Track 3 on the 'Let's Have a Feast' festive EP.

Yuletide 	
							 
And they came from across the lake					 		                  With fine ale and fine presents							 
And we gathered in our winter claithes				                   
Warmed ourselves on the hilltop bonfire        				                              And they stayed on the shortest day							            Watched the sun light the burial mound				                          
And we feasted like no other day							                  Yes we pass the goodwill round

****
Imagining winter celebrations long before Christianity in The Orkneys.  People would gather to see the Solstice sunlight shine deep into the Neolithic chambered cairn of Maeshowe.

Yuletide

Track 2 from the 'Let's Have A Feast' EP.

The Wrapping Paper Song
I remember dancing round the living room with you
Wrapping paper falling all about... like snow
It’s dark outside but the fire’s orange-bright
I look up to you as the cold of the winter blows

What’s that you say? 
"Today never mattered anyway"

If I had one wish 
I’d unwrap that day
And be with you again but knowing it won’t last
I’d remember everything 
I’d remember every little thing
Knowing it won’t last
I’d remember every little…

I remember running round the living room with you
Wrapping paper lying all about... like snow
It’s dark outside and the fire’s dying down
I still look up to you as the winters come and go

What’s that you say? 
"Today never mattered anyway"

I make myself sick believing things that never happen anyway
What’s it all for? 
I let them down and leave them out again
Cos that’s just what I do

If I had one wish I’d unwrap that day
And be with you again but knowing it won’t last
I’d remember everything 
I’d remember every little thing
I’d like to thank you 
Hope is coming to a living room near you...

Tape Interference

“I’ve been searching, for all the pieces.” Diving was recorded late at night out in the woods. It is a stuttering road trip lyrically inspired by author Jeff Noon’s diseased-information-overload novel, ‘Falling Out of Cars’. All the different layers of sound and information filtered through delay, reverb and tremolo into this one song recorded over a winter’s night.

"Waves of shimmering atmospherics." Primal Music Blog http://primalmusicblog.com/new-single-releases/new-single-corasandel-diving/ 

Continuing Corasandel’s work with local musicians, producers and labels, Diving is released digitally by Old Tin Box Recordings (http://www.oldtinbox.co.uk) in the UK. Diving is backed by the ambient B-side Tape Interference.  All instruments and saucepans played and produced by the band.

Blenefill 
Noun - Obscure English
Pronounced: Blen-ef-ill
1.Meaning 'Kindness is strength'.

The song was borne out of experimenting with tunings, delays and frequencies to try and capture the sounds we hear when out in the county of Lincolnshire. In a world where we are increasingly made to feel divided Corasandel believes that kindness is the new rebellion. One you can dance to. 

Blenefill is backed by the dreampop b-side We Play Forever.

As part of the band's ongoing work with local musicians, artists, producers and labels, 'Blenefill' is released digitally by Old Tin Box Recordings (www.oldtinbox.co.uk) in the UK. 

Written, recorded and mixed by the band. 
Percussion: Melvin Andersen

We Play Forever

Unison Mix is the first digital single from Corasandel’s debut five track EP, All The Hours Are One released on 26 April 2019.

The song builds on the band’s fascination with reverb and delay; a desire to mix experimental ambient textures with a driving three minute charge that draws on their love of the Cocteau Twins, Slowdive and early Mercury Rev. 

Written and recorded during the turmoil and division in the UK and across the world last year, Unison Mix lyrically strives to find common ground between people, looking for positivity. Alone we are vulnerable, together the world does not have to end.

Unison Mix

Corasandel present their most complete single to date - As In Always. The second single from upcoming debut EP All The Hours Are One, out as a physical 5 track compact disc on Friday 26 April 2019 from Old Tin Box Recordings.

Late in the night 
Out in the cold 
I'm tired 
Run down 
Your pills do all the talking 
Why can't we go home? 

I search for you 
Between the sheets 
You've gone 
Hooked up 
The TV does all your thinking 
I wish we'd just speak 

Woke up today 
And disagree 
Your streets are now mine 
The traffic cones won't keep me in line 
We're going to be free 

I would believe that everything is better 
Much brighter than they say 
As in always 
Fair play 

I would believe that everyone is finer 
Much greater than they know 
As in always 
We've a way to go 

I will believe it now 
It's all that you have seen 

I will believe it now 
It's just a crazy dream 

I will believe it now 
It's everything you are 

Oh, as in always 
You and I 
We will take the hit
