Some people don't want to see or hear you. They change your story to validate their own narrative. They view the world through their fixed lens, and nothing anyone says or does, changes their mind. Don't waste your time trying.

LYRICS:

Your truth is 
Fixed in your head
Despite of what I say
						
Your empathy						
Is telling me				
What to feel and who to be				
 		
Reduce my 
Reality
To suit your narrative 
You want company		 
So you’re dressing me
In your misery

I guess I’m made of glass
Cause 
You look right through me 
Staring back straight at yourself 
From the other side

My voice is whistling in the wind
It goes straight through you
You hear what you want to hear 
There’s nowhere to get through to you   

It’s easy to feign
Moral superiority
When you’ve been the one 
Treated with dignity

Condescending
Don’t patronise me please
I should’ve drawn a line
You’re right
There really is no point

I guess I’m made of glass
Cause
You look right through me 
Staring back straight at yourself 
From the other side

My voice is whistling in the wind
It goes straight through you
You hear what you want to hear 
There’s no way to get through to you

You see but you don’t take it in	
You hear but aren’t listening 
A thousand words 
Will pass you by
With no acknowledgement

But the one thing 
That gets your response
Is the one fact about yourself

So much time
Chewed up
Spat out 
Sucked dry

Sucked dry

Night Creatures

AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP

Electric Body (feat. ScHoolboy Q)

Walking through the shadows
Tries to find home
But nothing really matters
Now when you´re gone

I´m losing my senses
A bottle is my friend
I´m feeling helpless
I don´t know the way

Living in the paradise
With the best friend
We made a promise
A promise to the end

We don´t know the future
We only know today
I´m feeling helpless 
I don´t know the way

Walking Through The Shadows

Variant Electronic are absolutely delighted to welcome back the wonderful talent that is Clasps, with a Solo EP asides from one remix by label owner Luke Creed. After the immense success of his first two tracks with his initial venture alongside DNoize, we were more then happy to continue our working relationship, these productions are flawless and unique, just like his other tracks on VE, and outside of Variant his other releases have a sound that cannot be matched. 
This EP consists of 3 wonderful originals, all floor destroyers, the serious techno vibe is not all this EP should be noted for, the titles "All You Need Is Glove", "Like A Reverse Prayer" and "The Whipping Song" are all plays on popular pop culture songs titles, showing Clasps humour. The Luke Creed remix of The Whipping Song is what you come to expect from Mr. Creed tees days, heavy and noisy, a nice addition to an already superb EP.

STRAY - Remember Me [AESTHETISCHE REMIX]

bitter sweet tale of self doubt and anxiety surrounded by delicate, swirly guitars that blast into grungy fuzz and pounding drums in big anthemic chorus sections

I Think My Face Hates Me:

I'm lonely smoking Lamberts in the park
Thinking of a future I can't start
I'm going home 
or I'm going down
I've been lying on the floor just eating time
Pretending there's no light behind my eyes
I'm going home 
or I'm going down
Every day I am reborn
In the skin I've had before
Every night I am the light
Before the dawn
I may just find a way to walk the line
But my knees are cracked from begging all the time
I'm going home 
or I'm going down
You told me I don't have this crucifix to bear
And if I look ahead I'll see that it's not there
I'm going home 
or I'm going down
Every day I am reborn
In the skin I've had before
Every night I am the light
Before the dawn

Dance With The Hunted

I Think My Face Hates Me

Doubt is the beginning not the end.....

Over and Doubt:
 
The tarot card flipped over in her hand
Turning around
She said, 'Look at what you have become, my friend'
Leaves on the ground
'Doubt is the beginning not the end,
stop cursing the darkness'
'Look at what you can become, my friend'
But he had already gone
These days have gone
Over and over again
These days will come
Over and over again
Please stay with me
Over and over again
Give to me some time and let me breathe
Lost in the sound
I'm finding something new in my relief
These days all behind us
Look at what we have become, my friend
This suffering will bind us to the end
These days have gone
Over and over again
These days will come
Over and over again
Please stay with me
Over and over again

Over And Doubt

Diamonds Are Forever-Shirley Bassey

01 Anyone Who Had A Heart (Radio Edit)

Sometimes you reach your limit. I wrote this song when I reached mine. The Explicit version of this song will be on my 3rd album.

Grit My Teeth (Radio Edit)

"I'm not a good talker, so music becomes my voice." 

I'm an east London producer, song writer, sound designer and vocalist. 'Fluff' is my solo project. (I'm the other half of trip-hop duo www.soundcloud.com/silverstreaks). 

Fluff-music combines traditional songwriting, indie, electronic, goth, ethereal/synth pop and experimental/cinematic sound design into powerful, emotional sound scapes. Manipulated field recordings and audio textures add suggestive sounds to evoke raw and visceral emotions in the listener. 

Influences: 
Indie/art rock, darkwave and the electroclash scene in the mid 00s. 

Discography:

'Down the Rabbit Hole' (Album, 2023).
In stores since 19th September. https://open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc 
I will be uploading high res tracks here over time.
'Down the Rabbit Hole' is a reflection on our world as it is today. Greedy, destructive, homogenised, selfish and exploitative. But we're resilient creatures. There are some fun, light-hearted tongue-in-cheek stories of adaptation and survival by becoming pretty fabulous.

'Slate Horizons' (Album, 2018) - Collaboration with @metalogue, London producer and cinematic sound designer. fluffling.bandcamp.com/album/slate-horizons
Indie-electronica, industrial, ambient, cinematic and experimental sound design.
A dark, sonic post-apocalyptic nightmare vision, dealing with events of the recent past, present and not so distant future: Social apathy, lethargy and indifference, public obedience, compliance and conformity, social paranoia, genetic mutations, nuclear threat, post apocalypse and human extinction.

'Black Cats and Criminals' (Album, 2015). https://fluffling.bandcamp.com/album/black-cats-and-criminals
A mix of ethereal electro/synth, pop and piano. Exploration of various topics of complicated human emotions.
