Cold Cave - Our Tears Help the Flowers Grow (Exclusive Track)

Allo Darlin's new album "We Come From The Same Place" combines the eagerness, urgency and immediacy of their 2010 self-titled debut with the contemplation, sophistication and ambition of their 2012 follow-up "Europe," and yet it goes beyond either both sonically and in the songs. It was written at a time of considerable change for songwriter Elizabeth Morris, a time during which she fell in love, moved to Italy and got married - not that that seems to have hindered the songwriting process, as Elizabeth explains, "So many things have happened since I first wrote the songs that make up this album, it's difficult to remember back to where it all began. The songs were written very quickly, during a period when I found writing songs very easy, whereas I often find songwriting very difficult. Some of the songs were written so fast I can't even really remember writing them. The songs were a joy to write, and writing them made me feel better about lots of things."

Among the highlights of the album is "Bright Eyes", a duet with guitarist Paul Rains. Elizabeth again, "I wanted to write another duet, but the only problem with doing that is that when you play live it's very rare that the person you recorded it with can be there. So I thought it would be great to write a song with Paul singing the other part. I love Paul's singing and I wanted to hear him do it more, so it's quite selfish really!" Another standout is the Twin Peaks-referencing "Half-Heart Necklace", based on a true story from Elizabeth’s hometown. "There had been some murders, and this girl who was my age was missing and presumed killed. It turned out she had been hiding for years in her boyfriend's cupboard, and she was charged for wasting police time". 
 
Other notable tracks include the rollicking "Kings and Queens", inspired by a show they played in the USA with their friends and kindred spirits The Wave Pictures, and "Romance and Adventure", originally earmarked for a film soundtrack and written in response to a challenge from Paul to write a pop song in a minor key. Bass player Bill Botting sums up Elizabeth’s remarkable songwriting ability by saying, "The key to Elizabeth’s songwriting appeal is that she’s so adept at pinpointing certain ideas and moods; leaving one city and finding a new one and realising that beginnings and endings have a lot in common."

The truism is that third albums are difficult beasts, but by remaining true to themselves Allo Darlin’ have side-stepped the pitfalls to produce a wonderful record - thoughtful and exciting and exquisitely played – that will please their existing army of fans and newcomers alike. On first reading the album’s title may seem enigmatic, but from the very personal nature of Elizabeth Morris’ finely drawn vignettes to the more universal connections between the band and their audience, its meaning will be obvious to all who fall under the spell of this magical band.

"A masterclass of modern cult pop." The Guardian

"Terrific, witty and heartfelt, like a less moody Belle & Sebastian." The New York Times

Traveling Through Darkness ft. Titiyo

The second edition of our Scroll n' Spell Pak Series. 

Witchaven(PA) is digital party punk/comedy rock trio.  Proto-Rumpelstiltskin Grinder, as it features 3 of the members from that band.

Lurking in the bogs of Havertown, PA in the mid-90s, three young street tuffs wanted to start a band of True Music. Yes, True Music.
Only the Realest and the Truest.

No one knew their names, but everyone knows the legend:
 
One day they were skatboarding near an unholy bog/creek that was consumed by toxic sludge. They all tried to make a sweet ass jump off a mighty fallen oak, but they all missed their target and were consumed by hilarious radioactive substances.
 
Minutes went into hours and then days...their parents believed them to be kidnapped. In fact they were never seen again as three creatures known as Sludge, Max and Stew now took on their True Music Form known as...Witchaven(PA)
 
Contains the original/rare "If you run...we'll kill you" demo from 2003 of which 50 copies exist and the unreleased "The Government Is Weird" EP from 2009.
 
Physical edition is hand numbered to 200 copies. Cassette includes a screenprint patch of the band wrapped in unholy fibers. Layout burnt and rolled as a scroll , tied with twine and blessed during a live black mass.

Whats so strange about me (eight days cover)

Whats So Strange About Me

Hello, hello, my time machine adenosine.
The sky agrees.
It’s all we see.
Under a tree. 

I find your eyes under a sign.
You can’t decide what happens next. 
Cause you’re so twisted, you’re so tempted.
Cannot hide it, cannot accept it now.

We die inside a super star.
And time ticks by.
You slip and slide.
The path aligns.

The pressure fails to read the code.
It happens slow, a bomb explodes.
Cause you’re so twisted, you’re so tempted.
Cannot hide it, cannot accept it now.

Chorus
You and I.
We have to watch seals die.
The clouds have eyes and now we’re compromised.
We have to watch the bomb destroy.
Everything, everything, everything we have under the sun.

Am I alive? My body’s cold, but I don’t know.
Can barely breathe. Can barely move.

I find it funny that we made it.
The floor has cracked and two large pieces.
Far apart, too much debris.
Fires burn as far as I can see.

So I don’t know what happens now the sun is cold.
A flower born into this world.
Without remorse, without disease.
But somehow made, it somehow made it.
I won’t stop this. I won’t let it.
Please don’t let it go before it dies.

clipping. - BODY & BLOOD (GRYPT REMIX)

Static Daydream is the new project of Paul Baker (founding member of Skywave and Ceremony), and their first full-length release is comprised of 11 noisy pop songs swathed in reverb and distortion.

In 2012, Paul, and his girlfriend and musical partner, Jamie Casey, began recording what would become their debut EP, "The Only One," released on Moon Sounds Records in 2014 to much adoration.  Here's a review from Clank For Breakfast:

"Once you enter the door to the four melody-kisses-noise songs on this EP, you’re hooked and feel home in less than a sec. Whether it’s the dynamically circulating opener “The Only One” with its delightfully seductive, crisp chorus, the groovy “I Want To Break Your Heart” with its bittersweet charm and The Cure reminding guitar colors, the gently swirling dreampop cloud “Disbelief” featuring the fairylike, beautiful vocals by Jamie Casey and additional programming by Jake Reid (Screen Vinyl Image), or the closing noisepop candy “Inside” with its sparkling energy and sweet'n'yearning scent - this trip showcases skilful songwriting and offers embracing harmonies as well as crunchy edges, pulse-quickening, fiery moments as well as relaxed flirts".

Their self-titled album on Saint Marie Records with Moon Sounds Records, released in 2015, is full of melancholic, romantic, distortion-fueled songs, dripping with reverb and classic songwriting.  Inspired by 60's girl groups, 80's and 90's British noise-pop, and assisted by Jake Reid of Screen Vinyl Image and Ice Station Mastering, Static Daydream's debut is full of dreamy, hook-laden songs reminiscent of Skywave, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Slowdive.

Static Daydream - Until You're Mine

ALREADY GONE

When night falls she stays and awaits him
The night of the red cloak, to save me
From death to life, he'll baptize me
Renew and convert me to being
wake now
from deep in your dreaming
wake now
from dead in your sleeping
don't cry now
can't dread in your weeping
wake to
the hell you are seeing
Bird of night forgo my life for me
At daybreak sing over my calyx
A lull for tranquility-solace
We'll lie at the water's edge 
wake now
from deep in your dreaming
wake now
from dead in your sleeping
Don't cry now
can't dread in your weeping
wake to
the hell you are seeing
Nine circles we pass through to rebirth
When Virgil can light me the way
Limbo to treason we journey
Emerge at dawn to the stars 

Lotus

Favored Nations single "Always" from upcoming album "The Great Unknown". 

Always

Tonight’s Decision, Katatonia’s debut release for Peaceville Records, was the band's fourth album and found the band further developing the more song-orientated style explored on their previous album Discouraged Ones. 

Immediately heralded as a classic by fans, Tonight’s Decision stylistically builds on the refined 'shoe-gazing' qualities of their previous album, while simultaneously exploring the more extreme sonic possibilities of the Katatonia sound. 

Jonas's growing interest in singer/songwriters is reflected in the album's sound, and wonderfully exemplified by the thoughtful and moving rendition of Jeff Buckley’s Nightmares By The Sea. 

The brilliant combination of Anders’ haunting guitar work and Jonas's potent lyrics evokes images of urban decay and emotional turmoil in a way unique to this always searching band.

tempest

Echolust is an American band formed in Long Beach, California in 2011. The band consists of musicians Philip Obando, Armond Angeles and Tony Lee Jackson. Together, they recapture and reinterpret important eras of subculture essence that has musically influenced them their entire lives, through personal point of views, perspectives, experiences, gains and losses. 



Philip was about to give it all up, annoyed and frustrated with the lack of finding the right people to write music with. One summer, upon recording a few demos in 2012, he met Armond through friends at an Echo and The Bunnymen show in Los Angeles. Armond did bass work for a Smiths-like sounding band. But after a few recorded tracks, there was no more motion and movement and they disbanded soon thereafter. Philip and Armond exchanged information and a couple months later started recording songs. The goal was to create a five track EP release. However, instead of an EP, they decided to write an entire LP record, and soon sought the talents of a lead guitarist. While the music that was being created sounded great, there was an element missing. Philip told Armond that the tracks needed a sound that was more distorted, something of a mixture of Cocteau Twins, Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine. One night, Philip was Dj-ing at a small dive bar when he met Tony. During a Cocteau Twins track, Tony approached Philip and they soon started talking about music. That's when Philip knew he was the right guy for the job. Tony's musical background consists of having recorded work for bands, Pile Up and Russian Bones, however stalled in 2001 due to death, drug addiction and personal bickering. But soon, all three were recording new material. 



All three bring very specific elements to the table. Armond's basslines are reminiscent of a beloved 80's gloomy English Post Punk era, cold, delayed and distant, Tony's experimental shoegaze textures captures a wildly beautiful but contained distortion, while Philip's guitar, synth and lyrics tell stories about a sense of personal loss, wonder and moving on. 

It’s been one of the more curious things about Los Angeles: Here, in the land of sun, sand and self-importance, a vital vein of post-punk music — and its shoegaze, darkwave and industrial variants — has always flowed freely. Echolust are among the latest to indulge in shadowy soundscapism. The Long Beach duo of Philip Obens and Armond Angeles this spring released a seven-song collection titled “Fourier Series” that sounds like it came from some gloomy U.K. city in the 1980s. Which is a good thing for fans of Joy Division, the Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen and inhabitants of that musical lineage. Obens handles the singing, guitar and synths here, Angeles the bass, and together they’ve nailed the foreboding but cathartic beauty of the music.
