Becoming your true self is a game often played in inches. Pockets of discovery and growth can appear behind the obscurity of frustration, leading to stretches of brilliance. It’s a visual Evan Brock ties to his latest project. Speaking about the records in its canon (debut Slowly Spiraling Towards the Light and the forthcoming I can feel an ending), “moments of Laika Songs are supposed to sound like when you look up through the trees and can see a little sky peeking through, and the light hits the leaves just right.”

The intersection of the natural and the artificial is where Laika Songs gains most of its inertia. Fragmented synth lines intermingle with everything from lumbering acoustic guitars to luxurious saxophones, bridging the gap between environmental zen and digital confusion. I can feel an ending expands the search for meaning first dispatched on the first LP by collaborating with a wide variety of musicians and friends to divine some clearer answers.

Emboldened by post-pandemic connectivity and the power of letting control fall to chance, Evan reached out to potential players with nothing but demos and deep knowledge of their musical histories. Stems would serve as signposts, but finished products diverged from original designs. The result accidentally mirrors Evan’s...  more

"Black Lagoon is the lead single from Still Corners 4th album Slow Air.  With clean toned electric guitar, a driving beat, and the smoky crooning of Tessa Murray, Black Lagoon contains the shimmering atmospherics Still Corners are well known for.  The cinematic video that accompanies the track finds the band on a journey from the desert to the ocean in search of a lost Eden. Filmed over a month in California, Arizona and Texas and shot on a small handheld cinema camera, the band travels across America in a white mustang convertible searching and reaching into the unknown."

Yohuna - Mirroring

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.

C Duncan - Talk Talk Talk

Take 
From me what you've 
Needed 
I'm alone 
And 
I don't need a 
Reason 

When love's just a feeling 
(Love's just a- ) 
When love's just a feeling 

(Don't forget 
That) 

Your love's just a feeling 
(Love's just a- ) 
Your love's just a feeling 
(Love's just a- ) 
Your love's just a feeling 
(Love's just a- ) 
Your love's just a feeling 

I know what I want 
And now's when I need 
Your charm is disarming 
So inconvenient 
This isn't real 
Don't need a reason 
Means to an end 
And the end of a season 
Your heart is prison 
Lust is misleading 
Worship is bondage 
And fondness is fleeting 
Got what I wanted 
Now that I'm leaving 
Love's just a feeling 
Your love's just a feeling 

It's gonna take some 
Time 
To get you out my 
Mind 

It's gonna take some 
Time 
To get you out my 

Your love's just a feeling 
Your love's just a feeling 
Your love's just a feeling 
Your love's just a feeling 
Your love's just a feeling

Just a Feeling
