Natural Changes

Moonbeam

"We wrote and recorded This Breeze during a very transitional time in our lives. We had just gotten back to Sweden after having lived in the U.S. for a year and we were staying with Shpresa's parents for the summer in her home town of Värnamo. For one of us, the feelings were of 'coming home' and the coziness of a long awaited reunion with family and old friends. For the other, the feelings were of 'leaving home behind' and reflecting on the distance that suddenly separates one from the very same kind of people.  This Breeze is a manifestation of our contradictory feelings colliding and ultimately - finding common ground. The song is cozy and warm but it's also bittersweet and melancholic. It represents the sum total of our combined feelings at the time."
//Flora Cash

Short bio:
Cole and Shpresa met on SoundCloud; where each had been uploading their music independently, in early 2012. At first, their love was simply for the other's music. That quickly turned into something more, however, and it wasn’t long before the two began a relationship on Skype which lasted more than five months. In June 2012, Shpresa flew to Cole in Minneapolis, from Stockholm, and stayed until the couple returned to Sweden two months later. It was there that Flora Cash was born.

Since that time, Flora Cash has lived, written and played in Stockholm, London and Minneapolis. They've assembled over nineteen-thousand YouTube subscribers and amassed over a million views on their videos. They've released several singles and three EPs and have recently signed with Swedish indie label, 'Icons Creating Evil Art,' with whom they'll be releasing an EP late this summer/early fall.

HONEY

Half of you knows what's better
The other side cuts the tether

In the garden where you've buried
Haunting voices, weight you've carried

But I want to know what there is to you, honey 

Mystery, shrouded, harnessed
All that you can regret
Locked in a fortress

Numbered volumes you have written
of your lifetime remain hidden

But I want to know all there is to you, honey 
Tell it to me

It's the same when I don't even question why
To remain is to close our eyes and never really try

Deadly, my darling, the silence that lies 
Caught in a zephyr that quiets your cries
It's all around you, don't question why
Wrap you in kindness, love sinks the sky

Here We Go Magic - “Ordinary Feeling” from the album ‘Be Small’ out October 16, 2015 on Secretly Canadian

Be Small

Pre-Order 'Be Small'

Here We Go Magic - "Ordinary Feeling"

When Bror Forsgren (The Lionheart Brothers, Jaga Jazzist, Silence The Foe) is making his solo debut at the age of 34, he doesn’t go easy on anything. As the title on the great art deco-inspirered cover indicates at first sight, «Narcissus» is a grandiose and uncompromising piece of pop music. 

The album’s theme is centred around the big questions. Lost love, innocence and faith in God are all important elements in the universe Bror Forsgren has created for «Narcissus». The arrangements, which none other than TrondheimSolistene have orchestrated, are grandiose and intricate. Despite its «wall of sound»-approach and several prominent musical guests (Lars Horntveth, Mathias Eick, Marte Eberson and others), the album still comes across as an intensely personal affair. 

Bror Forsgren himself describes the album like this: 

- I’ve always dreamed of making an album with grand orchestration, whilst managing to keep the music timeless. I’m a big fan of Scott Walker and loves his ability to intertwine velvety pop music and modern composition. My vision for this album has been to create a work where my natural pop habitat melts together with the classical and the modern. 

Already on the opening track, «Waiting For That Holy Music», it’s clear that this isn’t just any album. Its musical landscape evokes the previously mentioned Scott Walker and other greats like The Beach Boys, Brian Eno and Ennio Morricone. But «Narcissus» is by no means an exercise in the name of pastiche art. The way Bror Forsgren takes elements from these greats and builds his own sonic cathedral, shows that he’s an impressively confident artist with a clear vision. 

The album’s nine songs form a fascinating musical journey where we join Forsgren down to the deepest valleys. Luckily, you might say, there’s also light at the end of the tunnel. In several ways this anecdote from Bror Forsgren’s trip from Oslo to Trondheim to record TrondheimSolistene, illustrates the album very well. 

- I arrived early at the railway station, but because of delays and technical problems with the airport express train, I had to take a taxi to Gardermoen airport. Five minutes before my flight’s departure time, I arrived at the airport and ran through the security check. If I didn’t catch this flight, the whole recording, lots of money and the album I’d been working on for two years would go down the drain. When I arrived at gate 23, I discovered that the flight had been moved to gate 19. I ran the long way to that gate, but when I finally arrived there, the gate had only just closed. I tearfully explained my situation to one of the officials at the gate, who despite strict regulations let me come on board. And thus «Narcissus» became a reality, Forsgren says. 

In other words it’s been a long, difficult and, at times, dark process. But on the other hand, with «Narcissus» in his back pocket, Bror Forsgren has landed on his own two feet. However, he gladly admits that his many supporters and musicians have been invaluable. 

- I’m very lucky to have been joined by so many competent people and I’m extremely grateful for this. Without all their help «Narcissus» wouldn’t have existed. 

«Narcissus» will be released on Jansen Plateproduksjon on 25 September.

Pick Me Apart

'Morning Song' by Family Machine

In 2008, Oxford three-piece Family Machine released their debut album 'You Are the Family Machine' via cult label Alcopop! Records to glowing reviews. The record, four years in the making, showcased exactly what makes the band so magnificent; infectious, hook-laden songs brimming with tenderness and emotion. It was a striking introduction...and then all went quiet.

Almost eight years later and the band are set to return with album number two, 'Houses That You Lived In', on August 28th 2015. 
The album, produced by longtime collaborator Ian Davenport (Philip Selway, Badly Drawn Boy, Band of Skulls), is nine tracks of pure and joyous confessional pop, calling to mind the lo-fi brilliance of Grandaddy, the melodic delicacy of Midlake and the lyrical flair of 'The Seldom Seen Kid'-era Elbow. 
Lyrically inspired by the little/big changes in life, the album manages to be both reflective and honest without ever slipping into introspective sadness. Frontman and songwriter Jamie Hyatt: "The album is simply about living and dying; it’s about the little stories that are in the big life story that we are all in the middle of. It’s about the fear, the joy and just the general feeling that everything is just as it is."

'Morning Song' is a perfect example of the bands expertly crafted songwriting and delicate delivery. From the sleepily picked guitar of the verse to the soaring, French-horn assisted awakening of the chorus, over three minutes the band create a miniature masterpiece of pastoral lo-fi folk, awash with lush harmonies and built around the gentle, mournful voice of Jamie Hyatt. 

Formed in the early 2000's, Family Machine began life as a solo bedroom project for Jamie Hyatt before expanding into a fully-fledged band in 2004. Hyatt had previously fronted legendary Oxford band The Daisies (later known as Medal), who released several well-received albums and counted the likes of Radiohead, DJ Shadow and Rick Rubin amongst their fans. 
Following years of touring, the band imploded and Hyatt, inspired by the likes of Belle & Sebastian and Ween, began recording acoustic four-track demos at home. 
During this period Hyatt also co-founded Oxford promotions company and DIY label Beard Museum. Originally a monthly club night that hosted early shows by the likes of Damien Jurado and Stornoway, BM has gone onto bring some of the world's finest to Oxford, including recent gigs by Jonny Greenwood & the London Contemporary Orchestra, Keaton Henson, Gaz Coombes and Sea of Bees. 

'Houses That You Lived In' is released on August 28th 2015 via Beard Museum Records
