Sugar Free

Sugar Free (Sampler)

I was reorganizing my study/home studio and checking to see if my old musical instruments and gadgets were still working when inspiration struck. I discovered that my vintage Yamaha RM1X sequencer was still working so I thought I'd better make use of it before it also conks off eventually. This lead to me writing songs that for once, does not feature any acoustic instruments. The retro vibes of the synth also inspired me to write songs that pays homage to my 80s musical influences. I had such a fun time writing and recording these songs. Hope you enjoy listening to them too!

Tiny Movements

Can you see it now?
What's lost along the way.

Do you hear them now?
Cutting through the noise.
Clear as daylight,
easy come, easy go.

Like an earthbound kite,
tangled in the wind.
Hurry and untie me,
send me on my way.

02. Tiny Movements

Flock

Silly, 
waiting to hear the ringtone,
looking forward to his sweet lies again.

Heavy,
staggers under the streetlights,
every Friday night he feels old.

Where did it all go?

Guilty,
getting ready for bedtime,
to the mirror she talks in rhyme,
lullaby.

Selfish,
looking over his shoulder,
wondering who will be next in line.

How did we get here?

Empty,
looking out of her window,
in the sunlight but she still feels cold.

Dean: Drums and Shakers
Leslie: Acoustic Guitar, Voice, Autoharp, E-bow Guitar
Sean: Voice, Acoustic Guitar
Victor: Bass and Guiro

For The Time Being is Hanging Up The Moon’s fifth release and first EP. The four tracks within were written shortly after their return from a trip which saw them performing in Japan and Taiwan.

Inspired by that experience as well as the warm friendships struck up along the way, the songs are uncharacteristically upbeat in their instrumentation. The lyrics however retain the wistfulness so signature of Hanging Up The Moon, touching on loss and resignation — a musical counterpart of the fleeting smile elicited by forgotten old photographs of treasured times.

For The Time Being is released by Big Romantic Records and features Skip Skip Ben Ben’s Lin Yiloh 林以樂, a friend made on the trip and a fellow musician under the label.

The EP is available digitally and as a 7-inch vinyl.
