"Summer Nights is the song that reminds me of the first lockdown. It’s was all of my fears about what I was doing with myself/my life and what was going on around the world. I spent about 6 or 7 weeks on my own in that lockdown and I just remember the constant barrage of bad news and bad times that happened as you sit there, painfully watching the news and hoping that things are going to get better soon.”

Lyrics: 

Don’t you ever give it all away at once 
Hold it back, make some plans 
For something else 

Have you never been this far away from town 
Move away, separate 
Yourself from them 

When you look back 
Do you see a rising sun 
Way off track
Pulling back the veil of night 

Make my own decisions when I see your eyes 
Clear that information has just led to lies 
If only with your words you could not sell disguise 
Painful viewing sees me through those summer nights 

On my way down 
On my way back as always 
Made good time 
Lesson learned 
What a ride 

Don’t you ever, feel that somehow you where right
Never change, never spread 
That piece of mind 

Make my own decisions when I see your eyes 
Clear that information has just led to lies 
If only with your words you could not sell disguise 
Painful viewing sees me through those summer nights

-------------------------------------------------------------
Brooklyn based Rips have quickly built a reputation amongst NYC showgoers, winning them over with their virtuous melodies and sheer ferocity amidst an endless flurry of shows. Their songs may channel late '70s New York City bands like Television and The Feelies, but Rips propels these references into something new. Their self-titled debut, produced by Austin Brown of Parquet Courts, is eleven tracks of buzzing guitar riffs driven by a charged rhythm section, all set under lyrics that are actually worth a damn.

Rips (the record) takes cues from the moonlighting era of rock, while delivering a set of songs distinctly fit for the modern age. Once described as a “hyperreal rock n’ roll group”, the phrase “borne forward ceaselessly into the future" is more what they’re going for here.

So break an old habit. Let your hair down (or up). Rips will take you there.

-------------------------------------
Why Bother is an unearthed, long-forgotten, and previously unreleased album that was due to see the light-of-day some years ago, by The Sticks; a Brighton institution.

A rarely spotted, but much-loved group which shares members with The Pheromoans and King Alfred Man of Leisure. They are a stripped-down garage party band, they bash drums, sway on the bass and claw at guitar - often swapping over instruments between songs live - and yelp with melodic abandon and delight. The Sticks were once dubbed as 'semi-amateur', this may be true. With cheap, unreliable equipment they manage to tease out a cacophony of crashing drums and raucous guitar melodies.

The key elements of the trio's sound are undoubtedly drawn from the rudimentary ideas found in the more inept efforts of mid-sixties teen bands such as The Chimney Sweeps and The Keggs. They then take a touch of The Raincoats, and finally dribble some comparisons with modern (ish) day equivalents The Black Lips, The Coachwhips or The Hospitals.

Fire walks, fire walks,
fire walks, fire walks 

I see the loneliest star 
i see an extraterrestrial
is better forget 
is better forget 
i could lose my brain 

Better dont talk 
better dont think 
im so high inside of me 

Only random can save me 

Is better forget 
is better forget 
nobody wants 
a broken brain 

Only random can save me

'In The Stone' is taken from Normil Hawaiians' new 7" out September 11th through Upset The Rhythm.

https://upsettherhythm.co.uk/

When Upset The Rhythm released Normil Hawaiians’ lost album ‘Return Of The Ranters’ back in 2015, the band members got back in touch with each other after a 30 year break and starting playing music together again. Out of this the group played a launch show for the album and followed that up with more concerts, including an appearance at Supernormal, a residency at the Edinburgh Festival, gigs at Cafe OTO and supporting Richard Dawson in London too. They even recently toured Greece in support of having all three of their renowned exploratory post-punk albums finally back in print.

Throughout this time, Normil Hawaiians revisited their original songs for these live performances. However for a group always so interested in evolving their sound and seeking nuance, it comes as no surprise that they shirked the idea of a faithful retread of old material in favour of reimagining their songs. The group experimented by pushing their songs into new inventive dimensions, still progressive at heart, but now imbued with a cosmic uncanny. A cinematic, even pastoral approach that was always quietly present has come to the fore. The quaint weirdness of folk song, the humanity of communal practice and the group’s ecological mindedness have all found a place in Normil Hawaiians’ current sound world. With this conducive atmosphere brewing, the band’s first new songs in decades started to emerge.

Being far-flung across the UK, the Family Hawaii encamped to Tayinloan, a small village on the west coast of the Kintyre peninsula in Scotland with the intention of recording new music. They set up their own studio in an isolated, windswept house overlooking the sea and started the tape rolling. Noel Blanden from the band explains how the spirit of the location was such an inspiration to the group during this initial recording session: “Our time immersed in the place and the unique energy it generated in us allowed us to write ‘In The Stone’. It goes right back to our first album, this need to document experience before it passes over and eludes us. We were grabbing at the musical ether and letting it shape itself through the band.” From loose, improvised sessions and reflective periods of listening in Tayinloan, Normil Hawaiians captured the moment. ‘In The Stone’ is a motorik thrill of distorted guitars, locked rhythms and morphic resonance. Guy Smith is joined by Zinta Egle on vocals, skilfully sharing lyrics informed by Alan Garner and Nigel Kneale’s ideas around recurring events being linked to place and historical artefact;  a kind of residual haunting known as ‘Stone Tape’ theory. In keeping with the context of the song, sounds from several previous live recordings of the track were woven into its present being. Flipside ‘Where is Living?’ is a decidedly more delicate affair of questioning lyrics and eerie traces, droning strings and impressions smudged. This resultant 7” is a tantalising glimpse of Normil Hawaiians now, an echo from the past, an echo from the future.

Wilma Nea has been playing and writing music for as long as she can remember and the piano has always been a big part of it. In fact, at one point she even considered becoming a professional pianist. But her urge to tell stories and write original material took over and Wilma Nea was born. 

It didn’t take long for the Swedish press to take notice of Wilmas music because there’s something about it that feels so natural, yet hauntingly original. During 2020 she released the stand out debut EP ‘Issues’ which got support from media such as NBHAP and P3. This fall she followed it up with a new single - ‘Stalemate’. On the track she continued to showcase her talent for understated but meaningful songwriting as The Line of Best Fit put it. 

In December she’s putting out her next single ‘Part Of A Club’ where she continues to build on her previous work. “The track is about wanting to feel included, and changing yourself and your opinions to fit in.” Wilma says. The track is also accompanied by a music video that was directed by Ebba G. Ågren.

Anthropic (Cold Times)

Tangerine you caught me on a good day
The roses started blooming 
The fuel supply is plenty

Tangerine is this the ending
Forever now or maybe
The conversation empty 

Tangerine I see the color fading 
North is ever-changing
I look away for safety  

Tangerine falling out of reach 
Tangerine in and out of dreams
I saw some things today that I could not explain
I watched you change into a tangerine 

Tangerine for you I’ll never quit
Close my eyes and purse my lips
Relive every moment 

Tangerine falling out of reach 
Tangerine in and out of dreams
I saw some things today that I could not believe 
You were set free
Now you’re a tangerine 

Tangerine you’re in my head
I sleep on your side of the bed

Tangerine

The master of the house is what he called himself — self-titled of course. Many admired him, praised his ability to control and conquer, to hypnotise them with his "charm". She loathed everything about him, from the way he moved to the way he spoke in an abrasive tones and his penchant for undermining her every word. He'd never win her over but he seemed to enjoy the challenge.

I've looked for you in the trees
Every leaf changing color
Travels through my dreams
To the very core of me

Didn't think you had anything to give
What kind of life is that to live
Isn't it time you let it go
The only place you've ever known

All that burns in auburn fire
Returns to us again somehow
All that we’ve forgotten
Words whispered in the breeze

Carried on the autumn wind
A flame aglow between us
The light of these days shine
A sky so blue I could drown in

Didn't think you had anything to give
What kind of life is that to live
Isn't it time you let it go
The only place you've ever known
