F A S T L A N E

Supa Man (prod. Sin)

[Verse]
When you looked at me
With your dark eyes
I knew that I was doomed
To be crucified
I'm the bad guy
Ain't no reason why
So when you look at me
It's hard to feel alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Take my heart
Take my brain
Take my soul
Look away

[Chorus]
Look away (x4)

[Verse 2]
When you said to me
"Everything's alright"
I knew you were full of it
You were out of your mind
But it's a sad life
And the world is blind
So when you look at me
It's hard to feel alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Take my heart
Take my brain
Take my soul
Look away

Look Away

Angel Grove

i saw you in the cemetery
picking up the flowers you dropped
in the wrong place
you got out your spade
& started digging a new grave
right beside his
where you’ve already lived
ever since the funeral
& i’d never seen
your face so serene
not at least since the day
you met him

i remember how
it felt in those first months
just kicking ‘round a crow's nest
& yet somehow i forget the years
in between then & now
no, it’s the little things
that’ll make your heart sing
on the off-chance you calm your mind
like his out-of-key voice
& the nightmare-noise he’d wake with
& you’d hush right back to sleep

"Lifestyle"

There it goes
I’ve never lost my head
I think I know myself
A lifestyle

It felt sincere
I really want to know
I’m feeling so at home
I really like it

I think I’ll walk away
Pretend I wasn’t there
We never noticed it
Always in your head

There we go
We really lost ourselves
We could have used some help
To better fight it
Caught in our soul
A meaning of its own
A feeling in itself
A lifestyle

I think I’ll walk away
Pretend I wasn’t there
We never noticed it
Always in your head
Feeling so content
Living without a care
We never noticed it
They put it in our head

A lifestyle we never wanted
A lifestyle, something they thought of
A lifestyle, who did the numbers?
A lifestyle we never wanted

I think I’ll walk away
Pretend I wasn’t there
We never noticed it
Always in your head
Feeling so content
Living without a care
We never noticed it
They put it in our head

Ordeal Erasure

Mirror Gazer "Lifestyle"

Formed in London in 2012, Flowers have released two albums and an increasingly assured string of singles on labels like Fortuna Pop, Kanine, Oddbox, Cloudberry and Where It's At Is Where You Are. Those associations might give you an idea of where they are coming from: beautiful, effecting pop with echoes of C86 indie, post-punk pop, shoegaze, 90s 4AD and even a dash of early Slumberland Records. Far more than just a sum of their influences, they've dazzled pop fans around the world with their distinctively spiky songs and Rachel Kennedy's thrilling, ethereal vocals.

"Erik" is their contribution to Slumberland's SLR30 Singles Series and their first single since 2017. Written about their wayward pet hamster, it's a lovely tune that wouldn't sound out of place on a Belly record, a prime piece of the grungy, fuzzy pop that Flowers are so expert at creating. On the flip, "Candour" is deeper and slower, recalling early SLR groups like Black Tambourine and Henry's Dress, a connection that makes their participation in our singles series all the more appropriate.

Neutrals are a punk band from the San Francisco Bay Area, channeling a wide range of '70s and '80s punk, post-punk, and indie-pop influences. Their debut album "Kebab Disco" came out in 2019 on Emotional Response Records and garnered universal acclaim as "an excellent collection of terse melodies, unique storytelling, and scraping pop. (AllMusic)". The band followed-up with an excellent five song EP earlier this year on Domestic Departure.

"Personal Computing" b/w "In The Future" is their new single and has the distinction of being the final entry in our SLR30 Singles Series. Both sides were recorded just before the COVID-19 lockdown began and share a bittersweet nostalgia for an imagined rose-tinted future that never was. The mood of thwarted utopian dreams feels all too appropriate right now and the tense, angular songs on this single are an ideal soundtrack for this unsettled moment.

Having  already delivered one of the most exhilarating and rounded debut EPs of the year in Microcosmic Things, Leeds quartet Eades prove they’re not ones to rest on their laurels with stirring new single ‘I Want More’ – out via Bam Bam Records on September 9th.

Once again showcasing their chameleonic approach to guitar music tradition, the track starts as a nouvelle country influenced slow burner, before exploding with rabble-rousing intent into buoyant indie, taking a left turn at classic rock. As ever, these touchstones are distilled into a unique, forward-looking sound by their self-production – the final result a distinctly modern sound from this coalescence of genres.

The themes of the track are a new take on a well-worn trope too – the antagonistic but necessary relationship between a musician and 9-5 drudgery, as lead vocalist Harry Jordan explains:
“When we wrote ‘I Want More’ I was in a pretty strange place, working a real dead end job just doing what I could to stay in Leeds and make music. I guess it reflects pretty well about how we all felt as musicians - finishing uni, feeling a bit lost and wanting more from life than the rat race our friends around us were joining.”

Perhaps accordingly, the track is a  roll towards euphoria in its escapism – a vessel through which the four-piece invite you into their gang, as synth player and percussionist Dan Clifford-Smith follows on:

“It instantly hits you in the feels - when we first started jamming it, it wasn't long for us to figure out it was going to be one of our favourite tunes. The coolest thing about it is the way we play it live, everyone goes absolutely mental and locks in so deep with one another. Can't wait to start gigging again once lockdown ends, catch us live in 2069.”

Arriving close to fully-formed in intention across sound and message, their breezy self-confidence, born of time spent cutting their teeth around a fertile scene in Leeds, has started turning  heads across the board, with FADER, NME, DIY, KCRW, The Line of Best Fit, DORK Magazine and more lining up to call themselves fans, and predicting big things.

‘I Want More’ is the new single from Eades - out on September 9th via Bam Bam Records.

lyrics
Beautiful bird 
High up in the tree 
Tell me all you see 
Sing a song for me 

When I wake in the morning 
It's your song I hear 
It brings me peace 
Knowing you are near 
And then through the day 
I look to the sky 
To see you flying by 

You are full of life 
You are soaring free 
Beautiful bird 
You inspire me 
If I close my eyes 
Even in my dreams 
Can i learn to fly 
If I spread my wings 
Beautiful bird 
Sing me a song 
Help me forget 
All that is wrong 

Beautiful bird 
When you fly above 
You remind me of 
Love

Following on from 2016's "Wordless Wonder" album, Minneapolis' Real Numbers are back with a brand new EP entitled "Brighter Then." Recorded over winter 2019/2020, the EP shows the band journeying deeper into straight-up indiepop than ever before. Where "Wordless Wonder" partook in lo-fi post-punk DIY pop thrills, "Brighter Then" revels in the more sophisticated sounds of the late 80s and *nails* it. The smart songs and crisp production echo Sarah Records favorites like The Wake and Brighter; while never straying too far from their scrappy DIY roots, Real Numbers have broadened their sound with assurance, and fans of Felt and the Field Mice will be pleased with the results.

Lyrics:

The stars in the sky don't shine like us on a night like this
They look up to you and I whenever we kiss
I look around my life and I see that things have changed
Well I hope I'll always love you just the same

Slowdive
Red wine
In the moonlight
Your eyes are as bright
They take me home

They take me where I want to be
Your eyes lead me right down to the beach
