Telmenta Mixtape - Volume 3

Mad Vag Blues

Crave

Gold Mess

Ok so here's a track from my new album to be released in June of this year (2017). It was one of those songs written spontaneously so I really wasn't sure what it was about until it was finished. I wanted to write a song and I was sat in my music room looking at the exposed brick wall.  I already had a couple of chords and the I saw cracks in the bricks of the wall and that's where it began. I imagined someone that I didn't want to see standing outside my door with sand dropping off their shoes.  I think the person turned out to be the negative voices in my head trying to put me down and I was making a stand and saying no more!

When Did It Change?

There's No Room For Me And You (When did it change? album)

I wrote the music for this first and then the words.  I imagined a large oval table with heads of state and people of political, financial and status based power sat around it making decisions for those who have no power.  I call it one of my abstract songs just like an abstract painting it's not clear what it's about but it evokes feelings of injustice.

Old Habits

The new single from our new album 'closure' - out soon via Breakfast Records

"Set around a chunky, instantly catchy guitar riff, the track talks of inner struggles but projects them via brilliantly sunny instrumentation, contrasting light and dark perfectly." - DIY MAG

Patience

Regret or Forget

In 2007 John Beadle, a Milwaukee-based musicologist and owner of the much loved Likembe blog, uploaded a cassette he had been handed twenty years earlier by a Somalian student. The post was titled ‘Mystery Somali Funk’ and it was, in Samy’s own words, “some of the deepest funk ever recorded.” The cassette seemed to credit these dense, sonorous tunes to the legendary Iftin Band. But initial contact with Iftin’s lead singer suggested that the ‘mystery funk’ may have actually been the work of their chief rival, Dur-Dur, a young band from the 80s. 

Back then, Mogadishu had been a very different place. 
On the bustling Via Roma, people from all corners of society would gather at the Bar Novecento and Cafe Cappucino Nero, watch movies at the famous Supercinema, and eat at the numerous pasta hang-outs. 
The same street was also home to Iftinphone and Shankarphone, two of the city’s best known music shop. Located opposite each other, they were the centre of Somalia’s burgeoning cassette distribution network. Both shops, run by members of the legendary Iftin Band, would become first-hand witnesses to the meteoric rise of Dur-Dur, a rise that climaxed in April of 1987 with the release of Volume 2, their second album. 

The first single ‘Diinleya’ had taken Somalian airwaves by storm in a way rarely seen before or since. The next single, ‘Dab,’ had an even greater impact, and the two hits had turned them into the hottest band in town. 
The secrets to Dur-Dur’s rapid success is inextricably linked to the vision of Isse Dahir, founder and keyboard player of the band. Isse´s plan was to locate some of the most forward-thinking musicians of Mogadishu´s buzzing scene and lure them into Dur-Dur. Ujeeri, the band’s mercurial bass player was recruited from Somali Jazz and drummer extraordinaire Handal previously played in Bakaka Band. These two formed the backbone of Dur-Dur and would become one of Somalia’s most extraordinary rhythm sections. 

Isse also added Ahmed Dahir Qassin as a permanent sound engineer, a first in Somalia and one of the reasons that Dur-Dur became known as the best-sounding band in the country.

On their first two albums, Volume 1 and Volume 2, three different singers traded lead-vocal duties back and forth. Shimaali, formerly of Bakaka Band, handled the Daantho songs, a Somalian rhythm from the northern part of the country that bears a striking resemblance to reggae; Sahra Dawo, a young female singer, had been recruited from Somalia’s national orchestra, the Waaberi Band. Their third singer, the legendary Baastow, whose nickname came from the italian word ‘pasta’ due to the spaghetti-like shape of his body, had also been a vocalist with the Waaberi Band, and had been brought into Dur-Dur due to his deep knowledge of traditional Somali music
Yet from the very beginning, Dur-Dur’s doctrine was the fusion of traditional Somali music with whatever rhythms would make people dance: Funk, Reggae, Soul, Disco and New Wave were mixed effortlessly with Banaadiri beats, Daantho and spiritual Saar music. The concoction was explosive and when they stormed the Mogadishu music scene in 1986 with their very first hit single, ‘Yabaal,’ featuring vocals from Sahra Dawo, it was clear that a new meteorite had crash-landed in Somalia. As Abdulahi Ahmed, author of Somali Folk Dances explains: “Yabaal is a traditional song, but the way it was played and recorded was like nothing else we had heard before, it was new to us.” ‘Yabaal’ was one of the songs that resurfaced on the Likembe blog, and it became the symbolic starting point of this project.

Jaceyl  Mirahiis - Dur-Dur Band (Leave a comment for Dur-Dur´s Musicians, I´ll forward)

A wonky old demo of a long forgotten song, written (I think) around 1998, performed once on Radio Centraal (Antwerp) when Bob Theil (the presenter) commented afterwards "have you heard Joan Armatrading's song of the same name?" - well I hadn't and the thought of writing an unoriginal song, even just the title(!) made me abandon the song, I was a sad sack of insecurities it seems. Shame really it sounds ok, if only i could hit those high notes again...

Lyrics:
here today
gone tomorrow
when the joy has
turned to sorrow
in santa fe
desert outlaws
where the wind blows
across the railroad

all my dreams
crystallising
there can be no
compromising
my desert rose
is all that i want
as the wind blows
'cross the railroad

and if heaven is here with you
then the devil is here too
and if ever our dream comes true
then it's gone all too soon

crystal blue
hypnotising
there will be no
silver lining
a dream today
is gone tomorrow
when the wind blows
'cross the railroad

for megan

Hater new album 'Siesta' out 28th September
New single 'Fall Off' 

“One of the best, most underappreciated bands in the world (…) “Fall Off” finds Hater at their most softly devastating, wistful and full of hope, and it’s one of our favorite tracks from the group’s beautiful new LP Siesta” Gorilla Vs Bear

Pre-order link: https://lnk.to/hatersiesta

“Hater’s songs epitomize jangling grace as Caroline Landahl coos with maximum approachability.” NPR

“Their unique take on rock music feels familiar and lived-in, taking bits from indie-pop, post-punk and classic rock.” Stereogum

Resolute in their sound, ‘Siesta’ is the perfect soundtrack for that summer romance and the inevitable break up. Heartbreak has never sounded so sweet!

Hater’s powerful vulnerability and charm has seen them rise quickly through the ranks earning kudos from NPR (Austin 100), Stereogum (Best New Bands Of 2017), The Fader, BBC6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and more.

Sprawling guitars chime whilst slow burning grooves and classic rock rhythms allow tender-hearted vocals to soar over intelligible dream pop. Effortless and assured, the Scandi quartet drift eloquently into well-structured and stunning melodies.

Produced by Joakim Lindberg (Yast and Hey Elbow) at Studio Sickan within old railway sheds outside of Malmö Sweden. Hater tackle their personal experiences of life, love and relationships yet through their shared songwriting there's a togetherness. Synth pop earworm ‘It’s So Easy’ contrasts the slower paced 'I Wish I Gave You More Time Because I Love You' that blends beautiful sweeping sax from Inge Petersson Lindbäck. The haunting metronomic beat of ‘I Sure Want To’ calls to mind local residents Death And Vanilla, Hollywood glamour exudes on shimmering 'Things To Keep Up With' and 'Cut Me Loose' captures those long youthful days of summers gone by.. "Wouldn't it be fun? Noon is halfway and I feel gone".

Hater “boast Marr-esque guitars and vocals reminiscent of fellow Swedes and The Concretes” (Norman Records) whilst having the pop sensibilities of The Chills, Alvvays, Snail Mail and Makthaverskan.

In early 2017 Hater released their debut album ‘You Tried’ blending jangle with grit, their recent EP ‘Red Blinders’ (Fire Records) soon followed in support of their first headline tour across Europe. Festivals in 2018 have already included SXSW, Eurosonic and Ment.

Hater release ‘Siesta’ on limited edition yellow opaque double LP, standard black vinyl and CD via Fire Records on 28th September.

Hater - Fall Off

Real Like You

In a year you can complete your payments on that top of the range television set you always wanted. You could, if so inclined work your way towards social media saint hood or convince your employer you are appropriately obedient and inoffensive enough to be granted that 60p payrise unfairly withheld from you many times before.

Over the last 12 months we chose another way.

Bleeding over drum kits, mourning unused choruses and unfulfilled revolutions. Pacing relentlessly ‘Travis Bickel’ style in smoke filled council houses, contemplating violence. We did it for the glory, and weren’t in it for the money, which is a good job because there was none.

We started this thing not to be accepted we couldn’t give a fuck at this point. We just knew we couldn’t live with keeping our mouths shut any longer. We are Paris Street Rebels this is Freakshow.

Buy that television , earn that pay rise, if that’s who you are......but if it’s not....don’t pretend that you mean it.

Freakshow

Ever since Suicide Generation exploded in London like a dirty bomb blast 18 months ago, they have morphed into various incarnations to quickly become an eagerly devoured proposition in the capital’s hi-energy rock 'n' roll scene with their chaotic and explosive shows; their attack and intent as unpredictable as their sound.

Again I was inspired by a song by Cecilia. I love her beautiful lyrics for a better world and it's always a pleasure to find a suitable soundtrack. I hope I succeeded once again.
