Listening Post: Batch 584

Ahead of the release of his new EP ‘Limitations’, Cyrano shares the introspective title track - a raw, self-reflective anthem for anyone grappling with identity, burnout, and the quiet struggle to keep moving forward. With his signature honesty and cinematic production, ‘Limitations’ captures the tension between self-awareness and self-doubt, unfolding through late-night chats on an open road. Written between time zones and emotional states, it’s Cyrano at his most vulnerable, yet most resilient. Cyrano returns next month for a special EP launch show, raising funds for War Child and those displaced from their homes due to conflict.

Limitations lyrics:

Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

It’s typical me to leave a moment
In the sight of everyone
As I try to overcome
My typical need to be heroic
As I’m lent my time by sleep
Is this the life I want to keep?

And I'm not hard defined

Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

In the sight of everyone
I was tired and overrun
But like the whole of my head now
I’m not hard defined

And I'm not hard defined
And I’m not hard defined
Well I guess I know my limitations

Tell Me (Reimagined)

Pink Footage’s new single ‘Click’ is a song about the mostly universal experience of the unfulfilling, boredom fuelled masturbation session. One that leaves you questioning your own existence, finally giving up without climax to scroll Reddit in equal boredom. Both of these activities are something you need a driving license to legally do in the UK in the year of our lord 2025.
Fortunately, ‘Click’ is a tense, vile rammer, with fuzzed out riffs as grimy as the sock mentioned in the lyrics, giving you such a good time by the first chorus that you’ll be grinning through the rest of the song in sheer disgust, you filthy pig. We hope this song makes you feel something primal that cuts through the onslaught of mind numbing shit the world slings at us daily. 
Stay safe online folks x

Remember Me

Thanks for checking out What If?, the fifth single from my upcoming album Underground Sky. The album will be released one song at a time throughout 2025. The video for this track will be out on YouTube on October 10th.

What If? is one of the most introspective and reflective tracks I’ve made. It sits somewhere between alt-pop and classic singer songwriting, opening with stark piano chords and vocals before unfolding into layered acoustic guitars, intimate strings, pedal steel, jangling riffs, and cascading harmonies. It’s about questioning choices, imagining alternate paths, and confronting those quiet “what if” moments that linger in your mind.

Every part of this recording was done independently in my home studio. No label, no filters, no one else’s fingerprints.

Written, produced, performed & mixed by Heron @ Cracked Analogue

Anchored by driving drums and ethereal vocals, 'SHADOWWORK' is an invitation to embrace your inner dark feminine energy. With its emotionally charged lyrics and heavy dramatic sound influenced by Chelsea Wolfe, Nick Cave, and Kate Bush, the single showcases Catherine Elms as a bold and introspective artist in the Welsh alternative music scene.

'SHADOWWORK' is the final track from Catherine's sophomore album, 'Bring In The Wild' (August 2025). The album draws inspiration from Jungian psychology and shadow work, inviting the listener to confront and embrace our inner shadows that we usually push away, so that we can fully accept and love ourselves.
