Part Time - RETURN TO CHERRY

bury your god
we’re making a deal with the devil
to even the odd
put your faith in the animal

trust in fresh bone
in the body it’s grown
chaos is nothing but chance,
blind energy lost in a dance

You don’t have to pick a side
since noone’s right
you we’re taught to accept
what you’re here to defy

you can let the people pray through the week
find a way of turning the other cheek
and Justify their every action
with the teachings of a faction
see them burn by the fires that take them

bury your god
we’re making a deal with the devil
bury your god

you don’t need to believe a lie
or to testify
you belong to this world
and will long after you die

you can let the fuckers prey on the weak
add up all the points in their kill streak
or you can give an ultimatum
allow the time to understand why people hate em,
or burn by the fires that made em

Loose Tooth

Killstreak

The first single from the upcoming album in stasis, 'PALLBEARER' (out 15.11.18)

I left the front door open
the cat escaped without it’s collar
my friends won’t hear him coming
oh to be born with fangs
and an understanding
that death is a gift we give ourselves

turned pale from the nicotine
the body sways from the beer poured generously
white knuckles knock my front door, and I feel like a stranger

The lights on in the kitchen
tea is made and pills are taken
I check the clock that’s always broken
my pulse, no longer racing, 
I shut my eyes and bend the knee

laces tied, and the dog sighs, but I’m not leaving yet

I’ve spent a lot of time looking out of hotel windows
I’ve seen the trees concave when that Colorado wind blows
I know the metro system inside out, Paris never changes I know my way about.

If only i said no when you asked me to dance
As I pulled away you whispered stay, I was in a trance
I happened to know that what I felt you felt too
But that makes no difference to me I know this love is doomed

But you, dear. I didn’t think I’d find you here
Roaming in the corners of my mind
Well in there you’ll find, a note I wrote the other day
Don’t read it just leave it, It might give me away

I never liked you much, You’re always so complacent
And tho I laugh along, I find you test my patience
Sure I have less fun when you are not around
And when I come to think of it my feet don’t touch the ground

But you, dear. I didn’t think I’d find you here
Roaming in the corners of my mind
Well in there you’ll find, a note I wrote the other day
Don’t read it just leave it, It might give me away

You, Dear

From the latest album to come out of stasis, 'Pallbearer'

"A nostalgic stream of consciousness, interrupted by
the announcement of a newborn, and with it, a striking realisation
of my own mortality.

Contrasting old world sentiments with the anxiety of modern living."

I received a box of teeth 
from a good old friend 
at a closing dentistry 
after their final appointment 

I must be givin' off a killer vibe, if you know what I mean 
death is a curious thing 
and there's something cool about stuff that gives you the creeps 

I used to skate the park behind stockland, Nowra 
before they tore it down to build something better 
fuck it, there were too many tiny rocks, I always skinned my knees 

we scanned for those suckers, like metal detectors 
swept the concrete with rubber feet 
oh hey my brother just had a baby 

Bad Math 

ye'know, somewhere in Gwynneville, there's a jar of his urine 
that we had hidden, beneath a garden bed 
I hope that years now it is found, and seen as a relic, maybe they'll clone him, maybe they'll leave it 

Alice will learn to breath 
a different kind of air 
and I'll perish in time 

oh I've only seen your picture, 
but I already love you, 
you're my family, 
I'm your uncle 
your tiny fingers will break if I squeeze too hard, oh that's frightening 
what kind of god would be so cruel 

Bad Math 
Bad Math 

oh I've only seen your picture, 
but I already love you, 
you're my family, 
I'm your uncle

Either You Don't Love Me Or I Don't Love You by Advance Base

I'm back to my older ways, I'm playing with sand
relivin' my salad days, where all this began
carvin' the detail with a steadier hand
while the waves come creepin' in 

LOOK there's love in a garden, knowledge in books
no harm in tryin' or havin' a look 
listenin's better than runnin' your motor
but singin's a way to make the motor sound cleaner

I'm chasin' a dream 
cus' you gave me the reigns
a pip from an orange ain't goin' to waste

you let me build houses under my sheets
hide out every single day of those weeks
you bought me a cat, and you took it right back
if you didn't, it'd end up starving or fat

Kids are poppin' out of this earth
sooner or later I'll know what I'm worth
to a twinkly eyed dreamer like me
and I'll mirror all of your parenting

life is a cigarette I couldn't help smokin'
perhaps one lesson I'm yet to be learnin'
I know you don't like it, and neither do I
a passive habit from enjoyin' my time

I'm puffin' the dragon
cus' you gave me these lips
and an orange ain't nothin' without the pips

you're a mother of 5
caretaker of more
I knew jealously before I was 4
but I got over it, and now I like I sharing
whatever I have with the one who is askin'

I'm chasin' a feelin'
cus' you gave me the space
a pip from an orange ain't goin' to waste
a pip from an orange ain't goin' to waste
a pip from an orange ain't goin' to waste

Pips

Native Tongue deals with power, intimacy and language. Not only language as in meaning but also phonetics. A tongue can be a weapon, a shield or a tool for intimacy. Thoughts of love and linguistics are boiled down in this melancholy, distorted pop song. It’s dynamically even and doesn’t give you much time to breathe. It’s very sad and a kinda furious, but with a hint of sweetness in its use of vocal harmonies thrown in for good measure.

All Over Town

"El Amanecer" is my new guitar piece. I went back to my latin roots, and decided to create music for acoustic guitar, something I had wanted to do for a long time. I found inspiring colors, rhythms and  flavours for my music.

El Amanecer

CDBaby

Lyrics:
It’s he who knows, he knows not what he needs
The west winds blow, yes they’re blowing with the breeze
Some people never know, know not what to believe in
The great unknown
 
Look at this life and all we have found
We’re looking for something special
Only live once, only to find
We’re looking for something special
 
Hear the sound of my voice and the words that I’m saying
Like I never had a choice and it was destiny again
Satisfy my soul, fulfill my fantasy now
We’ve come so far along
 
Look at this life and all we have found
We’re looking for something special
Only live once, only to find
We’re looking for something special
 
Stay a little bit longer
We got nowhere to go
Come a little bit closer
You’re riding on the path that you choose
 
And you live and you learn 
And you laugh till it hurts
Music is the only escape 
And you smile and you cry till it burns deep inside you
This song is here to take you away
 
Let’s get a little bit higher
Let out all your worries and fears
We get a little bit wiser
I’ve got something to share
 
Here’s a word from the wise
There’s no truth in a lie
Time means nothing at all
We’ll add fuel to the fire, till we burn with desire
We’re all looking for something special
 
Look at this life, and all we have found
We’re looking for something special
Only live once, only to find
We’re looking for something special

The Great Unknown

Rivers and Roads Cover -Ducky

arrangement/song: me
vocals: wendy

lyrics: take a boat and leave
to an island with many trees
and there's a song in every breeze
that makes you never want to leave
when the stars don't shine no more
and moonlight's scattered on the shore
we'll come around
we'll be around
i think we're all just waiting to be found

i think we're all just waiting to be found.

FOUND ft. natsumiii

"Wild Mountain Thyme" (also known as "Purple Heather" and "Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?") is an Irish/Scottish folk song. The lyrics and melody are a variant of the song "The Braes of Balquhither" by Scottish poet Robert Tannahill (1774–1810) and Scottish composer Robert Archibald Smith (1780–1829), but were adapted by Belfast musician Francis McPeake into "Wild Mountain Thyme" and first recorded by his family in the 1950s. (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Mountain_Thyme )

Oh, well it's your last day 
And you're looking for some closure to the end of your stay 
But the sun is setting now 
And the time you had slipped away somehow 

And it never did seem fair 
Wanna go but don't know where 
Got some idea of some excitement 
Some conclusion, some satisfaction 
Some way to make it all make sense 

All we get are loose ends 
Start something, end it, going nowhere again 
Feels like there's something, something worth doing 
Some final goal, some ultimate purpose 
Some way to make it all connect 

She lights another cigarette 
Says another won't hurt, it hasn't killed me yet 
She's looking out watching red sunset 
It's a dead sort of feeling, not happy and not upset 

Oh, well it's your last day 
And you're looking for some closure to the end of your stay 
Well here's the question no one likes to address: 
Where are we going with this whole damn mess? 
Convinced ourselves that there's something it means 
There must be somewhere it's all gonna lead 

I wanna be a part of something, something meaningful 
I wanna be a part of something, something beautiful 

And it never did seem fair 
Wanna go but don't know where 
Got some idea of some excitement 
Some conclusion, some satisfaction 
Some way to make it all make sense 

Well I don't have the answer 
I just live along the best that I can 
And no one has the answer 
We all just tell ourselves the best that we can 

I wanna be a part of something, something deliberate 
I wanna be a part of something, something infinite

Malmo’s much-praised quartet of Caroline Landahl, Måns Leonartsson, Adam Agace and Lukas Thomasson release two glorious new tracks hot on the heels of ‘Siesta’, their excellent second album of last year on Fire Records.
 
“Swoony Swedish indie-pop.” Record Collector
 
“Too noisy to be indie pop, too sweet to be post punk.” Clash
 
‘Four Tries Down’ and ‘It’s A Mess’ further hone the band’s dream pop adding extra allure through the musical interplay that coagulates behind Caroline Landahl’s ethereal vocal.
 
“Perpetually swaying between comforting and devastating” Gorilla Vs Bear reckoned of their debut album, ‘You Tried’ from 2016, and last year’s ‘Siesta’ was celebrated for being “nostalgic for ‘90s indie pop innocence” by MOJO.
 
As their reputation gathers global attention, Hater have continued to blossom making a compelling slice of angular pop music that’s dysfunctional, dreamy, tempting and teasing.
 
‘Four Tries Down’ presents an acute hand-tooled angular rasp, with its chiming guitar chopped out against a disengaged rhythm, topped with the dreamy ambience of Caroline Landahl’s whispered confessional that cuts through the mesmerising hum.
 
‘It’s A Mess’ is more subtle, with a teenage Nico admitting to inevitable boyfriend trouble. Drums rattle before cutting down to the basics to let Landahls pontificate as it all goes wrong – it’s a beautiful mess. Beautiful.

Set for release this Autumn, 7" 'Four Tries Down' coincides with Hater’s first US tour.
