Emmeline

A Knowing look
the ground it shook
confusion from your eyes
Tell me what you've seen
Where noone else has been

Camouflaging
entourage
disguising an arrival

Future fairy queen
All in emerald green

And Emmeline why did you find?
Emmeline you're on my mind

Ooo oo oo oo oo oo oo ooh
And I've got to know
Where is it that you -

Nobody but tell it from her side
Laughter lines portrait
A lifetime now to paint

Emmeline you've got the tie
Generate your own design

Ooo oo oo oo oo oo oo ooh
And I've got to know
Where is it that you go?
And I've got to know

Written and recorded by Rebecca M (Cogwheel)

2014 Bits

Emmeline

Herrings, Red (Cycles Repeat) 

Have you caught your own line
Felt the bit betwixt the teeth
Did the hook
not hurt enough with no bleed?
Mission complete
Rescue mission incomplete

As you cast wide your bets entangled In self defeat
Do you weary
At Herrings red In the key
Of the map
That you don't read?

Do you detest the traits in others you deplore most in yourself 
Watching yourself as if on screen
Cycles will repeat themselves 
If you don't stop them now.

Well the terms are always ever negotiating
As the tired lighthouse keeper keeps
Flashing fog away from your sleep.

Cycles repeat, cycles don't have to repeat.

PRESS
“With ghostly influences ranging from Benjamin Britten to Nirvana via Tom Cora, Cogwheel carves our deep string drone folk-rock with memorably emotive tunes. Any band who uses an egg slicer as a harp has got to be worth a listen, right?” – Flux Magazine

“… primitivism of the most beautiful sort … Cogwheel are set to become one of the most exciting bands to come out of the underground in years.” Review of Cress – Junkmedia

“… music that tip toes through the daisies one minute and is slashing at the pretty little flowers with a big spade the next … [Cogwheel] are going places.” – Review of Cress – My New Favourite Band

“[Cress sounds like] the lovechild of Polly Harvey and Captain Beefheart, with Shostakovich as godfather. [In Ghostwriter,] Rebecca reveals her versatility, singing in a limpid, blanched style redolent of Sinead O’Connor … bleakly wonderful.” – Review of Cress – Oxfordbands

“Murkily intriguing sketches of domestic horror and emotional ferocity, evocative of childhood nightmares spilling from dark places.” – Wears The Trousers

“Rebecca flits between tender melodies and PJ Harvey-esque growling while Tom Parnell [litters] the music with spasmodic episodes of frantic, screeching cello … gleefully taking a chainsaw to a bowl of trifle at a children’s party.” – The Skinny

“Kitchen is so full of sound that you’ll double check that you don’t have two different tracks playing simultaneously. Power In paper is the EP highlight, a pensive cello-bolstered drama … Greenhorn is an edgy, untrustworthy record …” – Artrocker

"She [Cogwheel] takes the sombre folk-pop path out into the fields then proceeds to get lost in the woods, taking the song – ‘Herrings, Red’ – from simple, almost primitive folk lullaby into an almost gothic pagan lament – plucked electric guitar and plaintive yet mournful vocals. It’s a fragile song seemingly conjured from autumn leaves, personal reflection and uncertainty, offering just the merest glimpses of hope amid the rumination, like Emma Ruth Rundle or Lingua Ignota at their most bare-bones and insular." - Nightshift, February 2022

“Thats a really good song that morning chorus song…gorgeous voice darling and – what a song!“– Courtney Love
