Rendered Armor 

Ritual Howls - Alone Together

From forthcoming Album. Due for release in 2019.

The blue hour is the transitional period between day and night, or light and dark if you will. This represents the overall metaphor within the song. The song is about someone being split in half, just like the blue hour, eventually falling deeper into darkness.  Nothing lasts forever.

Combining influences such as New Order, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears & Soft Cell, FEHM are a five-piece band from Leeds who create music that is ‘Startlingly brisk and wholly stark' (Clash). 

Part of Leeds’ ever evolving, close knit DIY community their debut EP ‘Circadian Life’ released on Art Is Hard Records in late 2016 & 2 double singles in 2017 & 2018 Human Age/Last Breath & Scarborough Warning/The Sea To Come were described by DIY as ‘Cut through with searing white heat…a fearsome stride forward’.

The band have recorded their debut album in July/August 2018 with Matt Peel at The Nave. This sees the band fully embracing their ever-expanding sound and venturing further into the darker sonic depths that their last releases hinted at. Whilst layers of synths, guitar melodies and driving bass lines wind and fall underneath Paul’s stark and melodic vocals.

LYRICS

'As he walks down the road to nowhere
Where nobody goes, where it splits down the middle
In half he’s torn, in half he was born
Nothing lasts forever

Do you stop and think for a second?

Nothing lasts forever, I never knew you at all
And for good measure, you burnt the sun out after all 

As he runs down beyond the cross roads 
Where he could not think, where he’s split down the middle   
A point of no return, a point he should have learnt
That nothing lasts forever 

Do you stop and think for a second?

Nothing lasts forever, I never knew you at all
And for good measure, you burnt the sun out after all 

The blue hour awaits and the sky it captivates
He’s half of a human, the runaway 

Nothing lasts forever, I never knew you at all
And for good measure, you burnt the sun out after all 

Do you stop and think for a second?
For no one, for nothing, “I was wrong”.

Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever'

Blue Hour (Nothing Lasts Forever)

The French/Australian 2 piece (named after Ultravox lyrics), deliver 5 tracks of warped pop that spill their minimal/dark/cold waves over the edge of the infinity pool.

Parting Shot is the title track from the 2nd EP 'Parting Shot' by Northern Light Exposure.

Recorded at Miloko’s ‘The Pool’ studios, and mixed at Youth’s own Prism Sound studios by Michael Rendall, the EP see’s the powerhouse behind both Echo & the Bunnymen’s ‘Meteorites’ and The Jesus and Mary Chain’s ‘Damage & Joy’ albums. This EP defines the band’s darker sounds, with droning guitars, pulsating synths, thunderous drums, whilst still retaining the icy guitar riffs, glowering basslines and the moody melodic baritone of Glen’s melodies.

Release Date: 08/02/2019 

Produced by Youth
Recorded at The Pool, London
Mixed by Michael Rendall at Prism Sounds
Master by Nigel Walton at the Edit Suite UK

LYRICS:
Les fossiles de mirages 
Vous saluent d’un geste trop fier
De leurs fibrilles
La poussière vous connaît

Retouchant ses motifs d’un vent mauvais
Sur le chemin de vos regrets
La poussière vous concerne

Elle vous suit dans les
Moindres ruelles, jusqu’à
Vos médiocres hôtels
La poussière particulière

Et telle une sérénade
Par la fenêtre vient
Dormir sur vos effets
La poussière sans frontières

Sans frontières
Le désert égalitaire

Faute d’apocalypse

Un autre été arrive porté par les nuages
Et soudain vous rappelle l’Exode
… et le passage des sauterelles
(La poussière vous prévient)

Et si la langue indifférente du sirocco
Étouffe une à une les chandelles
Et même passée l’heure bleue
Du matin gris, aigri du rose
Purgé du ciel
La poussière vous déteint

Observerez figé
Au milieu d’une rue ensablée
Ce qui devient
Le crépuscule... réitère

Le sac de l’aventure toujours vide
Traîne telle une peau morte
Sur votre flanc
Mais déjà votre peau 
Est bien morte

À l’aube, Vengeur Marseille
Quittera le port 
Avec ou sans votre épiderme

Quelle différence
Ça peut bien faire?
De la poussière

Brilliantly combining the art of sound design with unforgettable songwriting, Montréal-based synth-pop duo Automelodi is back with their third full-length Mirages au futur verre-brisé out May 3, 2019. As an established and respected staple of the international community of underground hardware enthusiasts, Automelodi is led by the inspiring studio engineering and magnetic persona of singer/producer Xavier Paradis. Showcasing his master ability to design infectious rhythms, rich bass lines, and brooding hooks, Automelodi expertly crafts a listlessly romantic aesthetic embodied by Paradis’ dynamic voice and eloquent French lyrics. Automelodi’s focus on color and arrangement converges taste and technique, making Mirages au futur verre-brisé deeply engaging for both party-goers and analog synth connoisseurs alike.

Mirages au futur verre-brisé

La Poussière

Automelodi - Mirages au futur verre - brisé - 01 La Poussière

You wanna die for your country? You wanna die for your flag?
They wanna die on the dancefloor!

The 3rd single 'Die on the dancefloor' is a political statement without any moralizing undertone. A song against nationalism, sprawling capitalism and violence. A soundtrack of war in the disco. 
Once again Usagi Is Dead are creating a melancholic, monotone and dark tune blending a fat Korg Polysix bassline with heavily chorused guitars and an amazing cello.

Die On The Dancefloor
