This one's about regaining trust in yourself, the good energy in your body when you feel the power to stand up for yourself, while also being in soft connection to yourself and others. I wrote it in a moment of recognition of my own strength that came out of vulnerability and showing care. it starts with this ongoing single note and beat evolving into the phrase "it is fresh, it is also known, nice to meet you" which encapsulates the moment of choosing to being alive & in love, in very very strange times.

Satirical electronic pop taunt ‘Liz Truss is a Patsy’ delivers a scathing rebuke of the self-delusion of Liz Truss and the lack of transparency into money made when the UK markets crashed as the result of her now infamous mini-budget.  

Produced, mixed, and mastered in Tobisonics’ home studio, the two-minute 10-second track features cutting edge AI-powered vocal synthesis framed by an indie synth pop blend of synthesizers, analog bass, drum samples, sound FX, and acoustic guitar.

Ever an outlier on the grassroots music scene, Tobisonics has earned a reputation for tackling difficult subjects.  In 2020, his second single, ‘Military Industrial Complex’ explored President Trump’s response to the BLM protests.  His 2022 debut album, ‘We Need Light in the Dark’, explored his own struggle with chronic depression/anxiety and PTSD.

In 2023, Tobisonics paired his music with activism.  Made with the blessings of the Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists, ‘90 Seconds to Midnight’ plunged listeners into the devastating reality of The Hiroshima Bomb.  Rather than target music platforms, Tobisonics directed traffic to a webpage encouraging support of the Bulletin.

With ‘Liz Truss is a Patsy’, Tobisonics has continued in this vein, creating a webpage for listeners to delve deeper into the Think Tanks that inspired the Liz Truss mini-budget.  As well as ongoing social content, AI-generated Lyric and music videos, and an arcade style video game will follow in the coming weeks. ‘Liz Truss is a Patsy’ is out on all platforms on Friday, 5th April.

"Thank You For Last Time," Project Blackbird’s new single, sees the band’s shapeshifting sound subtly moving in a dub-flavored direction. Echoing elements of spy-fi movie soundtracks, the band creates swirling grooves beneath a blanket of vocals that recall ‘60s French pop.

“It was just two words in my head: time, fiction. That was the jumping off point,” notes vocalist Ming Nagel. “I went back to Iceland a few years ago (after first going there in the '90s), and culled some of the lines in the verses and the spoken word part from a poem I wrote during that second visit. There’s a phrase in Icelandic that basically translates to ‘thank you for last time.’ It’s what Icelanders say when they bump into old friends. On the surface, the song is a love letter to Iceland; it’s an incredibly mysterious and inspiring place. On a deeper level, it’s about the elasticity of time and the process of grappling with getting older and meeting your past selves.”

As the song unfolds like a slightly funkified casual Sunday drive, a dreamscape travelogue emerges, adding an air of mystery that hints at multiple layers of meaning beneath the surface. It’s otherworldly and earthbound all at once, defying time and creating new musical fiction.

Lyrics:

to everything that I adore
in this isolated world:
fates and furies, nights unfurled

time – fiction – time – fiction

mounds of graymoss in the fields
reptiles swelling to reveal
cracks of their tectonic scales

time – fiction – time – fiction

outer space must pale in comparison to this
other-worldly landscape of darkening bliss

I head to sands that are still belted by a sash of volcanic boulders
it’s strange to be back again - 20 years on and feeling much older
like looking in a mirror through a hazy lens, backwards over your shoulder
later we search for the cottage, on the coastline where I stayed

waters rich in alkaline
write a somnolent slow sweep
dreams tilt on the edge of sleep

time – fiction – time – fiction

each departure is a loss
each farewell is something gained
time stealing itself from time

time – fiction – time – fiction

outer space must pale in comparison to this
other-worldly landscape of darkening bliss

here it stands – Bakkasel, my age
I know that both our stories have changed
I walk past expanses of green and unused foundations
everything is dying or in a state of gestation
the corrugated slopes bleed into the sky like an impressionist painting
