When The Wind Blows

'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.

Very

Young Child

I know your heart is aching
And I know the pain is real... 
I've seen you in your darkest
Devoured by the flames

We live, we love and we die together
In joy in sorrow in night in day

In this infernal night, we are waiting for the light
Through the mazes of the heart, through the darkness of the mind

We summoned the old
Turned our Mudd into gold

I've seen your deepest secrets,
I know the name of every demon you house
A dark legion fed by guilt... 
A black cloud of raging fear...

We live, we love and we die together
In joy in sorrow in night in day

In this infernal night, we are waiting for the light
Through the mazes of the heart, through the darkness of the mind

Like a flower thirsting for the sun...
You are waiting for the dawn
Everlasting night where all is dark
You are longing for the light

There are times we want to hide inside, in the constructs of the mind, but there are thorns and there's snakes, inside the shadows in the dark

In this infernal night, we are waiting for the light
Through the mazes of the heart, through the darkness of the mind

"Someone said to me be guarded with your heart;
wrap it up in armour from the start."
Maybe if the Gods decide; when people learn to lose their foolish pride.
I’ll be here; I’m just a word away.
don’t leave it fate to call, don’t dodge that date.
We could safely climb the trenches .
We could all be home by autumn if we try.
The years are racing on; I’ve been here once before.
revolving days of closing every door.
Clichés come, clichés go. Make no mistake,
they’re rooted in the things that we should know.
I’ll be here; I’m just a word away.
don’t leave it fate to call, don’t dodge that date.
We could safely climb the trenches .
We could all be home by autumn if we try.
I try to keep the love I have from sinking in the mud.
to many broken hearts are lost to pain.
A man must walk a thousand roads;
he’s bound to carry many heavy loads.
I’ll be here; I’m just a word away.
don’t leave it fate to call, don’t dodge that date.
We could safely climb the trenches.
We could all be home by autumn if we try.
We could safely climb the trenches.
We could safely climb the trenches.

Passing Fad

Silver Bella recruited her good pal, Paul Claxton (formerly of Ashes and Dreams), to get fun + funky with this mix.
With influences of soul and R&B, Paul added some funky organ, sax and trumpets, and beautiful spacey strings, among other great elements.

Lyrics (courtesy of Silver Bella):

You can choose your shirt
Fix your hair how you want
You can run your game
Select the best restaurant

You can wear that skirt
Put on your favourite jeans 
But there is just one thing
That you cannot pick between

He can check all the boxes
Seem like a dream
But that don’t mean anything

You don’t get to choose who you fall in love with
You don’t get to choose who you fall in love with
You don’t get to choose who you fall in love with  
You don’t get to choose who you fall in love with  
  
You can pretend you’re straight
Be a good Muslim girl
But no force-fed mate, or marriage can rock your world
‘Cause pretty soon that crack will run right across your face
‘Cause love don’t care about the politics of disgrace

She can check all the boxes
Seem like a dream
But that don’t mean anything

‘Cause like fiddles and foxes
Cookies and cream
It’ll make you go ding, ding, ding!

You don’t get to choose who you fall in love with
You don’t get to choose who you fall in love with
You don’t get to choose who you fall in love with  
You don’t get to choose who you fall in love with

You Don't Get to Choose

Welcome to YINYANG’s haunted haus of fun, where elements of hip hop, rap, electronic and alternative styles blend as if they’ve been waiting to synthesize. It’s dripping with cool and promises to prick your ears.

Kill Jester serves a murderous sonic cacophony about reincarnation and dropping dead weight in the form of inner demons. Sinister yet slick visuals dropping in 2 weeks, fierce yet positive message. “Don’t pursue it, if it’s not a fuck yes.”
