What Do You Stand For

https://ffm.to/party-dress

I’ve started singing out 
New York didn’t feel so loud 
This time, the autumn paints the sky 
Moved into an empty home 
To fill with the love I’m owed
This time, there’s roses in the road 
 
But sometimes I get caught out 
Wondering where you are now 
And sometimes when I slow down 
I wonder who you are now 
 
I’m doing my best to love 
God know that I’ve tried to forgive 
But time has timing of its own 
So I put on a party dress 
To get over the words you said 
To keep me in chains I’ve learned to break 
 
But sometimes I get caught out 
Wondering where you are now 
And sometimes when I slow down 
I wonder who you are now 
 
My head is willing to lie to me
Colours in my memory
Whenever I get lonely 
But now I’m childish like I should be
Colours that I now see
I’ll keep them close around me 
I’m childish like I should be

Party Dress

Durham-based indie punks Fortitude Valley are delighted to announce that they have signed to Fika Recordings and will release their self-titled debut album on 3rd September 2021.

To celebrate the news, the band have revealed a video for their new single ‘Cassini’, which is released on 6th June 2021.   The follow-up to their 2019 debut single ‘Wreck’, new track ‘Cassini’ is a scorching 2 and a half minutes of slacker-rock and power-pop, recalling the eponymous satellite’s lonely final days and fiery self-sacrifice.   NASA’s Cassini–Huygens was launched on October 15, 1997. It took 7 years to get to Saturn, which it began orbiting in 2004, and where it remained until its end in 2017. Staying in orbit meant that it risked one day colliding one of Saturn’s moons, namely Titan and Enceladus (which researchers believe have the potential to harbour life), and contaminating them with Earth microbes.   Cassini Project Scientist, Linder Spilker, described the end of Cassini’s mission as “like losing a friend”, something that Fortitude Valley’s vocalist and songwriter Laura Kovic can clearly empathise with, as she elaborates: “In September 2017, National Geographic published the article ‘How NASA's Cassini Spacecraft Met Its Fiery End’. I thought it was so heart-breaking that this spacecraft that NASA had been following for almost 20 years had to be destroyed.”   “In the song, I’ve anthropomorphised the spacecraft and personalised the story a bit, so it’s just between me and Cassini. Cassini is venturing out on a long, lonely journey that will inevitably end in its destruction just so I can see what it’s ‘like out there’. And even though I know how it’s going to end, it doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye.”

Fortitude Valley is the new outlet for the songwriting talents of Durham-based Brisbanite Laura Kovic. Having spent the majority of her musical career playing keyboards in other people’s bands, bringing their songs to life with a melodic flourish, it was about time for Kovic to find an outlet for her songs: awkward power-pop that’s bound to appeal to fans of The Beths, Weezer or The Pixies.   She assembled quite the band, too, teaming up with Martha’s Daniel Ellis (lead guitar) and Nathan Stephens Griffin (drums), and Night Flowers’ Greg Ullyart on bass.

The quartet take their name from Brisbane suburb Fortitude Valley—or just “The Valley” if you’re from Brisbane—the heart of the city’s music scene, and also where Kovic first started playing in bands, before moving to the UK in 2010.   “It was a place that objectively felt mythical, a suburb with a special meaning, looking back from the other side of the world and many years later,” she reflects. Completing the circle, Fortitude Valley is also named-checked in the Martha song ‘Brutalism by the River (Arrhythmia)’.

The band will be revealing further details of the album, live dates, and new music over the coming months.

 Fortitude Valley’s debut self-titled album is released 3rd September 2021.

Cassini

Fortitude Valley - Cassini

You might hear hints of great British one-offs like Tricky, Roots Manuva, even a more laid-back Dizzee Rascal as grime, trip hop & jazz intermingle in Rarelyalways sound which is further evident on the new single and forthcoming EP produced by Hanni El Khatib.  

Putting this song together was one of the most challenging moments I’ve had as an artist, less was definitely more. Despite all of the self-assessment it presented itself as a single.  If there was a word to best describe this number I would say its ‘unapologetic.’

Lyrics:
I know you’re spending her time in the bed that we made
The one we spent hours of arguments down on the floor
She’s probably sleeping so well on the side where I laid
Thinking she got the man she was looking for

Did what i could with the things i could find
Bet she thinks you are so loving and kind
She doesn’t know that you’re my design

I hope she's loves the man I made of you
Hope it works out the way I wanted too
If I’m just a lesson you learnt
And If I’m the mistake that you hurt
I hope she's loves the man I made of you

I know she’s wearing your t-shirt that I really liked
While you confess all your love to her under the sheets
Hurts to think of it but that’s always were we would fight
Did I give my all for you just to leave?

I tried my best
Did what i could with the things i could find
Bet she thinks you are so loving and kind
She doesn’t know That you’

I hope she's loves the man I made of you
Hope it works out the way I wanted too
If I’m just a lesson you learnt
And If I’m the mistake that you hurt
I hope she's loves the man I made of you

BETTER DAYS (Lyrics)

Fields of lavender
Honey straight from the farm
That’s the smell and taste
Of summer
Bringing back memories
Skinny dipping
And campfires keeping us warm
Keeping me up
All night long

Blue notes pouring out of me lately
I know better days will come along
I’m alone
With the memories
Of better days
That are gone
And I wonder
Can take it all with a smile?

Fields of lavender
Heaven right in my arms
Good love will take you
Higher
I can’t run away
From the heartache and the pain
When yesterday calls
But I can love the right way
Everyday

Blue notes pouring out of me lately
I know better days will come along
I’m alone
With the memories
Of better days
That are gone
And I wonder
Can take it all with a smile?

Ow
Hit me
Better days come along
You know they come along with love

Blue notes pouring out of me lately
I know better days will come along
I’m alone
With the memories
Of better days
That are gone
And I wonder
Can take it all with a smile?

Better days come along
You know they come along with love
