Swimming

(written by PUREST produced by Gethin Pearson) Officially released on the 31st of March via Gold Tooth records.

I can't sleep, but i need rest 
Forget the things i should of said
Don't ask the truth, if we can't forget
Ignore the things i should of said... 

I'm not sick, but i'm not well 
Let's waste our time we might as well

A heart shaped hole, a broken chest 
Let me down so that i can catch my breath 

Did you come around just to ruin my night
Your not wrong, but i'm always right

It's what i said, but i don't agree
When you tell me something i thinks naive 
I'm out of touch to know what's real
To stubborn to love, to weak to feel

Your not wrong but i'm always right.

Where We Are

Don't Wanna Love You

Dont Wanna Love You

You Make Sense

It's Always You

"Hurt Me Bad"

Listerine

and yet you miss the sea

Daybreak tends to creep up on you. Emerging from starry darkness, the sun wobbles at first but proceeds on its scheduled arc. You can’t help but wonder if it ever looks back in disbelief, or regret.  This feeling of self-reflection—of looking back to see how far you’ve come—is precisely the sentiment of Thawing Dawn, the first solo record from A. Savage, released on Dull Tools.

The songs on Thawing Dawn form a guided tour through the romantic environs of A. Savage’s mirrored mind. While some were written recently, other tunes were penned over the past decade. For one reason or another, these compositions didn’t land with any of Savage’s other groups, and instead are presented now as a distinct collection. Reflecting back, Savage says, “Once I realized I had a small body of work that didn’t fit anywhere else, I started to examine the commonalities: What’s the common denominator of all this and how I can expand on it?”

Savage is best known as the frontman for Parquet Court, a duty split with fellow Texan Austin Brown. Their last record, Human Performance, delved into the emotional wreckage of a broken heart, to critical acclaim.  But with Thawing Dawn, it’s clear that Savage has matured. While assembling the record, he fell in love. Now, for the first time, we hear songs about being on the inside of love. Rather than lamenting the end of a relationship, we hear a voice trying, in the moment, to make sense of love’s mysteries. “Part of this maturity,” he says, “is reflecting on something when it’s happening, not just when it’s gone.” 

Thawing Dawn gives us honesty: We see the artist at home in bed, more singer-songwriter portrait than esoteric statement. Throughout his discography Savage has long abbreviated his first name as a kind of writerly gesture. He says, of the move, “I am an uncivilized member of modern civilization--I’m just a savage.” Like Duchamp’s R. Mutt signature on a urinal, the shortening embodies a mischievous directness, enabling this savage to introduce his slanted honesty into the universe.

“I always like it when records are good representations of communities,” Savage says, and this one succeeds in this regard. These ten songs were recorded between December 2016 and June 2017 by a cast of friends in Jarvis Taveniere’s Thump Studios in Brooklyn. Members of Woods, Ultimate Painting, PC Worship, EZTV, and Psychic TV all lend their talents.  Savage’s voice, once shouted into mosh pits, now glides confidently above its backing band. Thawing Dawn marks the arrival point for Savage as a sensitive and skilled vocalist.  A strain of rural inquiry tinges the soundscape, an ongoing trope in Savage’s writing most powerfully felt on Parkay Quart’s ballad “Uncast Shadow of a Southern Myth.” On this record it is stronger, with a healthy helping of pedal steel guitar, a chorus of female back-up vocals, four familiar chords, and maybe the truth, all layered throughout these songs. Their titles also steer us this way, but don’t fully convey the hidden intricacies. “Buffalo Calf Road Woman” opens the record in a burst of C&W energy.  The staccato pop piano of “Eyeballs” lays crisply beneath a refrain of heartbreak. “Wild Wild Horses” finds him confessing inside a Talk Talk bubble of guitar static and organ. The build-up of “What Do I Do” yields a guitar freak out that Parquet Courts fans will recognize. You could two-step to the swing of “Phantom Limbo.” “Ladies from Houston” is a Leonard Cohen-like ramble through a party scene. Finally, the title track is a suite of three interwoven songs that closes the record in a beautifully cinematic style. 

Throughout, A. Savage delivers one-off lines of razor-sharp observation that will stick in your brain, only to surface when you’re least prepared to handle their insights. When you put your copy of Thawing Dawn on your turntable and drop the needle, you’ll learn what A. Savage has to say about romance in our modern world. Keep your ears open--it’s worth hearing.

Shelter EP

Shelter

To be irregular 
Saint Elmo preaches strength in who you are 
And every kid you knew picked at your scars
Social butterflies that sting 

So home up on the hill
You drop the acid and you watch it spill
On and on, the pop songs come at will
Inside the toilet bowl you sing

So go to Zambia!
That's a name, a place you've heard before
Poster you could splash across your door
On a lip the joint burns through 
On a spit, you're turning too
Most nights alive, you sweat like Zambia 

So don’t they see you roll? 
Aren't the eyes a peep hole to the soul?
Don't you see that your late night shows?
Before you turn the tv on

You got a girlfriend too
Pretty deadly piece of skin to chew 
And you love her, or you think you do
You're sure you'll notice when she's gone

And now in Zambia! 
That's a name, a place you've heard before
No hesitating at the cockpit door
This is where you wanna be
Underneath acacia trees
The cradle rings, but you're in Zambia 

You may yet take a turn
Monday morning's still another world
But the weekend's built on words words words
Not a one of them will change

And if the sky and land
Melt together like a wedding band 
God himself could place it on your hand
And you would let it slip away

So now in Zambia!
You got Victoria to drench your heart!
Hope that any day your life might start!
Any roar may be the cue
Nausea's just a point of view
When you’ve got everything to lose
Is it different down in Zambia?

Zambia

This Means War

Taken from the album Human Good 

You can now order Human Good.
https://snippetcuts.bandcamp.com/album/human-good

With Human Good we find Johnno in a rich vein of form - rather than wallowing in the depressing Post Brexit, post Trump landscape Human Good strikes an optimistic tone as Johnno takes you on a journey of people rich stories from a wide array of characters – we hear of fraudsters, pimps, prostitutes, drinkers, users and abuser’s and simple everyday folk just trying to make sense of this world. 
Alongside love letters to England and Johnno’s home town of Colchester, Human Good is shot through with a sense of defiance and optimism that everything will work itself out and be alright in the end.

Melodic, passionate and full of sweet surprises - come and find out about Human Good.

Lyrics 
Humour’s bouncing round our brains, please don’t stop
The internet has filled us up, like an outsized gut
Keep our ears close to the ground, for when good is around
Everybody can get down until the beat comes back around

Come over to my place
We’ll put some records on
We’ll just dance under the sun

We won’t give up
We won’t back down
We have faith in human good

Go outside and turn the laptop off a while
Be with older people now
Tell the haters where to stick their nasty minds
It don’t cost nothing to be kind

When you’re laying it down
You can lick the dirt or wear the crown
Take the bull by the horns and live your life

We might play up
But we’re not mashed up
We believe in human good 

We won’t give up
We won’t back down
We have faith in human good

We might play up
But we’re not mashed up
We believe in human good 

People break up
And people make up
There’s always hope with human good

(C) Johnno Casson 2017

i hope you feel 
what i've been feeling lately
baby
i know you can see 
how i just wanna stay here
lay here
doubtful you know 
how bad i wanna show you
what i’m going through
but i don’t want to 
scare you i barely know you
i barely know you

my eyes are so damn tired but i don't
i don't want to leave yet
and your bed is so damn warm but i don't
i don't want to sleep yet

i just want to hold your body
as if i’d always known you
as if i’d always known you
but i can only hope this goes
however it’s supposed to
however it’s supposed to

so delicate this situation we’re in
we’re in
it’s been so good and i don’t want to ruin it
ruin it
but it’s getting harder to control myself around you
around you
and i've no idea how you feel about me
about me
about me 

your eyes are crazy when you’re working
and you can’t even see me
my heart is so damn loud i’m nervous
and i’m sure you can hear it

i just want to hold your body
as if i’d always known you
as if i’d always known you
but i can only hope this goes
however it’s supposed to
however it’s supposed to

‘Limb by Limb’ by Pembrokeshire-based duo Name’s is the follow up single to ‘Backs Turned’, a song that has already been included in BBC Introducing Wales list of songs of 2017. It was also described by ‘From the Margins’ as a “wintry soundscape with all the fluency, space and atmosphere of Mogwai’s Les Revenants soundtrack”. 
Where do you go after creating such an assured artistic statement with your debut single? ‘Limb by Limb’ is the answer. Names have shed any creative ego to create a raw, emotionally rich song devoid of self-indulgence and over reaching dramatization. Yet again Ioan and Joey have found beauty within the smouldering ashes left in the wake of life’s broken relationships. As Ioan explains, ‘Limb by Limb’ is “largely inspired by the ignorance of issues within a relationship which slowly bring about its demise. Also the effect of a background anxiety on life and ability to socialise.” 

‘Limb by Limb’ musically and lyrically perfectly depict the contrasting moments of clarity and internal isolation one feels holding on to a dying relationship. The sense of calm in the release, yet claustrophobic panic of the unknown. As with Talk Talk’s majestic ‘Spirit of Eden’, Names are quickly becoming masters of the intimate, unseen but deeply felt moments we share. Their music explodes on to a cinematic canvas full of flowing chords and echoey melodies.

Names - Limb By Limb

ANNA ST. LOUIS
FIRST SONGS
woodsist092 / mare002
release date: November 3, 2017

Despite her last name, Anna St. Louis was born and raised in Kansas City. She grew up a painter and singing in punk bands, eventually leaving her hometown to attend art school in Philadelphia. After graduating she made the move to Los Angeles where she began teaching herself guitar, writing songs and recording them on her own in her bedroom. First Songs is the sound of someone discovering their talent in real time - a peak into the collage of a wonderful mind that is absorbing their new surroundings and using new tools to put them into the room. Listening to this collection you can feel the sun coming in through the window - Anna on the foot of the bed with a guitar on her knee, finding her voice. St. Louis wears her influences well - think Patsy Cline singing over John Fahey - but has a style all her own. And while you can take the artist out of the midwest, you can't take the midwest out of the artist - so let this be known; this is Midwestern music ran through a California filter. I believe Anna will have many more releases in her lifetime, but let it all begin here - First Songs.

ANNA ST. LOUIS - Fire (Mare Records)

Taken from the album 'Passover' due 19/01/2018 via AGWNN/Forged Artifacts.

4th single of the upcoming EP around.away set to be released on the 20th of october. Thanks Iona for your beautiful voice.

" I feel your face beneath the water
I can see you bloom, don't know if it's true
Eyes closed the light is brighter
The sun is getting through
And everything is new
Should I stand up on my feet to keep you breathing ?
Lay down on your smile and keep myself dreaming ?
would you help me to stay down ?

I've been here in a dark place
and light was everywhere
here, dust doesn't hold to things
and you stand here, bright like a flare
And as we know we've never been here
we should dive into it with no fear.

Dyma'r pethau rydym yn eu caru: pandas, hufen ia peanut butter, finyl o bob math, cymunedau agored, cefnogory, cynhwysol, gin (rhata'i gyd gorau gyd!), popeth Cymreig, ein hartistiaid ysbrydoledig neu unrhyw un sy'n barod i wneud y byd yn fwy prydferth yn gerddorol. Pedalau corws ... fel petai'n 1985!  Mae gennym ffydd ddiysgog ym mhŵer y gân bop tair munud sy'n gallu newid bywydau!

Wedi gwario dros ddau ddegawd yn archwilio cerddoriaeth o bob math, Fuzz Pop, Bedsit indie, Canu Gwlad, Synth Pop, Gwerin Seicodelig, Ol Pync (ie rwyn dipyn o bioden gerddorol!!) a ffurfio ysbryd cerddorol annibynnol, unigolyddol a rhyddfrydol. Fe ddes i sylweddoli nad y llwyfan oedd f'amgylchedd naturiol ond yn hytrach cynorthwyo artistiaid ifanc, a'u codi i amlygrwydd gan eu galluogi i gyflawni eu breuddwydion cerddorol unigol. Daeth y foment 'Eureka' pan glywais yr artistiaid (i gyd o fewn ychydig wythnosau a'm syfrdanodd) sydd nawr yn galw Libertino yn gartref creadigol iddynt eu hunain .Roedd yn RHAID i'r artistiad yma gael eu clywed gan weddill y byd as roedd yn RHAID i mi weithio gyda nhw. Roedd yn un o'r munudau prin hynny mewn bywyd lle mae'r artistiad, eu cerddoriaeth a'u hestheteg yn cyd-blethu i ffurfio cyfanwaith perffaith i'r gwrandawr. Dyma'r munudau prin hynny dwi'n dymuno'u potelu i bawb sy'n gwrando ar artistiaid Libertino; mae pob cân a ryddheir yn arbennig ac yn ddeiamwnt prin yn y tywyllwch.
Credaf yn gryf y dylsai celfyddyd fod yn gynhwysol gan greu cymuned o'r pridd dan ein traed. Bwriad Libertino yw cynnig llwyfan iddynt er mwyn i'r artistiais hefan yn llwyddiannus, Dewch, ymunwch â ni ar y siwrnai cerddorol hon i'r gorwel agored. Gruff Owen - Libertino

We love in no particular order: Pandas, peanut butter ice cream, all things vinyl, supportive open embrasive communities, gin (cheaper the better!), popeth Cymreig, our very inspiring Artists or anyone who puts themselves out there to make this world a more sonically beautiful  place, Chorus pedals, you know...like it's 1985! They are back in right?! And an unwavering faith in the life changing power of the 3-minute pop song! 
 
'After spending over two decades exploring music from diverse extremes; Fuzz Pop, Bedsit Indie, Country, Synth Pop, Psych Folk, Post Punk (yes bit of a musical magpie here!!!) and honing an individual, independent free musical spirit, I realised that my natural environment was not the stage but rather helping young artists, lifting them up to the limelight, enabling them to achieve their individual musical visions. The "Eureka" moment was hearing the artists (all in the space of a few gloriously head-spinning weeks) who now call Libertino their creative home. These artists NEEDED to be heard by the rest of the world and I NEEDED to work with them. It was one of those rare moments you have in life where the artists, their music and their aesthetic all coalesced into one perfect form for the listener. It's these rare moments that I wish to capture and bottle for everyone listening to a Libertino artist, every release is special, a rare diamond in the dark. 
I strongly believe that art should be inclusive and not exclusive creating a community from grass roots level. Libertino's aim is to give artists a platform from which to fly and how to fly successfully. Come join us on this musical journey to the open horizon. Gruff Owen - Libertino'
