Where The Down Bit Starts (Feat. Kimbra)



ASTRONAUTS
‘You Can Turn It Off’ single
Lo Recordings
RELEASE DATE: April 8th, 2016

‘You Can Turn It Off’ is the second single from ‘End Codes’, the forthcoming album from Dan Carney aka Astronauts.

Following reasonably warmly on the heels of February’s Hype Machine chart-bothering lead single ‘Civil Engineer’, ‘You Can Turn It Off’ is arguably a subtler affair, a plaintive, plinking question mark of a song.

Ornately layered “Crosby, Stills & Nash via the Thames Estuary” vocal harmonies swirl soothingly over a simple glockenspiel-and-piano-augmented progression. Like all of Dan’s best stuff, it’s melodically satisfying, memorable, and slightly psychically unsettling, the repeated assertion that, whatever happens, “you can take it all away, you can turn it off” imbuing the gently optimistic chord changes and airy, reflective feel with a compelling ambiguity.

It’s backed by an absolutely stunning remix from Dan’s label-mates Grasscut. The electronica/post-rock duo bend the original into a gloriously undulating epic, with toy box chimes, woozy percussion, and gorgeous strings gradually gathering into a pulsing, imaginative backdrop for a lovingly re-edited vocal.

We like ‘You Can Turn It Off’ a lot and hope you do too. ‘End Codes’ is arriving on May 6th.

Lyrics

I'm looking for a master plan
A place to land
A place where I can stand

There's got to be a place to stay
For all these days
Someone to show the way

Running round chasing 
All that I wanna be
I've never felt so free

There's a light I know it's
Close to me
I just want to see
All you have for me

There's a piece I know it's hard to find
But I know in time
You'll see it's part of the puzzle

Running round chasing 
All that I wanna be
I've never felt so free

Lyrics..
Well I gave you everything that you wanted
All the attention you need
I even made sure you were satisfied
But what have you done for me

I never let you go hungry
Even made sure you were clean
I kept you in clothes
You know I gave you it all
But what have you done for me
Well what have you done for me

You never take me out
You always say that you're beat
Could it be so hard 
To give some attention to me
I cannot take much more
My patience wearing thin
About to leave your sorry ass
'Cos you're taking me for granted

Well I gave you all the love I had in me
Never made you feel insecure
I treated your ass like royalty
Well I'm not gonna take any more

I even helped you build up your business
I saved you in your hour of need
I signed my name
On the dotted line
But tell me
What have you done for me

So the least you can do is
Honey show me you care
Instead of showing me
Nothing at all
Oh when we first met 
You was [were] out to impress
But now it seems those days have gone
'Cos you're taking me for granted

I remember a time
We used to be so in love
You had so much to give
So I gave you it all

Well I gave you everything that you wanted
All the attention you need
I even made sure you were satisfied
But tell me, what have you done for me

So you come home late
And all you can do 
Is just sit in front of TV
While I'm cooking your food
I know you've been working
Well, I've been working too
You'd better stop it right now
'Cos you're taking me for granted

You'd better stop it right now
I won't be taken for granted

Run Away and Marry Me

Taken Me For Granted (original)

'Comeback Kid' is the second single by Ghosts of Social Networks. 

Out on 21st October, it follows the Manchester 3-piece's debut 'Love Potion' which received great support from Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music and several Triple A stations in the US, and was playlisted at Amazing Radio.

'Comeback Kid' is written in the form of a modern fairy tale, the story of two lovers fleeing from an oppressive regime.

UK dates will be announced soon, including a headline show at Manchester's Night & Day Cafe on 5th October.

LYRICS
I came a riding
upon a Judgment Day.
I swept my girl up off her feet and ran
from the government
who drove me out of town
for my devilment, I won't back down.

The comeback
the comeback kid
is the last one you think of.

We crossed the river
leaving our lives behind.
We burnt the bridge down and vowed never to return.
The public witch hunt
began to scandalize,
but don't believe a single word of their bare faced lies.

The comeback,
the comeback kid
is the last one you think of.

And the journey was long,
and the journey was hard,
and it took a long time
to get where we are.
We rescued our love
from behind closed bars
and we ran with it strapped
close to our hearts.

Comeback Kid

Ghosts of Social Networks - Comeback Kid

Third single from rock trio Allegory.

Music Video coming soon.
Release date: 14/10/16

Soul bearing emotive rock, with an edgy buzz: Allegory is a light rock band that combines vivid guitar music, with poetic lyrics and an artistic flair.

The band has been together since May 2014 and after their first release ‘Through Time and Space’, they released their second EP ‘Innermost Odyssey’ in September 2015.

The band has an old school No Doubt vibe with dynamics from The Pixies, connecting to a live audience with a vivacious energy and the human experience (which is a recurring theme in the lyrical song writing). A drummer who’s a hard-hitting deep groover, bolsters an expressive, charismatic guitarist, feeding a female vocalist who parades the stage with the vigour of Siouxsie Sioux and a voice ranging from the ethereal tones of Kate Bush to the dark soulful quality of Amy Winehouse.

Allegory have been inspired by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Jack White, David Bowie, Queens Of The Stone Age and Arcade Fire.

A last minute addition to our debut CD "The Good Life". Basically written during recording, and one-taked its way onto the album! A pop-song about not letting the pop-songs we love make us say things we don't mean to those we love!
