Le Chantier, les immanquables de la playlist 2021

Written at the height of the first summer of lockdown, when people were clapping, clogging up beauty spots and leaving piles of rubbish behind, pushing conspiracies and the government were lying and incompetent. 

Still very much relevant today.

Spearheaded by John Kunkel (songwriter/producer), The New Division is an LA-based tour de force. Influenced by a mix of new wave, synthpop, and dancefloor sensibilities, Kunkel has taken the tastiest slices of these genres and blended them into The New Division's signature sound. With a sound that feels comfortably connected to the past but with a momentum that fastens them to the future, at its core The New Division's custom blend of electronic adds tugging lyrics to each track, bringing satisfying emotion to the party.

On the heels 2020s LP, "Hidden Memories," The New Division's latest effort, "Stateside" is The New Division's 2nd single for 2021. Featuring a unique rhythm section, ethereal atmospheres, and glistening vocals, "Stateside" offers its own take on settling for love across the pond. On the subject matter, John Kunkel (lead vocalist/producer) states, "I wrote this song during the pandemic and thought about all the people who were together before everything went down, but then got separated for one reason or another. Not being able to see each other during that time, all while under lockdown must've been difficult. I tried to put myself in their shoes, thought about how I would've reacted, how they would've felt and the lyrics stemmed from that very place." 

Stateside is out worldwide May 10th, 2021 on Division 87 Records.


"Stateside"
I won't let you run me down
I won't leave anything over 
As long as I'm away from you

Living a double life
These days I'm looking a bit older
A price for the sins I pay 

This isn't what you want
But I don't matter
Cause all the things I need are in my hands

To hold you over
I hold you

Runnin round just like your head cut off

The smilin' that your sportin' just says it all
So I won't let you try to win this
Before you know, before you know it all

I lead a simple life by msyelf
How could you add anything to it
Without breaking up?

The New Division - Stateside

Glaswegian alt-pop artist the ever fresh, courageous, and wonderfully weird, singer-songwriter Leif Coffield is a game-changer. His new single ‘Just wanna be strange’ is a dark yet energetic Pop track, with hints of Billie Eilish style vocals and instrumentation alongside minimal percussion but a groove layered bass line. The deep and sinister vocals perfectly juxtapose the dance vibes of the music itself and encapsulate the theme of the lyrics- obsession, infallibility and idolisation. 

Produced by himself, ‘Just wanna be strange’ is about “The feeling of obsessing over somebody, and the notions of infallibility that come along with it. In an age where we are so driven by the idolisation of celebrity status, 'Just Wanna Be Strange' aims to portray the perspective of the obsessor. Often times we idolise those we see ourselves in, or see ourselves with, and it's not difficult to think of someone with fame or celebrity that we haven't adored simply because they seem 'quirky' or 'weird', and that it's a travesty-debt owed to the universe that they haven't become friends or lovers. This song represents that. All of that.” Leif explains.

Like his surroundings, Leif describes his sound as, “cold, dark and broken.” - all of which translates seamlessly into his music. Undoubtedly one of the most ambitious names in the UK, he patches enormously affecting lyricism against superb pop moments.

Having picked up the guitar at eight years old, this songwriter has always utilised music as a means of processing life, and the world we exist in. He is driven by a Billie Eilish-esque kind of sinister spirit, lulling listeners into an electro-infused, bass-heavy dreamland that’s beautiful; woozy; and often heart-wrenchingly chaotic, all at once. 

His artistry has only enhanced with each release. Having gained support through the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC radio Scotland, CLASH and CLOUT magazine, it’s no surprise that this dark-pop artist is turning heads as he focuses on forging a new lane for his musical ambitions as an independent artist.

Just Wanna Be Strange

"The most absolute insane weird-punk artifact you could ever dream come to us recorded over email from the astral conjunction of lethal brain-blowers involved in the sickest bands of the moment as Research Reactor Corp, Satanic Togas, Setop Box, Gee Tee, Belly Jelly, Dummy or Skull Kult put on the most wanted one-side 7" by the badass hand of Goodbye Boozy Records!" - Tremendo Garaje

Take from the upcoming "Deny All Knowledge Of Complicity " Album 

Out on ADAGIO830 on June 11th

It’s already 3 years Berlin-based band Pigeon released their self-titled debut LP and shortly after the Bug EP but also hard to believe they found the time to get together with all the involvement in other projects like Liiek, Ostseetraum, Benzin or or or. The 10 new songs on Deny All Knowledge Of Complicity are dry, restive and full of guitar feedback. Pigeon are a contemporary version of post-punk heroes Wire and New Zealand’s noiserock band The Gordons.

Your head's like a haunted house
A tutti frutti written over the caption
Miss diagnosis a-with-a the mostest
Cue the evil smile
Desperation can led to madness
De-de-degradation is a must
The A, B, C's of leprosy

Need a hand? Take mine
We're subleem, sublime
Fake apologize
Fucks in short supply

Too late, too slick, too young
Gag the bag reflex, spoken tongues
Séance, say what?
Say man, don't even think about it
Push the pest-aside
Xanadu's and xanadont's
Edumacate me, copulate me
A dirty trick and it's making me sick (Urgh!)

(You okay?) I'm fine
Let's go! Is my sign
We're subleem, sublime
G-g-g-goddamn crime

Tonight
I'm gonna put up a fight
I'm gonna get a reaction that I like
Burn the days
I reject your displays
I demand satisfaction or the knife
To trick the light fantastic, one takes wire on the shins
Petty disguises worn like skins, a distinction, nice
Drink the Kool-Aid and swallow the pill
You say that you don't and you won't, but you will
Busted

Your head's like a haunted house
Peeping at your mumbo jumbo
Outta sight, going bump in the night
Screwacide
With posterier so superior
Ain't in the race for second place
Circumstances in my pants
Is calling for action
Girl, I'll blow your mind
Then you will blow mine
We're subleem, sublime
Goin' for a ride

'Movements' is all about a relationship that has broken down. When your gut is saying something is wrong but neither of you are saying anything. You know you are losing them, but you’re still besotted. You realise you aren't 'all over each other' anymore, your touches have lost any affection and you are in heartache limbo. It is about overcoming the fear of something ending and voicing your feelings in order to regain control of the situation. It’s like, enough is enough I’m calling you out mate.

"As Big As All Outside" is taken from Ducks Ltd.'s EP "Get Bleak", an expanded re-issue out now on Carpark Records.

LYRICS:
It's as big as all outside
and as silent as the grave at night
and it creeps in like a doubt
Has a name that we won't say out loud

Let's settle in under that wave and then
Let it pull the both of us to sea again
All the way out

It's as big as all outside
and as silent as the grave at night
and it really creeps me out
all the wrecks that we still hang around

Watch me wrap my fingers round the blade again
I'd do the same for you, you are that kind of friend
All the way out

In the next apartment I hear a woman sing
The DJ plays the 12 inch mix of "Vision Thing"
I'm all the way out

Dirty Words

Bittersweet, anthemic, melancholy alt-rock made in Sheffield.

Dead Slow Hoot combine poetic lyricism with rich musical textures and sparse sonic landscapes to fill your ears with melancholy musings. After the release of their EP 'I Suppose They Were Better Off As Dead', Dead Slow Hoot have progressed to playing larger and larger stages, receiving critical praise from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music in the process.

'Frontman Hugo Lynch delivers powerful, poignant vocals that culminate into an impressive mix of reverb drenched guitar riffs, dreamy melodies and energetic drums that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention and demand more' - English Rain Records

'Sounds like a haunting version of the Doctor Who theme if it were written by Danny Elfman and directed by Tim Burton as a glam rock opera' - Backseat Mafia
