Reverie Neverending

The Tin Man

"From the stimulating intro on you’ll tap your feet, without even noticing it. This is the wake-up-call I want to hear when I can’t get out of my bed in the morning. You simply can’t resist this shot of adrenaline. This is what elevating pop is all about. Vitalizing, energizing, and galvanizing. In a normal world, this should be a global hit. Oh yeah, I feel quite euphoric and, trust me, you’ll have your heart beat as fast as mine after just one spin. Hopefully, we can all come out of the lockdown shadows pretty soon."

Out of the Shadows

Going Away

"Brooklyn's Russian Baths released their debut album back in 2019. A year later, they've returned to album standout "Responder" for an entirely new "Night" version of the song. Where the original is a dark, driving rock song, the new take is haunted, twinkling like the midnight sky, with skittering drums, melancholy piano and an open road's worth of atmosphere." ~ BrooklynVegan

Striving to control others (emotions, desire, behaviors) corrupts. This seems like a chronic symptom of the worst in masculinity.

A responder talks back, but does it listen? Not equipped with the tools to be vulnerable, one voice denies reality, refuses to connect, exerts more control, idolizing restraint ("the way I held every face card") and admonishing its counterpart ("you way you scolded me"). With denial (to self and other), all's bound to collapse. Both know it will happen. Neither wants it.

I guess it's also an exploration of the big 80s breakup love ballads of the Patty Smyth featuring Don Henley variation, but the dark sexual politics of the heartbreak are more explicit. This is the night version.

I was listening to a lot of the xx and Sinead O'Connor when we wrote it and when re-recording it, I was listening to PJ Harvey almost exclusively. I wonder if this bleeds into the atmosphere.

Russian Baths - "Responder (Night)"

Cosmopolis

The meaning behind this song is something I've chosen to remain a mystery. Being a music artist in 2021, we’re encouraged to share every little detail about our lives with our audience. While this has opened up many opportunities for artists to have unique and personal interactions with fans - something which we encourage and take full advantage of in Crystal Cities - there are some things that perhaps should be kept to ourselves in order to set boundaries and protect and respect the privacy of other people... In this instance, I want the context of this song to be left up to the listener’s own interpretation.

Jenny, How Were We to Know?

Jenny, How Were We To Know?

"Stationary Life" by Palma Louca

Lyrics:
Who are we? 
In this stationary life
Collide, divide, decide who you are
Blue screen beams 
Another sleepless night 
Surprise surprise
Defy who you are 

All we want to today is anything that'll take our minds away
If you don't live now then you won't live forever 
Moving through the open space, we hope and pray, we'll find something to say
If you don't live now then you won't live forever

I hope you know, it's going to start to fall apart, like pieces, of paper, in the rain
Oh, when it's over, and you wake up at the start
Do you fear it?
Can you feel it?
In the flames 

Green screen dreams
And a silicone wife
You try and try to hide who you are 
Smoke screen screams
On the eve of the fight 
The lies the lies 
Define who you are 


All we want to today is anything that'll take our minds away
If you don't live now then won't live forever 
Moving through the open space, we hope and pray, we'll find something to say
If you don't live now then you won't live forever

I hope you know, it's going to start to fall apart, like pieces, of paper, in the rain.
Oh, when it's over, and you wake up at the start
Do you fear it?
Can you feel it? 
In the flames
