“I wrote The Child while working a summer job at a crop farm last year. I stayed at the farm for ten days and had very little to do besides working and playing the guitar. The words came much later than the music – I wrote them after CMJ. It’s a reflection on the conflict between being an artist but also being successful, so I think CMJ had some bearing on shaping the lyrics. When you start playing music you do it for the sake of writing music but when you’re signed to a label there’s commercial pressure. There are good things and bad things about that. One of the good things certainly is that you have to reinvent yourself within or beyond your music, which I tried to do with The Child, as it’s a bit different to a lot of Yung songs.” - Mikkel Holm Silkjær

Yung - The Child

It won’t come easy on darker days
When you’re slow diving into the lake
And you’re losing your grip on the pieces you know
They all fall away when you’re trying to float

There’s nothing left in liminal space
So now you stutter, you hesitate
You’re looking for someone that you can follow
But they all look away when you ask for a rope

They can’t take you higher
Can’t take you higher

You will only know the light, if you open your eyes
You will only know the light
You will only see it rise, if you wait through the night
You will only know the light

Let the pariahs come take the bait
They want it so bad that they salivate
But you know that it’s never enough when they get there
That success only feels like you’re swallowing air

It can’t take you higher, can’t take you higher

You’ve got to wait
To stop, and stay
You’ve got to wait

Know The Light

Drop Your Sword

Do you ever feel like you've changed your mind, like you've changed your mind?
Missing all the things that you left behind, that you left behind.
Oooo, its like magic, you're tragically crawling back,
Oooh, I can have it but I keep telling myself you're in love with that.

Listen:

He's a fool, a secondhand trend
says he's not fake but he's Armanio.
He's not cool and he's your boyfriend,
Watch your heart break cause he's Armanio.

Do you ever feel like you're caving in, like you're caving in? 
Letting down your guard so you never win, so you never win.
Oooh, but like magic you're actually fighting back,
Oooh, it's a habit but just keep telling yourself that his love is black...

Listen:

He's a fool, a secondhand trend
says he's not fake but he's Armanio.
He's not cool and he's your boyfriend,
Watch your heart break cause he's Armanio.

He's a fool, a secondhand trend
says he's not fake but he's Armanio.
He's not cool and he's your boyfriend,
Feel your head ache cause he's Armanio

ARMANIO

And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter— they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long.

Eventually

It seems as if in your early twenties, you go through various phases of comparing your life and goals to those of your peers, trying to find some kind of balance between what you're supposed to be doing while figuring out what you actually want to do. Overridden by this very-human and age appropriate anxiety in the constantly chaotic atmosphere which New York seems to provide, RÉN escaped to Santa Cruz, CA for a little R&R. While there, she drove past a sign at a bakery that said "Relax, you've got plenty of time". In that moment, a weight was lifted (and a cupcake was eaten) and instead of dwelling on all of the day's worries and jealousies, RÉN channeled that energy and the wise baker's advice into the foundation of her next pop feel-good, yet always introspective jam "Into the Unknown". Complementary in wisdom to her debut single "Time", the song is an escape and much-needed reminder to let go of those aspects of life you will never have control over. In a way it embodies the core concept of RÉN - to be true to yourself, stop comparing yourself to others, channel your stress into positive energy, and create changes you long for so that you can live fully, 'let go' of everything holding you back and go 'Into the Unknown'.

Lyrics:
Anxiety get the best of me
I'm falling back on my family
Another pill to get some sleep
I've found myself running to the sea

My momma says that it's not okay
To be so crazed at such an early age
My doctor said "you would be amazed,
I see this craze almost every day"

Relax my friend, you've got plenty of time
Sit back and let your mind unwind

Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know
Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know

Society, yeah I'm in too deep
I'm wanting more than I need
Never enough for you for me
Bleed on jealousy

Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know
Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know

Wasting time, I'm wasting time
I thought that I done lose my mind
Wasting time, I'm wasting time
I thought that I done lose my mind

Gotta go,
Gotta let go
Gotta go,
Gotta let go

Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know
Eh oh, I gotta go into the unknown
Eh oh, I gotta let of all that I know

CHIEFS - Here We Go Again (feat. MAIA)

“I want to go anywhere and dream away” singer Karolien Van Ransbeeck whispers in ‘Summer Sun’, Few Bits’ luscious new single, taken from their sophomore album ‘Big Sparks’.  A pitch-perfect mix of  shimmering guitars, hazy vocals and loose but galloping grooves. Imagine Real Estate tackling Mazzy Star’s ‘Fade Into You’ at 45rpm instead of 33 1/3rpm and you get the picture. But there’s a lot more to this Antwerp based band. 

Debuting in 2013 with a self-titled debut album ‘Few Bits’ they immediately stole hearts of music lovers in Belgium and beyond. The band got invited to support the likes of Vampire Weekend and The War On Drugs and went on a UK tour with The Lemonheads. Gaining confidence on stage night after night is clearly reflected in the dynamic and full dreampop sound of ‘Summer Sun’ and the themes explored on the new album. 

Karolien’s songs about the shadow side of love, about longing for something that ultimately always remains just out of reach, and about finally having the courage to relinquish control come from a deeply personal place. “I always write autobiographically", she explains, "I'm not really interested in writing from someone else's perspective. A song doesn't just have to sound good, it also has to express exactly what I feel. Otherwise I'd rather throw it away. I don't come up with fiction. Every word, every comma, has to fit my head and my heart." 
Fresh from making their US debut at this year’s SXSW Festival, and just in time for the Canadian Music Week and The Great Escape, Few Bits is ready to win over hearts and ears all over the world with their new single ‘Summer Sun’

Join us on their trip and dream away.

'On Message To Bears’ fourth LP Carved From Tides Jerome Alexander throws all caution to the wind and delivers an experience emotive enough to tug at every fibre in a heartstring. Released on 1st July, Carved From Tides sees Jerome eschew the arbitrary boundaries that have been erected between synthetic music and music made on more traditional instruments. Lead single ‘I’ll Lead You There’ is exemplary. Starting with a gloomy acoustic arpeggio that wouldn’t be out of place in the hands of Elliott Smith or Nick Drake, its folky textures are soon penetrated by a thudding beat over which collaborator https://soundcloud.com/will_samson lends his tender reverberating vocals. The heart-wrenching mood of the arrangement lends it a depth of feeling that characterises the whole LP.'

Emerging alt-folk artist Amaroun has announced the forthcoming release of her debut single Bed Bugs. The Northamptonshire singer songwriter’s first effort is a powerful introduction to her unique sound, shaped by her distinctive mix of cultures and upbringing that was naturally embedded in the alternative scene from a young age.

Drawing influences from the likes of Beck, Eels and Sharon Van Etten, Amaroun’s direction and identify has been very clear from her youth, and an awareness of her sound from a technological and sonic point of view exemplifies the rising star’s undoubted ability.

Amaroun’s passion for music goes beyond the self; as an artist she spends time working on her collective and annual festival Greenstone in her hometown where she provides a platform for other incredible musicians to showcase their artistic talent.

Bed Bugs is an exciting taste of what’s to come from Amaroun in 2016, with her new material set to be accompanied by a stream of animated videos that tell a story in abstract fashion, which add a beautiful display of collaboration between animation and music.

To celebrate the release of Bed Bugs, a gig will be taking place on 18th March at Rye Lane, London (7pm).

Amaroun’s Bed Bugs (produced by Kristofer Harris) is released on 14th March via YOY Records and will be available to purchase on iTunes and Spotify.
