Its funny how things get screwed up 
Tired and stuck in the mud 
I’ve seen the future and baby its not good enough. 

If we’re only here for a blink and that’s the deal
should  I really try and hide the way i  feel 

Where theres pain 
Release the tension  
But you pay
Pay more  attention 
To those disapproving eyes 

Disapproving eyes 
Disapproving eyes 
Disapproving eyes 
Disapproving eyes 


What’s your excuse for getting at me all the time 
Sometimes your words can be meticulous and unkind 

Doing everything to throw me off my game   
But the seasons always changing and I can’t  wait

Where theres pain 
Release the tension  
But you  pay
Pay more  attention 
To those disapproving eyes 

Disapproving eyes 
Disapproving eyes 
Disapproving eyes 
Disapproving eyes 
When will they look away ? 

When will they look away
I don’t think they can look away 
When will they look away

Look Away

Second single from the forthcoming second album HYMNS, due later this year. 

FFO: Manchester Orchestra, Frightened Rabbit, Arcade Fire. 

Recorded in West Wales by the band. 

Produced in Toronto, Canada by Matt Lederman. Mastered by Ryan Morey (Arcade Fire, Half Moon Run). 

Laid back Death Cab-esque drum patterns and cool americana guitars, the new single from Broken Fires makes you want to roll down the window of your getaway car (a 1967 Pontiac by the way) and drive off into the spring sunset. Except it’s a song about the morbid human fascination with serial killers… 

Sharks is written looking down on a convicted man in the dock of a Swansea courtroom. Guitarist and singer Gareth explains: “I think I had been watching too many Netflix real crime series… but there has always been something curious to me about what runs through the mind of those that find themselves standing in the dock looking out at the jury”. 

The final guitars were layered up over beers in Earlsfield South London but keys, violins and vocals added in living rooms separately during the lockdowns of 2021. The tracks were sent to Canada for finishing touches with mixing by Matt Lederman (Rural Alberta Advantage, !!!) and mastering by Ryan Morey (Arcade Fire). 

The laid back groove in the first half of Sharks reveals a different side to Broken Fires. But with what is becoming a trademark move, the song builds to a shattering crescendo with layered violins and enough guitar tracks to make Trent Reznor twitch. 

If you like a killer melody this is for you.

Pray 4 Tomorrow

Dumb - Excuse Me

"Forever," off of Kane & James' debut, self-titled album. Available wherever you listen here ~ linktr.ee/goodeyerecords

~~~

Sometimes the best things happen from the convenience of having someone else around and, at the very least, thirty dollars between all of the involved individuals. This, at least, seems to be the case for brothers Kane and James Marady, who after spending the aforementioned dollar amount on a multitrack cassette recorder from Craigslist, christened themselves as Kane & James.

Having grown up in the woods of central New Jersey, the sound of nature, seasons, and the atmosphere have long since their early days been a constant source of inspiration.

With their seasonal feeling established, the duo lean into this vibe with a sound that feels like equal parts jangle-pop and folk, blended with a measure of ’60s / ’70s soft-rock that sounds every bit like the hazy end of summer.

~ Written by Nick Matthopoulos

Listen

Kane & James - "Forever"

Streets At Night

Sister Wives - Streets At Night

A Spanish acoustic lullaby (“canción de cuna”) with a hushed, intimate vocal and minimal accompaniment—soft nylon-string guitar, light piano pads, and subtle glockenspiel/strings for moonlit shimmer. The melody flows in calm, rocking phrases; lyrics evoke moonlight, fairies, and peaceful sleep. Warm, spacious reverb and no percussive drive keep the track soothing for bedtime, relaxation, and baby/parent playlists.

Nanas de papá: canciones para dormir bebé

Duerme, mi niño: canción de cuna

16tonsfreestyle

A quiet collection of thresholds.
Stories of people standing right on the edge — of a town, a harvest, a relationship, a country, a life — each worried that if they take that next step, the sky will fall. All hearing the same counter-question rise in their chest: but, what if it won’t?
Crisp cello-folk, breath-close vocals, and the soft ache of almost-decisions weave through the album like fog on an empty road.
These are songs for the leavers who stay, the stayers who dream, and anyone who’s ever paused before stepping into the life they weren’t sure was theirs.
