twenty twenty one

Burning all my candles, i'll just wait for oblivion
Lighting up my photos, i can’t wait to start again

Yes it’s a bitter pill, too sharp to ignore, when the body is begging the mind
Sad things start to resonate, yea, when the romance washed away

This is the only way, you’re gonna have to eat your heart out
Too late, I realize, I’m just a conduit for the pain
it's like a phone call late at night, its burning up your life
I’m dying just to give you any broken part of me you’ll take

Just us - two stupid kids, burning up our place, how’s anyone supposed to live here now?
Skipping through the street and singing “this is not my life...” 

Burning all my candles, i'll just wait for oblivion
Lighting up my photos, i can't wait to start again

Is it enough? To be alone, in all we feel? It feels too real
The empty space is harmony - it’s just a conduit for the pain

This is the only way, you’re gonna have to eat your heart out
Too late, I realize, I’m just a conduit for the pain
it's like a phone call late at night, it’s burning up your life
I’m dying just to give you any broken part of me you’ll take

“‘Blood-Soaked’ tells the tale of the power of the mind. Although you get to choose the outcome, you are not always the winner. Reality is your prize, and is your creation, and that creation can be your greatest achievement or your biggest downfall. I’ve tried to convey this message through the loose narrative of a prize fighter from ancient Greece in a battle of epic proportions, hanging on for dear life.”
- Geoff 🥃

Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight

Blood-Soaked

"This song is about waking up and sneaking out the house to get some air and reset your state of mind. Kind of like giving your body an audience and making yourself feel good."

Further info
Following the release of two 12"s in the past year, White Flowers return with the Within A Dream EP,  a recently recorded four song collection to be released on 15th January 2021. Alongside digital formats, it will be pressed to 12" transparent vinyl in an edition of 300.  

The four tracks on the EP came together earlier this year during various periods of enforced isolation, and somewhat inevitably reflect the conditions of their provenance, exploring themes of dissociation, multiple selves, and the role of the individual in an increasingly strange and fragmented world. Co-produced with Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Perfume Genius, Portishead), Within A Dream combines home and studio recordings in ways that display the duo’s growing ability to switch between grand sonic gestures and subtle sonic abstractions.

Alongside the three originals which explore the outer edges of post-punk, dreampop and shoegaze in increasingly alien ways, is a beguiling cover of Mama Cass’ ‘Didn’t Want to Have to Do It’. As with their version of Red House Painters' 'Katy Song' from their previous 12”, it's provides another example of how defined White Flowers' aesthetic has become, as they’re effortlessly able to shape the music of others to their own vision. Indeed, as with all their videos and records to date, the artwork for the single is again created entirely by the band, another example of their intentions to create a defined White Flowers universe distinctly their own.

With Immortal Word, Baltimore percussive extraordinaire David Jacober returns to gleefully eerie apparitional atmospheres first excised on The Gray Man in 2015 . On this tenth installment of Geographic North's Sketch for Winter series - highlighting compositions intentionally crafted for the colder season - Jacober beachcombed his way through frigid fog and frosted flotsam that washed ashore to cull 6 new songs of hypnotized hauntology and curiously climatic chorales with his trusty marimba mallets in tow.

Immortal Word opens with  “Four Horsemen”, rippling across an incoming tide of bubbling, frothing percussion and mirthful marimba melody. “Toast” breaks through the misting, overcast skieWith Immortal Word, David Jacober, Dope Body drummer and Baltimore percussive extraordinaire, returns to the gleefully eerie apparitional atmospheres first excised on his Geographic North debut, The Gray Man in 2015. On this tenth installment of the Sketch for Winter series - highlighting compositions intentionally crafted for the colder season - Jacober sets gaze to the sea, beachcombing his way through frigid fog and frosted flotsam to cull 6 new songs of hypnotized hauntology effortlessly blending climatic bombast with the tranquilizing harmonics of marimba.

Immortal Word opens with “Four Horsemen”, rippling across an incoming tide of bubbling, frothing percussion and mirthful melody. “Toast” breaks through the misting, overcast skies with a pulsing, sifting rhythm and wide-eyed optimism. The album’s namesake, “Immortal Word” turns that positivity inward, exploring a pile of tuneful textures and playful phrases.

On the B-side, “Flashbacking” wafts through a vacated, shadow-lined boardwalk in a euphoric daze of unhurried movement. The cold gust that is “Witching Hours” reels itself upward in a reversed rain of dripping tones. Closer “Universal Sign” makes calm space to host a sort of moonlit seance, decked in a wistful cloud of peripheral synesthesia.

Jacober - "Toast"

Devon Williams is back with a new EP named "Out of Time." Redolent with the feelings of isolation, impatience and dread common to all of us during these days of pandemic, "Out of Time" is the product of spending lockdown away from home, adding to the sense of dislocation. According to Williams: "...the ideas of running out of time, feeling stagnant, self-doubt came through in different ways in these songs."

The EP focuses on the dreamier side of Williams' blend of folk and power-pop, calling to mind such inspirations as Felt, The Church and Teardrop Explodes. Lead single "La La La La II" is a new version of a key tune from 2009's "Euphoria" album and a perfect showcase for Devon's rich, melodic songcraft. Amidst the chaos of 2021 "Out of Time" is a much-needed antidote, a soothing melodic tonic for our times.
