Lyrics:

And if it's like that the whole time
If it's like that the whole time, we'll be alright
I stayed up all night, but it's alright
And if it's like that the whole time, we'll be alright
I stayed up all night, but it's alright
And I done stayed up the whole night, but it's alright

It's me and my nibblin' conscience
Nigga, I'm fixin' to give up
I been alone for the longest
It's trouble the way that we joggin'
Nothin' gon' save us or stop us
Me and my nibblin' conscience
Nigga, I'm fixin' to give up
I been alone for the longest

It's just me and my thoughts wit'
Nobody
I'm trapped in The Matrix, baskin' in fakeness; need to chat wit' some agents
Over wine glasses and steak and grasp an arrangement
I only cypher 'cause I want a way out
But I won't happen to make it
Blasted by a tank; it's war here
And I'm not The One
The forgotten son, so a dark night
I'm Bruce Wayne
Black sheep of The White family
Papa-abandoned
He wasn't there for me
Carelessly parenting, apparently
Man, it's deep
Sanity ran and flee like dog, shit is buggin' me
Ugly, so I hide my face
And hide away where my momma stay
I pray I die today
She wann' kick me out
I wann' find a place
But no means, so I just hibernate
Pack the bags under my eyes; I'm trippin'
Said goodbye to visions
I'm tired of this shit
Goonie bought a new whip
I ain't jealous of his car, but I envy his drive
I'm feelin' heavy inside
I'm unproductive, deterioratin', goin' stir-crazy
Some reluctance, fear, and impatience
First Lady is missin'
Way in the distance
Probably taken; a Mrs.
Or datin' a nigga
Heart vacant; she's smitten
See her face in them pictures
Fuck it, though
And fuck a hoe, if I can't fuck a hoe
Fuckin' hoe
I'm feelin' depressed
I'm feelin' the stress
I'm feelin' the weight
I'm feelin' regret
But it's back to the music
Though there's times when I wanna turn my back to the music
'Cause it's hassle to do it
I get passed and pursue it and stay focused
Even when you think no one see you, some take notice
Self-conscious
Physical and mental health problems
Bloggin', from the center of solace

It's me and my nibblin' conscience...

Learn To Fall

Less than a year has passed since Naomi Baguley spotted Ben Lewis wearing a Perfect Pussy t-shirt in a Leeds nightclub and they began trading song ideas through phone voice memos. A first batch of ramshackle demos recorded in Lewis’ bedroom soon led to a sold-out debut show at Leeds’ Oporto, before Bruising began hosting a series of cult house parties in Hyde Park living rooms with the likes of Waxahatchee, Twin Peaks and Trust Fund. Word soon got out, and praise started coming in from the most unlikely of places – Andrew W.K, for instance and, in true fairy-tale style, Perfect Pussy’s own Meredith Graves.

Off the back of two stand-out contributions to our own Vol. 3 and Art Is Hard’s Family Portrait Pt. II earlier this year, Bruising return with their debut single ‘Emo Friends’, with a re-recording of early demo ‘Honey’ making up the AA single. Now split between Berlin and Leeds as Baguley begins a year studying abroad, the band reconvened at Suburban Home Studios in Leeds to record the single with Hookworms’ MJ. 

‘Emo Friends’ deals with the pains of helplessly watching both your own and your friends’ lives falling apart, and all that you can do to combat it is to have fun with them. Infectious guitar melodies contrast with Baguley’s softly layered cries of “I want to feel okay” before the song climaxes, in Lewis’ tongue-firmly-in-cheek words, “like the big smoocher hit at the end of an American teen movie circa 1999”. ‘Honey’, on the other hand, is a re-recording of the first song the duo wrote together, transformed from bedroom demo to straight up pop-punk hit. Baguley and Lewis try and out-do each other throughout, with floating vocals and ever-more venomous guitar lines thrown back and forth.

‘Emo Friends’ / ‘Honey’ is released 20th November on 7” vinyl and digitally via Beech Coma. Pre-order the single and/or sign up to the Beech Coma Singles Club here - https://beechcoma.bandcamp.com/album/emo-friends-honey-single

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
I be fresh to death
You be dressed to get shitted on
She think that I'm mr right but I think I'm committed wrong
Girl look like Aaliyah but she one of million
Y'all keep it 100
I'm 1000 like a kilo ton
Just look at my daddy if you wanna know who I get it from
Just look at my mommy if you wanna know how I get it done
Yusuke Urameshi you are messing with my spirit gun
Just look at my feet if your concerned with how my city's run
Size, 9.5 on you ass
Keep a shoe box for the stash
Many more fish in the sea
Gotta keep a line for the bass
Y'all wait in line for the class
Me I just get it
I ain't in a hall with a pass
I just count money call it math
Don't fuck with you call it science
Fuck a bad bitch call it gym
Yeah we gon' run those laps
Yall go on a date 
But 1am is when she fuck with me
You be saving hoes
And yo squad look like the Justice League
I don't really fight but if you bucking then we knuckling
You a struggle rapper
You should rap more than you struggling 

Chorus:
I'm ambidextrous
I can make it work
I can use my right
I can use my fucking left
I don't need no fucking help
Now switch-it, switch-it
Yeah yeah

Bridge:
Now, Switch it (repeat)

Verse 2:
Yeah I got two hands so I can make it work
Call me captain yellow coat 
Put an ocean in her skirt
I'm a pirate because I get everything that I deserve
If I don't , I fucking take it like Winona Ryder's purse
Uh,
She think I be cheating cuz I get my Tom Brady on
Aside from all yo ass injections what do you got going on?
I don't want degrees
Gimme cheese yeah that provolone
You don't wanna fuck with me like I'm McColly home alone
Security better let my homies in
How I mop up y'all? 
Y'all custodians 
Keenan and Kel
Ah damn here we go again
This is not cat dog nickelodeon
Stop putting pussy on a podium
I mean you a pussy on my podium
Swim Team's not a gang a consortium
When I open up shop an Emporium
I don't fuck with basic niggas
They don't bleed but PMS
Okay I fucked some basic bitches
All they need is PBS
She having sex with me,
But I feel like she still be watching Sesame,
She moved my hand away and then she said to me...

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Henry C scratching]

Verse 3:
Who this nigga from Rhode Island
Come through and just kill the city you reside in
I don't gotta flex or resort to the violence
The ocean state great don't make me bring the tide in
This is not for the low low
This for the mo mo
Nigga pay me everything you owe owe
You a so so rapper,
I do it first and you do it after,
I did it on my own
Thinking I need you niggas
Now I just see the figures
Now I can see my ego
Might have to make it bigger
Might have crop the picture
Everybody photobombing
Where was you when I was eating all that ramen
Signing titties I don't need a co-signing
I let me remind em,
I'm ambidextrous

Sometimes it takes a few bumps to find the right direction; often it involves experience, guts and self-belief to trust yourself and venture from one to find another. The Milk are a band that believe with utter conviction that they've now found their way.

Fuelled by a rediscovery of the music and artists that originally inspired their formation, the four walls of their studio were ablaze with a soundtrack of Bill Withers, Isaac Hayes and the Isley Brothers throughout the songwriting process for their new album.

Eager to share their new songs, Deliver Me was released as a limited 7” single in November 2014 - finding its way onto the playlists of BBC 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne, Huey Morgan and Gilles Peterson - while The Milk’s dedicated fans packed out Tufnell Park’s The Dome for the band’s triumphant live return. The band unveiled their new songs in full for the first time to an intimate sold out show at Hackney’s Oslo in July.

The Bees' Paul Butler, who proved his production mastery with Michael Kiwanuka's Mercury Prize nominated debut, invited the band to record at Chale Abbey, a medieval barn on the Isle of Wight. Guided by Butler, the sessions captured the genuine version of The Milk - the sounds and honesty of soul.

The Milk play a headline UK tour this autumn.

Avery Sennin - Headcount*MUSIC VIDEO IN DESCRIPTION*

I wanted to tell you for so long. You´re so fucking perfect. I finally found the courage in a bottle… But my admiration and infatuation turned into envy and bitterness. I love you, and I hate you for not loving me back.

You´re Good But I´m Better is about the crush that went stale and toxic. About the bitter cocktail made up of sexual frustration, feeling invisible, lovesickness and alcohol.

Pre-Order LP

@aphixdj

Seasonally appropriate, Aphix’s debut for Montreal’s Infinite Machine pushes aside the brisk autumn air to reveal an eerie-yet-uncanny collection of four club-ready experiments, due out Halloween Eve. Ruby Grooves is an exercise in disemboweling modern Grime and Club, leaving their structure and palette laid bare within a haunting melodic cathedral, casting a subtle glance towards the likes of Logos, Clouds, Liar, Wen, Visionist and the ilk.

ED200 sets the pace with a tabla ricocheting under saturated organs & monk chorus as a broken club beat pulsates beside metallic growls. The title track, following suit, ethereally hovers over a mutated dembow before devolving into a pulse bass call-and-response.

Into Spheres resurrects the strings & drums of archetypical Grime, mildly detuned and broken, respectively, so as to unsettle, as a distant church bell reverberates indefinitely in the fog. A cliffhanger of an ending, the farewell Trick or Truth buries distorted pulses under decaying synths, slipping out of hand until it’s gone.

Release Date: October 30th
