Welcome to Eckhardt And The House 2018: New Year, New Sound.

Over the last years, Eckhardt And The House treated the listener to eight singles and an album release full of laid-back, easy listening, trendy nerdy and surprisingly accessible hipster sounds. Now it's time for something new. A new logo, a different style of artwork and most of all, a change of sound. But all that with keeping the existing Eckhardt And The House fan in mind.

Eckhardt And The House has developed towards a more uptempo and danceable indie sound but certainly didn’t lose any charm. The band has been taking elements from pop to avant-garde to funk and twisted it all up into a signature sound with wild experimentation and disregard for the norm. First single If You Cannot Talk is a fine example, a tale of a young girl on a long distance bus ride set to music which reminds us of Talking Heads glory days on the one hand and nowadays Modest Mouse on the other.

All previous Eckhardt And The House singles did very well on Dutch radio and were played for months on national, regional and local stations. They also got airplay on national radiostations in Belgium, Switzerland, Italy plus regional and local stations in Germany and France. Press coverage rolled in from Denmark to Japan and from the United States to Australia. Several singles reached iTunes- and Spotify Viral Charts in The Netherlands, Italy, France and Turkey, on Spotify the total number of Eckhardt And The House plays is well over 1.2 million.  

Eckhardt And The House is the project by producer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, dramatist and actor Rik Elstgeest. Rik is known from his previous bands Kopna Kopna and Alamo Race Track, as well as being composer and producer for Zazi. Together with Gerry Arling (of Arling & Cameron fame) and Bo Koek he is the core of Dutch electropop surprise Mass Electric.

Release date: 23 February 2018

If She Cannot Talk - lyrics

she was only fifteen
and she never said much

fifty bucks to cross
this land by bus

she's staring at her ticket
staring at her shoes

she's going the distance 
she's going on a cruise 

Refr:
if she cannot talk 
there's still a song
if she cannot talk
Little things go wrong

chewing on bubblegum 
waiting for the bus to leave

when the road is stroked by wheels
she already fell asleep

a guy with a pierced nose 
nicked her telephone 

she's going long distance
but she can not call

Refr:
if she cannot talk
there's still a song
if she cannot talk
Little things go wrong

on iTunes & Spotify

Eckhardt And The House - If You Cannot Talk

Produced by Adam Pardey
Mixed by Hugo Meredith-Hardy

Lick your lips, you can taste
All the wasted embraces coming back but wait
There's a flavour I'd forgotten

There's a twist
All the sycophantic little shits
Getting dizzy dancing round a pit in a misty cemetery

Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day
Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day

Have a seat
Kettle's on
Put your feet up
Take a gun
And I'll be back to clean you up with a sunny disposition

Take offense at the notion of a truth that you can't spin into something that can prove all your predetermined fictions

Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day
Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day
Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say

Keep your stories short and your silence loud
So they don't find out
That you don't have a clue

Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day
Don't mind me, I've got nothing to say
Just a rusty time piece not even right two times a day

Lick Your Lips

It’s funny how all the demos we’ve accumulated can change over time ... Sometimes the early versions & rough mixes that stick out the most now didn’t when we were making them, as is the case with ‘Habits’. 

We originally bounced this mix when we were still working on overdubs, but then we lost the project file after Chris spilled a bunch of coffee on his laptop.  We rediscovered this version while sifting through demos one night at our house a couple months later.

If we could reopen that file, I’m sure we’d find some shitty preset sounds, a guitar amp simulator on the vocal track, and tons of crude, approximate EQ and compression.   If we still had the Logic file, we'd probably want to change and rerecord a bunch of stuff.  In a way we’re thankful that this particular track is frozen in time, because if we had a chance to dive back into it, I’m not sure we’d be able to get into the right headspace to improve on it.  

After the coffee spill we started backing up all our files to de cloud, and we'll probably continue to exhaustively revise our current projects, but just this once it’s kinda nice to release something we never got the chance to split hairs over. 

“Habits" is the first song we’ve released where Chris (keyboard + guitar) sings lead vocals.  It's the first song off Loosies, a collection of demo versions & B-sides from the sessions for the Baby Blue Suede EP that came out last year.  Loosies is out 2/16, along with a deluxe cassette from Invertebrate Music.

Lyrics
Golden wings upon my feet,
On clouds I dance.
Orange sky and deep blue sea,
In the palm of my hand.

Golden child with your wild bright eyes,
A scroll of poems in your hand.
Fingertips that can paint the sky.
The desert floods at your command.

Duh nu, duh nu, duh
Duh nu, duh nu, duh
Duh nu, duh nu, duh
Duh nu, duh nu, duh

Golden wings upon my feet,
On clouds I dance.
Orange sky and deep blue sea,
In the palm of my hand.

Conjure up a thing so sweet,
And make it last.
Angels greet you when you sleep,
Divine romance.

So unfazed,
By the world’s disguise.
Thinking of a master plan,
Sing for love and it multiplies.
Hathor smiles on the divan.

Duh nu, duh nu, duh
Duh nu, duh nu, duh
Duh nu, duh nu, duh
Duh nu, duh nu, duh

||: Golden Wings upon my feet,
On clouds I dance.
Orange sky and deep blue sea,
In the palm of my hand.

Conjure up a thing so sweet,
And make it last.
Angels greet you when you sleep,
Divine romance. :||

||: Duh, nu nu
Duh, nu nu nu
Duh nu nu
Duh duh duh, duh nu nu :||

Golden Wings

Dream Reader is the second single from FRANKIIE's forthcoming debut album.

Music is written and performed by FRANKIIE
Produced by Jason Corbett at Jacknife Sound

Dreamt that I was blind
Fell deep into the tide
Drowned in the night with my guitar
Back upon the shore
I’d left my old white horse
Without me, she broke her back and died
Dream Reader
Please rescue me
I’m a believer
I’m just lost at sea
One night I could fly
Straight ‘cross the English sky
Sweetly surprised that I knew how
And that little girl
Asked me please rule the world
How could I ever let her down
Dream Reader
Please rescue me
I’m a believer
I’m just lost at sea
Oooo
Oooo
Dream Reader
Please rescue me
I’m a believer
I’m just lost at sea

FENG SUAVE - VENUS FLYTRAP
Stream/Download: https://lnk.to/fengsuave
Tour Dates/Social Media/Merch: http://fengsuave.com

LYRICS:
Lyin' awake all weekend
Like a bug stuck in a Venus Flytrap
Am I supposed to hold out, darling?
We don't have forever
(I'm just a bug)
I'm just a bug and I'm yours to slowly digest

To her I came just to lay and rest my head
Her firm embrace, it would make my final bed
Mother nature takes no prisoners
But I'll never leave these living walls

You got me seduced in fluent haiku
I'll be abused if that means I can lie beside you
Where I'll dissolve
Into the colours on the forest floor,
Where far above,
The butterflies flutter by but I won't
Buzz along

To her I came just to lay and rest my head
Her firm embrace, it would take my final breath
But mother nature decides
That's why
She'll always rule and you'll abide it
That's what I did too

Just lie to die
I'm in love
