I am occasionally compelled to check out mainstream music media, in a similar manner that a grocery shopper standing in line peruses the tabloids. I am always struck by how infrequently the headlines actually have to do with music. Instead I typically find myself reading about the love lives, professional feuds, and fleeting tweets of pop artists, whom--I have to imagine--would much prefer that the general public care more about the fruits of their efforts as musicians than about who they're currently dating or which previous collaborator is currently pissed at them. "Circus" is my attempt to articulate the mainstream music industry's tendency to value on- and off-stage showmanship over music itself.

The song was written in my car over several commutes to and from work in my 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier. It was the winter of 2018, and the CD player in my car had abruptly decided to cease both playing and relinquishing the discs that had been crammed into its orifice over 18 years of servitude. In lieu of spending my commutes listening to one of the thousands of mixes I'd burned for myself, I turned to two alternatives: listening to the radio (an activity I tend to avoid, as a general rule--perhaps to a fault) and writing songs in my head. The former exposed me to the music of popular artists I'd previously never given the time of day, and while I may not be entirely converted from an Indie/Psych/Art Rock guy to a Mainstream Pop Music lover, I did discover something of a newfound appreciation for the content I'd overlooked due to my overall distain for the manner of presentation and promotion. The latter inevitably became informed by the subtle stylistic influence of and my inconsequential ruminations on the former, and thus was the song "Circus" born.

Circus

This is a debut single from Rotary Encoder TM C (R).

It's a cover from Psychic Twin and if you don't like it, blame them.

Clerk Of The Office

F#m7,                              B9
We climbed Olympus, no gods were on site 
F#m7,                              B9
And so our mission became this satellite 
F#m7,                              B9
A climate cruel here, but we’re well fitted
G#m7,                             G,                                  E,       D
We’ve got the science, and we’re committed 

Gm,                                             Dm     
Here’s the way we move the moon
A#,                                                   Dm
Here’s the way it’s coming soon 
G#,                                                                             D#,      C#
All the obstacles crushed. A city built from the dust!


F#m7,                              B9
We felt the touchdown, then felt our gooseflesh
F#m7,                              B9
This is our world now. This is our reset 
F#m7,                              B9
And though the bumps stayed, we found our sea legs
G#m7,                             G,                                  E,       D
Time sometimes whispers, but it'll never beg 

Gm,                                             Dm     
Here’s the way we move the moon
A#,                                             Dm     
Here’s the way it’s coming soon 
G#,                                                                            D#     
All the obstacles crushed. A city built from the dust


Am7,                                 D9
The worms and willows, the endless oceans
Am7,                                  D9
The seas of strangers, the warmth and motion 
Am7,                                  D9
So much to miss there, but we are alright 
Bm7,                                Bb,                            G, G, Gm,  F, Eb
The days are diamonds, and we subdue each night


G#m,                                             D#m     
Here’s the way we move the moon
B,                                                   D#m
Here’s the way it’s coming soon 
A,                                                                           E
All the obstacles crushed. A city built from the dust!

The Way We Move the Moon

Bm(maj7) ............................ C#ø
Shot down, behind the lines. Chained in an endless crime. 

D+.................................. Em
Mangled in flesh and mind. Reduced to a shadow.                            

Bm(maj7).................................C#ø
Now they’ve got a scene to weave. They demand that the world believe

D+.................................Em
That they've built a realm of light. A glorious country.    

F#7.................................Em7                                       
So they clean me up. Turn the cameras on. 
   
C#ø.................................Em(add2)    
Tell me: Make them believe or your teeth are gone. 

.

                  Bm...... Bm(maj7) ....... Bm7 ....... Bm6                      
So I say: “Hail this utopia! Where the faces all are shining.

                   Em ...................... Bm .....................Em........................C(#4)...... F#                     
Where the comrades all from least to most are all well placed and climbing

Bm .............. Bm(maj7) ........... Bm7 .................   Bm6                      
Don’t shed a tear for me. This nation is most blessed.”

                Em ......................... F#7    C7     F#7        Bm
But my eyes are blinking out  - - -   — — —   - - -  S.O.S

.

Bm(maj7)................................. C#ø
Seasons passed. A coup was staged. Was a new face, on the bills & change      

D+ ................................. Em
But the prison remains the same. My lifeblood keeps draining.                         

Bm(maj7).................................  C#ø
The new regime wants the world to know. Their shade of red’s the one that glows

D+................................. Em
That they’ve repaired what the Old Guard broke. A glorious nation! 


F#7.................................Em7               
So they clean me up. Turn the cameras on. 

C#ø ................................. Em(add2)   
Tell me: Make them believe or your family’s gone. 
.

So I say: “Hail this utopia! Where the faces all are shining.                    
Where the comrades all from least to most are all well placed and climbing                  
Don’t shed a tear for me. This country is most blessed."
But my eyes are blinking out   - - -   — — —   - - -  S.O.S.

Blinking (SOS)

Now it’s vertigo, then moonglow
And everything feels so new
All that’s left to say is float on
and now we’re into the blue      
              
We’re already homesick but we’re not looking back
We’re equal parts elated and just numb to the facts
And we’re making time on this celestial track                       
Nothing but sky    

See the light now gently bending
and see the color decay
And the force that always bound us
its pull is slipping away     

Yes, it’s terrifying but it’s here and it’s ours
It’s electric lovers drinking heat from the stars
It’s a billion lightyears, but it isn’t that far 
A violent joy 

The moon is laughing 
The cosmos is asking

See the light now gently bending
and see the color decay
And the force that always bound us
its grip is slipping away

We’re a little stricken but we’re not looking back
We’re equal parts elated and just numb to the facts
And we’ve made good time on this celestial track
And now we’re home

Vertigo Then Moonglow

Oh the lungs full of shadows!
Oh the hearts full of arrows
Oh and the organs of peace 
Oh and the children who just know
Mmm Mmm Mmm   
Oh and the mines in the shallows 
See that our eyes are all closed?


Oh I look through my eye
Oh the vitreous drifts by 
Oh what if I looked through yours? 
Oh who would I then spy?
Mmm Mmmm Mmmmm  
Oh who would I then spy 
seeing the world through your eye?

See That Our Eyes Are All Closed?

Was in a metal mood today. This turned out really cool.

Always A Victim

We’re adapting our songwriter's sci-fi novel into an indie rock concept album. The music is otherworldly, and the story is one that’ll stay with you. This is chapter 5, in song form. 

LYRICS:

Here in these lungs, within this architecture
Inside each breath, they’re offering strange strange fire

With the divine confined, with ancient rites appropriated
And with a billion souls, they’re offering strange strange fire

Strange fire, strange fire
The otherworldly flames rise high
And the otherworldly other worlds drift by

With books of law, with ritual and hubris
With eyes blind to the new, they’re offering strange strange fire

With blade and bomb, with cuts of cruel confusion
With their crescents stained, they’re offering strange strange fire

Strange fire, strange fire
The otherworldly flames rise high
And the otherworldly other worlds drift by

With a pantheon, and with ranks inescapable and,
And with their fair distained, they’re offering strange strange fire

Strange fire, strange fire
The otherworldly flames rise high
And the otherworldly other worlds drift by

Strange Fire

Full moon's out
Time to devour
Intense gaze 
Do you desire?


Oh, Craving your flesh, 
Oh, Watch me undress

I'll tease, but I'll please you
Let's go through everything you know

Your scent
gets me dizzy
Head is spinning 
You're my new drug 

You're my new drug, Oh

Hush my mouth
I like the overpower
Feeling blay
You light my fire

Oh craving your flesh
Oh watch me undress

I'll tease you but I'll please you
Let's go through everything you know
Your taste 
Drives me crazy 

Lets get busy
You're my new drug

"a delicious combination of low-fi grunge, mixed with angsty alternative and pop rock" - wedistribute.org Mixtape #1

I'm an amateur songwriter/lyricist and bedroom musician from the UK.

This profile has all of my completed tracks, works in progress and various other random ideas that will probably never go anywhere but I like to keep around...

My main instruments are piano/keyboard and vocals, plus some occasional guitar when I can't find anyone else to play it for me!

I do a lot of online collaboration with other musicians (mainly through Bedroom Bands on Reddit), which is always fun - it's a great way of finishing songs of my own and I also sometimes contribute vocals and lyrics to other people's projects. I'm always open to new collaborations, so if you like what you hear here and fancy working on something together, let me know!

Stuff I've featured on: https://soundcloud.com/unbuiltboy/sets/featuring

Works in progress: https://soundcloud.com/unbuiltboy/sets/work-in-progress/s-stwZa

Current likes: Louis Cole, KNOWER, Cosmo Jarvis, Divorce, FIZZ

Influences: Eels, Mansun, Ben Folds/Ben Folds Five, Spacehog/Royston Langdon, Supergrass, The Divine Comedy, David Bowie, Radiohead, Weezer & Tenacious D

We now have a new band: Radio Moonglow. And we have an otherworldly new project in the works! Follow our progress and keep up with updates on instagram. 

Under our former name "Kahlil's Razor," our album "Parables and Patience" was released July 2020 and the vinyl copies quickly sold out. We'll be making a larger pressing for the new "Radio Moonglow" album, and can't wait to share it.
