PREMIERE : Roe Deers - Berries

Music For Dreams are proud and excited to announce the signing of Julie Pavon to the label.

'High' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Bursting onto the scene, the Danish-Honduran singer has set herself apart as one of the most exciting artists and performers on the Danish dance music scene. With a charged, fiery voice and direct, expressive songwriting, she twists sophisticated
deep house beats into fresh, unorthodox pop songs that throb with pathos.

With only three songs out, Julie has already caught the attention of audiences and critics alike, with Soundvenue (DK) calling her “the country’s most fierce and savage live performer.” Her second single, ‘Jealous’, was premiered by Gilles Peterson on
BBC and her third, ‘Don’t Call Me Out’ received pick of the week on national Danish radio P3. She has played a sold-out headliner show in Copenhagen and performed
 at Roskilde Festival, Heartland, Lollapalooza (Berlin) plus multiple shows in Germany and the UK.

Julie’s first outing for Music for Dreams will be the single ‘High’, to released September 8. The track reveals a more austere, atmospheric sound than her previous material. An estranged voice ringing through the loveless space of a dubby, compulsively driven house beat.

Julie says: “The song is about the emotional contrasts in how I experience myself
through the eyes of others. The high is the state of joy and desire and pure energy. The line ‘I’m so much more fun, ain’t I?’ is both sort of strong assertion and a more timid or vulnerable question to those around me. Am I really?

There is a process of understanding that it isn’t just the highs that are positive but that you can also be appealing or have value in other frames of mind. But at the same time, isn’t the highs still just more fun?

There are a lot of layers and complexities in that feeling that I want to capture in the song. I picture this scene of standing on the dancefloor and being just where I want, this sense of infinite joy. And then everything ending, and the darkness descending. I try to turn over this scene through the verses, the emotional states involved in it and the attitudes towards the world they give rise to. The impulse that if you don’t understand this darkness, then you don’t get to see me in the light either. As a way of taking back control."


‘High’ is produced in collaboration between Julie Pavon and Uffe Christensen. It is the first single in a lead-up to an EP for Music for Dreams.

Sally Shapiro - Rent

Loud Quitting is a song that combines the raw and controlled power of early The Strokes with the melodic jangle guitars and upbeat bass of The Smiths. It's a fusion of styles and moods that charts new directions for this once "just amazing" jangle-pop act. “Loud Quitting” serves as a political song about existential crisis, denial and the disillusionment of the millennial generation towards the pillar of old-days society and thoughts of our fathers.
lyrics
Mistakes were made
And then bombs were blown
We waited quiet
The seeds were sown

I’m glad you’re learning
I’ll let you on it
I’ll let you want it
Then raise the cloth

By reconnecting the strings of old
The ones you used many times before
We pledge alliance
You must be loaded
I’m really craving this plate of gold
Unless you want it, then I don’t need it no more

Slack off
We’re not
machine pieces
Slack off
Rip off
Take all
Constant recess
Trademark:
Waste time
Non-productive
Quitter
Cry loud
Laugh louder
Eyes crossed
Bewildered

Back off
Back rows
Where we belong
Do not
As you’re told
Dropout
Non-believer
Breakout
Burn-out
Break all
Into pieces
Lights out
Lights out
Lights out
We’re leaving

Sea Stacking

Little one, you flew too high
on your left and on your right
there is no one to rely on

All those pictures in your dreams
none of them are what they seem
crumble right before your eye

Little one, I wish you’d call
hear you singing through the wall
there is so much love inside

Of your heart i can’t believe
we both said some messed up things
took advantage every time

It’s alright if your friends don’t understand you
It’s alright if your friends don’t ask
How’s it feel now?

Little one, you moved out west
put our problems to the test
holding on to what you hope for

Letters opened, never read
Doesn’t matter what they said
You can never change my mind

It’s alright if your friends don’t understand you
It’s alright if your friends don’t wanna ask about you
It’s alright if your friends don’t understand you
It’s alright if your friends don’t ask
But how’s it feel now?

Little one
