Black Taffy - Geraldine

Heart is sound to let go 
Did you think I could leave my home 

Meet me in the doorway 
You're calling my name 
And if I see you on a sad day 
Or if I see you in another place 

Hey turn the lights off 
And all the stars 
Hey turn the lights off 
And all the stars and 
All the stars let them die 

Heart is sound to let go 
Did you think I could leave my home 

Meet me in the doorway 
You're calling my name 
You said I shouldn't run away 
You told me not to be afraid 
I notice in the mornings 
I can feel them fading grey 
Now I know I'm in another place 
And I know I'll never be the same 

Hey turn the lights off 
And all the stars 
Hey turn the lights off 
And all the stars and 
All the stars let them die

https://swanschamber.bandcamp.com/album/swans-chamber

Leaving Records presents Swan’s Chamber, the latest idiosyncratic statement of musical purpose from Georgia based multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Taylor Ross. Listeners may know Ross from his two prior releases on Leaving as Surface to Air Missive. Where those records were DIY gems of staunchly progressive indie rock, Swan’s Chamber conjures a world of stately manors, baroque architecture and full southern gothic immersion. Heavy on classical guitar, recorder, and piano, Swan’s Chamber is a picaresque set of southern classical compositions. The swan is a fitting mascot for this album’s elegant and graceful instrumentals. 

Incepted by Ross while in Berlin on a tour of Europe in 2016, Swan’s Chamber is a conscious shift from rock to classical. Its complex pieces showcase a vibrantly creative mind working at a high level. The album’s striking cover image, a photo of an abandoned yet majestic antebellum mansion, distinctively embodies the music. From the elegant medieval barbs of opening track “Swan One (of the South),” to the heart rending chords of the closing title track, Swan’s Chamber is a cohesive slab of sumptuous beauty. The album’s two sides are split up by winding centerpiece “Swan’s Ghost,” a serpentine, enigmatic slow burner of haunting classical blues. Full of living history and first rate musicianship, Swan's Chamber makes a stunning impression.

DC Promo Tracks #324: Rollmottle "Loose Contact"

Slow and smooth build up with an intense but mellow peak that just goes on and on. It fills you with empathy and intense sensation heightening. SWIM smoked a joint halfway through and melted into the couch. It’s perfect for a rolling party with a group of friends, though SWIM imagines it would be great for a proper party too. Sometimes SWIM felt like dancing, but spent most of the time staring into space. This is really nice, intense, smooth and mellow. Get ahold of these if you get the chance!

Note: Your experience will vary depending on your settings. If you're in a bad place with bad people, you won’t feel a thing.

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side

twenty fkn two, a young adult to some and old teenager to most. As you know by now that the number is really just a reference point for our children to quote at kick-ons, proclaiming to know which episode was the best whilst they shotgun vapour UDL’s and ingest usb cig’s directly into their personal hard drives. 
anyway, back to the now, and the now is bought to you by none other than the milky bar kid himself Mr. Jack Nelson aka long slim aka the dust nugget aka lifeworld larrikin. 

This kid has been paying attention since day dot, years of research that shines through in his exceptional skills as a disc jock and tasteful selector. Running and gunning his way into the ‘scene’ and establishing his own take on the world through his collective ‘Lifeworld’. A good man to boot, he’s always willing to listen and learn, his genuine smile on every dance floor is a welcome relief from half crook smirks of the average attendee. Works for a wine distro and takes exceptional photo’s, he’s a man after my own heart. 

Little did I know how deep his love for audible world went until I heard his mix, it stirred up every emotion known to man and even some new ones that are yet to be discovered. The absolute embodiment of the FHUO aesthetics, a deliciously curated sojourn throughout the hearable history of all things musical. Dipping and tripping through the genre’s like skipping a rock across the pond, infinite skip’s a never-ending pond. Bang on three hours of pure bliss, this is an all circumstance’s mix, I may be bias but I’m not wrong. Enough of my shit. Listen. 

Elevate your damn self. 

Merci.

***Lyrics***
I hope,
There is something inside Inside
On the other side
A room of skin
Thick skin, underneath Down there..
      
Venus is open,
Shes yelling out loud!
Shes not alone, eggs in his crowd
A bubble of isolation for two
Venus is open, she’s yelling out loud
      
I feel,
It growing inside me A big life
On the other side
A hall of fluids
Thick skin Underneath
The opening..
      
Venus is open,
Shes yelling out loud!
Shes not alone, eggs in his crowd
A bubble of isolation for two
Venus is open, she’s yelling out loud

Mind’s Eye

yeah I’ve always been waiting for this
the only thing I need is your kiss
I can see the stars in the window
and I love the way your eyes glow now
come and see the stars align

dark skies
coastline
look up at the moon, watch your beauty lie
cause me and you
are one without the two
ill be with you
till I lie dead in my tomb
looking at your eyes
it’s like some stars align
write me like a line
you’re the one thing on my mind
