Remember Minecraft Awesome Parodies? This was a genuine song he made a couple of years ago after the whole MCAP phase. It's pretty good imo. I was upset that no one had posted this to SoundCloud so I decided I'd do it myself! Also yeah it's Nagito on the thumbnail again cause I gave up on finding a better image.

Can't Help But Fall For You

Cant Help But Fall For You

Lonely Gimmick presents its Freakbeat Motown inspired new single “Grumpy Days”, an honest art piece about love and the early days of starting a life together with your significant other. 

 "Grumpy Days" hits you in the face almost immediately with a fast paced fuzzy but funky guitar line that is saturated in wah. The lead guitar comes in and out throughout the song creating a harmony that is reminiscent of one of Jimi Hendrix's funkier tracks. "Isabella" comes to mind. This Hendrix influenced guitar is especially noticeable during the solo (at the end of the song) which is something you definitely won't want to miss. While the lead guitar floats around, the drums, percussion and rhythm guitar hold the backing section down, driving an iconic Motown, slightly freakbeat groove. 

 An interesting fact to note, the drums and percussion were all recorded at "Crow’s Nest Studios" by the very accomplished Olly Betts (drummer of "The Duke Spirit") who also took the reins on mixing and mastering duties. The bass takes the middle ground between the two and keeps busy with grooves and fills that pull the listener in without being distracting or getting in the way of everything else that is sonically interesting.

 Above all this musical madness Max's vocals and lyrics get straight to the point with the opening line "You've put up with so much this year". A sentence we can all relate to after the last two years. He welcomes us into the ups and downs of his budding young relationship. Max is open with his message that not all is going smoothly, singing lyrics like "if you got rid of me, they'd all applaud" and the chorus's repeated line "I hate your grumpy days". However, this is followed by lyrics like "I found you girl" and "I didn't know I was looking for an answer and you were the one that I found" with the takeaway message being that they are together and that is all that matters.

 This is clearly not a straightforward love song like Rex Orange County's, “Loving is Easy" that implies love is all roses and sunshine. "Grumpy Days" makes the grounded point that love is hard and building a life with someone takes work, tolerance and patience. 

 During some musical sections, ad-libbed laughter and "woahs" are heard that feel like a throwback to classic 70s funk. This adds a playful and goofy vibe signaling that the companionship does in fact bring much happiness and purpose to their life. These ups and downs are conveyed perfectly by the vocal delivery going from smooth and soft to energetically hyper and almost operatic at times. 

 "Grumpy Days" is Max Pow's (aka Lonely Gimmick's) most buoyant and playful track to date. With goofy charm that uses subtle undertones of freakbeat, funk and Motown to create something new and exciting in the indie genre. "Grumpy Days" is sure to please indie and music fans alike.

Grumpy Days

DECIDE

End of Beginning

Lonely Gimmick proudly presents an all new take on the classic song "All Along the Watchtower". 

Combining the soft folk acoustic style of Bob Dylan's original with LG's signature indie-funk groove. LG makes a version of this classic that feels more soulful than Dylan's yet more chaotic than Hendrix's.

It pulls the listener immediately in with a Yamaha Rhodes piano solo. This is first song by the artist where a piano is in the forefront and an original 1970s Rhodes no less. If "Grumpy Days" paraded LG's guitar playing skills "All Along the Watchtower" exhibits their keyboard skills. The Rhodes is used in a imaginative way throughout the song accompanying the bass's steady pulse. Meanwhile playful and funky guitar lines dance around this creation of pulse at times hinting of early 90s heavy hitters "Pixies". If "Pixies" or "Sonic Youth" covered "All Along the Watchtower" its not hard to imagine it would have sounded like this. This makes it clear LG is a 90s child with their rock influences on full display throughout this sonic landscape. The guitar work draws parallels to their previous single "Grumpy Days" but still manages to tread new ground and build on top of their established sound. Exhibiting that LG is not a fan of repeating themselves. 

In order for Max (aka Lonely Gimmick) to create this expressive take they have recruited two members of the now disbanded band "The Stumble and Shake". 

Ex-Drummer "Amar Singh" lays down the foundation creating a thriving heartbeat that carries the groove of the song forward while simultaneously cradling the tune with delicacy. Nothing too fancy but everything in the right place. 

Hannah's vocals sit perfectly in the mix and add a soulful spice to the driving bass and drums. The lyrics are different from both Hendrix's and Dylan's version. This is because the lyrics were edited using the same method Hendrix took. Remembering what they could from memory rather than actually looking them up. This and the fact the song is actually a semitone up in key makes it almost feel like an original composition.

Overall this take on a classic standard has a vintage feel while simultaneously updating the song and carrying it into the future. This isn't the first cover of "All Along the Watchtower" and its sure not to be the last. Fans of the Dylan's original, Hendrix's cover and lovers of grunge, indie, or folk are sure to find some ear candy with this track. One things for certain is it hits harder than my Dad after a couple of cans of Stella!

Lonely Gimmick presents its third release, "Blue Ticked Influencer" takes inspiration from lo-fi rock icon Mac Demarco using mostly guitars and a heavy does of chorus pedal to craft a catchy melody. Layerings of background vocals and synths create an astral vibe while the lo-fi lovable glockenspiel completes the indie soaked track. The lyrics and title are of course a comment and criticism on the social media driven times we live in. It critiques the self important attitude that can absorb a person because of the number of "likes" and "followers" they have and attain. The lyrics directly reference the reality TV show "Love Island" which stars many so called "Influencers" calling them and their "abstract beauty" empty. The message of the song being beauty isn't everything, your self worth is not determined by your social media presence or how many followers and likes you have. There are many hidden gems in this universe. and we should learn to humble ourselves to our insignificance. As the cover art for the track says "we are all nothing but ants on a speck of dust floating in space"

Lyrics:
"Can you walk between the raindrops, if not, can you make the sound of the city stop, I guess not, you just bury your head in your Instagram
Smoke and mirror don't bring no tears, when all you got left are your dreams to conquer your fears
Just give them money, money, they don't care, let the worker bees make that honey
Blue ticked influencer your abstract beauty is as empty as your island of love
They don't wanna learn, they don't wanna work hard, they wanna reap rewards without even having to start"

Lonely Gimmick is the brainchild of Samuel Powell. Formerly an anonymous artist also going by the alter ego Max Pow. Samuel Powell used both these names as pseudonyms to hide their real identity. Recently retiring the "gimmick" of being anonymous as they felt it no longer aligned with the direction their music and image was heading. Lonely Gimmick's work is self-recorded and produced, with the vast majority of the instruments featured on each track played by Sam himself. LG has been building up a following online since 2020 releasing singles such as "Blue Ticked Influencer" and "Grumpy Days". All the while winning praise from online music press outlets such as American Pancake, Obscure Sound and featuring on BBC introducing.
