Cubicolor - Brainsugar

Passing Ordinary

CLOSE MY EYES (I’m With You) reimagines Leo Sayer’s 'When I Need You' as if it were reborn in a shadow-drenched, synthesized universe. 

What was once a tender pop ballad becomes a cold, pulsing darkwave confession, wrapped in icy pads, analog keys, and the neon melancholy of 1980's New Wave.

LYRICS:
------
When I need you
I just close my eyes 
And I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hands 
And I touch love

I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles 
Of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place 
Of your smile

But you know-
I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out
But hold out 
And do like I do...

Like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes 
And I'm with you
And all that I so wanna give you, babe
It's only a heartbeat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be travelin' a lifetime
It's cold out-
But hold out 
And do like I do

Oh, 
I need you

When I need love
I hold out my hands 
And I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Mmm,
When I need you
I just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Keeping my warm - night and day

I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hands
And I'm with you darlin'
Yes, I'm with you darlin'

All I wanna give you...
It's only a heartbeat away

Oh, I need you darlin' 

Oh, 
I want you.

CLOSE MY EYES (I'm With You)

What if I stayed when I should have gone
What if the silence knew my name
I keep my thoughts where the light is low
Afraid of answers that never came

What if the truth was never loud
What if it lives between the lines
I keep asking the empty air
If time was ever really mine

What if I called but you didn’t hear
What if the fault was always mine
I hold my breath inside these walls
Waiting for a clearer sign

What if the truth was never loud
What if it lives between the lines
I keep asking the empty air
If time was ever really mine

What if the past won’t let me go
What if I’m standing in my way
I trace the echoes of who I was
And feel them slowly start to fade

What if the truth was never loud
What if it never needed words
I let the question drift away
And listen to what’s left unheard

What If

Cubicolor present their debut album - ‘BRAINSUGAR’ - to be released on September 16th on Anjunadeep (“One of the hottest electronic labels in the world” - Hype Machine).

Cubicolor have emerged as one of the most exciting acts to come through the European underground in recent times. Championed by Pete Tong as one of his artists to watch, praised by Mixmag, Spin, Clash, and DJ Mag, and supported by a host of heavyweight DJs, Cubicolor look set to break through with their anticipated debut LP.

The striking and alternative sound developed across a string of acclaimed EPs on Anjunadeep and a remix for Howling (Âme’s Frank Wiedemann & Ry X) on Monkeytown Records has found it’s way into the sets of many an A-list DJ, including Sasha, George Fitzgerald, Kölsch, Joris Voorn and Mano Le Tough.

Having launched in 2014 with two members, Dutch producers Ariaan Olieroock and Peter Kriek, Cubicolor now welcome British vocalist , and former Duologue front-man Tim Digby-Bell into the band as their third member, following much loved collaborations on ‘Falling’ and ‘Mirror Play’ over the past 12 months. In his time with Duologue, Tim produced, co-wrote and sang on two records acclaimed by the likes of The Guardian, NME, DIY Mag and The Line Of Best Fit.

On ‘Brainsugar’ we hear an evolution in Cubicolor’s sound across a host of diverse and infectious tracks, combining beautiful songwriting with brilliantly cohesive clarity, echoing their influences; Radiohead, Massive Attack and Moderat to name a few. Tim’s lyrical depth and haunting vocal style shine throughout the album, which features 8 vocal tracks and 4 instrumentals.

The LP’s first single ‘Falling’ is a cascading piece of melancholic house music, which has amassed over 4 million plays on Spotify, topped Beatport’s Electronica chart, and been featured on global specialist radio (including BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, KCRW, KEXP, SiriusXM Chill, 1Live, Rai 2, 3FM and Studio Brussels).

Released alongside the announcement of the album, ‘Dead End Thrills’ is a fusion of Cubicolor’s trademark sounds, blending trippy atmospheric electronica, layered with textured melodies with Tim’s poignant vocals.

Throughout August and September 2016 Cubicolor bring their well-honed electronic sound to venues large and small across North America for a DJ tour, including a string of underground club shows and notable festival performances at Electric Zoo and Nocturnal Wonderland where they perform on Anjunadeep label stages alongside the likes of Âme, George Fitzgerald, Lane 8, HVOB, Henrik Schwarz and Yotto. Cubicolor are currently developing a full live show to be launched later this year.

‘Brainsugar’ is set to be the seventh artist album to be released on Anjunadeep, an A&R hotbed celebrated for the release of debut LPs from Dusky and Lane 8. With 250+ single releases and a string of iTunes #1 albums and compilations under its belt, the label has distinguished itself as one of the scene’s leading imprints, earning glowing coverage everywhere from Resident Advisor to Pitchfork, whilst receiving heavy support on BBC Radio 1 from Annie Mac, Pete Tong, B.Traits and Phil Taggart.

Fictionalise

Haul feat. Mohna  is a track by Christian Löffler, taken from his album Mare

'Mare' is Christian Loeffler's second studio album and follows in a similar vein to his self-released debut, 'A Forest'. However a key difference is that while his first album was heavily sample-based, 'Mare' is much more organic, in which nearly every sound and every instrument is self-recorded. Many of the album's ideas are based on field-recordings taken from the surroundings. On top of this, several microphones were set up in the room and left to run on for whole sessions. The microphones collected everything, from tapping, singing, playing, footsteps, as well as percussive elements.
