Debris Discs’ Best of the Net

LYRICS

Eat me alive
So sick of sedentary life
It’s time to stir up the pot
Meet me out in the parking lot

Wind me up watch me go into the night time
Gas me up like a shot hitting the mainline
Searching for something like pacification
Roaming on the streets with no destination

Feel what you feel
Addicted to a story
That you know isn’t real
A switchblade allegory

Cruisin with the bay boys
Riding to the edge of the earth
No one’s gonna stop the bay boys
Ride or die til the end

The road is my love
Like the leather stud fit of a glove
And when I forget who I am
She’ll always take me right back again

Cuz when everything is said and done
Baby I was born to run
So the second I’m feelin a little vacation
Skipping this town with no hesitation

Fear like a phantom
Running from your shadow
But it seeps in like a venom
The dream you live is hollow

Cruisin with the bay boys
Riding to the edge of the earth
No one’s gonna stop the bay boys
Ride or die til the end

Cruisin with the bay boys
Light it up and watch it burn
No one’s gonna stop the bay boys
Try and you’re gonna learn

Bay Boys

John Rohek - 'Honestly, Don't Get Up'

How do you recognise yourself?
You told me that your father was killed in Sweden
We know that that was someone else
And why do you suppose that would make us even?

Yes, I am calling into check
Listen, I am checking in
I am calling into check

Side to side around me
No, honestly, don’t get up
It would’ve been alright if you hadn’t found me
Cause I would’ve sniffed you out
Something of a crowd building up behind me
Trying to get out the door

Why don’t you do something that we can’t ignore

You’re suddenly beside yourself
And someone had to force you to say the reason
You’re lucky we arrived with help
You’re lucky we were there to absorb the feeling

But obviously I know, that was a while back now
Yeah, obviously, I know
That was a while back now
And I am calling into check

Side to side around me
No, honestly, don’t get up
It would’ve been alright if you hadn’t found me
Cause I would’ve sniffed you out
Something of a crowd building up behind me
Trying to get out the door

Why don’t you do something that we can’t ignore

I’m trying to adjust the lighting
So that we can all relax
Don’t know what it is that is so inviting
Or what we do after that
Something of a crowd building up behind me
Trying to get out the door

Why don’t you do something that we can’t ignore

Listen, I am checking in
Calling into check
Calling into check

Listen, I am checking in
Calling into check
Calling into check

Listen, I am checking in
Calling into check
Calling into check

Listen, I am checking in
Calling into check
Calling into check

Honestly, Don't Get Up

An effervescent pop song about depression and self-discovery. It’s fun.

Undercover

In one week during the month of September 2021, my brother had a baby, my sister got married and I broke up with my long term boyfriend and had to temporarily move back in with my parents. Someone has to be the hot mess.
During one tragic zoom session in that time period, my hot therapist told me when I was feeling this bad to remember to drink water and get dressed then my dad, passing me in the corridor afterwards, told me I had 'dropped my smile on the floor.' This is a homage to that tapestry of support I got at the time. The first verse is also a letter I wrote to myself to say thanks for getting through it.
I produced this in my Peckham flat and loved getting my violin out for the strings sections!
I also did the artwork with help from my dad on the car!

The complete concert experience. Recorded live in Portugal in 2023, this is the full, uninterrupted one-man-band performance from Paranoid Beer & Records.

This show is an instrumental journey through the two core energies of The Magnetic Brain Band: the heavy, psychedelic funk inspired by Funkadelic, and the vast, atmospheric voyages of space rock and jazz fusion inspired by Pink Floyd and Herbie Hancock. All sounds you hear were created live on a single MIDI guitar, using live looping and a host of effects to build the sound of a full ensemble.

Thank you to the incredible team at Paranoid Beer & Records for the amazing atmosphere.

Debut album 'Post War Plans' out now on AnalogueTrash Records. 

Debris Discs is the solo venture of former Coves & Caves/My Side of the Mountain member James Eary. Nestled up in the hills of the High Peak in Derbyshire, James contrasts rural, understated songwriting with an arsenal of dusty synths, drum machines, effects pedals and a trusty old telecaster. The result is a kind of windswept, cinematic yet lo-fi soundscape with a resolutely pop sensibility. 

This is DIY music, homemade by someone probably too old to be sat at the end of the bed sharing songs on socials. This is spare-bedroom pop. Crafted while the kids are asleep and making use of any musical toys left lying around. Lyrics written on post-it notes stuck to the work laptop, melodies hummed on the school run and beats tapped-out while unloading the dishwasher. Humdrum origins that evolve into dreamy, enveloping washes of electronic, harmonic pop music.
