Stay

How Soon Is Now, originally written and performed by The Smiths and now reimagined by Bird. Recorded in Nashville USA featuring Country Award Winning guitarist Ilya Toshinsky, Bird takes us on a new journey where Americana meets lush strings (Sally Herbert) and french horn (played and recorded by her engineer/mixer Pete Davis). 

How Soon Is Now (EP Vers)

I'm Glad It's Not Sunny

This One's On The House

Higher Than High (Release Date 11th April)

This is the second single from my debut EP, Other Faith, which is out on the 9th May. It’s a song about the space between love and loss.  Produced, mixed and mastered by Gus White at The Barn.

Lullaby For Wasted Time

Straight Pride Month is a jazzy noise rock blast of unmitigated fury that ends with the closest approximation TFS to a showtune. Musically the song find TFS returning to their standard mesh of varied time signatures, unreleting melodic noise with a sound that feels like a rollercoaster cart that is about to come off the rails at any moment. 

It’s fitting that a song about upset gammon moaning about why they “don’t get a special month” just for being standard features Tom Robinson on backing vocals. The man who was not afaird to stand up and shout ‘Glad to Be Gay’ at a time where homosexuals were still being persecuted both by police and public alike - Tom was one of the pioneers in saying “fuck you” to bigotry. TFS view it as an honor as well as a career highlight. 

The lyrics are pretty straight forward, a call out to why there’s a pride - a clear sample, aimed towards all the homophobes with ‘lest we forget’ stuck on thier white vans. Clearly they forgot.  With a classic shout out to let all complainers know that now there is a straight pride month they can come out of the closets and live free, running through fields hand in hand with Theresa May who hates gay people. 

The song is the second of 4 new releases recorded by Those Fucking Snowflakes, mostly self produced due to lack of money or interest from people with money. The drums were recorded poshly by Tom Peters at Trapdoor Studio in London and the songs were mixed by Chris Hope of Milkshed Studios in Chorley. Everything else was badly recorded by the band themselves. 

Barreh - shouts and left guitar (some centre guitar too)
Cybs - right guitar
Sam - all the bass and some backing vocals
Troisnyx - all the drums and some backing vocals
Tom Robinson - backing vocals

LYRICS

Every month is straight pride month
Every month is straight pride month
Every fucking day of your life
Your heads held so high

Stop -  your stupidity, think before you speak
Hetro realtionships were never illegal
No fear of violence. Just for feeling love

Prosecuting Alan Turing, for the crime of being gay
A national hero, was chemically castrated
This can’t happen again. This is why, there’s a pride

All you brave fabulous hetrosexuals
stride out into this bright new day
No longer living in fear, of being beaten again
For a love you cannot choose
March out - and feel no dread
of being mocked for who you are
Fly your new straight pride flag high
It’s beige and easy on the eye
You can now be who you are 
There will be curbed enthusiasm in the streets

Every month is straight pride month
Every week is straight pride week
Every day is straight pride day
Every hour is straight pride hour
Every minute is straight pride minute
Every fucking moment on this earth

Straight Pride Month (ft Tom Robinson)

Nosebleeds

Electro

Venice Beach, California. A short term lease two blocks from the beach. A rental guitar and a laptop. This is what kickstarted the eclectic sound of Goldkimono. Martijn (Tienus) Konijnenburg , the songwriter and artistic lead behind this project describes his music much like his clothing style. Take a hand full of sunshine and throw it into a boardwalk thrift-shop, walk out with some comfy colourful pants and a Levy's sherpa jacket and don’t look back.

Add to that Tienus his animated style of lyric writing on a texture bed of 90s hiphop and island style pop, all with a crunch of a Dutch syrupwaffle. And voila. You can’t help but to feel kinda good. 

The laid back storytelling over punchy beat textures and wavey acoustics on first single ‘To Tomorrow’ leads to believe this artist is one to keep an ear out for.
