Then, I Will Love You Again

From the Little Tornados LP 'We Are Devine'.

Manifest (Little Tornados)

Yesterday I played a wedding in beautiful Jukkasjärvi, in the very north of Sweden. The couple getting married were two australians, Erin and Alisdair. I’d never met them before but Alisdair wrote and asked if I wanted to sing for them and he seemed sweet so I said yes. And since I was going to sing for them and had to write a song this week I figured why not make the song for them. 

Postcard # 3

"When I Was Your Age" is the first single to be taken from "Hide and Seek", the debut album from Mammoth Penguins, the new band fronted by Emma Kupa (formerly of Standard Fare). The song is gloriously messy and loud, about feeling inadequate about one’s achievements. As Emma explains, "It started off with a birthday card from my granddad saying that he was married with kids at 28 and then I started thinking about what my parents, grandparents and family members had achieved by the time they were my age".

"Hide and Seek" is the debut album from Mammoth Penguins, the new band fronted by Emma Kupa, formerly of BBC 6 Music favourites Standard Fare. Due out on 6 July via Fortuna POP!, the album is an exhilarating collection of indie anthems, with Emma's candid songwriting and heartfelt vocals at the fore. Chugging away like the greatest Weezer record you’ve never heard, the songs are bold, loud and outrageously catchy, with lyrics that hit just the right chord, exploring the burgeoning responsibilities of being in your late 20s/early 30s.

LYRICS
They're building towers that are high enough to see the clouds 
But it don't bother me 
The elevators working overtime up and down 
Yet it don't bother me 

Cos I need something more than everything 
A higher self deep within 
Cos I need something more than everything 
A higher self, a higher self

And I know we need a little heart hope 
I know we've gotta outgrow and feel a little heart hope

They're building aeroplanes faster than the speed of light 
Yet it don't bother me 
The endless cities multiplying oceansize 
Yet it don't bother me 

Cos I need something more than everything 
A higher self deep within 
Cos I need something more than everything 
A higher self, a higher self

And I know we need a little heart hope 
I know we've gotta outgrow and feel a little heart hope 
Cos there is something more than everything 
So feel the love and let it in
Cos I know we need a little heart hope 

Heart Hope

LYRICS: 

To begin or to remain 
All the questions of the day 
We are just beginning 
There's a smile in your eyes 
What will we find? 

Turn it all around 
Flip that frown upside down 
Let it beat like a drum 
Oh be good and be young. 

Oh we're to save the day 
We are gone and on our way 
Light it up and let us go 
To the stars and to the moon 
Start it up we'll be there soon 

Turn it all around 
Flip that frown upside down 
Let it beat like a drum 
Oh be good and be young. 

Behind those eyes
Behind those lies 

Turn it all around 
Flip that frown upside down 
Let it beat like a drum 
Oh be good and be young.

Be Good

Ryan Sheckler asked me to write him an anthem to skate to, this is what I came up with.

Pyramids

The advice from the wise will change my vision

Carry out whats in my heart with precision 

They break you down with sticks and stones

You build your pyramids with flesh and bone

First time through it I felt the resistance

Second time around they can hold me down, like the water always finds a crack I'll burn every bridge and I wont look back

I move mountains I cross deserts ancient kings fields of energy

Weigh no risk taking it future find out how far one can do

Refuse to exist in the grey twilight that knows not victory or defeat 

Turn my failures inside out

Irreplaceable the spark that starts that starts the fire

Blur the line sacrifice desire

You want the sword without the stone

Build an empire surrounded and alone

Gaining strength in the eye of the storm

Remaining clam with perfect form

I climb I cross rivers

Smiling in the face of my enemies

Nature of the risk I'm taking

Push it till the point of breaking

Sometimes the only way out is deeper in I'll sink to swim

There is no light without the darkness

I'll use the diamonds to cut through glass

Separate the future, learning from the past

No puzzle in the pieces orchestrate a vision

Don't let confusion breed indecision

Unlock the mystery blind folded I can hear the sound

How lost will I become until I'm found

I stay focused I gain distance I'm stronger than you'd like me to be

Great devotion I cross oceans stand along conquered cities

The weakness of hate the strength of faith

What lies before what lies ahead

More important what lies within 

If they break you down with sticks and stones then build your pyramids with flesh and bone

If they break you down with sticks and stones then build your empire with flesh and bone

One listen to the bittersweet melodies and you can almost feel the wind blowing through your hair as your cruise down the California coast. In short, these tunes are a breath of fresh air. “Hiding in Plain Sight” swirls wistfulness with sophisticated optimism. - The Owl Mag

The charisma of Mick Jagger, the swagger of Greg Dulli and the songwriting chops of Julian Casablancas- Atomic Ned

Something about Krone’s disposition struck me instantly; a quiet confidence exuded from his calming, yet soulful croon. Not overly flamboyant in stage presence, typical of most front men, Krone’s innate ability to capture the crowd’s attention with little effort was intriguing. - Daily Titan

Down tempo, dreamscape style with reverb and distortion interplay- Paper Mag

He seems to have this, "new-wave pop for a new generation" on lock down. It won't be leaving anytime soon so everyone should crack open a cold one and enjoy this summer.- 1FTP (One For The People) 

This freshly released material is definitely a new musical direction for Krone and we are excited to share. - One Thirty BPM

Its a strong solo debut judging from the first three singles Driving Deloreans, a great rock pop song with a driving rhythm and catchy choruses, 1963 a more uptempo pop/dance track and Hiding In Plain Sight another catchy pop/rock track that has been featured in J. Crew commercials. - I Think You'll Like This Song

A solid "play through" album of addictive tunes that seem to come from such a genuine space. More musicians should adopt Kyle's intuitive attitude. - BL!SS Magazine 

“Hiding in Plain Sight,” “For Those Who Think Young,” and “1963” are like warms rays of sunshine smacking you across the face while cruising down the California coast. Doesn’t get much better than that folks. - The Owl Mag

oozing melodies over an electronic backdrop that could have sprung from the gear of New Order, Depeche Mode or Joy Division. - Buzz Bands LA

He’s the ultimate songbird. - Idol Radec 

Fault less - Fault Magazine
