Some Things You Don't Know About Me

Goddamn

Listen to "Killers of the Early Morning" here: https://band.link/bethannmcdowellkotem

Over the course of several months last summer, Beth Ann McDowell made a conscious decision to return to her roots in complex, rich lyrics, and giving more depth to her songwriting as she began to work on her album, “The Sim Is Real.”  The single is produced by R. Walt Vincent who has worked with some of indie’s greatest: Liz Phair, Pete Yorn, and Scarlett Johansson to name a few.  In tune with that came the natural gravitation toward recording an album in an organic way, with session musicians in a recording that captured the spirit of the moment all at once. Her first single off of the album, “Killers Of The Early Morning”, captures the sort of eerie dream-like vibe that permeates through the entire record.  With unquestionably dark lyrics, the song recollects the common experience most of us have lived: giving all that we have to give, and it is still not enough.

Lyrics

Come one, come all
Take a glimpse, tag along
Follow the light that is shining in
And I'll be your guide
Deliver truths I'd rather hide
With innocent warmth of a messenger
And if you get lost
No matter the cost
Follow the light to the entryway
Drop in now and then
If you could use a friend
I know I can spare the energy

Away...
Away from home
Your comfort zone
Look toward the light that is shining in
If you need a guide
Spilling truths they'd rather hide
Step out of harm's way with this messenger
And if you get lost
No matter the cost
Follow the light to the entryway
Drop in now and then
If you could use a friend
I know I can spare the energy

Speleogenesis

I left my wallet at the tacobell drive thru and we're low on gas

PRESS RELEASE
=============
Rodney Cromwell returns just weeks after the release of his last single ‘The Winter Palace’ with a new song released for the Christmas season. ‘Cold Christmas’ was written for the annual ‘A Very Cherry Christmas’ compilation from Cherryade Records, and is released on its own right as a digital single on 9th December via Happy Robots.

This is no Cliff Richard Christmas hit though. A relentless krautrock beat propels a driving synth bass line, layered with Cromwell’s signature ARP synth strings and a thumping bass guitar. It is the most knowingly gothic song that Cromwell has released to date. 
  
As the UK descends into another round of austerity, the lyrics of ‘Cold Christmas’ are like ‘Eleanor Rigby’ turbo-charged for 2022. “Julie wanted a Xmas tree, until she fell into poverty, the house is cold and the lights are off, and now she’s getting a nasty cough”. 

‘Cold Christmas’ was recorded in Cromwell’s home studio in Catford, London and was produced by Dom Cresswell at Studio AUW in Kent.  

Since the release of his debut 'Age of Anxiety' album, Rodney Cromwell has been featured by the likes of NME, Electronic Sound, Huffington Post, Paste, Shindig!, Louder Than War, The Big Takeover, Magic RPM and the Bandcamp homepage. He’s had national radio play in Japan, Finland, Germany and multiple spins on RTE in Ireland, on BBC 6 Music in the UK and RNE3 in Spain for whom he recorded a live session.

The Rodney Cromwell live set is a joyful mixed-media extravaganza, incorporating analogue synths, video visuals and live instrumentation, interjected by Rodney’s 'offbeat wit'' (NME). His debut festival appearance at Indietracks was described as 'like a spiritual experience". He has shared stages with acts including A Flock of Seagulls, Pram, Death & Vanilla, Marsheaux, Rowetta, M!R!M, Damo Suzuki and Steve Davis. In 2022 he recorded a live session for Electronic Sound and in the autumn played a series of dates with Blancmange.
