Outta Here

It's been a little while, but I'm back with a slow burner that encapsulates a very Canadian (I'm from Vancouver), but relatable, combination of civility and resentment that develops when we let our hidden anger towards others silently smolder.

Early in 2019 on vacation in Hawaii, my dad and I were chatting over morning coffee about what each of us had been working on — he freshly retired from teaching creative writing, and I recently returned to the On Planets project after about a year in hiatus. I mentioned casually that if he wrote any poems that could be translated into a song, we might try and put a track together. A couple months later he followed up with a piece called Sticks, which really resonated with me, and I immediately knew how the song should sound. After a few iterations, working out some details together and adding a refrain, I felt the track adequately captured the smoldering feeling of the poem.

This all was a stark contrast to my own songwriting process, which is an extremely gradual percolation of abstract thoughts driven by the deliberate assembly of fragmented lines written on scraps of paper and untitled notes on my phone; a crude and convoluted kind of simultaneous construction/deconstruction process that spans months, sometimes years. In this project, I felt somewhat like a translator, making an interpretive rendering of the work of the foremost creative sage in my life. I'm humbled to have the opportunity to collaborate with such a master as he, and humbled that when I read his writing it feels familiar—as if it might have come from my own pen, but infinitely more refined, wise, and impactful.

Lyrics:

You throw stones
I put up sticks
the sound we make
is a thunder
when wind wails up
a push through each room
door blows open
letters get tangled
from A onto Z
we put them together
so hard to read

In a constant come-around
Believe me, I should know by now
Remind me how this goes
Broken bones, broken bones
Acquiescent to the tone
Believe me, I should know, I should know
But show me how this goes
Broken bones, broken bones

You carry sticks
I pile up stones
the space between us
sounds like distance
a word so simple to spell
the sentence that we build
is a thunder

On Planets - Sticks

Walking Away

Produced by neek
Mixed/Mastered by David Burris at Mateo Sounds

Lyrics: 
Maybe we should talk about us
Left it in the summer hot mess oh 
And i know that you know that we know 
That we’re to blame
Deeper and deeper we’ve fallen into the game 

Talking out loud but you don’t say a thing 
Being with you it was all just a dream 
Holding on now to stolen memories 

Take me down this road
or let me go 
Don’t let me go 

Take me down this road
Or let me go 
Don’t let me go 

Someone’s gotta give it up real soon 
Cuz i’m always reaching out for you 
Lost in the middle 
You try, but you can’t explain
Walking away, but i love you just the same 

Take me down this road
Or let me go 
Don’t let me go 

Take me down this road
Or let me go 
Don’t let me go

ISOLA
"Said It Again" from EP1
out 2 October on GODMODE

buy/stream: http://isolalv.bandcamp.com

Isola is Ivana Carrescia, an artist and synthesist based in the Las Vegas desert. For Isola, there is music hidden in every sound around us – the howl of wind, the whirr of traffic, the blank hum of a refrigerator. Isola’s debut EP on Los Angeles's Godmode label pairs her glassy vocals and musique concrète style with minimal house and dub techno reminiscent of early Chain Reaction releases. Across all seven tracks she worked closely with Godmode co-founder Nick Sylvester, the producer behind other Godmode breakouts such as Channel Tres and Yaeji.
