Juillet

i’m standing out in the rain, lost in the streets of london
a curtain hook round my waist, you pull me in, you pull me in
you take me into your bed, and when we finally finished
you jumped right out of the bed and started playing violin

i miss my only friend, i’m crying in confession
you said i’m fucked in the head, and you just kept on playing
what an astute observation! i’m going insane
i wish you left me to rot out on the streets in the rain

an astute observation!

"Getaway Car" epitomizes indie at its best. With gnarling vocals and jangle guitar melodies reminiscent of The La's, Bombay Bicycle Club's catchiness, and the poetic charm of The Smiths, it's a sonic thrill. This anthem of escape and adventure, echoing the spirit of Oasis and the storytelling of Bruce Springsteen, takes an unexpected turn with a reggae twist. Produced by Michael Smith, known for his work with Elvis Costello and Wolf Alice, "Getaway Car" is your ticket to a musical adventure.

“Clarity” is jazz-grunge/alternative r&b quartet Xinxin’s latest single, to be released November 11, 2023. Written over the course of several interstate trips while the band was split geographically (half living in Los Angeles, California; half in Portland, Oregon), Xinxin’s new offering explores the perspective that comes with distance and time. Separated for years, the group was ultimately strengthened by the time apart, which brought into focus their mutual commitment to and love for the project.

“Clarity” begins as a meditation on stillness and immobility in the midst of perpetual motion, before developing into an energetic and cathartic chorus where understanding, acceptance, and appreciation come into view. Ablaza vulnerably muses, “I need you, but sometimes I push away / but I’m grateful that you still choose to stay.” Musically, the song demonstrates the group’s diverse influences, including r&b, rock, and jazz.

Time keeps passing always on the go
Decided I will stay here on the floor
Pouring down the rain will let me feel
Patiently I'll wait for me to heal

Takes much more time than we usually give
Not always so easy to receive
I need you, but sometimes I push away
But I'm grateful that you still choose to stay

I swam inside
My peace of mind
I pray I stay in

Distance
Point of view
Seeing you and understanding
Why I
I was led to you

Let myself surrender to my breath
Regulated heart is the new wealth
No longer is there a need to chase the sun
I feel, I know, I trust my time will come

But it takes much more time than we usually give
Not always so easy to receive
I need you, but sometimes I push away
But I'm grateful that you still choose to stay

Distance
Point of view
Seeing you and understanding
Why I
I was led to you

Clarity

‘The Mute And The Blind’ is the second advance track from Pajaro Sunrise’s upcoming album, “The Future Is Not What It Used To Be”. Yuri Méndez keeps treading his own path within the Spanish independent music scene and this new single is another exceptional display of his craftsmanship in songwriting, akin to contemporaries such as José González, Damien Jurado and Kings Of Convenience. While the lyrical subject deals with notions around media obsession and the commodification of most elements of society, the song’s melodic strength and its gentle instrumentation provide a sense of marvel and candor as necessary counterpoint.
