City of Hearts
I felt that I was half alive
I counted 24, 25
I wanted,
I wanted not to be lonely but still alone
Walking slowly but nearing home
I wanted
I wanted
 
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes
 
You’d say that it was true to form
I was wishing hard for a storm
I wanted,
I wanted to see storm clouds rushing by
In a dark, brooding, stormy sky
I wanted, I wanted
 
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes

Title track from Sleep Thieves upcoming album 'You Want The Night' to be released June 17th via Minty Fresh Records (US).

"After branding their trademark sweeping electronic style back in late February with “City of Hearts”, Irish trio Sleep Thieves are back and better than ever with new single, “You Want The Night”.​ Taken from their similarly titled new album set for release this June, “You Want The Night” is a darkly hypnotic and throbbing sample of new-age electro that sits somewhere in between Chromatics and Drive soundtrack alumni Desire.

Sleep Thieves - You Want The Night

nighty-night knights - (old)

From the album Ad Infinitum, out September 18, 2015 on Merge Records.

Ad Infinitum

Telekinesis "Sleep In"

I know you think of me
Sadistically it makes me happy
We have that at least
Even though it's hopeless
It was reckless of me to believe we have forever
Cause no one has forever

But every time the thought of you came up
I thought of something else
Then I grew up, I grew old
I guess it's much easier
To see the truth within our hearts
To see the things we let go so stupidly
But life is cruel and complicated

I wish that I could walk with you
Just one more time while we are young
Into the woods behind our house
And I would tell you how I really feel
But I guess we have too much to lose
And time has had it's way with us
Our footprints are still lying there underneath
15 years of fallen leaves

And now the house belongs to strangers
And the woods are ours no longer
When we grew up, we grew cold
I guess it's much easier
To blend the things within our hearts
It's easier to let go
Cause life is cruel and complicated

And even though the memory is weak
Our hearts remember fondly all the things that used to matter
It was reckless of me to believe we have forever
Cause no one has forever

Smoke & Jackal - "No Tell"

Your steps around my throat (Feat. Death In Vegas)

Many Rooms, unexplored
I keep away from those doors
But I get pulled towards
And I listen to the voices

Stern commands, this is who you are
The Fighter, The Butcher Bird

You walk, You Walk, You walk
With Fire
Then you find you run towards
The place that you’ve
Been running from

The knowing is quiet
But it won’t be ignored
I have no, no control
Over the direction anymore
I can’t hide, my armies
They will find me, every time

Stern commands, this is who you are
The Fighter, The Butcher Bird
You walk, You Walk, You walk
With Fire

Walk With Fire

i first heard iamamiwhoami at a restaurant in london a few years ago.  after hearing them i emailed my manager, eric, and asked 'have you heard of this band iamamiwhoami?' and he wrote back, 'yes, we manage them'.  

when they asked me to do a remix for them i happily said 'yes', as i'm a fan of theirs.  and when i heard the song they wanted me to remix i realized that i didn't want to deconstruct it and change it, but rather just add melodic and structural elements to it, to enhance what they'd already done.

iamamiwhoami; y (Moby remix)

After sold out NFT drop with Opulous and securing an array of song placements in international adverts, US TV shows notably, the ‘Wander Darkly’ film trailer starring Sienna Miller and Diego Luna,  and recently two tracks on the cult Netflix show ELITE, Hunter As a Horse return with a new single “Written In The Stars”,  through their label Bad Future Records.

“Hunter As a Horse play brilliant electro-pop, addictive and contemplative… they are a hot ticket for the future” Time Out

 Bringing to mind the mesmerising atmospherics of Lamb and Zero 7. Dark, and very lovely indeed.” The Guardian

Having their music described as a mysterious, apocalyptic soundtrack for the strange happenings of our time, they prefer to leave the meanings of their songs up for interpretation.
