Need You (Demo)

Can you show me how.
Will you tell me now?
Just understand its fragile, but safe.
Still you're fully proud, its just any sound
& I steer myself against the end.
Yet, Its only torn to shreds.
Can you show me how. 
will you tell me now?
I've told myself to plead, can you hold this down, just for now.

"Country Church" is from the album 'Horse' out 10/16

About 'Horse' by Holy Motors

Holy Motors' new LP 'Horse,' which is due out on Wharf Cat on October 16th, finds the band acknowledging the Americana and rockabilly strands of their musical DNA without sacrificing any of the otherworldly mystique that keeps them from neatly conforming to the shoegaze and dreampop labels often applied to their music.  

From the album’s opening moments, songs like “Country Church,” with its major key and classic rhythm and blues guitarline, and “Midnight Cowboy,” which sounds like a lost Buddy Holly 45 played at 33 rpm, make it clear that Horse — even if it may not accomplish the impossible task of demystifying this band of ex-Soviet cowboys — will at least show you that there’s more to them than the near-impenetrable darkness of their work to date may suggest. Although tracks like “Trouble” and “Endless Night” gravitate toward the ethereal production and existential subject matter of prior releases, repeat listens reveal complex compositions and an empathy that is central to this eight-song album.  

As a whole, Horse stands as a warmer, more human counterpoint to 2018’s celestial Slow Sundown, and showcases Holy Motors as a hypnotic force that draws listeners in and leaves them wanting more. This effect, paired with their ability to write lyrics and music that resonate with a deeply relatable feeling of isolation, has resulted in an album built to connect with people from devoted shoegaze and western psychedelia fanatics to dreamer cowboys, driving through wide open country roads under the stars.

Holy Motors - Country Church (From the album 'Horse' out 10/16)

Lyrics: 
Running round New Orleans in the rain with a soup-ed up catholic boy who is ready for anything. It’s not like that though, much more tame, we liked the same girl anyway.
Who am I to follow when I don’t know the way to go.
Swigging whiskey from the bottle with a girl so pretty she could be a model in New York city on the underground. Felt like a movie, not like dad when he’s down.
Here we are at 4am in an uptown diner. Been drinking spirits behind the bar with some resting actors.
Smoked a spliff with no tobacco, I felt so ill I couldn’t move my head at all.

City skies is a single from Grids & Dots debut EP 'What happens to friendships'.

City Skies

Directly from Mexico, FLXXX gives us an EP, very well seasoned, like that spicy full of suspense, that makes you feel its fury and then delivers an addictive flavor.
So this duo makes us travel through the groove based on a pure slow combustion, delicate but strong like a locomotive. Its enigmatic synth lines break every orthodox ear, sliding through dark disco tints and electro reminiscences.
This twelfth reference from Side UP Works offers us two Original Mixes full of dance power, and cherry on the cake, the New Yorker Facets adds fuel to the fire with a forceful remix full of character, capable of enthralling the most demanding dancer, and to culminate And as if all this were not enough, the Spanish Álvaro Cabana and Azaria add to this magnificent work, a most excellent remix taken from the very matrix.

PREMIERE : FLXXX - Landing Slowly (Álvaro Cabana & Azaria Remix)

This compilation was made by beautiful humans from all around the world. It is a collection of 11 varied tracks. It is noisy, experimental, sometimes brutal, with choir, different languages, vocals, piano and drums... While the tracks are all different, they are united by the fight against domestic violence.

As you may know, this pandemic is a nightmare for women facing domestic and sexual abuse. In many situations they have been forced into lockdown with their abuser.

The money raised on Bandcamp will go to La Fédération Nationale Solidarité Femmes, a French charity helping women in distress. Please consider buying this release if you appreciate it and spread the word about the current situation.

If you or someone you know is facing violence, despite how hard and impossible it might feel, help is out there and it is possible to escape the situation you're in.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Violence needs to stop.

Leitstrahl were raised on a strict diet of electronic music. Electro pop. Italo Disco. Synth movie scores. This was the bread and butter of this three man Austrian outfit. With more than fifteen years of band history, the trio of Stoff, Paul Raal and Boogaloo Steve are as proud as punch to announce their debut album: Chromium Dioxide. For their thirteen tracks the triumvirate have pooled their enthusiasm and experience, calling on a string of friends to give their selection a unique energy and emotion. Jon Jon, aka John Foster, of Bronski Beat fame, offers his vocals for the rollercoaster ride of “Europa Supersaw.” Nicole Jaey’s mellifluous voice soars in the blazing “Chevrolée,” Christina Mirabilis lends her sweet lyrics for the fiery “Girotti” with Jimmy Baker voicing the pop heartbreak of “White Tail.” Synthlines sparkle across the collection, magical melodies pirouetting in a haze of deep Summer sun. Coursing through the entire album is passion, a passion crystallised in addictive hooks, laserdance rhythms and fledgling romance, a passion that combines Hi-NRG intensity with the reflection of wave and the optimism of italo. Inspired by the 1980s, simply inspirational today.

LYRICS:It was a simple dare from a boy
"So, will you swim the river?"
I was young and didn't care
Going to show I wasn't scared
I was going to deliver

How rivers turn into seas
How this all became a part of me
How this all became bigger than me
Much bigger than me

I swam so long, I couldn't see back
And I couldn't stop shivering
But I swam the river until my faraway friends
Were just a sliver, far off

I swam til the water was a mirror
Reflecting all I was
Until I was free of everything
I listened to my own breath
As I felt the cold rush
Of the waves wash over me
Until I was empty
