Lyrics:

I can never be the girl 
the girl you knew before 

living through those darkest hours 
living through a war 

all the voices in my head 
they say we can’t go on 

that I could never be your girl 
but I’m still holding on 


could you ever love me again? 
I need to know our love’s not a sinking stone 


If I could feel you next to me 
If I could know what’s right 

if all the demons chasing me 
would fade into the night 

could you ever trust me again 
if what we had is gone? 

will you ever trust me? 
I’m still holding on 


could you ever love me again? 
I need to know our love’s not a sinking stone

Thin Rope

We're doing things a bit differently this week and announcing our Postcard Club single on a Tuesday. Yesterday our good friends Joanna Gruesome announced their debut album which is due for release on Fortuna Pop and Slumberland (!!!) in the US. It was a big day for them which they totally deserved and we thought two JoGru related announcements in one day might be a bit much for some people. Alanna McArdle is Joanna Gruesome's most recent member and as well as singing vocals for them, she also produces solo work under the Ides moniker.

Her first EP released on Reeks of Effort received plaudits from all round; and rightly so. Alanna seemed to effortlessly document tales of heartbreak weaved with despair. As a listener, hearing the EP in full is almost a therapeutic experience. The same can be said of her postcard single 'Prisms' - with an added fidelity that wasn't present on her earlier recordings, Alanna's softly sung lyrics become even more effecting. This is no truer than when she sings the haunting line "it was over before it began".

You can catch Ides in August playing in Brighton, Bournemouth, Bristol and of course our all dayer in London on the 31st. You can find her on Facebook here - https://www.facebook.com/idessmusic?fref=ts

another night is another dream is another day
is another choice between the 10,000 or the way
you know light shines right through that fearful wall you put in front of me
you know both sides are just the same too full if not empty
when beauty has been named as all you want to be
ugliness is born and it's in all that you see
you're gonna break if you stand so rigidly
your greatest path to strength is that of fluidity
you tried to give away your love but they didn't want it so they didn't get it
so you hardened up your heart as if toughness is what would give it (power)
if you try to give away your love and they didn't want it they just didn't get it
now if i even touched your heart i think it would start to break in a minute
shatter!
so be wise and recognize when tides arise and flow
or you'll sink like a stone filled with the weight of "no no no no no"
i wanna see you as all, as a sage-
i wanna call to you when you have no name
(chorus)
i want a supple love ooooo
be like water love flowwww
i see you as a sage, whats above and below
don't shatter

Mt. Wolf - Life Size Ghosts (Catching Flies Remix)

'It's Not Over' is the lastest single from Future Classic's newest signing, Panama. It was recorded in Los Angeles with super producer, Eric Broucek of DFA Records fame (Holy Ghost, LCD Soundsystem).

Steeped in splashes of yacht rock, hopeful house music and an avid appreciation for the ʻ80s, Panama make music that is as brimming with a quiet, golden nostalgia as it is bright and anthemic in its delivery.

The 'It's Not Over' film clip, cast and shot in Berlin, debuted on The Fader on October 4, 2012. Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMKZIaIN7O4

Alice Bomans debut EP - Skisser - is soon also out on vinyl with an extra vinyl only bonus track. Releasde date 25th September. Comes in a limited 300 copies.

or pay via Paypal directly from our web shop here: http://shop.adrianrecordings.com/product/alice-boman-skisser-vinyl
 
The signing of Alice Boman was kind of a coincidence. Adrian Recordings just had an intense spring with a lot of releases and had no plans on signing anything new. Then a local sound engineer from “Studio Möllan” gave us a record with Alice which he thought we should listen to. We did and time just stopped.

The first EP from Alice is called “Skisser” (means “Sketches” in Swedish) because that is exactly what it is. It was released in May 2013. The EP contains songs which Alice recorded in her home, just for her to remember and they were never meant to be heard by anyone, Alice sings with as much force as fragility, a Billie Holiday for the 21st century, without the jazz.

Scenic - Shockwaves

Taken from ARMS' aptly named "EP2" out September, 2013 on 12" vinyl + digital. Released on Paper Garden Records.

"I was exhausted," says Todd Goldstein, reflecting on the years since the release of his band ARMS' lush, ambitious 2011 album, Summer Skills. "I put everything I had into that album—creatively, emotionally—I had nothing left in me." After spending his mid-20s playing guitar in New York's much-loved Harlem Shakes and the ensuing years crafting two albums and an EP as ARMS, Todd took a sharp turn away from music. He went back to school to study design; he spent long afternoons throwing down in the kitchen; he looked elsewhere to find his creative kicks. Eventually though, he remembered why he can't help but write songs. ARMS' EP2 is the proof.

The product of a long, slow collaboration with drummer Tlacael Esparza, EP2 feels both urgent and relaxed, its five home-recorded pop songs projecting a lived-in looseness without sacrificing an ounce of tension. "Comfort," the EP's opening track, seems at first to be about music—or a girl. But, unlike most love songs that pull this double duty, the message of "Comfort" is unexpected: Neither one is a prescription for the ailments of real life. "Sleepwalker" plays like an insomniac's wake-up call, dressing a careening rhythm in melancholic guitar figures and peals of glowing distortion, while "Up & Up" is the late-night ripper, an album closing comedown that refuses to land. EP2 is the sound of a kid with a worried mind—a frequent character in Todd's musical universe—learning to let go at last. It only seems right that ARMS' leanest, most immediate record would finally arrive after leaving it all behind.

ARMS is Todd Goldstein and Tlacael Esparza. ARMS has shared the stage with Passion Pit, Walkmen, Beach House, White Rabbits, The Long Winters, A Place to Bury Strangers, Japandroids, Hospitality, Caveman, Asobi Seksu, and more.

ARMS - Comfort

Postiljonen is a dream pop trio deriving from Scandinavia. The band emerged quietly back in September 2011 and is composed of Norwegian vocalist Mia Bøe alongside Swedish multi-instrumentalists Daniel Sjörs and Joel Nyström Holm.

After releasing a handful of online only singles in their native Scandinavia (including the heartbreaking interpretation of Whitney Houston’s classic ‘How Will I Know’, renamed here to ‘All That We Had Is Lost’) the trio have managed to create a highly characteristic sound, where ethereal and alluring vocals are interwoven in a mystical, ambient, dreamy and lovable expression. They have been compared to the likes of M83, Air France, Sigur Ros, jj and Cocteau Twins.

Taking inspiration from old black and white movies, the golden 80s, Balearic scenery, sleepless summer nights and describe themselves as nostalgic daydreamers, all of which mirrors beautifully within Skyer’s ten songs.

Featuring singles ‘Supreme’ and Atlantis’, Skyer is summery pop music at its best; made for lazy days and dreamy nights.

Skyer is released on July 22 2013.

This is an edit we did for the 'triple j decade mixes' but we never ended up using it. Nothing too fancy but it's one of Fleetwood Mac's hit songs and we wanted an excuse to play it. So now that we've got 100,000 facebook followers, we're giving it to you for free. Let's just hope this doesn't end up like the Stevie Wonder thing :/
