"'Can You?' is the first track to be made available from Fragile Creatures self-produced, self-released Heart Beat EP. The EP drops on May 3rd, 'Can You?' is available for immeditate download now when you pre-order the EP from Bandcamp.

'Can You?' is inspired by diverse themes; from Kanye West's "I Am Picasso and Steve Jobs" rant, to Sofia Coppola's film The Bling Ring, and the treatment of the last Inca emperor, Atahualpa, at the hands of the conquistadores. It's a tongue-in-cheek critique of late capitalism's obsession with the validation that luxury items can bring.

Fragile Creatures found our previous music industry set-up frustrating, from a combination of bad luck and slow moving partners our debut album came out 2 years late, with no solid plans for the follow-up we had already written. We decided to become self-reliant: we taught ourselves to record on a shoestring and I went back to school, to study the industry at WaterBear college in Brighton. Heart Beat EP is our first experiment with being a self-releasing, DIY band. We hope you like it!" Adam Kidd

Lyrics:
Can you?
Get an invite to the party
Can you?
Pass for glitterati
Can you?
Wear their clothes, act like no one knows,
You're dressed in lies from your head down to your toes

You can talk but can you listen?
You say all the glistens is not gold
Can you tell me truly that your idea of beauty
Ain't turning up in the emperor's new clothes?

Can you?
See me on the TV
Can you?
Believe they've made it into a movie?
Can you?
Watch my show, now everybody knows
I'm real I've got a brand and a cologne

You can talk but can you listen?
They say all the glistens is not gold
Can you tell me truly that your idea of beauty
Ain't turning up in the emperor's new clothes?
Can you?

You can talk, talk, talk, but can you listen?
They say all the glistens is not gold
Can you tell me truly that your idea of beauty
Ain't just stealing Atahualpa's gold?

That Spanish gold it can't help you now
Cos this is just a lie you stole
Can you tell me truly your quest for fame and booty
Ain't just digging you a deeper hole?
Can you?

Can You?

Music is heavenly, of divine nature and of such beauty, enchanting the soul.

FOLLOWER LIMIT REACHED

ASSFM was started by radical artists who felt comfortable outside the norm. We stand for autonomy, transgression, and the disruption of conformity.
​
ASSFM started in 2012 with low-fi basement recordings and quickly evolved into a DUI professional recording studio, a booking and tour management agency, and a design and promotion company. Our staff of talented session musicians and sound technicians are dedicated to making the album that you want to make. Any instrument, style, genre, melody, feel, dream, or vision you want we will provide.

Elskyo is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer and producer from Belgium.

I don't want to make music, I want to make magic.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

Thank you for listening and I appreciate any and all comments or constructive feedback.   All of my songs are available to download for free.  Enjoy and thank you for your support.
