Charlie IO

you see occasionally i find myself dwelling on
the capabilities i’ve lost along the way
but it shouldn’t be this hard, to live so basic
just drive along the road, you’ll learn to embrace it

oh you never wanna know
if the world hurt me so bad
would you change how it runs
and i’d live the life i’d never have
oh you never wanna know
when i go to sleep at night
would i wake up in pain?
or would things be kinda fine
kinda fine

its just one thing after another
never find a time to stop and take
a breath, collect myself, the pain won’t stop today
but it shouldn’t be this hard, to live so basic
a spine just made of glass, no way to replace it

oh you never wanna know
if the world hurt me so bad
would you change how it runs
and i’d live the life i’d never have
oh you never wanna know
when i go to sleep at night
would i wake up in pain?
or would things be kinda fine
kinda fine

live the life i’d never have

After a sold-out show at The Waiting Room in November 2022, Cyrano returned to London to headline The Lexington.

Cyrano performed out tracks from his debut EP Consolations, as well as some unreleased material, live with a full band for the first time.

Tundra (Live At The Lexington)

PLAYLIST BELOW  - PLEASE SUPPORT THE ARTISTS YOU LIKE THE SOUND OF!

This is my first recording as part of my plan to take a wide range of new and unheard music into venues around the UK to promote the overlooked talent that surrounds us.

My performances in venues will be accompanied by screens showing information and links to each artist as they are played. Feedback and support will be encouraged. It is my aim to integrate live performances from artists local to where each show takes place, once I am happy with how it is running. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this mix and read your comments. If you love it, share it. Let's support each other and make the music scene better for everyone in it. Music and life isn't a competition, that's just a lie perpetuated by wankers who don't want you to be happy.

Thank you,

Will x

Will Farr's Eclectic Mix Volume 1

Track list below, and hopefully the artists will tag their own tracks in the waveform.

                                                 -------

I hadn't planned to make this a regular online affair, but my live shows are slightly held up whilst the perfect website is being conjured from mouse clicks and imagination.

Something of an autumnal feel in this latest instalment of my Eclectic Mix project, and certainly a little darker than the Volume 1 demo. I've made an effort to include artists who didn't feature heavily in the first recording, and I will continue to do that to the best of my abilities whilst maintaining some coherence. It's not perfect, but that makes it all the more human.

Please reach out to the artists if you enjoy their music, and to me if you don't.

I recorded this before my Eclectech mix, and I realise there is some overlap but they are very much two different things.

Volume 3 will come in the Fresh on the Net Christmas break.

In Jimmy Andrex we trust,

LOOR unleashes experimental house remix of Cyrano's afterparty anthem 'Tundra' - Out March 9th

Founding Alt-J member Gwil Sainsbury has remixed Cyrano’s afterparty anthem Tundra under his new experimental dance project LOOR. The remix blends Cyrano’s indie for dusk with LOOR’s left-field dance beats to create a track ready for the clubs.

Having recently remixed Hard Drive Gold from Alt-J’s new album The Dream, LOOR has just released a collaborative EP with Joshua Idehen. Together they combine spoken word with trance to create one of the most important releases in 2022.

2021 saw Cyrano release his debut EP Consolations, earning him three Hype Machine Number 1 placements and strong support from BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio. 

To mark the first anniversary of his debut single White Wine, Cyrano will be releasing a full instrumental EP on March 24th alongside a run of live shows across Scotland.

Tundra Lyrics:

I've been here before
Holding up time
Oh I'm holding up the line

As I hold your hand inside tonight
I don't understand why it's me that I can't find

When I fall apart
I hope you'll be there

But I've never really lost my mind

Living in a Tundra
I was out of touch
Counting on a number
I know I'm hard to find

Living in a Tundra
I was out of touch
Counting on a number
I've never really lost my mind

But I've been here before
Whenever I lean out
I told the guard

Said I'd never let the start
Try to take out the hope in me
Fooling all of my faith
With signs that you care

When I fell apart,
I hoped you'd be there
Taken from the start,
A hole in my square

It's not that I'm a heart
Who has to be cared for
When we were apart
Why weren't you there?

Oh I fall apart
But I've never really lost my mind
