In My Head

Italian post-punk band Leatherette have announced the release of their debut album 'Fiesta', due out on 14th October via Bronson Recordings.

They have now shared the first single, 'So Long', an extravagant and catchy slice of modern post punk, full of rugged noise and crushing melodies. The band explain: "It is a song about struggling to the point you feel you hit rock bottom. Screaming about it might not be the answer to the problem, but we must confess it was quite fun and liberating. Loud, acid, alien guitars, and a punchy, hypnotic rhythm section were surely helpful to the process".

Lyrics:
Locking eyes with a foe in a floral blue dress
A grin, a name, a weight in the glance, a whirl of ideas
Civilised in person, raw in retreat
Upbahpbahpbahpbahp-biased to ever stop hinting a spark

Distressed sermon, free rogue vermin
Do you wonder? Leave distance?
Hope you feel the parting breath

I’m searching the depths of a faith long lost
All aboard the loco motive, fear not losing track

Any arrow in the heart, just to feel it
Shock of pain into a darkness, numbness

Arrow

this that real talk stuff

you are so many things to me
i can’t remember what i mean
well come on
it’s too easy
you’re pulling the strings every time
you are so many times of day
i can’t remember what i say
when your scratchin the border
i’m pullin my head back around

is it always on your mind
like it’s always on mine
what’s been always on your mind
i don’t mind siftin through

there are so many words around
i can’t remember how they sound
when i’m facing a stranger 
i’m melting back into the world

there are so many lives to live
and there are these feelings that i get
that pull me 
back out of
my place and i chase some around

is it always on your mind?
like it’s always on mine?
what’s been always on my mind
where’s the time?
scared to move

Amor Amor - Roll With It

Note from 𝙳𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚎𝚗 𝚉𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚕, founder of ᴇᴍᴘᴛʏ6ᴘᴀᴄᴋ:
This album was recorded in Kalfarlien 18, an old house, incredible haven for madmen and lost souls, full of magical energy, old memories, strange objects… This is the residence of the Sundby in Bergen, Norway. Edvard Sundby is an unknown genius, a fantastic cellist, and a mystic in every way. His brother is a well-known jazz band drummer, with some experimental projects.
Axel Vildenes, frontman of ᴋᴀᴋᴋᴍᴀᴅᴅᴀꜰᴀᴋᴋᴀ, lives nearby and made an agreement to install the recording studio inside Edvard's house for the entire duration of the 𝘏𝘶𝘴 album recording.
I happened to live in that same house at that time. Once or twice a week, they would come to the house, and we used to hear the band as they were listening to specific parts of the song over and over again; as if they were trying to find the perfect recipe.
For me that time of my life was very important and that is why I have a special affection for this album.

YOU MIGHT JUST THINK I MIGHT JUST HOLD BACK THIS TIME
BUT, BABY, I GOTTA KEEP IT MOVING
‘CAUSE LATELY I’M UP WAY TOO LATE
I SPEND ALL MY NIGHTS WAITING FOR SLEEPING
 
I JUST DON’T GET REST NO, NOW BABY.. THIS IS REAL
I MIGHT JUST NEED YOU TO SPEAK A WORD TO ME
SET ME FREE
 
‘CAUSE THESE DAYS KEEP MOVING
MOVING ON
AND I JUST CAN’T KEEP LOOKING BACK
I GOTTA KEEP IT MOVING
 
‘CAUSE THESE DAYS KEEP MOVING
MOVING ON
AND I JUST CAN’T KEEP LOOKING BACK
I GOTTA KEEP IT MOVING
GOTTA BE STRONG
 
STRONG BLOOD PUMPING THROUGH MY VEINS
FOR DAYS I MISBEHAVE
PLEASE DON’T JUDGE ME, BABY
YOU GOTTA WORK THROUGH THE MUD
 
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME, BABY
‘CAUSE I WANNA FLY WITH YOU
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME, BABY
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME, BABY
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE
 
‘CAUSE THESE DAYS KEEP MOVING
MOVING ON
AND I JUST CAN’T KEEP LOOKING BACK
I GOTTA KEEP IT MOVING
 
‘CAUSE THESE DAYS KEEP MOVING
MOVING ON
AND I JUST CAN’T KEEP LOOKING BACK
I GOTTA KEEP IT MOVING
GOTTA BE STRONG

These Days
