Dreamy, Shoegazery Ecstasy VI

by mike

you cant erase the cut
or gate my blood
or embrace my touch
or remain in love
on an aimless path
to reclaim my laugh
and i made a map to follow what i thought i wanna be like
that isnt easy right
/
painless wont be painless 
oh the easiest things are the worst after all
/
i dont know how to be myself
yeah i dont know if time will tell
fell from heaven and i landed in hell
and im covered in bruises and im losing my yell
i just wanna dream again
oh i want 3D visions in a 3D land
/
in between  my headphones i feel like a pariah
writing down my thoughts and setting them on fire
im looking for something bigger
/
its feels right
everytime on the summer nights
thats what it looks like to be happier than light
youre so energized, run around like a campfire
oh an endless night is a test of time oh anxious night
breath on your neck at night and im seeing these lines grow throughout your face
there is a pace of time and the pace of mind is a different pace
i cant erase those times that you played with my mind and i wanted to say
i cant read your mind like you read my mind every thought of the day
/
painless wont be painless 
oh the easiest things are the worst after all
/
i dont know how to be myself
yeah i dont know if time will tell
fell from heaven and i landed in hell
and im covered in bruises and im losing my yell
i just wanna dream again
oh i want 3D visions in a 3D land

Cracker Packet - 'Terrier'

elkyn shares his most sprightly release to date, the dream-pop flecked ‘talon’. 

The single is taken from his forthcoming debut album ‘holy spirit social club’ which arrives March 18th via Curation Records. 

The moniker of Leeds’ Joey Donnelly, elkyn’s unflinchingly honest take on indie-folk has seen him become a streaming success in recent months, picking up prime spots on editorial playlists like Our Generation and Fresh Finds. He’s also had regular airplay on BBC 6Music, BBC Introducing and Radio X. He’ll head out on his debut headline UK tour in March following the release of the album. 

Whilst elkyn’s first release, 2020’s beech EP, showcased a more lo-fi sound, ‘holy spirit social club’ finds Donnelly recording with a band for the first time, creating more fleshed out songs that retain the integrity of that early work. The bright melodies and instant nature of new single ‘talon’ act as a precursor for what to expect on ‘holy spirit social club’.

Speaking about the track, Donnelly said: “Talon’s about being thrown a bit more into adulthood and trying to form different relationships. It’s from a perspective from me now after finishing uni and the years before feeling pretty meaningless now. 

“The song starts off from a place of feeling comfortable with someone whilst being pretty uncomfortable with everything else going on. Then moves onto losing that from not being able to speak or communicate anything and doing the classic of just pushing everything away instead.”

Whilst the sound of ‘holy spirit social club’ maybe more upbeat, elkyn’s fragile half-whisper and his searingly honest lyrics remain at the heart of the songs. Indeed, it sees him put his uncensored inner dialogue on paper and bravely air thoughts that most wouldn’t dare expose. Whether that’s hurtful messages to one’s self, vague and elusive memories or lingering lessons from childhood, it’s all here on ‘holy spirit social club’.

Previous single ‘everything looks darker now’ recounted a rainy night in Manchester when he shied away from an old friend. Album-track ‘change’ finds him on the streets of Yorkshire, revisiting his family home and wondering whether he had fulfilled his father’s desire for him to ‘become a man’ - a sore point that resurfaces again and again on ‘holy spirit social club’. 

Whilst elkyn isn’t exactly kind to himself on ‘holy spirit social club’, it does see him lift a monumental weight from his shoulders. In elkyn’s words, it’s “an interim into writing nicer songs and being nicer to myself”. In creating ‘holy spirit social club’, he has faced demons that he’s shied away from for too long, finding a way back to himself that previously felt impossible. It’s only by sitting with your darkest moments that you can begin to glimpse the light - ‘holy spirit social club’ is proof of that and a whole lot more.

From the album "Courage, mon amour !" by Troy Von Balthazar (August 20st, 2021 - Vicious Circle Records)

Lyrics :
Living in a blue suit
Hallelujah
California
Smile like a buddha
Viva has a new dress
Leonard
Tea and oranges
Lorca in the front room
She misses you
She misses you
She misses you
Sing it like a poem
We want it darker
Come down from the mountain
Viva has a new dress
It’s the saddest song in the world and I relate
It’s the saddest song in the world and I relate
I gave my heart to a girl a bit too late
It’s the saddest song in the world and I relate
Leonard
Living in a blue suit
Hallelujah
Lorca in the front room
She misses you
She misses you
She misses you

Courage, mon amour !
