Lyrics:
All the ways you’ve shown me your own mind
I’ve seen you sigh 
I know you cry

All the ways I’ve seen you in disguise 
All the lights 
In my eyes 

but the way you slowly take your time 
I sense you hide 
I see your pride

All the ways you show me your mind 
All the ways you’ve shown me your mind 

All the ways you’ve shown me to be kind 
I feel obliged 
To confide 

All the same we feel under the sky 
The bluest kind 
Turn into night 

All the ways you show me your mind 
All the ways you’ve shown me your mind

Show Me Your Mind

Marinero - Last Chance

Taken from ' An Afternoon Whine' LP/Digital out 15/07/2021 (ELP069, Ecstatic Recordings)

‘An Afternoon Whine’ is the first release for Ecstatic by claire rousay and mari maurice aka more eaze - it offers a highly personalised conception of ephemeral avant-pop by two of the US experimental scenes most insightful operators; collapsing ambient, electro-acoustic and gauzy guitar shimmers into a shared, lucid dreamworld.

Feeling like a milestone in both artist’s prolific catalogues, the album’s heady drift finds our collaborators recording in the same room for the first time, diffusing a palette of vocals, guitar, field recordings, piano and violin into a singular sort of etheric chamber pop. 

Beautifully frayed at the edges and with a sanguine melodic core, their music evolves and resolves from the nanoscopic through to a panoramic view across its five pieces, with melodic motifs and lowkey vocals that occur with uncannily natural logic and quiet wit. 

The results are Budd-like in their slow blooming elegance, but elusive as anything from the neo-ambient spheres of uon or Perila et al, and osmotically influenced by R&B and cloudrap as much as indie-pop proper.

‘An Afternoon Whine’ is best framed as a warts-n-all snapshot, poetically limning a sort of day in the life of rousay & Eaze, replete with the domestic rustles and ephemeral passages that have made the former’s work so spellbinding, and glinting with the kind of memory-jogging motifs that give body to more eaze’s explorations of  electro-acoustic sketches, identity, and perception. 

It’s hard to think of another duo who’ve smudged the borders so subtly and expressively between the flushing toilet and piano spritz of ‘Great Song’ and the heartfelt autotuned paean of ‘Smaller Pools,’ and with the ability to subliminally unstitch convention and reweave it in their own image, as with the lush tension and imperceptible room transitions of ‘Floor Pt. 3,’ or how ‘Songs For A Tuned Guitar’ reclaims the supernatural from the domestic with such poetic guile.

Buy!

Lyrics

Just another take back
Just another fake laugh
Just hide under tables til’ the one who fucked it fesses up

Just another take back
I don’t want to react
Just another lazy fuck that wants to marry into love

Just another take back
Just another fake laugh
Just hide under tables til’ the one who fucked it fesses up

Just another take back
Just another react
Just another lazy fuck that wants to marry into love

I wanna stay here
I wanna go
I wanna stay here

I can be sober
Life in the sun
This can’t be over
Life is so fun

I can be sober
Life in the sun
This can’t be over
Life is so fun

Take It Back

He is On His Way Home, We Don't Live Together

Green shoots have burst forth from Parsnip! The Australian group have a super-catchy single out today called ‘Turn to Love’, taken from their sophisticated sophomore album ‘Behold’. Drawing comparisons with Dolly Mixture, Sara Goes Pop and Look Blue Go Purple, Parsnip are an animated ensemble, full of life, emotional complexity and humour. On ‘Behold’ they explore both the inner and outer realms of consciousness with quick wits and some seriously quality jangle and jolt. 

Upset The Rhythm and Anti Fade Records will release ‘Behold’ on April 26th. There’s a limited transparent vinyl edition, available to pre-order (drum roll please)… now: upsettherhythm.bigcartel.com/
