Mim Rasouli - The Rabbits Who Caused All the Trouble

Floating

"The 21st Century spiritual successor to The Flying Lizards. A fun, feelgood, lofi retake of classic US pop music – that manages at the same time to sound  completely contemporary and not take itself too seriously... surfs the waves of particle physics at a perfect pop length of 2.18. That’s the way to do it." Tom Robinson (BBC 6 Music)

Written, produced, performed and mixed by Daniel Brady.

Lyrics:
Let's go to the LHC, it's time to find the real article
Going down to CERN, join the search for the God particle
It's where all the cool kids do the Higgs boson bop

Existing for mere nanoseconds, decaying to photons and more
It's gonna put particle physics back on the dance-floor
They have no spin or colour charge

Only one in ten billion collisions result in a boson
It happens when a lead ion travelling near the speed of light hits a proton
Detected through its excitations
The Higgs field - a revelation

It's giving mass to the massless
Despite the symmetry controlling their interactions
But all the media says is "who?", "why??", "what??!", "HOW??!!"

In a time when there is starvation we need some proof of real-world applications
There's the creation of the World Wide Web, cloud computing and, lest we forget,
It proved the Standard Model so we'll do it 'til we drop
Come on and let's dance the Higgs boson bop
The Higgs boson bop (repeat)

Division Order - Higgs Boson Bop

The last track of the ep and a fitting song for the end if I do say so my self! inspired by all the best stadium rock bands that have ever lived!!

City Is Ours

Dark, and ambient tale of lust and desire....experimental and building to an epic climax...sounds a bit portishead

Reckless

Written, produced & mastered by The Slow Revolt • 

Chosen by BBC Radio 6 Music's Tom Robinson as his 6music Recommends track of the week, with support from Tom Robinson​, Lauren Laverne​,  Steve Lamacq​,  Shaun W Keaveny​ , Mark Radcliffe​ & Stuart Maconie,​ & Mary Anne Hobbs.

Song Of The Day - @bestfitmusic - http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/new-music/song-of-the-day/the-slow-revolt-lean

'The Slow Revolt, has been previously hailed for his flawless contrasting of genres. His newest track “Lean” is another plunge pool into the enchanting sound of beautiful tranquility and lovely layers.

The consistent guitar melody opens the track into a misty landscape of morning dew and seaside freshness, complete with subtle bursts of distorted guitars and a building tension of unpredictable electronica percussion. Mirza’s enchanting vocals bounce beautifully across the layered melodies, building in each bar to a pinnacle of bubbling sounds, changing the scenery from an empty landscape to a busy crossroads of texturised sounds.

Whilst maintaining his soft vocals throughout, the instrumentals in “Lean” carry the textured tension, blending beautifully into a melodic chaos that seems both unnerving and utterly soothing at the same time.'

'Lean' is the first in a series of tracks; experiments, curiosities & versions, culled from ongoing writing sessions.

Equine Size Comparison

Asleep At The Wheel

Some Velvet Morning's summer single - an upbeat track for the holiday season with a catchy whistle refrain. The band's seventh release of 2016 in a year of new songs every month.

Everyday Holiday

Alexander is a love song to a leader and, like all stories of hero worship, it's sad. It isn't only about Donald: we're from Britain and in our recent history we've repeatedly rallied behind charismatic men and women who have transpired to be vacuous, narcissistic, and hugely destructive. Alexander the Great literally conquered the known world in a frenzy of imperial gluttony. Within a few years of his death, that empire had vanished. The thirst for power is not only insatiable, it is deeply and inevitably tragic.

LYRICS
Getting high at a quarter to nine,
and you throwing all your favourite lines.
And that red-head said he's living with you,
and he copies everything you do...

And you throw your California smile,
and you warn me this could take a while,
So while you think of something to do,
I'm thinking I could stick with you.

Cause you're great Alexander, you're great Alexander 
you've made up a name for yourself
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander 
you've made up a name for yourself

In a town at the edge of the Nile,
I can see that California smile.
There's a boat with your name on the side
and it waits for the turn of the tide.

In between your Casino and mine,
I can see that there's a delicate line.
And I can't tell our voices apart,
and I can't tell your life from art

You're a ghost Alexander, at most Alexander.
You've made up a name for yourself.
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander,
You're still sitting there on the shelf...

Cause you threw me California,
the Great California,
ring me when you've had enough of California.
You're a ghost Alexander, 
the Great Alexander,
you've made up a name for yourself, Alexander.

The first Alexander, 
The Great, Alexander, the Great's, the only man that you hate, Alexander.
You threw me California,
I can't beat Alexander, the Great's, the only man that you hate.

I SAID YES - Alexander

Rust

Taken from the forthcoming EP 'Here Comes The Brim' (released 16th September 2016), we present 'Misfitz' - the song you'd sing when someone you like doesn't like you back and you want to act like it's no big deal, when deep down you know that it is one.  Featuring Garry Abbott on bass, John MacLeod singing and playing guitars, Romas Masteika bangin' them drums, Jack Tasker on game-changer guitars, and Gary Wilcox delivering a dusting of backing vocals.
