Listening Post: Batch 538

**"It's OK"** is a fast-paced track inspired by post-90s US alternative rock, blending dreamy shoegaze textures with basslines and piano phrases reminiscent of Pavement and Wilco. Its pop-infused melody is both catchy and emotionally resonant. The lyrics explore themes of emptiness with lines like "nothing's gonna change," but the refrain "Baby, it's OK" offers quiet reassurance. This song delivers a message of hope and comfort, making it both relatable and uplifting for listeners facing life's uncertainties.

How many people say nothing's gonna happen to you?
How many people say nothing's gonna gain again?
How many feelings get lost and fade away?

But I feel allight, you and I, baby it's OK.

So many people say nothing's gonna happen to me.
So many people say nothing's gonna gain again.
So many feelings get lost and fade away.

But I feel allight, you and I, baby it's OK
And you feel allight, you and I, baby it's OK.

I hope the world sings for you, just like a thousand rains.
And you wanna fly with the moon, just call out song of the reign.

But I feel allight, you and I, baby it's OK
And you feel allight, you and I, baby it's OK.
Baby it's OK.

It's OK

'I am the moon, you are the sun' is an attempt to challenge a pattern of always putting others first without daring to appreciate ones own importance.

Our first single ‘FAT MAN’ takes its name from the nuclear bomb. It's an apocalyptic tale about our collective apathy in the face of self-destruction, all wrapped up in an upbeat, synthy love song we hope our gran will like.
Oh and our cover art is a magic eye 👀🤔

FAT MAN

When there are no words to speak how she feels... so music says what one cannot and she is tired of feeling. Pieces of her soul break away and gather in sound... and so...  she sheds what's left of her.... She will not break completely.No.  But rather fall, get up ... and start anew.... And yet... the memories of you remain... right here in sound and in my beaten, bruised little heart....

'Bandwagon' is a feel-good indie banger, destined to fuel singalongs. 

The track is all about being different and not 'jumping on the bandwagon' like everyone else does. So it is a celebration of individuality.
