Tekst:
flygende svevende og stupende
det kjennes ut som om vi er de siste levende
de eneste som kom seg løs

vold med innhold åpner øyne med blindvold
ser ut i verden med bind foran
stirrer rett i lyset mens de skyter i Paris
går rundt i Bergen med bind foran

men aldri vi

varmeste korteste og våteste
vi er blitt sånn som vinteren som oftest er
rundt om her

vold med innhold åpner øyne med blindvold
ser ut i verden med bind foran
stirrer rett i lyset mens de skyter i Paris
går rundt i Bergen med bind foran

men aldri vi
eg lukker aldri øynene rundt deg
men aldri vi
men aldri vi
eg lukker aldri øynene rundt deg
men aldri vi
alle øynene på deg
men aldri vi
eg lukker aldri øynene rundt deg
men aldri vi

Rafael Vigilantics’ new song, Ramblin’ Bones, is the dark grit in the bottom of a fortune teller’s cup.  Mysterious and foreboding, the video images captured by Sarah Remetch match perfectly the mood that producer Sanford Parker and musical Co-Author Noah Harmon (The Airborne Toxic Event) created in the song. Ramblin’ Bones is about never being able to quite go home or leave behind the things that haunt us. About how a fresh start seems to only come from the deepest and most brutal of fires.

Bet She Looks Like You

An old Swedish proverb goes ‘Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow’.  Interesting on how we can all still relate to it today, most of the day, day after day, every single day…
 
In the shape of their upcoming new single “Nothing Lasts Forever (And It’s Fine)” the Scandi duo Flora Cash say stop to the worrying pessimism of our generation unable to simply ‘stress less- live more’. The band shares their on-going hope by spreading that powerful message, as described best by Robert Eliot “Rule number one is, don’t sweat the small stuff. Rule number two is, it’s all small stuff”. 
 
“Nothing Lasts Forever (And It’s Fine)” is a good first step towards drawing a tad closer to that mind-set by putting a melodic hint of perspective into our lives and relationships, even if only for 3min 48 seconds.

The subtle guitar in the style of DIIV dressed with Poliça-like arrangements and led by male/female- vocal liaison, the duo adds: “The track is about embracing imperfection and temporality. It’s about an attitude of acceptance and the willing - (almost joyful) – embrace of change, not fear of it”.
 
“Nothing Lasts Forever (And It’s Fine)” does exactly what the title suggests. It helps the listener, as well as the band themselves, come to terms with the fact that although nothing lasts forever, it really is fine…

The Bad Boys

Flora Cash - The Bad Boys

"Blood Spitting" is taken from the debut 7" by Brooch, a new project featuring Ben Stidworthy from Ought and Mikkel Holm Silkjær from Yung, out 31st March. Limited to 300 copies, 100 of which are on green vinyl and only available through the Tough Love online shop

"I rode back to Aarhus with Yung after we toured together last winter. Every day, Mikkel and I would write and record one song at their scando-office rehearsal space, and then go out in the evenings. These songs emerged from us without discussion or direction, and I feel they captured an energy that was resonating in black and white. Blood Spitting is a collection of fragments that I collected over the course of a very long year. It’s a historically-situated conversation between a healer and a lover who search for remedies that aren’t real. They are the first lyrics I’ve ever been proud of. " - Ben Stidworthy

Biography:
Brooch is the glimmering spinoff of a tour that Ben Stidworthy and Mikkel Holm Silkjær did together with their bands, Montreal’s Ought and Aarhus’ Yung.  Their first offering of two songs are like the people behind them: youthful and yet already wise, cold-hearty and yet with ripe with a primrose melodicism.  “Blood Spitting” and “Broken Glass” are an expertly crafted pair of rock songs, but ones that maintain that burgeoning kind of playfulness that comes from a new collaboration.

The tracks were recorded over two days in Aarhus, DK in November 2015.  Ben continues, as he does in Ought, to play bass like a craftsman makes a fine chair and expands his palate to not only lush organ playing but also whispery and emotive vocals.  Mikkel, Yung’s principal songwriter, continues to show off his multi-instrumentalism as he offers guitar, drums and, as he does in Yung, vocals.

In “Blood Spitting”, Ben shows his poetic heart atop a crisp and revolving drum and guitar melody that recalls the quietest moments of And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out-era Yo La Tengo.  And yet a tender edginess appears lyrically: “For the blood spitting and vertigo,” he sings “these days are muddled by dust.”  It is a striking juxtaposition, the lush organ tones with words such as this.  It alone almost conjures the cold room they recorded in: a few beer bottles clattering on the cement while a soft cough, visible breath and a smile break the quiet between takes. 

Mikkel answers on his side of the pair with a distinctly piercing and yet lush vocal presence.  “Broken Glass” features violin from the duo’s friend Lena Geue which balances the more rugged bass tone and chugging, almost off-kilter rhythm of the thing.  “A see-through window is not a rare sight, but a shattered one will leave blood behind,” replies Mikkel beyond his warbly and fierce guitar line.

These are both songwriters who know when to leave space, when to sustain a moment, and yet are unafraid to play ornamentally.  It is a rich collaboration, bursting at the edges when you take stock of who these songwriters are, and yet contained here in a small capsule that introduces us to their voices together.  It is a bit like a brooch, in that way, something they would both wear in real life.  I’d wear this 7” on my jacket.  And with songs like this for the kindling of a project, it’s pretty exciting to think about what happens next.
