You Made Us

Repeater's bitter-sweet melody, grounded by hypnotic beats and razor-sharp riffs lay the foundations of a psych-rock—psych-pop sound that'll wash you within the darkest wave to show you an illusion that you’ll never quite see.

Repeater

An Indie funk groove about the monotonous routine of the working world, feeling trapped by the societal pressure to consume, provide, and turn away from the things we’re passionate about.

Things I Say

“I will carve my name into a golden sky, so the wind can sing it out aloud. And then it can rain.” – Lucy Dreams’ new single delves deep into the realm of vulnerability and the remarkable strength that can be found in revealing one's true self to others. Known for their emotionally charged compositions, the band masterfully weaves a soul-stirring narrative, en passant developing a completely new take on modern Synth pop music, both in terms of style and in terms of music production with their artificial band member Lucy. 

In a poignant moment of personal significance, "Achilles" not only explores the vulnerability within us all but also marks a historic milestone for the band as singer David for the first time takes off the mask he has been wearing since the inception of the band. This symbolic act of unmasking adds a profoundly personal layer to the song, emphasizing the power of authenticity.

Achilles

When The Timeline Splits

We were three years
Of flowing the same way until you threw me out of the blue
Away from the circuit
Need to get you out of my head

When you find yourself in the arms of another
Can you feel that love inside get stronger?

When you find yourself in the arms of another
Can you feel that love inside get stronger?

Maybe I know, maybe I don’t know where we go from here
Let’s take a chance for the sake of ourselves, don’t take me back again

Maybe I know, maybe I don’t know where we go from here
Let’s take a chance for the sake of ourselves, don’t take me back again

We were three years
Of flowing the same way until you threw me out of the blue
It’s been one year
Been away from the circuit
Now I need to get you out of my head

Maybe I know, maybe I don’t know where we go from here
Let’s take a chance for the sake of ourselves, don’t take me back again

When you find yourself?
Maybe I know, maybe I don’t know where we go from here

Can you feel that love?
Let’s take a chance for the sake of ourselves, don’t take me back again

Maybe I know, maybe I don’t know where we go from here
Let’s take a chance for the sake of ourselves, don’t take me back again

Arms of Another

Arms Of Another

Brambles is inspired by memories of childhood pastimes, particularly picking blackberries with my mum, sister, and grandparents. The gentle fingerpicked guitar part provides a steady backdrop for the dreamy clarinets and trumpets that weave through the track. I was really happy to be able to include my sister on the track as one of the vocalists.

One by one we go rummaging on
Staining our shoes with the berries and sun
We pluck, we pull, the buckets fill
We amble

Two by two we go battling through
Stretching and straining to grasp at the shoots
You bare your skin, the thorns dig in
The gamble

The marks on your clothes
Might come out with soap
The marks on your hands
Will soon start to mend

Three by three is a mouthful indeed
Bursting with berries and singing with glee
La da di da, la da di da
The brambles 

The marks on our clothes
Might come out with soap
The marks on our hands
Will soon start to mend

Brambles

I notice trees along the highway and beyond
Tempted as I drive to ponder each design
To enunciate its weight in life's green scheme
But each lone specimen evades me as I speed 
Toward unknown peripheries
Of darker and darker
Groves and forests and jungles
Implicating blackness in the blur of green until
Impatiently
I change the station
And watch the road

It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut

In the tangled humps of exposed roots I walk among
In preference to the flat meander of concrete
     sidewalks
No subtle clues of something to do with souls
     impress me now
No metaphoric mazes come to mind to puzzle me
With riddles of the meaning of roots
With the force of things unknown and new
I walk among the tangled roots
Only because the way is straight and short

It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut

Implicating blackness in the blur of green until
Impatiently
I change the station
And watch the road
And walk among the tangled roots
Only because the way is straight and short

It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It’s just a short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
It ain’t nothing but
A short cut
