Five Things We Liked This Week - 29/03/19

C Duncan - Health

oh no

Antwaun Stanley & Vulfpeck - Wait For The Moment

Trésors 60's

Brown Eyed Girl

On his debut mini-album, ​I’m Never Really Here​, ​darvid thor (The Cactus Channel, Frida, Karate Boogaloo) explores what it’s like to make music alone. After playing and writing in bands for over a decade, ​I’m Never Really Here​ is darvid’s first solo venture, and it finds real solace in the solitary.

These songs might seem just dreamy on first listen, with their meandering guitar lines and warm, woozy synthesisers, Thor’s voice at turns a light falsetto and a warm tenor but ​I’m Never Really Here handles material that’s sometimes heavy with a light touch. At times anxious and quietly anguished, tender and candid, these are songs about a growing-up, a breakup, and everything in between. There are traces of Darvid’s soul influences and undergrad jazz degree here, but most present are the wide array of indie and alternative acts that have been influencing his singing, playing, and production: catchy and understatedly complex, these songs both sparkle and stutter.

Darvid recorded ​I’m Never Really Here ​alone in his bedroom — but for some drum/percussion help from Cactus Channel bandmate Hudson Whitlock on lead single ​“Rest of Your Life” and drum production from housemate Max Dowling (Yelderbert, Tetrahedra) on ​“overgrown” — over the course of a year or so. Having spent most of his musical career as an integral member of The Cactus Channel and Frida, Thor saw a solo project as an exhilarating, if daunting opportunity to learn more about himself, as a musician and as a person.

His sweet melancholy of jangly guitars and warbled synthesizers have afforded support from ​Beach Fossils​, ​Danger Mouse​, ​Double J​, ​Triple J Unearthed and ​Indie Shuffle, to name a few. Live, Darvid expands his setup to a four-piece band including Lewis Coleman, Levi Heeringa & Hugh Rabinovici.

I'm Never Really Here

Can I Be?

Gold Rush

10 K

Cold head, hot sheets - big windows all I need
Deep breath, morning - the possibilities 
One day some sense might bless our heads, entropic and divine 
Locked in, big win - thrilled and thrown aside 
So bad at reacting - bleeding out the cause
We’ve been talking way too much, we’ve been acting way too tough
It’s slow, big snow - trickles in a row
Good news, half truths - just paint me blue and oak
I’ll put my mouth where my hand out is - slamming on the door
Slow kiss, hard miss, attracted to the glow 
So stop. Heard you said you never were one to fight or get mixed up 
But it’s been dragging on and on. Yes, we’re so bad … 
At reacting -  bleeding out the cause
We’ve been talking way too much
We’ve  been acting way to tough
We’ve been slighted, we’ve been stung
We’ve been warned and we’ve been wronged

Sebadoh - celebrate the void

C Duncan’s highly anticipated third album sees the Scottish multi-instrumentalist ditch his bedroom studio and work with other producers, engineers and musicians for the first time. “This was the biggest shift in dynamic for me,” he explains, “having always worked alone, it was a daunting prospect but one I knew I had to explore.” Navigating themes of love, anxiety and sexuality, ‘Health’ – produced by Elbow’s Craig Potter - is a deeply personal record that delves into a world Duncan had previously felt uneasy exploring.

📝 Lyrics:

Been wondering how i could belong here
Cause this sure as hell don’t feel like home
I don’t want to live and die here
Sometimes I just wanna go

Maybe it’s the girl
Or maybe it’s just God I’m running from
Maybe it’s this life
Of countless times that I have tried
to break i’ve tried to break
the cycles

I don’t know if I can keep on
Hearing all I’ve done wrong
seems like no one thinks that day’s gone
But I assure you it is done

Maybe it’s the girl
Or maybe it’s just God I’m running from
Maybe it’s this life
Of countless times that I have tried
to break i’ve tried to break
the cycles

No Quit

Recorded at RAK studios in London, 'Mad' is the first single from The King's Parade's upcoming EP.

Lead singer Olly Corpe says: 
"'Mad' is about the energy felt between two people we tend to call chemistry. It can happen the second you see or meet someone, or it can happen over time but it’s just a feeling you have within yourself. It can’t be quantified or justified, it’s just a state of being. Sometimes it feels so mysterious that you start to question it’s existence at all. 'Mad' is about that moment."

📝 Lyrics:

Yeah I met you on the first day of August so many years ago
Heard you got into some bad things, no I didn’t want that no
You can keep your keepsakes
‘Cause I tend to let things go

And I run and I run and I run and I run
Just like I’ve always done
And I run and I run and I run and I run
Just like I’ve always done

I ride the train to the end of the line
See the West, and South, and North on the signs
Eastside wind-chill, negative five, 
Got a dead-end mind on Norfolk Drive
I’ve been hidin’ from time to time
No my dear, woven colors in my eyes
Eastside wind-chill, we’ll be just fine
At the end of the telephone lines

Ran into you on the subway, you caught me one foot out the door
Said you got into some bad things, but you don’t want to be anymore
We don’t have to stay here no no, 
I know a place we can go

I ride the train to the end of the line
See the West, and South, and North on the signs
Eastside wind-chill, negative five, 
Got a dead-end mind on Norfolk Drive
I’ve been hidin’ from time to time
No my dear, woven colors in my eyes
Eastside wind-chill, we’ll be just fine
At the end of the telephone lines

Oh we can run we can run we can run we can run
Just like we’ve always done
We can run we can run we can run we can run
Just like we’ve always done

I ride the train to the end of the line
See the West, and South, and North on the signs
Eastside wind-chill, negative five, 
Got a dead-end mind on Norfolk Drive
I’ve been hidin’ from time to time
No my dear, woven colors in my eyes
Eastside wind-chill, we’ll be just fine
At the end of the telephone lines

📝 Lyrics:

I can’t find  my keys
Thinking about you in a warm summer breeze 
Takes me dancing through the rambling  of my mind

Blazing  like stars through rattling time 

And I cant hardly  sleep
You took me dancing in that perfect sail to sea
I often wonder if my lines find the rhyme 
Wasted alone  with a bottle of that red dry wine

And this crocked world is spinning round 
You are still without a sound
Cynthia 

I know you’ll be free 
Another Eye when the sea hits  the sky
Seeing you smile as you straighten out my tie 
Walking , side by side  down park avenue 

And this burning ball is spinning round
You are still without a sound Cynthia 

Pleasure and pain
A kiss for your life 
When no one was home 
There was nobody there
You were all alone
 Yellow and green 
 Feeling just right
When no one was watching 
When no one was there 
You were burning in flight 

And this burning ball is spinning round 
But you are still without a sound 
Cynthia 

I can’t find my keys

Lyrics:

I know who owns Studio 54
Come with me and we’ll get in the backdoor
Order golden Cadillacs up at the bar
Comeback and you’re cheating on me 
With a movie star

Got plenty of chances
If I just keep dancing
I wanna be on their level
I need that

Rare candy 
To stay up till It's dawn
At the center of attention
It's a different kind of fun

No need to be romantic
When the bass guitar is blasting
I wanna be on their level

I need that rare candy

Feeling pretty good now
I'm just here to have a good time
It's a different kind of fun
At the center of attention, yeah

Would you want to come back to my place
You’re the picture perfect model for my next painting

Lets get abstract before I get sidetracked
Small talk singles aren’t a part of my contract 

No control over my actions
Somethings starting to happen
I wanna be on their level

I need that rare candy

Feeling pretty good now
I'm just here to have a good time
It's a different kind of fun
At the center of attention, yeah

Tryna keep up tryna wake up stay 
Tryna walk straight tryna taste this flavor
Runnin low but it'll get me through tomorrow

Tryna keep up tryna wake up stay up
tryna walk straight while I taste this flavor
Running low but it'll get me through tomorrow

Tryna keep up tryna wake up stay up
tryna walk straight while I taste this flavor

Now I'm feeling pretty good now
Yea I'm never comin' downdowndowndowndown
I'm feelin' pretty good right now
Yea I feel it yea, I feel it

Feeling pretty good now
I'm just here to have a good time
It's a different kind of fun
At the center of attention, yeah

What you say to me
now, you take it all back, and you're sending me
Dancing in my mind,
Atmosphere evaporates mine, I embrace it
Integrate this state of your mind I can't take it.

I see you there, you're always
dancing in my brain
You don't know
It takes hold
Exhale the thoughts that have been
eating you away
Just let go
Let it all go.

What you say to me
now, you take it all back, and you're sending me
Dancing in my mind,
Atmosphere evaporates mine, I embrace it
Integrate this state of your mind I can't take it.

You see it
Even if your heads not in it
Can you feel it all soak?
Electricity flows

and now you're sending me west
You're racking my brain
And you're sending me dancing in my mind,
Atmosphere evaporates mine, I embrace it
Integrate this state of your mind, I can't take it.

Have you been feeling these thoughts in your mind?
Cos' i've been feeling these thoughts in my mind,
I see you opening up in my mind,
I see you taking control in my mind.

Oh i'll say what you want me to say,
Oh how do you make me feel this way,
Oh I'll say what you want me to say,
I cant be who you want me to.

I Feel Alright

A new single from Monteagle. 

Stream & Purchase Monteagle's debut album "Midnight noon" firetalkrecs.com/shop/monteagle

Monteagle is the solo moniker of Justin Giles Wilcox - best know as chief songwriter in Nassau and now defunct Tennessee band Moonlight Bride. The later of which had some early looks, collapsing just on the brink of break out success. Paste Magazine calling Wilcox’s delivery in a “Best of What’s Next” feature “tremulous, bare-souled vocals, which are as haunted and alluring as the caves that riddle the rocky hills of the band’s hometown.” Monteagle, named for a mountain inside those hills marks a re-birth for the now well seasoned indie rock vet. Expanding on the more ethereal, dreamy inclinations of past work into something closer to the history of those hills.

Flume - Friends (feat. Reo Cragun)

Set for release via FatCat Records tomorrow, C Duncan’s highly anticipated third album sees the Scottish multi-instrumentalist ditch his bedroom studio and work with other producers, engineers and musicians for the first time. Warm and harmonically rich, Duncan delightfully juxtaposes the vibrant and wholesome aesthetic of the album with an often-darker lyrical undertone, pushing himself to refine and explore new ways of writing. As the sole protagonist of his self-carved niche, ‘Health’ sees Duncan evolve and expand its parameters in mesmerising fashion.

The album’s first single ‘Impossible’ was released in January, with Duncan combining strings and oddball psychedelic sounds. Next up, the title tracks syncopated piano rhythm and brooding vocal harmonies were reminiscent of the ‘The Midnight Sun’s’ soothing aural beauty. Last but by no means least, Duncan documents the trials of rebuilding fractured relationships on the rhythmic art-funk of new single ‘Talk Talk Talk.’ He had this to say on it:

“‘Talk Talk Talk’ about miscommunication. It’s about not realising that you’re actually on the same page as someone and how a misperception can drive you apart. However, it’s also about realising this and rebuilding bridges.”

Following the Mercury nominated debut ‘Architect’ (2015,) an it’s impressive follow up ‘The Midnight Sun’ (2016,) ‘Health’s’ soaring tapestries achieve what Duncan set out to. “With album 3 I wanted to take a more direct approach, adding even more layers but thematically and lyrically laid bare. Having someone else to bounce production ideas off was really eye-opening for me. In the past I had been very controlling about how everything would sound but ‘Health’ really showed me the benefit of working with others and made the whole process much less isolating,” he explains. Packed with fresh ideas and buzzing with invention, ‘Health’ combines syncopated art-pop piano rhythms with breezy, undulating heartbreak ballads executed with acute precision. As always Duncan has contributed all the artwork surrounding the release, and the colourful and natural aesthetic is reflected in the instrumentation and lyrics.
