Just Human After All

Written by G.K. Gavan "The Galway Poet" for the English music hall performer Harry Clifton in the 19th century, Rocky Road to Dublin is a 9/8 slip jig. Time has changed the lyrics and has abbreviated the verses. It is now a standard for many Irish bands and performers. This is my own arrangement with percussion played on the face of the guitar.

Engineering and Mastering: John Lawrence, Nant Y Benglong

Rocky Road To Dublin

A rough mix from my recent studio session at Blue Moon Studios, near Banbury. This is Hi the Cuckoo, a song about transformation and rebirth.

-------

‘Kid’ is the sophomore release from Connecticut based duo Violent Mae. Rising out of Becky Kessler’s guitar driven songs, the record is a document of a band coming into its own. The duo defies expectations by creating a dynamic fuzzy low-rock sound with opening tracks “In The Sun” and “In My Ring”. Guitars play both atmospheric and bass backbone parts while drums take on melodious, yet driving roles throughout. Found sounds are heard in the tracks that they recorded after hearing them during playbacks like a ringing in the heating vents from one of the rooms where they recorded. On title track “Kid”, they strip the music down to the barest of elements and Becky’s low reverberant vocals take the listener on an aching melancholic journey. A certain sadness permeates the record but the listener can always find a silver lining sense of warmth, love and strength. On “Flame”, Becky sings “better hold onto me tight / I’m ready to go / straight into the stars / we’ll blow them all away” and that’s an apt description of Violent Mae and their new record ‘Kid’. It builds to the modern anthem “Neon Halos” and sing along “oh oh well oh hell oh” and coming down to the earth with the personal lament “Birthday.”
Violent Mae was never intended to be a band. Becky asked Floyd to record and produce her first solo album, and as soon as they hit the studio, chemistry and dynamics between the two sparked the evolution of an artistic partnership. The self-titled debut initially released in 2013 garnered national attention and was re-released early in 2015 when it hit college radio riding a wave into the Top 100 for 6 weeks on the CMJ Radio chart. Expectations are high for Violent Mae’s ‘Kid to achieve even greater heights.

Mountains And Sea

Die A Little Death

Foreign Fields  

Word is you've gone missing, another sketchy plan
Clothes that you were wearing, cash you had on hand
You've left behind a lover to try and understand  
Why you'd trade love for a foreign land.

Chorus 
Now you're out walking in foreign fields
Forsaking loyal lovers with missionary zeal  
Your guardian angel making sure your heart is safe and sealed
From the heartaches in those foreign fields

You like the anonymity of foreign fields
Foreign eyes aren't trained to see the sins that you conceal
You're drawn to other wanderers and how they make you feel
When you lay down in your foreign fields

Chorus 
You've been out walking in foreign fields
Searching the horizon with missionary zeal 
Your guardian angel making sure your heart is safe and sealed
From the heartaches in those foreign fields

You're somewhere in Antalya now, penniless again
The truth is out about you, and yet you still pretend
To hold all of the high cards when all that's in your hand
Is a heartache from a foreign land

Chorus 
You've been out walking in foreign fields
Searching for the answers with missionary zeal 
But it's your guardian angel missing now   and the vacancy reveals	
Just a foreigner in foreign fields
Your just a foreigner in foreign fields

Latin was my first love, and music is my second. I've utterly fallen for those of the soulful, creative, inspiring and inciting kind. The one composed with heart and soul, the one performed with passion and aplomb. Searching for a way to express my love for and enthusiasm about music, I've found twitter is a decent and effective place to do so, yet given my wordy nature 140 characters one day simply didn't suffice to promote the music I enjoy anymore. This is how my music blog - carpe carmina - came into being (a heartfelt thank-you goes out to my favourite UK band High/Low for the encouragement to start writing about music, to my all time favourite band for so many years by now, Midnight Hour, for making me realize my affection for music and my wish to help those artists in whose talent I believe in, and to all those people who read my blog, who recommend and submit music for it). Find me under @NessiHolt on twitter and make sure to listen to @RadioKC to catch a playlist of mine each tuesday at 10pm (UK). Listen to Radio Kaos Caribou, Dr. Bones music show and Dave Monk's BBC Introducing Merseyside in general. It's worth it, it's where I - among others - find the music I eventually embossom.
