Tough On You

Touch The World

Song Recorded, Mixed, and Produced by Michael Keire 
Mastered by Brian Lucey at Magic Garden Mastering 
Written by Mark Dean, Billy Holmes, and Sandy Johnston

Lyrics:

Keep it up, don't stop for me
Hold it up so I can see
You're alright with me

Came away from this, all of this had to be
Came away, but I've been stalking you for too long

What are you here for
Cus I've been here before
Now that you're social
Baby, less is more

Keep it up, don't stop for me
Came away so I can see but 
I'm not waiting, carry on

What are you here for
Cus I've been here before
Now that you're social
Baby, less is more

Haven't stopped
Wandered off

LYRICS:

I'll see you at the movies
I see you with your lipstick on
I'm looking out for cosmos
I'm hoping that we get along
It's time for an ovation
It's time for us to make a change
It's time for a Chinese new year
It's time for me to make away

And I can't, no I can't wait to get far from here
No I can't, I can't wait to get out of here
No I can't, no I can't, no I can't wait to get out of here

I'll see you at the movies
I see you with your lipstick on
I'm looking out for cosmos
I'm hoping that we get along
It's time for an ovation
It's time for us to make a change
It's time for a Chinese new year
It's time for me to make away

Sweared a lot and I bared a lot
I was there a lot last year
Wept a lot, oh baby you slept a lot 
I was left a lot last year
Pleased a lot, baby you seized my heart 
And I started to fall last year

chinese new year

Soft Science

Pre-order from iTunes: http://smarturl.it/tpo-wh-itunes

Slumberland Records is pleased to announce the signing of London-based neo-psychedelic pop group The Proper Ornaments. Mining the rich territories of The Velvet Underground and The Beach Boys, their debut album proper "Wooden Head" features fourteen thrillingly taut and melodic pop songs with a deep, dark undercurrent. Comprised of Argentinian Max Claps and James Hoare (also of Veronica Falls) – who both sing and write the songs – and joined by Daniel Nellis (bass) and Robert Syme (drums), the band have already shared stages with the likes of Real Estate, Woods, Crystal Stilts, Toy and Metronomy.

Maximo Claps arrived in London in 2008 on a one-way ticket from Buenos Aires, aided by former Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham. Oldham had produced a record by Claps' Argentinian band of the time but the group had fallen apart in a mess of drugs and acrimony and Claps' family were attempting to intervene by sending him to a mental hospital. The only option seemed to be to flee the country. As Claps recalls, "The day before flying to the UK I got run over by a car and had to escape hospital in order to make it so I arrived with bandages and my head all stitched up."

A few weeks later Max walked into the vintage clothes shop where James Hoare sat behind the counter reading a book on The Velvet Underground, and attempted to cause a diversion while his kleptomaniac girlfriend stole a pair of boots. “She didn't steal them in the end,” says Max. “They weren't her size”. However, the shop assistant and the would-be accomplice bonded over a mutual love of the Velvets, Love, Felt and West Coast pop and began writing together, taking their name from a song by the pioneering soft psych band The Free Design. In 2010 they released their first single, "Recalling", following it up with a five-song EP for London label No Pain in Pop. In 2013 Lo Recordings released all their output to date on a collection titled "Waiting for the Summer", followed by the single “First Step Out” in February 2014.

Their new album was recorded at a studio in Hackney, as well as at home in their old flat in Whitechapel on a broken 8-track reel-to-reel bought off eBay from an angry guy who threatened to shoot them and chop off their balls when they attempted to return it - a terrifying experience for a pair of skinny indie boys. Taking inspiration from Berlin-era Lou Reed, Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Darklands”, The Television Personalities and West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, the songs are breezy and easy on the ear, with sublime harmonies and chiming Byrdsian guitar, but with a darker twist and a pervasive air of melancholy. Stand-out tracks include the beautiful but sad “Summer’s Gone” (about mental illness), “Magazine” (an upbeat number written from the perspective of a bullet in the barrel of a gun) and “You’ll See” (about how when you die you’ll see everyone you know, all there lined up in a row).

With "Wooden Head", The Proper Ornaments prove that it is still possible to create an album of pure pop perfection. Max's girlfriend may not have stolen the boots, but The Proper Ornaments are about to steal your heart.

“The joint project of James and Max, through romantic drama that borders on that of The Libertines. And when you hear The Proper Ornaments you’ll see why it’s all worth it. It’s like they’re meant for each other, like Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts” - Loud & Quiet

Miracle Fortress - Here's To Feeling Good All The Time

from Melted Toys' upcoming self-titled debut

Melted Toys - Observations

På barrikaderna är första singeln från Juni Järvis kommande tredje album Om en vecka, kanske ett år. Låten handlar om att inte ge upp, utan att stå för det man tror på – att hämta styrka i andra lika mycket som i sig själv och våga kämpa för den man är.

I arbetet med den nya skivan har Juni Järvi bytt språk till svenska. Språkbytet ledde till ett mer ärligt och naket uttryck – det blev lättare att formulera precis hur det är när drömmar föds för att sedan flyktigt rinna som sand genom fingrarna, och hur det känns att gå vilse men hitta hem igen. Juni Järvi har dammat av och axlat elgitarren som den allra första egna låten skrevs på som frustrerad 14-årig punkare i villaförorten Huddinge, och levererar med dess hjälp sin karakteristiska kombination av medryckande och starka melodier!

På barrikaderna är ett första smakprov på något som kommer svepa dig av fötterna. "Vill du följa med mig ikväll, ta min hand och var min rebell!". På barrikaderna släpps digitalt den 2 juni och finns att ladda ned som gratis mp3 på Soundcloud.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
I think I hit a nerve when I burst solitude
Palooka set in motion and it's drowning you
I know you feel that pop doesn't really have a clue
But even if I'm loud it doesn't mean I'm talking to you
X2

Verse 2
You're educated now but you never stand a chance
Sophisticated ain't helping you to do the dance
I think you're stuck in that me myself and I romance
But that's too wild for you man to understand

Verse 1

Verse 3
You got a true mad deep big crush on yourself
I hope you hit the ground hard when you fell for yourself
You got that crossed armed posture such a sorry sight
If you do shit like that I don't need to be nice
I got my half ass rhymes to set me free
That’s why you never ever ever can get to me
I sense my loolycomotion's like a brick at you 
But even if I’m loud it doesn't mean I’m talking to you

Verse 1

B-part
Nah can't take it Imma break it i´m gonna shake it off me now
Within 27 minutes I'm gonna shake it like a diva

iTunes

The Bug - 'Fuck A Bitch' Feat. Death Grips

Ben Cook Aka Young Guv (Fucked Up, Marvelous Darlings, The Bitters) and Marvelous Mark Fosco (Marvelous Darlings) lived together as flat mates for 4 years. Mark came home from his deli job one day with an illicit substance he traded a customer for a deli sandwich. The first session "Back to the Sun/Girlfriend Swap" cannot be remembered by either Roommate but nevertheless ended up on a run of 66 cassettes by now defunct label from the Arctic, Scotch Tapes. "Back To The Sun" is a smashing, soaring bit of power-pop that would sound right at home on a Power Pearls comp, complete with soaring harmonies and mod-ish drum fills. "Girlfriend Swap" is even more tumultuous, exploding in a blur of pop-art guitar flash.

The next session ("Kelly, I'm Not A Creep"/"1st Floor Blues") was of a similar nature, and also ended up as a tape series by Scotch Tapes. "Kelly, I'm Not A Creep" is just an amazing ballad, radio-ready in some weird parallel universe where The Raspberries are on Midnight Special every week, Bram Tchaikovsky is still in The Records and American Bandstand still has skinny tie power-pop bands on every Saturday morning.

The Roommates played 5 shows in a small cafe in the east end of Toronto called "One Stop Sandwich & Coffee". They were all matinees. The cafe was next to the Don Jail, and was mainly a place for family members visiting inmates to get a cup of joe and a donut. Although originally meant to be a band of extremely limited and rare pressings that no one would ever really hear, the songs are now smartly compiled on 7" by Slumberland. Too catchy to be so secret. Too packed with mod/power-pop goodness to miss. Enjoy!
