Single out now: fsx.lnk.to/ttwig-world

"The World is but a Mystery" is the official debut single from ttwig – a new solo project from JUICEB☮X (the vocal half of Fresh Selects duo, Figmore). 

A veritable Swiss Army knife of talent – JUICEB☮X raps, sings, produces, and plays just about every instrument (even including the trumpet), and his prolific releases over the years have run the gamut of different styles – proudly dubbing his label for self-releases, "Ellen DeGenreless." 

And now, with his new ttwig moniker, taken from a song title on JUICEB☮X's 2021 'Overthin King' LP, he's purposefully honing in on a more specific sound – one rooted in the more psychedelic side of nostalgia, centered around more organic sounds and textures, and mostly focusing on his singing, songwriting and live instrumentation. 

A proper full-length ttwig LP is still to come – stay tuned for more...

Single out now everywhere: fsxrs.lnk.to/sotj-telemakus

The 6th installment in the Fresh Selects Remix Series, and the second entry to come from Sons Of The James – the 2020 duo project by singer Rob Milton & musician/producer DJ Harrison. 

Here, the boisterously bass-heavy album cut “I Want More” gets a high-energy revamp from prodigious jazz pianist/producer, Telemakus — led with a flurry of interweaving piano keys, Rhodes & synth melodies, all fueled and emboldened by the explosively kinetic drumming of David James.

Keeping things moving after a steady string of new songs over the last few months, Chicago multi-talent Lane Beckstrom now adds on to his repertoire a song that shines on the sunnier side of melancholy, with enough different layers and changes within it to match any forecast.

Lyrics:

I’m not afraid of trying to live under the rain
How could I ever be simile?
Do you compare everything?

And life won’t go by too fast,
if i don’t think like a Ferrari 
And, now and then, it will rain
Raining in L.A., in L.A.…

I’m not afraid of trying to live under the rain

Truth be told, in my mind, that is gold
Money can’t buy what is dear, what I hold
I am alone when I’m walking in the canyon
Oooh…

Walk the world like it’s all in Ohio
Money blindfolds 
Build a square into solar systems where
money can’t stare, but we know it’s there

Summer nights, come and go
Either way, I’m gonna know what is true

Now and then, it will rain
Raining in L.A., in L.A.…
Now and then, it will rain
Raining in L.A., in L.A.…

Truth be told, in my mind, that is gold
Money can’t buy what is dear, what I hold
I am alone when I’m walking in the canyon
with money companions 

Truth be told, in my mind, that is gold
Money can’t buy what is dear, what I hold
I am alone when I’m walking in the canyon
with money companions

Pre-order Lane Beckstrom 'Looking Out' – releasing Sept. 29th: fsx.lnk.to/looking-out

At one point serving as the working title track to the album – "Daisies" is now batting clean-up on the roll-out towards Chicago multi-talent Lane Beckstrom's upcoming debut LP.  Fittingly, it also wound up being the closer song on the tracklist – a swirling summary of some of the varying styles and moods expressed throughout.

Lyrics:

"I Think"
Written by Lane Beckstrom

Thrown away like sand 
in an hourglass that has no past
Soldiers run like water does
in singular gardens all across the globe 

We could see and think
like iPods sync, but
thinking up takes luck,
when the sound you hear 
goes down, down, down

I think therefore I am just like everyone,
Under sun, under moonlight
It might be right, when feelings can go so low then they rise 
in a balloon size coffin

All aboard the train of thought,
We will ride away until the valley stops
Look ahead, I never said, 
It would ever be easy to caress my mind

I think therefore I am just like everyone,
Under sun, under moonlight
It might be right, when feelings can go so low then they rise 
in a balloon size coffin

Maybe we can think about something that won’t make us sad...

I think therefore I am just like everyone,
Under sun, under moonlight
It might be right, when feelings can go so low then they rise 
in a balloon size coffin

Lane Beckstrom "I Think"
