SONAR - October 2019

From the 2017 LP "Collision With Joy Division"

Collision With Joy Division

Transmission

“Graphite” is a song about frustration and articulates a fear that many artists have that their own work is derivative. The song imagines an artist failing to give an original interpretation of the city’s landscape. 

LYRICS:
Bridges shown with setting sun,
no thoughts come, it's been done.

Pencil, bite, tooth to graphite,
can't write tonight, run dry.
No thoughts excite, reach valley height,
leave behind the quayside.
Give me vodka, give me wine,
give me one more good time.
New tempo, go to a show, go to where the water flows.

Slip out of your dress, my love
Let’s share a bottle of wine
Wade our feet in the river 
And then go swimming 
In the water we feel light

A drop of silver
Dripped off your chin
And you held me
In the summer once 
Am I still shimmering?

“Whole of the Moon”
And “Born to Run”
You’re dancing in the mirror in the middle of the night 
All by yourself, might I join?
We set off headlong
On a curious course
Just a couple of lovebirds
Flying somewhere warm

I wish we had met
When we were young
Would I have found you too impressive? 
I have always been 
The more delicate one

Holy hell
What age are we now?
Our friends are parents and married 
And things I still have yet 
To wrap my head around

We hollow out 
The whole of us
And lay our guts and secrets 
On a table built
Of ash and elephant tusks

Your fortune was read
And given on a Sunday
Said, “Dress your pain in diamond skirts and 
Rub your wounds
In salt and ginger”

“Heart of Glass”
And “Love Will Tear Us Apart”
You’re dancing in the mirror in the morning light

Have I ever said you’re my candle in the dark?
We set off headlong
On a curious course
We can be couple of lovebirds
Finding our way north

“One Day Like This”
and “I Melt With You”
You’re dancing in the mirror in the golden light 
Of the afternoon, and I will too
You’re a stubborn soul
And I’m a fragile man
Aren’t we a couple of lovebirds
With beautiful plans?

Missions - Subcreature (HD057)

Los Angeles-based electro-pop savant Missions makes his full-length debut with the momentous new Subcreature out August 2, 2019. Through the use of drum machines, synthesizers and electronic vocals, solo producer Josh Mills adds a rich emotional gradient and a fresh rhythmic step to the archetypal darkwave narrative as Missions. This impressive collection of addictive bass lines and smooth drum beats are produced and arranged with the proficiency of a polished studio engineer, while the core of Mills’ craftsmanship explores the shaded nuances of seduction and vulnerability. Subcreature is perfectly suited for both late-night dance floors and private listenings, with creative subtleties that peek through the hook-laden anthems and hopelessly romantic lyrics. The heartfelt songwriting and sculpted sound design on Subcreature reflect a unique interpretation of funk, new wave and early electronic music, making up the sophisticated language of Missions.   

Josh Mills was born and raised in Texas and spent the bulk of his adult life developing his craft within the dense synth community of Austin alongside bands like S U R V I V E and BOAN. Mills was brought up in a large family of music enthusiasts with a profound appreciation for dance music and pop culture of the ’80s and ’90s. Industrial, new wave, punk and hip-hop became dominant forces of his formative years and blossomed with the rise of music blogs in the early ’00s and his own college radio show. It was not long before Mills began playing in various bands ranging from disco-punk to shoegaze and honing his skills with electronics, eventually adopting the solo moniker Missions. Since relocating to Los Angeles in 2017, Mills has maintained a heavy collaborative side to his career, working with Emmy Award winning Stranger Things composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein as well as writing, producing and performing with Parisian pop starlet Lou Rebecca. Now on Subcreature, Mills has constructed infectious rhythms interspersed with moments of pure cinematic beauty, carefully mastering the intricate balance of style and technique.

Reminiscent of late ’70s and early ‘80s electro-boogie, the vocals of Missions are synthesized through a vocoder, injecting a vibrant groove into the often cold realm of contemporary dance music. The passionate lyrics on songs like “Spoken” and “M’aidez” have a tangible human quality veiled through slick electronics and thumping bass. In addition to his lush synth tones and driving sequences, one of the most significant characteristics of Missions’ sound is the heavy half-time swing of the drum programming. The beats on tracks “Dark Blak” and “Feelin’” reveal an intrinsic worldview with hip-hop and R&B ingrained into the fabric of his musical vocabulary. This infusion of bounce and swagger underlines the wistfully drab overtones of Subcreature’s ten tracks, making this record stylistically complex and intensely fascinating. Mills’ catchy melodies and clever arrangements are indicative of a brilliant pop talent with the lens of a skilled composer, showcasing a unique blend of influences that are both innovative and classic.

At its essence, Subcreature is a fun and compelling statement of originality within modern dance music. Mills has built a truly endearing identity and established Missions as a new cultural force majeure.

Lyrics:

Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back
Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back swingin, swingin
Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back swingin, swingin
Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back swingin, swingin

Can’t feel my hands, but I got you
What’s mine, that’s yours, ya
Head underground, got work to do
And I know in my soul, that I’m on to something good
I’m in repair, looking for truth
And I’ll find my footing soon
Pave a road that leads to you

Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back swingin, swingin
Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back swingin, swingin
Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back swingin, swingin
Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back swingin, swingin

Try put me down from where I’m at
I’m up now, you still know the way to
Put me on the ground, don’t make me snap
But I don’t need your faith, I don’t need nothing
You won’t see me frown, the fuck is that
And all I ever did was dodge the punches
You’ll look like a clown when I come back

Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back swingin, swingin
Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back swingin, swingin
Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back swingin, swingin
Don’t count me out, cuz I’ll come back swingin, swingin

Count Me Out

Skyler Stonestreet - Everything It Wasn't

MERMAIDENS - Millennia

(rook) 
im bleeding out on my back 
staining the floor of your bedroom 
im laughing because it feels 
like i am finally somewhere that makes sense 
i feel so fucked up 
but i just wanna be fucked up with you 
you just get it 
im just so glad we're friends 

sometimes i just wonder who i am 
sometimes i want to kill who i am 
sometimes i don't want to feel anything at all 

(devi) 
i know ur out there, hello hello? 
im sorry i sing my prayer out of tune 
i never thought i could go to heaven 
until i died and i met you... 
is the truth just too depressing? 
my body hardly knows how to move 
crawling thru the dying soil 
i think i see 1 flower bloom 

(rook) 
and all those years 
just wanting to run away 
i never dared to dream 
that i could ever feel safe 
if i could tell myself 
that i would feel alive again someday 
maybe id be ok 

anyway 

(rook+devi) 
dead girls dry each others eyes 
and pretend for a while that we're still alive

LOVE AND AFFECTION FOR STUPID LITTLE BITCHES

BLOOM

Lyrics:

Saded
I'm treading water
I'm sedated
I hold my breath and I go farther in
It sparks within my thoughts

Bioluminescent in the dark
I dive right in between the lemon sharks
My skin, a resistance as an ironbark
Like a symbiotic man 'o war

Wavey
Sailing on a raft towards the maybe
Settling for what I don't know

I'm a little alienated
Hardly navigating anywhere
But that's alright
Memories of you sailing by my side

Oh-oh, oh-oh~ (x4)

No teeth could ever harm
No treasures in the depths of pouring gold
No thief could ever swallow all that he stole

Saded
I'm treading water
I'm sedated
I hold my breath and I go farther in
I drown within my thoughts

Bioluminescence in the darkness
I will dwell on in the depths regardless
Of dismal dormant creatures shining flawless
Yet you spark within my thoughts

Bioluminescent in the dark
I dive right in between the lemon sharks
My skin, a resistance as an ironbark

Bioluminescent in the dark
I wish you well beyond the moon and stars
My kin, a remembrance of a selfless heart

Bioluminescent in the dark (2x)

Laughing, 3 am
Six records in with your best friends
Sing to ELO on vinyl
It’s been a long time since I could just let go

They leave, I stay
Drinking whiskey neat in the August heat
Kissing troubles away on your fire escape
My lips are still burning from that summer bug spray

I know I want you
But you want others too

Diamond in the rough
That I just want all to myself, to myself
Caught in modern love
Falling for someone
Falling for everyone else

Dancing, in Brooklyn
You’re holding me and I’m grinding my teeth
It’s hard to say if it’s the buzz or the way
I really don’t know if you’re leaving with me

They go, I stay
Talking LCD and it’s so easy
Pushing troubles away with the jokes that we make
I just don’t know if you see what I see

I know I want you

Diamond in the rough
That I just want all to myself, to myself
Caught in modern love
Falling for someone
Falling for everyone else

You’re so breath taking
That my heart starts aching
You’re not mine
And I already know

Can’t kick it
You’re the best bad habit
Pull me close
Or just let me go

Diamond in the rough
That I just want all to myself, to myself
Caught in modern love
Falling for someone
Falling for everyone else

So can I be enough
‘Cause I just want you to myself, to myself
Diamond in the rough
Falling for someone
Falling for everyone else
