Lyrics:

Bad blood 
Stains the map 
The old town pub and the morning lap 
This rotten love I've been trying to clean 
I'm not a slave but neither am I free 

Bad blood 
Beneath the nail 
Clawed your way up cut the ties and set sail 
I'll need you once you promise to need me 
I'm not a slave but neither am I free 

Bad blood 
It's just the year 
I'm sure in time we'll get the poison clear 
And then we'll be all we were made to be 
A perfect time where everybody's free 

My burning tongue 
Will spitfire me back to where we begun 
Though you may be Gulliver I'm still young 
And I've hidden my armies beneath the Earth 
When heat hits their neurons we'll see new birth 
And all ugly things will get their beauties worth 
And live without fear of 

Bad blood 
Bad blood 

Howl your complaints at the night 
Let them fill up my mind I'll get them out on time 
And always humbling 
But somewhere layered down sublime 
And always humbling 
And always humbling 



Bad blood 
It's just the year 
I'm sure in time we'll get the poison clear 
And then we'll be all we were made to be 
A perfect time where everybody's free 

Bad blood 
It's just the year 
I'm sure in time we'll get the poison clear 
And then we'll be all we were made to be 
A perfect time where everybody's - 

My burning tongue 
Will spitfire me back to where we begun 
Though you may be Gulliver I'm still young 
And I've hidden my armies beneath the Earth 
When heat hits their neurons we'll see new birth 
And all ugly things will get their beauties worth 
And live without fear of 

Bad Blood

In search of new sounds and new inspiration, I found these kick-ass women who in their own individual ways are true pioneers in the writing, production and creation of MUSIC. They have inspired me, and I hope they inspire you too.

Starting out as an accompanying band to lead singer Matt Wright’s solo song-writing, King Compass formed after the group met at university, drawn to each other’s creative innovation. With the strongest influences being between soul and folk, the group’s mesh of playing styles work together to create a unique and hypnotic sound. After a year of gigging, the group begun work on their first release – the EP ‘Contours.’ Fellow university student James Ratcliffe took to producing the EP, and, after exciting contributions to instrumentation & ideas, became a full member of the band.

Now in their second year of performing together, the band’s soulful and ‘dreamy’ sound has developed to become more polished and striking, with tracks such as ‘Frozen Ocean’ being driven by ethereal vocals at the start, then ending in a wall-of-sound crescendo, hinting towards influences such as Bon Iver. ‘Bad Blood’ builds an ambient soundscape with choral harmonies and picked guitar, backseat-driven by synth bass and e-bow swoops. 'There's A Place' is the most ethereal of the three; with it's soundscape - like form, it almost acts as a theme song for the King Compass universe. The EP is surrounded by concepts of adventure, with intricate lyrics contemplating day-to-day life in vibrant poetic imagery. The cover & title are inspired by the idea that everyone has a world of information and beauty inside them, making them their own landscape.

The EP launch party took place on 11th Feb in the venue Lumiere. The event sold out, and was the first chance to demonstrate the evolution of the band's sound.

Having built up interest in the London scene, King Compass hope to further extend their audience with more equally exciting events throughout the year, with the EP being their first release to date.

Inspirations: Bon Iver, Lianne La Havas, Radiohead, Haitus Kaiyote
