[Weekly Mix] 2022.07 (2)

Late to the Party

Does It Make You Feel Good? (stripped)

This song is me being unapologetically about who I am. Like most, I find that honesty is the most important part in a relationship and sometimes it can be misinterpreted as cruel or even brutal. Oftentimes, I find that people are not being honest with themselves and would rather present a false version of who they are. TLQ breaks down those barriers and speaks to how I approach relationships.

Ignore the pollution .

Cool morning 
Take me away,  I’m tired of today
Smooth driver
Get outta town , Turn me around 

I’m cracking up while I’m  just cracking jokes 
My minds made up there’s nowhere else to go
ignore the pollution 

I feel lighter 
But Only in dreams , I don’t care what it means 
Heavy hunger 
I can’t really choose , I guess I’m old news 

I’m cracking up while I’m  just cracking jokes 
My minds made up there’s nowhere else to go
I’m cracking up while I’m  just cracking jokes 
My minds made up my minds a cloud of smoke  
ignore the pollution 

Ooooh

The shadows in time challenge my/kind(ness)

Ignore the pollution

Gimme Gimme - Day Drinking (Lyrics)

Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 Night scheming that my dreams will come true
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 
 Am I hooked on wishful thinking
 Did you wink or were you blinking
 Champagne glasses almost chinking
 Got a bike we could be could be dinking
 
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 Night scheming that my dreams will come true
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 
 Package up my heart
 And throw around the parts
 Cos you don't have to handle with care
 How do I keep myself in check
 When I'm training like a wreck
 Come join me for some truth if you dare
 You've blown away my mind
 Just like a dandelion
 I'm scattered by the wind of desire
 How do I keep myself together
 When I'm floating like a feather
 And I never ever thought I could fly
 
 Are you keen or are you tricking
 Cos my love's ripe for the picking
 Time goes slowly heartbeat ticking
 Now I'm stuck cos you're not sticking
 
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 Night scheming that my dreams will come true
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 
 Package up my heart
 and throw around the parts
 cos you don't have to handle with care
 How do I keep myself in check
 when I'm training like a wreck
 Come join me for some truth if you dare
 You've blown away my mind
 Just like a dandelion
 I'm scattered by the wind of desire
 How do I keep myself together
 When I'm floating like a feather
 And I never ever thought I could fly

Day Drinking

The Jack Moves’ latest single ‘Seabra', is the second offering from the band’s forthcoming project ‘Cruiserweight’(?). ‘Seabra’ is a breezy and romantic, mid-tempo ballad, harkening back to Philly soul acts like Teddy Pendergrass or Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, but infused with a Brazilian samba rhythm, à la Astrud Gilberto. This hybrid of sweet soul & samba, combined with lush arrangements, a head-nodding beat, and soaring emotive vocals could easily conjure a moment from The Avalanches joyous sample catalog. ‘Seabra’ could comfortably sit among contemporary tracks by artists such as Silk Sonic, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, or Durand Jones & The Indications, yet still manages to bring something unique. The Jack Moves enable disparate elements to coexist within sweet soul/R&B, much like the Brazilian community in their home-base of Newark, NJ has become an intrinsic part of the city's character. Seabra is perfect for summery playlists.

After delighting so many with his impressive ‘Good Dog’ EP in September last year, which went onto find support from Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1) and Zane Lowe (Apple Music 1), as well as being curated on Spotify playlists like ‘Fresh Finds’, ‘Melomania’ and ‘Garden Indie’, fast-rising artist Trunky Juno returns to deliver his first piece of new material for 2022, the vibrant new single ‘Oxford English Dictionary’.

Continuing his venture through the rich and woozy realm of the psych-pop sound, ‘Oxford English Dictionary’ offers up yet another wonderfully infectious delight from the Newcastle native. Brimming with fresh and sun-kissed textures, a sweeping atmosphere, and his own captivating vocals at the helm, he is kicking off the next phase of his career with one of his most loveable offerings to date.

Speaking about the new offering, he said, “I still find it difficult to spell Mississippi, but I did manage to write a fun song. It's a hooky Alt-Pop that will confidently power walk you straight back to the Trunky Superstore for more Trunky. Oxford English Dictionary was one of those tracks that sounded great as soon as I made the demo, lot's of those parts made it into the final version because they're so full of that sense of initial inspiration.”

Behind a well-established moustache and deadpan inclinations, North Eastern indie maverick Trunky Juno resides within his own sphere of off-kilter artistry. Known for his masterful lyricism, warped sounds and bold ideations, the Durham native brings a spritely disposition to the alternative music scene, twisting the mundane into something entertaining. Now backed by a diverse and relatable repertoire, the zany universe of Trunky Juno is beginning its glorious expansion. 

The original dream was to be a Backstreet Boy, a far cry from his current musical positioning. However, in some metaphysical way, we can all agree that Trunky Juno is their sixth unofficial member. Truly a musician who’s done it all, he is a name well-known to his locale having cut his teeth in many a jazz, punk and indie bands. Elsewhere inspired by the 90s slacker rock of Weezer and Beck, as well as the psychedelic tendencies of The Flaming Lips and quirky offerings of Mac Demarco, Trunky Juno finds no better way to spend his time than spinning idiosyncratic tales of our society and the pop culture that engulfs it, covering every corner of our sonic landscape. 

Outside of his attributions to the alternative music scene, Trunky Juno is an avid admirer of all forms of creativity, oft finding beauty in the abstract, be it his deep-rooted love for professional wrestling, 80s horror films or sculpting plasticine expressions onto hard-boiled eggs. He says, “I always wonder what it would be like to hear music without knowing anything about music, and that’s what I like about other art forms. I like that I know nothing about them and I can just appreciate them in a more abstract way without thinking about the gritty details.”

Trunky Juno’s new single ‘Oxford English Dictionary’ will be available to stream from the 29th June 2022 via Silent Kid Records.

Something in the darkness dwells
Like voices from your insides squall
Buried deep in shame, and regression
God’s rejected ones
Shade beneath my cast of faith
Tremored ground attest my strength

I know the plan for God’s rejected ones

Ash in hearth, I seek your shelter
Storming, rushing, bounding, assailing me
Entering my spine and crawling out my palms
The spirit is now ascending me
Commanding motion
Don’t fight, infernal eyes don't lie

Faith is learned or not realized

Something in the darkness dwells
Like poison on your lips, the sickness swells
The devil never comes if you don’t believe him
The curse relinquished
Scepter come, incarcerate
Where I'm captive, I am safe

I know the plan for God’s rejected ones

Ash in hearth, I seek your shelter
Storming, rushing, bounding, assailing me
Entering my spine and crawling out my palms
The spirit is now ascending me
Urging devotion
Don’t fight, infernal eyes don't lie

And nothing ever comes if you won’t believe it

Did Enough - Single

Did Enough ft. Elijah Waters

Lovin' On Borrowed Time

I Don't Care

Dear Listener,

This record is my love letter wrapped in honey. At first, it melts—warm, golden, almost too sweet to believe. But as it lingers, the edges sharpen, and what was once soft begins to sting. The Honeycomb Aftertaste is about that kind of love: the kind you crave, the kind that clings, the kind you still taste long after it’s gone. Every song is a page from that letter, written in sweetness and sealed with the bitterness of what remains.

Yours,
The Honeycomb Aftertaste

Lyrics: 
I stumbled in  
the dark 
too weak to stand, 
you held me up 
I thought I was seeing stars 
and the moon 
 
But I was just wasted 
(Ooh ooh ooh wasted) 
Oh I was just wasted 
on you 
 
How do I stop 
the rush? 
When will I learn 
I've had enough? 
I swore just a little more 
and you'd feel it too 
 
But I was just wasted 
(Ooh ooh ooh wasted) 
Oh I was just wasted 
on you 
 
Now I'm so tired,  
acting tough 
I want someone 
who wants my love 
and I like to think I might 
have taught you too 
 
But I was just wasted 
(Ooh ooh ooh wasted) 
Oh I was just wasted 
on you 
Yeah I was just wasted 
(Ooh ooh ooh wasted) 
Oh I was just wasted 
on you

Roselle
