Goldroom - Nights In Nantes

Empty Streets : Produced by Dave Weingarten and Ghost Beach. Mixed by Nic Hard

Lyrics:

I know a woman
she’s as cold as stone
and she hides in the shadows
of an empty road
I tried to break her
But she couldn’t be broke
And we walk together
On this empty road
But I need a lover not just an other
Not just some body to spend the night
You want my reasons I couldn’t tell you
And if I did it wouldn’t ease your mind
I need a heart beat
To keep me on my feet
Pretty girls
Born in the 90’s
They don’t know much of 85
They’re alive im barely breathing
Wanna remember what that feels like
I need a lover not just an other
Not just somebody to spend the night
Don’t need an answer don’t need a reason
Things come apart baby that’s alright
I need a heart beat
To keep me on my feet
Walking on empty streets
I give up
Walking on empty streets
Cause there filled with the faces
Of people I never meet
I run through the valleys
Between buildings and concrete
All I hear are the echo’s
Where there once was a heart beat beat beat beating
(Chorus x2)

Miracle

Every time I get up
My heart's in the basement
I can't get over it
I never wanted to work 
For pieces of paper 
But I guess that's all I get

oh oh oh
I wanna win in this world but it's pushing me out
oh oh oh 
I was born in this house and I'm burning it down

Ah!! It's a miracle 
Even if it's in my head
Ah! Like a miracle 
I'm in love again

Everybody get out
I can't stand underwater
Can't seem to touch the ground
Your modern tongue 
Keeps talking it over
But it doesn't make a sound

Oh oh oh 
What you gonna say to me now? I'm calling you out
Oh oh oh
Cause I was born in this house and I'm burning it down

Ah!! It's a miracle 
Even if it's in my head
Ah! Like a miracle 
I'm in love again

About Atlas Genius-
The members of Adelaide, Australia’s Atlas Genius do things a little differently….They set about building a studio where they could write and record music for their newly formed band 3 years before they even played their first live show as Atlas Genius. For two years, they devoted their days to constructing their dream studio and spent their nights performing songs by The Police, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones at local pubs to pay the bills. “We really got down and dirty with dry walling and literally laying the floorboards, and at the same time we were taking a couple of days a week to focus on writing songs,” recalls Keith Jeffery, Atlas Genius’s vocalist/guitarist. "We had a lot of song ideas and it was important to us to have our own studio where we could experiment and hone in on our sound," adds brother and drummer, Michael Jeffery. The studio was designed and outfitted by the brothers with the help of their father (who comes from a music and engineering background). Once the studio was complete, the first song that Atlas Genius finished was a song called “Trojans,” which they wrote, recorded and produced in collaboration with their friend, keyboardist Darren Sell. After many weeks tweaking the song, Michael insisted that the song was ready to be heard outside of the studio walls. Within an hour, “Trojans” was on the Triple J Unearthed Website, SoundCloud, and for sale via TuneCore on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify worldwide.

“We had begun to think that music was a pipedream and we had all gone back to university to pursue more realistic careers,” says Keith. “We’d had such a long slog of playing late nights and working all day, and it felt like we didn’t really have anything to show for it.” But then, in the midst of cramming for their Fall 2011 semester final exams, Neon Gold discovered “Trojans” on the Triple J Unearthed Website and wrote a post praising “Trojans” as a song sure to “invade your head, all dressed up in a clever disguise of earnest vocals riding a hooky riff.” Checking the band’s email account for the first time in over a month, the band found that dozens of record labels, publishers, lawyers, booking agents and management companies from all over the world had contacted them.

“We were trying to focus on school, but it was just impossible,” recalls Keith. “So we said, ‘There’s something going on here. Let’s get back to the music.’” The band added manager, Jonny Kaps from +1, to their extended family to navigate all of the interest as the band focused on writing and recording more songs.

Quickly named an iTunes Single of the Week in Australia and New Zealand, “Trojans” reached #4 on Hype Machine by the end of May. In August, SiriusXM Satellite Radio’s Alt-Nation discovered the song on a blog and decided to give it some spins. There was an immediate reaction from listeners, and in September, “Trojans” was placed into heavy rotation, where it maintained a top-five position on the listener-generated Alt-18 countdown and peaked at number one for 4 consecutive weeks in January 2012. “Trojans” began selling over a thousand tracks per week on U.S. iTunes and soon climbed to 45,000 sales - all with zero promotional efforts from the still-unsigned Atlas Genius.

“Knowing we had this audience that was waiting on new songs, we had a much greater sense of purpose than we had before,” says Keith. “It was really exciting to know that there were people who wanted to hear more of our music.” Although labels were clamoring for the band to come to the U.S. and play a series of showcase gigs, Atlas Genius turned down those offers in favor of staying in Adelaide to keep writing and recording new songs. In February 2012, after months of communicating with numerous labels via Skype, the band chose to travel to the US in order to make their label decision.

“We’d never been to America before,” says Keith. “We flew in at night and saw this sea of lights, and it really became apparent to us how massive the U.S. is. It was pretty intimidating - like ‘How do we fit into all this?’” In April 2012, the band returned to the states having made their decision to sign with Warner Bros. Records. “We felt a connection with them,” notes Keith. “Everyone there feels very creative and dedicated to the music.”

The band’s first release from their new label home, the EP Through The Glass (produced, engineered and mixed by the band), came out in June of 2012. With Through The Glass completed, Atlas Genius then holed up in its studio and worked on writing and recording its first full-length album, while at the same time rehearsing for their first ever tour. The tour started in August 2012 and led to three more tours back to back taking them thru to the end of the year. Thus, their full-length debut was finished up between tour dates and got completed just before Christmas 2012. When It Was Now is set for a US release on February 19th, 2013, with an international release to follow soon after.

The debut captures Atlas Genius’s singular combination of sophisticated musicality and warm, wistful spirit. Infused with a classic sensibility, each of the songs would fit seamlessly if somehow slipped into a long-treasured mixtape. On the shimmering “Symptoms,” for instance, taut keyboard riffs mesh with urgent acoustic strumming before the band bursts into a gently frenetic, guitar-drenched chorus. Meanwhile, “Back Seat” blends its pulsing bass throb with a sweetly infectious beat and tender vocals that alternately soar and sigh. And on “Trojans,” Atlas Genius begins with a restrained guitar melody and vocal (“Take it off, take it in/Take off all the thoughts of what we’ve been”) before giving way to the handclap-accented, harmony-soaked refrain and lush yet kinetic bridge.

“It’s still surreal,” says Keith of all that’s happened over the past 18 months. “I think when we were very young, we had hopes that something like this might happen one day,” he continues. (Thanks largely to encouragement from their Beatles fanatic parents, who encouraged the brothers to begin playing music by age 14.) “But then you grow up a bit and it seems less and less likely. So when we put ‘Trojans’ out, we figured it would be a success if maybe a hundred people heard it. We don’t want to force our music onto anyone. Our goal is to write songs that we love and we hope they connect with other people too.”

Lyrics:

What would you do
If it all came back to you
Each crest of each wave
Bright as lightning
What would you say
If you had to leave today
Leave everything behind
Even though for once you're shining

Standing on higher ground
But when you hear the sounds
You realise it's just a whim (/the wind)
And you notice it matters
Who and what you let under your skin

If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire
Hold everything back
All emotions and desires

Convince yourself to be someone else
And hold back from the world
Your lack of confidence
What you choose to believe in
Dictates your rise or your fall

With no one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
When you're backed up against the wall
Step back from the line of fire

I'd do the same as you would
Would do the same as you
Step back from the line of fire

Goldroom - Only You Can Show Me (feat. Mereki)

"Matches + Gasoline"
Perception is in the Echo EP
Modern Ritual

LYRICS:

Take another little hit
And after that you'll quit
The devil's on your shoulder, he's screamin for more
You try to read a mind
That's locked itself inside
You're blinded by the high and you're screamin!

You don't even know my name
It's not some kind of game    
You're playing with your matches and gasoline
You're a liability
You're bursting at the seams
You're playing with your matches and gasoline

I can swim
But I know I can't breath at the bottom of the sea
Try to win
But no amount of money, could keep me from my honey

Wash the venom from your veins
Break out from all your chains
You've opened up the lock with the golden key
You have yourself to blame
You tried to make it rain
You're high up in the haze, ride the lightning!

Walking hot coals
means burning soft souls
Blind me, heal me
melt me, fear me

I don't know why you
can't just live life through
No one hears me
No one's listening
