Change (In the House of Flies) - Deftones (Dub Remix)

"Nobody Else" is the single track from the debut EP "Never Was" by Wy. 
Full EP: https://soundcloud.com/hybris/sets/wy-never-was-ep/s-SiSJH

Sad guitar, pulsing synths, brittle falsetto, majestic choruses, hyper-desperate sound, the sadness, confusion and every-day anxiety of youth, this is Wy.

If there is a specific genre for sad pop music, that is where Wy belongs. Between floating synthersizers and melancholic guitars the main focus lies on capturing every little feeling possible. Where the songs are not about unrequited love, but about being shy, feeling doubt and growing stronger from what others would describe as weakness. Where bare emotions are camouflaged by reverbed pop melodies. Where you can dance and cry at the same time because life never seems fair. Somewhere in that space and time, is Wy.

With their landmark debut EP "Never Was" Wy higlights their eclectic sound although within a narrow genre such as the alternative dream pop and shoegaze sphere. Wy consists of true longtime lovers Ebba and Michel, a creative duo knee deep in art they carve out their world together with both contributing to producing and writing music while Ebbas background as creative designer and photographer are behind all of the bands artwork, images and videos.

Wy - Nobody Else

"Right Direction," Davis's forthcoming new single, took shape during his first ever writing session with Kimbra Johnson (aka Kimbra). Prior to the session, she'd described a friend who was having trouble finding a life-long passion. Since she and Davis have music to invest their time and hard work into, the duo decided to write the song from the point of view of this friend, that is, a person who desires to work hard but doesn't have an outlet for all of that pent up energy. "I think we have all felt that way from time to time," says Davis.

Davis was also into running marathons at this time, so that image and mood found its way into the song. Opening with a crispy drum beat, acoustic guitar, plunky vibraphone and Davis' smoky vocals, the chorus gives way to bassy piano chords and soaring harmonies that ask, "How long will I run without knowing if I'm running in the right direction?"

An alternative version of "Right Direction" will also appear on Kimbra's forthcoming new album 'Primal Heart', out April 20. Benjamin Lazar Davis's debut solo album 'Nothing Matters' will be released on May 4 via 11A Records.

Nothing Matters

Right Direction

Written and Performed by NIGHT OWLS
Mixed/Produced by Mickey Dale
Mastered by James Grover

Better With Age

'Softie' is an attempt at proving that there is more than one way of being a functional human being. The album is about coping, growing out of your fears, learning how to distance yourself from your anxieties and the ups and downs that comes with being bipolar. 'Softie' is ultimately about releasing the pressure off of yourself and we want to encourage our listeners to do the same.

We decided to make a record that was turbulent, back and forth and non-conforming, because we wanted our second album to hit you in the face rather than rock you to sleep or move you to tears.

Wy - Softie

You and me will be 
Whatever it takes don't think about breaks 
I can feel I’m slowly changing 

All the plans and dreams 
That you and me share 
I don't wanna dare to replace them 
I know you waited long 

You and me so free, to do whatever we want 
whatever we need
I just love it we could be anything 
Don't you know what its like 
When I do get scared? Well Im a little scared you know that

I do, Your'e so comforting 
Do I? Give in to your dream 
Babies, in our apartment love? 
Im still figuring myself out

It’s all I think about
You’ve gone and missed me a lot 
I avoid the question 
But I feel so guilty afterwards 

I know what I said but honey I can think again
I rather just think again 
You should know that 
I can really change
I know what its like to wait forever for a shot
Something to hit the spot, you should know that

I do, Your'e so comforting 
Do I? Give in to your dream 
Babies, in our apartment love? 
Im still figuring myself out

Just stay cool, just stay cool, dont act a fool, oh whatever you do
Just stay cool, just stay cool, dont act a fool, oh whatever you do

It’s all I think about
You’ve gone and missed me a lot 
I avoid the question 
But I feel so guilty

• Lyrics •

A boy met a girl when he rang a little bell in a lullaby…
The girl raised her hand, singing “catch me if you can,”
and they both disappeared in the ringing of my ears.

They laughed and they played, and they treasured every day 
of the summertime.
And just as they kissed, she withdrew into the mist
and the boy stayed behind in the caverns of my mind.

And you’d never even know that he was there,
but I whisper to him softly and take him everywhere.

And the years went by but nothing ever changed.
He forgot about the girl and let the laughter drift away.

Then one sullen night, he perceived a little light in the corridor.
The girl raised a lamp and she took him by the hand

and we both disappeared, yeah we both disappeared…
we both disappeared, yeah we both disappeared…
we both disappeared, yeah we both disappeared…
