Lyrics:

My name is midnight, my name is cold bones and whispers.
My name is night-thoughts, call me the color kisser.
My eyes are streetlights, shadows, mosaic mirrors.
My mind of wet-winds, spitting shiny terrors.

Doo doo doo, you know it’s how I roll…
Superpowers in small hours, you know it’s how I roll...

Next to crumpled cardboard, a patch of alley flowers.
The limping legs that, measure city blocks into hours.
Smoking circles round bus stop pageant contestants,
A bag of brain-juice, to help create and imagine.

Doo doo doo, you know it’s how I roll…
Superpowers in small hours, you know it’s how I roll...

In subway echoes and Broadway battles,
that make the doors slam and windows rattle.
Superpowers in the smallest hours,
reciting rainstorms from the dollhouse tower.

Doo doo doo, you know it’s how I'm gonna roll…
Superpowers in small hours, you know it’s how I'm gonna roll with it...


Superpowers

Enjoy! :-)


LYRICS:

It's the right time (to rise up to the top)
Prime time (cause we can't get enough)
And fight for (this city that we made)
To take back (the power that you crave)

Regain Control

It's the right time (to rise up to the top)
Prime time (cause we can't get enough)
And fight for (this city that we made)
To take back (the power that you crave)

Can't get enough
Of your love
But to save you now, i gotta give it up

Smalltown boy - Radio edit (Bronski beat cover)

Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/track/4SuzKDIhS5A7bPDk9mAhxf?si=lHvsxKgURKyW_wLVd_FM5ACar - 

Lately I've been falling asleep,
with my hands in your hair pulling you close to me,
I'm older now or though it seems,
feel the air running through your finger tips,

you and your car, you won't go far, without me,

everyone's leaving you've played the villain, 
caught in my own mistakes,
in the back seat I'm haunted 
by the thought of tapping on and off the brakes.

Broods - Bridges (Little Daylight Remix)

Sounds of Sputnik “New Born” [Ear to Ear Records] 
RIYL: Lush, Curve, M83, Hammock, No Joy, Twilight Sad
CD/ Digital PRE-ORDER: http://soundsofsputnik.bandcamp.com

New Born, the debut album from Moscow’s Sounds of Sputnik, is a kaleidoscope of reverb-soaked guitar, calculated drums, thick bass, and angular guitars intertwined with ethereal vocals. This is extraordinary noise-pop, with layered harmonies, interlacing synth and distorted guitars. Sounds of Sputnik paired up with Canadian-Ukrainian duo Ummagma to co-write, produce, and record this album, to be released on UK label Ear to Ear Records. Ummagma’s Shauna McLarnon and Alexx Kretov both contribute mesmerizing vocals.

This project leans heavily on a shared love of melodic dream pop, post-rock and shoegaze with each member bringing their own influences: aspects of Lush, Curve, My Bloody Valentine and No Joy cleverly blend with Hammock, Jesus & Mary Chain and The Twilight Sad to create remarkable “dream noise”.

Rewind about 12 years ago. Roman, Shauna and Alexx were collaborating a bit until Shauna and Alexx left Russia. After losing contact for an entire decade, the three finally reunited last year and quickly beginning to work on new material.

New Born features drummer Graham Bonnar (Swervedriver/ Brian Jonestown Massacre) on ‘Overdrive’, and remixes by Malcolm Holmes (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark), psych rock producer Fran Ashcroft (Damon Albarn), Russian producers Morozov and Oleg Mezherovsky, and Brazil’s Mind Movies. British producer Marc Joy (Mike Peters, Golden Fable, Primal Scream, Bernard Butler) provided mastering support.

Both bands have been steadily developing a strong international following, partly due to their impeccable ability to blend genres. "In an orbit of their own, they are gathering followers like stardust" (Nerdy Frames).

About Sounds of Sputnik:
Moscow-based Sounds of Sputnik is Roma Kalitkin, whose signature sound mixes post-rock, shoegaze and dream pop with a slight kickback to noise pop. Originally from Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia, he draws inspiration from My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, Sonic Youth, Happy Mondays, and Slowdive. Dubbing himself a "white crow", the music he makes has always gone against trends within Russia, both now as a solo artist and for the 20-odd years he played in various post-punk and shoegaze bands prior to that.

About Ummagma:
Ummagma began in Moscow in 2003, but finally released two LPs (Ummagma & Antigravity) in 2012. They recently released the single Rotation and Lama LP on Emerald & Doreen Recordings. Ummagma has had a full-page feature in Rolling Stone Russia, has won Alternative Eurovision competitions for 2 years in a row (Amazing Radio & Pure 107.8 FM), and received 2 awards at the 2013 Australian Independent Music Video Awards. Ummagma also caught the attention of Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and Malcolm Holmes (OMD), who have remixed tracks for fall 2014 release.

Label:
Ear to Ear Records was founded in the UK in 2013. Specializing in dream pop, shoegaze, and indie rock, the label originally began with local bands from Wales, such as Lights That Change and Indigo Sky. It soon grew to also include several bands from Europe/ North America, such as Ummagma and Sounds of Sputnik. This month, Ear to Ear also released a mini-EP by Lights That Change.

Up In The  Blue Sky

A beautiful day
If I get my way
We’ll be up up up
Get in my flying machine
Live the dream (yeah)

Don’t be afraid
We’ll be fine
You can trust in me
She is one of a kind
(Are you ready for) a real good time? (yeah)

Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side
Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side

A little bit cold
Hold me tight
No-one can touch us here
(Out Of Mind)
Out of sight (alright)

Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side
Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side

They say what goes up must come down
What do they know
Get our head up in the clouds
Don’t want to touch the ground no-more 

Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side
Up in the blue sky
You & I side by side 
You & I side by side

When Christmas Comes
When I go home I will walk via tinseltown, 
down LED avenues, jingle bells all around
Where they pluck all the stars from out the sky, 
and they hang them from rafters up on high 

I wished away the last year, it was the worst of times, 
audition for ass end of horse in village pantomime.
Just to hear your voice calling from the back
“it’s behind you!” oh yeh thank God for that

Christmas Eve, torrential rain
One single snowflake on this plain
I held you in gloved hands
and I’m not letting go 

New Year to November
It’s looming near, it lingers close
Into December,
when Christmas comes, what’s lurking goes

Saved hard all Winter to ensure your stocking’s full,
joined the choir, took myself door to door
making small change with all the carollers
every mention of His name changed to yours

A dream of you stood naked as Christmas tree, 
left unattended ’til second week of February.
In the morning, you’re lying next to me
Covered in gold, stole from nativity

Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime!
Lift your glasses high 
for the Boy Child!


When Christmas Comes

Ideas can never be defeated, for good or for ill they are  bulletproof. All should be free to live as they see fit free from tyranny, oppression and terror. That is all.

Music & Lyrics: Jeremy (Jay) Hay (AKA isunray).

There’s no flesh
There’s no blood
Within this body to kill

There’s only an idea
And ideas are bullet proof

There’s no law
There’s no judge 
Who can pass sentence on this

We only have one fear
Common contagious apathy

We’ve been paralysed by choice
Everyone has an agenda
Hard to find to find your voice

Try to keep things simple now
If you think it’s wrong it probably is
If you feel it’s wrong it usually is

There’s no flesh
There’s no blood
Within this body to kill

There’s only an idea
And ideas are bullet proof

If you’re going to be heading west down Sunset Boulevard in a convertible at some point, and let’s face it, it’s going to happen sooner or later, there are only so many jams that you’d be proud to blast from your ride. The Bearded Man knows this — that’s why he chooses his tuneage with the skillful precision of a master surgeon at the height of his craft. When mustache combing through his crate of tapes, he always picks Meeka Kates’ ‘Closure’ for the perfect low-rider anthem.

Looking For Trouble (isunray & cosmic address)

This track is inspired by Kraftwerk, possibly the mostly influential band since the Beatles.

The same way that rock guys went to the source to learn from Muddy Waters & Robert Johnson, for me, I went to Kraftwerk.  They have left an indelible mark on not just myself but the world. 

Without Kraftwerk we wouldn't have Orchestral Manouevres In The Dark, Depeche Mode, Erasure, The Human League or any other synth based band not to mention the total realm of EDM that wouldn't exist without their trailblazing albums from the 70's and 80's.

Come to me sleep my friend 
This day has come to an end
My head is reeling, my thoughts they hang heavy
The walls they keep closing in 
Come to me soft as rain again

Let me drink from your cup
Tell me stories where we never gave up
Dreams filled with triumph, conquest no reprisals
A hero for this day and age
Let me win, just for a moment again

Stay with me, stay with me, stay (dream on dreamer)
Stay
Stay with me, stay with, stay (dream on dreamer) 
Stay

You don’t think of me in the day 
Empty hours wasting way
Ideals without action, without concept or vision
Wake up before it’s too late
Don’t be a star waiting for night to come

Stay with me, stay with me, stay (dream on dreamer)
Stay
Stay with me, stay with, stay (dream on dreamer) 
Stay

You need me more than you love me 
You need me more than you love me

Stay with me, stay with me, stay (dream on dreamer)
Stay
Stay with me, stay with, stay (dream on dreamer) 
Stay

Stay with me, stay with me, stay (dream on dreamer)
Stay
Stay with me, stay with, stay (dream on dreamer) 
Stay

A thing of beauty is a joy forever
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
