Lyrics:

Ah look, the slate grey pantone swatch flick we call life – 
Most of it dingy, but some of it bright 
And I can always sleep back at Penarth Street 

Everyone knows what this raw business is like 
Better grind out a ‘Halo’ or ‘Sleeping Satellite’ 
And I know I can always sleep back at Penarth Street 

Ah, another challenge to which I failed again to rise 
Everything on fire without a phoenix in sight 
But I can always sleep here at Penarth Street 

Maybe we’re approaching the last gasps of the phase of ‘Peak me’ 
Or the Jaydened-up Princespeak of North, Pax and Royalty 
But by then I’ll be old and bleak back at Penarth Street 

I want you kept sweet all night, 
and I want a slice for me 

I want you kept sweet for life 
and I want a slice for me 

What do I do with all this trainer-boxed remembrance? 
Most of it boring but some of it splendid 
And I can always sleep here at Penarth Street 

Ah, we need a salvo of truth blown into plain light 
With all of our fingers and all of our might 
And I know I can always breathe back at Penarth Street 

I want you kept sweet all night, 
and I want a slice for me 

I want you kept sweet for life 
and I want a slice 

Back at Penarth Street

Lyrics:

Oh, there's a person you admire
The one that someone else turned out to be
The version that you're holding from your baby
Caught on your tongue 
Were the words that could make it all holy
Favourited ya
Was a little bit alone

Drowning out – the fact that it's already
Drowning out – yeah, the fact that it's already
Drowning out – fact that it's already drowned
Makes you drown, makes you drown, makes you drown

Oh, there's that vision in the fire
The one that kicked the murder out of me
The one that hung the firmament so greyly 
Caught in your soul
Were the grapes of a load lightening
Double tapped ya
Felt a little less alone
Drowning out – the fact that it's already
Drowning out – yeah, the fact that it's already
Drowning out – fact that it's already drowned
Makes you drown, makes you drown

Drowning out – the fact that it's already
Drowning out – yeah, the fact that it's already
Drowning out – fact that it's already drowned
Makes you drown, makes you drown

Lyrics:

I’ve been taking the elixir, Sam 
My day to day is getting out of hand 
A good reason to let go and detach 
From getting beaten down by the man 
Blue hands, no air, got questions, don’t ask 
Kept on moving with my foot on the gas 
Making noise for the hell of it 
To be silenced again 

We can make it
Even if it hurts – we can make it outside of this 
We can make it work, even if it hurts 
We can make it outside of this 

There was something in the mission then 
A new label with an interest man 
Advanced paper with a stacked contract 
A few years later with a heart attack 
A new agent, tour circuit – hit the road so fast 
A ticking time bomb, it blew in a flash 
Never knew what to make of it 

We can make it
Even if it hurts – we can make it outside of this 
We can make it work, even if it hurts 
We can make it outside of this 

We can make it
Even if it hurts – we can make it outside of this 
We can make it work, even if it hurts 
We can make it outside of this

Various Channels is a new series within the Darker Than Wax catalogue - a selector-led compilation series that pushes diversity in sound while also encapsulating a common connection of what brings people together. For the first volume, it’s all about location. Deeply inspired by the new wave of creative energy in New York City, the label is proud to present ‘Various Channels Vol. 1 : NYC’ - a compilation highlighting key artists at the forefront of NYC’s blooming music ecosystem, curated by selector Marco Weibel. While Darker Than Wax was born in Singapore, our satellite (or second) home is NYC.

A key figure behind Darker Than Wax since its early days, Marco moved to NYC in 2014, and has continued to establish a humble presence for the label through his tireless work as a DJ, Curator, Promoter & Radio Host. Within 6 years, Marco has seen New York’s underground grow through artists’ continual efforts to push the envelope and blur the lines between sounds. Thanks in part to uncompromising venues and community spaces such as The Lot Radio in Brooklyn (where Marco is running our weekly radio show alongside label peer Mawkus), a fresh crop of producers and DJs are elevating the music of NYC.

This compilation serves as a snapshot of this moment in time, spotlighting select artists making waves - including Jitwam, James Tillman, Toribio, Ensemble Entendu, David Marston and Tristan Arp. This project is also personal to Marco’s experience of digging deep into the city and connecting with kindred spirits, the selections reflecting the creative energy of his close musical family, who traverse eclectic sound spectrums from R&B/Soul, Balearic Grooves, House, Broken Beat and beyond.
