Our moderators listened to every track we were sent this week and have picked their favourites for your listening pleasure this weekend:

LISTENING POST: BATCH 545

Come On Outside

On the song, the band writes:

"Come Along is an ode to the night owl. That person who, for better or for worse, is still up watching TV when you get up for a glass of water in the middle of the night. Sonically, the song takes cues from late-80s dream pop and shoegaze bands like The Stone Roses, Chapterhouse, and Ride. A pulsing bassline, digidrum fills, and swirling samples fill in the cracks and crevices of the song’s modest wall-of-sound."

And on the band, Sled Island writes:

"Jangle-pop act Nutrients is simply overflowing with charm. The band’s gentle tunes recall soft rock and new wave of the ‘80s but with a contemporary style that places them alongside acts like Homeshake. A new album is due soon, but don’t wait for that. Get started with 2022’s Different Bridges, a collection of pop gems full of polyrhythm and sax."

Lyrics:

A night and day
They start to feel the same 
Cold or heat
Just dreaming through the beat 
Awake, asleep
This music's going deep 
No time, no place
The notes embrace the space

From the future, from the past 
There is something that will last 
Through the gates of dreams at night 
You will catch the feel inside
Journey of the ecstasy 
All the things you wanna be 
Playing in the free of pain 
Only playfulness insane 

High in the sky, 
All the reasons to fly
Something to remember 
The days of cold December 
A friend of the night
Going out of the mind 
Something to remember 
The warmth of cold December

Something to remember

Perhaps it was 2007, I started a moleskine as I have done for centuries, but this time without writing any dates, and mostly consisting of drawings. It was the year I first conceived Dream Society, graduated from art school, became self employed, lived in Battersea in a house with green walls, somewhere in a world beyond time and space; spending hours writing the most extravagant colourful websites using only a text editor, creating experimental films in which I cut out each frame by hand, making music with house hold objects and discovering a world of books that opened my mind and being to infinite possibilities, pondering about the nature of reality, consciousness and existence. My pals and I would go to the supermarket at 2:45am; I wrote songs on an old ships piano I had to tune anew every day, and a harmonium in the key of not-quite-Bb. 

Sometimes I had visions, like lucid daydreams, or frames of future memories: I once saw myself in a flowery dressing gown, writing books, in a flat with green walls in Amsterdam.  Another one had me play on Top of the Pops. Now wouldn’t that be funny, I thought. Sometimes a song would appear like that. Like this melody that appeared, and I had to write it down, and it never became a song, just a small mantra that kept popping up, sometimes, especially at times when becoming aware of my supreme impatience; a wanting of it All, Now! 

Yet when I create, I am patient, there is -only- Now. 

Many years later, in Amsterdam, not yet with green walls but in a colourful flat on my favourite canal, I started playing around with some homemade sounds, a harmonium, some birds, and then pressed record as I sang into the mic and words and melodies flowed freely, and there it was, this melody that time travelled and brought the rest of its song along, because sometimes this is how it goes, and time folds, and everything is different and yet in essence, so very much the same; falling awake from the illusion of time and space and separation, and there is only Now, and Now, and Now, in tune and in sync with the divine perfection of life.

-------
Be Patient, 
the world will soon be 
In your circle

Arrows flutter in the skies
And hollow holy earth,
The under breath of wanting to believe
And the slightest lion eyes
Behold
And the crowd is going mad
Cause they want us to glorify
And the flowers glow
Sleepless nights

Be Patient, 
the world will soon be 
In your circle

Round & round rivers,
And on the boat we rock
Back and forth
The lion sleeps and slides
Sleep and find me home

Be Patient, 
the world will soon be 
In your circle
Be patient, love will come
Be well patient
