Light Up The Sky

beginners' krav maga

Normal Life

Sun-kissed river drips a beacon of light 
I’ll bathe in its heat
Walk into the bright
From the cold
It’s just like I was told 
Look down at my hands 
Feel the heat
Know they’re mine 
Thoughts visit for a while
But they leave in due time 
Now I know
Life out the undertow

But if I knew myself better then it could’ve been love 
And if I worked a little harder then I wouldn’t need luck 
But is it ever worth the if?
The if...

Who knew feeling like a person could be this easy? 
22 with a gift for making it all seem wrong
Where did I ever go wrong?
I met myself for the first time here
Not much in common but I came with landing gear 
Oh, lock my body up here...

But if I knew myself better then it could’ve been love 
And if I worked a little harder then I wouldn’t need luck 
But is it ever worth the if?
The if...
The if!

I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste 
But you can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste 
But you can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste 
But I can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste 
But I can make a mistake
I know I fall much harder than the others
It’ll feel like dirt when you chase a golden taste 
But I can make a mistake

What If?

I Like It

'I don’t have a proper job, I'm a metamodern skank'
Varrick Zed's insouciant introduction sets the tone for 'Very', a taut new assault on the dancefloor from NYC avant-pop miscreants, Strange Flesh.

Taking aim at societal expectations as to how a life ‘ought’ to be lived, ‘Very’ is an anthem for those on their own deliciously precarious path, the soundtrack to beloved but ill-paying employment, affordable decadence, no children, and a healthy disregard for the future. 

Underpinned by a pulsating bassline and minimal electro-funk beat, the track’s wickedly catchy sonic palate is peppered with deconstructed synth hooks and subtle ambient flourishes, which, together with Varrick’s ice cool sprechgesang vocals, turn ‘Very’ into a full-blown pop leviathan. 

While we're feeling nebulous, 'Very' is backed by the darker, galloping strains of 'Sugoku', an accelerated club belter that complements its predecessor very well, before the EP's title track is hacked to pieces and rehewn by Digital Equipment Co. into a dementedly hiccupping new beast.

Last of all, legendary New Zealand DJ Stinky Jim elongates 'Very' into a jawdropping eight minute dub extravaganza, closing out this sizzling EP with aplomb.

For the as-yet-uninitiated, Strange Flesh comprises native New Yorker Varrick Zed, and London expatriate Ed Zed. The duo is based in Brooklyn, where they craft left field pop music out of whatever they find lying around in their apartment and their ravaged minds.
