A energetic electronic Pop song soaring high in the sky 

Fly My Plane

He is here there and everywhere, he breaks up my day with surprises of roses on my window ledge...twinkly piano in the middle and then the guitar takes it away....gently weeping to the end

God is My Lover

Typical Innit? First you want me and really, I'm not that bothered...then after we get it on anyway, it is I who wants more of you, but alas, your interest has dwindled and I am left un-expectantly bereft...

We have tried to use every corny technical audio wave reference there is in order to tell this story of un-requited Love....sorry about that

R U Receiving Me?

It's everything you'd want to do to and with the one you love...until you don't want to anymore for whatever reason. It's got a bit of gorgeous Harp in it, a sumptuous Synth Bass line and a luscious sudden unexpected chord shift to the chorus.

Love Want Need Hold

Dub Reggae Feel Cowboy Racer Stylie, Just listen to me...no back chat please...it's not a competition...

Listen, Don't Answer

An instrumental introduction, full of what sound like weird hollow animal noises, followed by a journey through a vocal exploration of the words ah, ooh and na

Cowboy Disco

About The Sultan's Elephant Extravaganza....sounds a little bit like Bjork's Venus as a Boy, but only a little bit. It's also about a Black and Blue Heart and the feeling of sadness that surrounds the loss of someone. Sometimes you need to feel the sadness and then set her free in a rocket.

Who Are You?

Thoughtful Brooding Sad Epic Beautiful. Have hope! Some day you will be feeding Swans and Ducks and Geese...

Love Stationary

Dark Dark Dark Closure is ever there was any

Forever

You may have heard of Marijne van der Vlugt, she was a presenter at MTV Europe who left to sing in the indie band Salad.  If so then you’ll remember that Salad were a 90’s alternative band with a cult following, sporting a abrasive, oddball edge, and were famed for their high energy live performances. Drink The Elixir is their best known hit from the Album Drink Me (top 20 UK Charts), and is included in Robert Dimery’s book 1001 songs you must hear before you die.

Salad’s proudest moment was being part of the War Child Charity Record ‘Help’ when Terry Hall asked Salad to join him on the Mamas and Papas song ‘Dream a little Dream’. Now immortalized on a Cbeebies promo, and as Marijne and Terry both have small children, they are chuffed to bits that they are currently serenading 1 to 4 years olds every night...

Mike Mason was one half of the 4AD Band Swallow, they released their debut album Blow in 1992. Initially compared with Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine, they cut out their own niche and still have a cult following. Some of Mason's other musical projects include writing and producing with artist Peter Murphy, and working on the Dalis Car Album 2 with Mick Karn, before he sadly passed away

How did Mike and Marijne get together? Debbie Smith (Echobelly & Curve) introduced them ...they sampled each others work, liked it and away they went…Mike’s the music man, Marijne is the wordsmith and melody maker....together they are Cowboy Racer
With 90‘s girl fronted BritPop and 4AD’s experimental guitar bands now far behind them, Cowboy Racer found they had a lot of growing up to do....Cowboy Racer encapsulates those years. 
Given life’s many distractions The Cowboy Racer Project could easily have stalled from the start.  But given the time and attention invested both Mike and Marijne were determined to make it happen.  Now they are ready to come out and play.  
Their Debut Album LOVE STatiOnaRY spins the usual yarn of loves lost, found or never even had, but in a sumptuously lyrical fashion. This filmic set of songs, flow over with emotion and off beat electronic charm. The whole collection has a lovely sprinkling of glamour with a gentle undercurrent of something a little bit sinister...but in a good way.
Yellow Horse is the first single to be released from LOVE STatiOnaRY and there are already Yellow Horse fans across the globe as the track got its first airing on American TV in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. See Marijne Cavorting with a Yellow-ish Horse (A beautiful Palomino called Megan) here  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rdW_0c6zvY in a video directed by up and coming American Promo Director Lilah Vandenburgh (BlackDog (RSA) Productions)
