Sometimes I walk that lonely road     
In a kingdom built for liars
Where burdens kin move within
It’s a slow way to die

The roots of time
Make bitter wine
And it bleeds the spirit dry
There ain't no cure
When the poisons pure
It’s a slow way to die

Sometimes I swear
I’m almost there 
He walks among the blind
Sometimes I feel
It’s almost real
It’s a slow way to die

I’ve walked with him
Where they wear love thin
And the rivers drown their strong
But the sons of sin
Won’t take me in
And it’s a slow way to die

Sometimes I plead
He’ll mercy me
In the hour of the scythe
If deaths the release
And love’s the disease
Then it’s a slow way to die
It’s a slow way to die

A Slow Way To Die

For the love of god, listen to this with headphones on.

I Think You're Alright (Future Shapes / Jay Som Cover)

A cover of Stalgie's song "Orchids Grow"

Lyrics:

One regret,
made my dog breathe cigarette smoke in my
old back yard
grabbed his snout and he was startled
I still get upset
not an asshole to my pets 
when growing up gets hard
that dog's still buried in that yard
I think so

Chicago singer/songwriter/producer Gia Margaret describes her music as “sleep rock.” It’s a genre all her own, combining elements of folk, shoegaze, slowcore, ambient electronica and trip hop. For her self-produced debut album, There’s Always Glimmer (out July 27, 2018 on Orindal Records), Gia Margaret crafted twelve gorgeously melancholic lullabies to combat her own insomnia, and to salvage some beauty from the brighter and darker moments of her life.

There’s Always Glimmer explores relationships between friends, family members and significant others, often in past tense. Sparse verses isolate mundane moments of domestic and urban life, and choruses ache with earnest expressions of yearning and loss. The disarmingly simple language of Gia Margaret’s lyrics, when carried by the melodic sparkle of her singing voice, have the power to elevate an ordinary moment into something supremely nostalgic and sentimental. A ride on a train, a hand on a shoulder, a dog in a yard, the light of the moon through an apartment window are each made significant and sacred, worthy of examination and preservation.

As much as it addresses the unease in our lives, each song on There’s Always Glimmer is steeped in loving comfort, awash with gentle sounds to usher the still minutes before dreams come, when we’re left alone amidst the shadows and the echoes of our memory. There’s Always Glimmer exists to fill the darkness and the quiet.

There's Always Glimmer

Lyrics:
I wanna line my walls with photographs you sent
Of you lying in your swimsuit on the bed
Can’t live without your love inside me now
I’ll find a way to slip into your skin somehow

I wanna fuck your love slow
Catch my heart, go swim
Feel your lips crush
Hold you here my loveliest friend

I love to watch you when you’re trying on your clothes
& now you’re all I think about when I’m alone 
Can’t wait to feel your love inside me now
We’ll have a drink or two & we’ll go to your house...

Nearing a decade old and with a discography reaching deep into double figures across several different labels (Mexican Summer, Burger, Plastic Response Records) David Loca’s work under the Part Time moniker really shouldn’t require any introduction. Nonetheless, the release of what is officially his sixth album, fittingly titled Spell #6, does signal something of a re-birth and provides a compelling entry point for anyone new to Loca’s prolific output.

Whereas previous albums were notable for a charming lo-fi production, Spell #6 takes Part Time uptown. "I describe this album as 'my studio album', because it was entirely re-recorded at my drummer Walter Byer's studio, unlike most of my past releases being bedroom experimental pop recordings." Loca produced the record himself, impressively appropriating a classic 80s pop sound that recalls some of the more grand productions of that era - think Stephen Street’s expressive production on ‘Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me’, Crowded House and The Church’s widescreen interpolation of Paisley Underground jangle, and there's even traces Gerard McMann’s grandiose ‘Cry Little Sister’. In that sense, the record stands as an outlier in Loca’s catalogue, and in doing so sheds the sometimes limiting trappings of bedroom recording

Though it is Loca’s project, Spell #6 sees him joined by a consistent supporting cast of fellow writers and performers who add a poise and deftness to his vision, most notably Ariel Pink, who makes a guest appearance on lead single, ‘I Can Treat You Better’. 

A lead single for its obvious earworm qualities, it also functions as an ideal snapshot of  the lyrical themes that run through the entire record: romantic gestures and unrequited love, bad decisions on hot nights/hot decisions on bad nights, and unpinning it all, LA. For this is evidently a West Coast record, like a 2018 take on To Live and Die in LA: expansive, grand, and not a little crazy (in love) from the heat.
