Spin Cycle
 
It’s been a long time since you washed your clothes. The pile of laundry in your bedroom creeps further towards you every time you hurl another sweat-filled sock at it. Two, three weeks now? Excuses keep flowing. 
 
‘I don’t have time.’ 
‘Fabric softener is too expensive.’  
‘Those pants can be reused.’
 
You shouldn’t reuse pants. You know you shouldn’t reuse pants. 
 
A month of non-washing passes and it becomes too much. Some of your family aren’t talking to you anymore. Your partner’s eyes are starting to wander. Even your milkman has shunned you. 
 
You do the right thing - book a half-day off work - and do some laundry. 
 
Click goes the door of the washing machine and it’s off. You stand back, impressed with yourself. 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
Slowly at first, a warm feeling of bliss starts to grow and envelope the soul. 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
Gone is the nausea! Ridden are you of the guilt, the embarrassment, the social pariah-status! 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!
 
Round and round and round, it goes.

Lashes To Lashes

Stay Close

Mira Cook - Stay Close

Sydney indie rock three-piece Crystal Cities have made a triumphant return after almost a year-long hiatus. Although that’s not to say they haven't been busy. Lead vocalist and guitarist/keyboardist Geoff Rana has been spending days on end in his self-made studio where he’s been writing, producing and engineering the band’s latest material. Today we get the first taste of said latest material in the form of new single, “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore”. 

While the band’s previous effort - their sophomore album Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight - was an exercise in hard-hitting alternative rock that could rattle a live audience, “Love Don’t live Here Anymore” feels more explorative and colourful. Yes, the signature big anthemic chorus is still there, however this time it feels more personable, more relatable, and more emotive. Rana even tries his hand at a low croon for the song’s verses which will be a pleasant surprise for listeners familiar with their back catalogue. 

"I happened to be going through one of those 'down' moments where giving up music and writing songs seemed like the best option for moving forward with my life... Wild peaks of motivation followed by troughs of listlessness are simply part of the experience of being a creative person struggling to find some semblance of success in an ever-changing world... Ironically, it was when I was feeling at my lowest that I happened to sit down with my guitar and start strumming the opening chords for ‘Love Don’t Live Here Anymore’.

It was through this song that I found myself reuniting with why I write songs and why I love it so much. ‘Love Don’t Live Here Anymore’ is about the experience of losing something or someone you once loved and then the joy you get from reconnecting with, or rediscovering that something or someone."
⁣- Geoff Rana (vocals/guitar/keys)

The song also features the band’s newest member, Neel Shukla. Shukla replaces previous drummer Daniel Conte who has performed on all the band’s previous work. 

Long-time Crystal Cities collaborator Paul Lani (David Bowie, Prince) was once again tapped to handle mixing and mastering duties for the recording.

SInce the band’s formation in 2016 they have released a highly praised EP - Who’s Gonna Save Us Now (2017) - and two critically acclaimed albums - Under The Cold Light of the Moon (2019) and Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight (2021). 

The band consists of Geoff Rana (lead vocals, guitar, keys), Jared King (Bass, backing vocals), and newest member, Neel Shukla (Drums).

Love Don't Live Here Anymore

If I Could

Somebody Loves You is a single by The Money War, release Nov 11, 2022

Somebody Loves You

Inspired by the video game of the same name, ‘Unravel’ is a song about confronting anxiety and working together to tackle mental obstacles. Driven by a mix of folk and bedroom pop stylings, the lyrics dive into the fear of overwhelm and the importance of vulnerability. Opening up to someone else might be the fix you need, not only to mend your own troubles but theirs as well. Set to layered guitars and bursts of violin, the track embodies the phrase "it's okay to not be okay," especially considering there are so many others in the same boat.

- Self-produced and performed by Deer Fellow
- Written by Matt Salois of Deer Fellow
- Recorded, mixed, and mastered by grammy-winning Erik Wofford

Lyrics:
"Every single day you feel your nerves a-creeping
They’re on the way, you’d rather be day dreaming
Wouldn’t that be nice but when you’re self-aware you can’t, you’re antsy
Every single night, looking for a reason
Not to run and hide, wish it all was pretend
Wouldn’t that be grand but when you’re self aware it can’t be
You're antsy, you can’t see a way out
You’re unraveling, but it's alright
Grab your thread as you unwind
Take the end and tie it to mine
We'll make something good of a bad time
You can feel the urge to dive into the deep end
But that's absurd when you're no good at swimming
Wouldn’t it be great to stay afloat and never sink, but you're flailing
Take another breath so you can remember
Don't give in yet, don't you dare surrender
More can be done despite the fact you're antsy
You can breathe slowly throughout
You’re unraveling, but it's alright
Grab your thread as you unwind
Take the end and tie it to mine
We'll make something good of a bad time
Unwinding ain't all that bad
We're finding ways to adapt
And finally bridging the gap"

Deer Fellow is an indie folk-pop duo with “comforting yet bold musicality.” Based out of Austin, bandmates Matt Salois (guitar, vocals) and Alyssa Kelly (violin, vocals, piano) met at an open mic and were quick to collaborate. Fast forward to present day and coupledom, the two have built a cross-genre sound that “stirs hearts with each carefully crafted note.” The duo's vocal harmonies and unique guitar-violin blends have landed them Official SXSW 2024 Artist status as well as features on Earmilk, KUTX Radio, and the Austin American-Statesman.
