superb my friend, hope you are back for a while. great production on this

Great song Josh ! hope the king is back ;) !

Welcome back, Joshua. Glad your art is back. Singing on the Edge, als always.

Classy Stuff!!  Seriously solid vocal supported by sweet harmonies.  The track builds in intensity and draws you in.  Both introspective yet bold. Great stuff man.

Some piano parts with fx inspired from the walks I've been taking lately

This is a rhythmic collage of vocal samples I took from a couple of rehearsals with a church band here in Dallas. The worship leader has a unique way of vocalizing rhythms and making all kinds of cool sounds, all of which lends itself well for a remix.

It's like a fellow I once knew in El Paso. One day, he just took all his clothes off and jumped in a mess of cactus. 
I asked him that same question, "Why?"...He said, "It seemed to be a good idea at the time."

Low Gravitation

For chamber orchestra. Premiered at Snape Maltings Concert Hall in July 2011.

Frame/Refrain

Turn your back to me
Where I can't relate
Seeking no relief
Rapture calls my name

Hell
Is a place inside
Where no due is paid
Made up in your mind
Finish your mistakes
Well

You've got to break your habits
You've got to break your habits
Still

You've got to break your habits
You've got to smash them up until
They have no face

There is no way to see
No way to prepare
Please don't wait for me
I must kill this fear
Now

I make this offering
So the rain will come
Clouds start emptying
All of me
Unborn

And so it fell
To wash away
Beneath the weight
Of heavy rain

I made this offering
So the rain would come
Clouds keep emptying
All of me
Unborn

And so it fell
To wash away
This awful smell
Of dark decay
All suffering
Begins to fade
Beneath the weight
Of heavy rain

I make this offering
So the rain will come
Clouds start emptying
All of me
Unborn

Unborn

'In Control' is the first single off DOLLS + Fauxplay's album EAT IT UP  - check the video HERE https://youtu.be/DajUghB3TZE and you can buy the track on iTunes, Bandcamp, Tidal, Amazon, Google Play (pretty much everywhere). If you like it, please share + actually _buy_ the music...  Support Indie, because it's the sexy thing to do. Come find me on Twitter/IG/FB @dollsxx

With 80's electro bass and hooky synth lines, 'In Control' darkly drives a catchy déja-vu backdrop for DOLLS' trademark lyrical juxtaposition - this time threatening listeners with a gritty, but blasé kind of true love.

In Control (DOLLS + Fauxplay)

This song explores themes of being lost or at the end of your rope, dealing with said mindset, and eventually accepting where you are in order to move on or move forward.

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."
