SW025 - Squid - The Dial

Released 17th August 2018 on What Reality? Records.

Lyrics:

What a colossal navigational problem,
I seem to be a vegetable.
No power-up packs or inventions of the same degree,
I wish that I had worn a warmer jumper.

Face on the floor, no coming back,
I’m the creation old mate Frankenstein had.
Dead end signals from head to feet,
Blinking in morse code for a state of emergency.

Commencing mission for face control,
Some kind of upper would be optimal,
Clear transmission to re-upload,
They stated, M-I-A on Kepler 1.

Eight hours in and there’s no sign I’ll be touching down,
Hopefully there’s no need for therapy yet.
I’ll just fit in and be like everyone else,
Stop all your thinking it’s no good for your soul.

Face on the floor, no coming back,
I’m the creation old mate Frankenstein had.
Dead end signals from head to feet,
Blinking in morse code for a state of emergency.

Commencing mission for face control, 
Some kind of upper would be optimal,
Clear transmission to re-upload,
They stated, M-I-A on Kepler 186F

Are You High (ft. The 90s)

If someone asked me: "Hey, Gonzalo, what music do you like?", I could perfectly press play to any of the songs of Lachlan Denton (part of The Ocean Party, that prolific and wonderful Australian group that we've been enjoying these last years). Simple, concise songs, a little cheesy. With guitars that rock you and accompany you in your melancholy, without great fuss, without haste, with care. Songs that connect with the guitar indie tradition of my favourite groups: The Go-Betweens, mainly, Lloyd Cole, REM, Felt, Real Estate. It is a breakup album (the best ones, what are we going to do), developed in the room of his friend Ben Woolley. And so it sounds, sad, fearful and slightly hopeful. Anyway, I hope you like it, it's a joy to be able to release this record on vinyl and reactivate Bobo Integral three years later.

The vinyl record will be available from September 21, you can order it now at https://bobointegral.bigcartel.com/

You can also get the record in cassette format through the Osborne Again label.

Helios - Even Today

Ever since I heard the very first piece by Dmitry Evgrafov, I’ve been keeping an eye (an ear?) on this Moscow-based composer, signed to FatCat’s 130701. My attachment was rewarded, when, back in 2017, Evgrafov released Comprehension Of Light, which instantly shot up to the top of my rotation queue and inevitably ended up being one of the best albums of the year, for the appropriately titled Music For Watching The Snow Slowly Fall In The Moonlight. Take that statement for what it is and know that I’m immediately a follower and a fan, which is why I’m incredibly honoured to present to you this exclusive premiere of a track, taken off Evgrafov’s upcoming EP, titled Return.

For this short, digital-only release, Evgrafov returns to the instrument, to gift us with his delicate playing, incorporating motifs ranging from the Romantics (I swear, I hear a bit of Rachmaninoff in there) to the contemporary and modern classical interpretations of the sound, eventually endowing with his own. Closely captured keys of fluttering and fleeting beauty are finely weaved with a texture of atmospheric grandeur to slowly build and evolve into a wide-spanning composition of sentiments and senses. Digital elements and careful effects are introduced into this composition with just enough proficient drizzle, like a swift rub of an orange twist on the rim of a glass – to give the essence of the sensation, but not to overwhelm the taste.

“The Waves” is from the upcoming EP, titled Return, scheduled to be released by 130701 on September 14th, 2018, available from all of your favourite digital outlets.

TRACK PREMIERE : Dmitry Evgrafov - The Waves

Josin – the project from German composer and producer Arabella Rauch – has announced the release of her highly anticipated debut album In The Blank Space on January 25th, 2019 via Dumont Dumont / MVKA Records. 

To mark the announcement Josin has shared the video for her new single ‘Burning (For A New Start)’ which was directed and filmed by Marc Neckermann in various places in Norway, from mountain tops nearby Oppdal to more coastal areas around Kristiansund and Molde.

Listen/Stream: http://phonofile.link/burning-for-a-new-start

 “’Burning (For A New Start)’ is a sarcastic conversation with yourself about the end of the world”, explains Josin. “You know that you are part of the bad but too comfortable to make a change. Like for example everyday habits that have an impact on our environment- we know they’re bad but we don’t quit them. The very consequence of those little lies is a run-down place that can’t be fixed and has to start all over again. Maybe without us. But that‘s not what I wish for of course - I want to draw an extreme picture of conscious self-destruction, hoping for the opposite.”

Pom Poko - Follow The Lights

Ready To Go - Bronze Radio Return

Lyrics:

I wish that I could give you the freedom 
Pulled from moments so unredeeming 
I used to fall apart, unraveling at the seams 
But she knows, she knows, she knows too well 

The constant glances over your shoulder 
Will keep you from getting any older 
You used to call upon Nature to shoot the breeze 
But she knows, she knows, she knows too well 

Your love’s a flashing light don’t get too near 
Turn it off at night; it all just disappears 

I still think it’s a life worth repeating 
Don’t waste it away digging for meaning 
I used to fall apart, drowning deep inside of a dream 
But she knows, she knows, she knows too well 

Your love’s a flashing light don’t get too near 
Turn it off at night; the world just disappears 

But she knows, she knows, she knows too well

She Knows, She Knows - Single

She Knows, She Knows

Lyrics:

I want you to know 
It's starting to show 
It ain't easy 
But I'm taking it slow 

So I don't know why it's gotta be 
Finding it hard, it's hard to breathe 
Sticks and stones 
Won't leave me alone 
Won't leave me… 

Oh 
We’ve got to let it go 
Cause I got something on my mind 
And we have got to let it go 
Cause you are that something 

Hold tight when you feel like runnin’ 
Don’t fight, we just gotta let it go 
Feels right when we’ve got it goin’ 
Don’t fight, we just gotta let it 

I 
I'm losing my mind 
It ain't easy 
To swallow my pride 

I think I need you baby 
You're all that I dream of lately 
So let's come clean 
If you know what I mean 
Shout it out, shout it out now 

Oh 
We’ve got to let it go 
Cause I got something on my mind 
And we have got to let it go 
Cause you are that something 

Hold tight when you feel like runnin’ 
Don’t fight, we just gotta let it go 
Feels right when we’ve got it goin’ 
Don’t fight, we just gotta let it 

Something nice 
Gonna say it twice 
Something nice nice 
You're a paradise 

Hold tight, when you feel like runnin’ 
Don't fight, we can find another way 
In time, when we’ve got it goin’ 
Feels right, we just gotta let it go 

Hold tight when you feel like runnin’ 
Don’t fight, we just gotta let it go 
Feels right when we’ve got it going 
Don’t fight, we just gotta let it go 

Feels right, we just gotta let it go 
Well alright, we just gotta let it

The most uplifting and catchy electronic dance music. Sounds like a cross between Daft Punk and Aphex Twin. Made using only sounds from a Jupiter-6 analog synth.
