves of the packaging were staged presentations of quiet rooms inside the artist’s home. For us the listener, they serve as fictitious environments to place ourselves, in which to escape into a quiet space.

Coco Morier - Ambulance

Coco Morier has been absorbing musical styles her whole life: Early influences of folk and country from her father led to teenage fantasies of Lower East Side punk and hip-hop, followed by the avant-garde electronic scene in Europe with her band Electrocute, a tour as Charlotte Gainsbourg’s lead guitarist, and ultimately success as a singer-songwriter and producer of pop music in L.A. She’s composed songs for Britney Spears (5 songs over 3 albums), Icona Pop, Demi Lovato, Ellie Goulding, Selena Gomez, Hayley Kiyoko to name a few. Coco’s compositions have been featured in film, television, and video games such as the Spongebob Squarepants Movie, Broad City, Grey’s Anatomy, Mistresses, Radio Shack, Verizon, Crayola, Victoria’s Secret, Clairol, Fifa, and The Sims.

Her debut solo LP “Dreamer” (June 2016) was met with rave reviews.

“[Morier’s music] ranges from sleek synth-pop to lo-fi garage-rock, but it’s all suffused with giddy, mesmerizingly sugary melodies.” – LA Weekly

“Dreamy pop tunes with a sexy ’70s vibe, like if Lykke Li hit up that roller rink from Beyoncé’s “Blow” video” – Elle

“Coco has a natural ability to write an immediate pop hook, heightened by her seductive voice” – BULLETT

“One of pop’s best kept secrets” – V Magazine
