Nocturnal Wax Presents: Studio 96 #260 feat. Architecture in Tokyo (August 25, 2023)

“I treat people like they’re problems / I treat all problems like they’re mine”

Recovering perfectionist embraces the catharsis of the misstep in this epic release.

In one of Small Million’s most personal tracks, vocalist Malachi Graham cops to her perfectionist and codependent tendencies, and considers eschewing rigidity in favor of a new path forward: being willing to be messy, difficult, irrational, hungry, and wrong. Be Wrong explores the cathartic power of letting yourself lose control and pursue your own ease and intuition rather than trying to fix other people.
“I’ve spent much of my life as a cerebral perfectionist, without a meaningful relationship with my own body. A journey with chronic pain led me to embrace that I have more forms of wisdom available to me than just my intellect… my voice apparently doesn’t just tumble out of my brain onto a record. It’s the intersection of my breath and my vocal cords and my belief systems and my diaphragm and my lungs and my lyrical turns of phrase and the whole resonant chamber of my body. It’s a somatic and intellectual collaboration. I’m one whole being, I just need to remember to listen to all of myself, and that can feel very messy and uncontrolled and scary when you’re used to thinking of yourself as a brain with a mouth.” -Malachi

LYRICS
If I could let myself be hungry, if I could let myself be wrong 
Let me crank the volume on what I knew all along
If I could let my dreams be lucid, If I could echo like a sound
If could let myself get lost I could remember what I found
If I could, if I could
Won’t make it easy to love me this time 
If I could, if I could
It was too easy to love me last time
Cuz I treat people like they’re problems
I treat all problems like they’re mine
Do I think, do I think, do I think that I can solve this life?
If I could listen to my body, would it lead me to my soul? 
Lemme crank the volume on what I already know.
If I could let myself be hungry, if I could let myself be wrong 
If I could let myself admit what I knew all along
If I could let my dreams be lucid, If I could echo like a sound
If could let myself get lost I could remember what I found
If I could let myself be hungry then I could let myself be free
If I could listen to my body, I could remember how to breathe.
Remember in the blood, remember in the bone, remember in the spine, remember in the throat
Remember on the skin, remember on the lips, remember on the cheek, remember in the fist 
Remember in the bruise, remember in the ribs, remember in the lungs, remember in the hips 
Remember in the gut, remember in the veins, remember in the heart, forgiving all the pain.

Lucus Mashups Edts presents : Wedding Dub Mashups Session

1 – Heavenly Vampire in the Year 44
2 – Unknown psalm frosts producer 
3 – I Jump for Flota in dub
4 – Iration rumble alarm unit


English story (french below) : 

I was meant to mix for a family wedding. So, I planned to mix some dub from my father’s roots collection. He died some years ago and I thought it could be a joyfyl wink to reunit us. But a drunken guy came and cut the music after just a few minutes. He thus put the « Madison » because they wanted « shitty music » to dance on, as he told me. Tired and upset, I went to sleep in the car, because my tent-mate snored too loudly. 
Rather than recording a mix which was not to be played, I selected four parts of what I prepared to do four mashups, so this moment could become something else to be shared with people I love. For each mashup, two of the four tracks come from my father’s collection, the other two are representative of my own influences. 

The mashups are made of bare loops extracted from each track as samples and then played with 4 decks alternatively. 


Français : 

Je devais mixer pour un mariage en famille. Du coup, j’avais prévu de mixer un peu de dub issu de la collection roots de mon père. Il est mort il y a quelques années, et j’ai pensé que ce serait un clin d’oeil joyeux pour nous réunir. Mais après seulement quelqes minutes, un gars bien allumé est venu couper le son directement. Il a mis le « Madison » car ils voulaient écouter ce qu’il a lui-même nommé « de la bonne grosse musique de merde » (sic) pour danser. Fatigué et un peu vexé, je suis parti me coucher dans la voiture, car mon compagnon de tente ronflait. 
Plutôt que d’enregistrer un mix qui ne devait pas être joué, j’ai choisi quatre parties dans ce que j’avais préparé que j’aimais bien, pour en faire quatre mashups, pour faire de ce moment quelque chose d’autre que je pourrais partager avec celleux que j’aime. La moitié de chaque mashup est composée de morceaux dub issus de la collection de mon père – l’autre moitié est issue de mes dernières influences. 

Les mashups sont purement constitués de boucles extraites de chaque morceau, comme des samples, qui sont ensuite jouées à quatre pistes alternativement.

Lyrics:
Don't inhale
Don't take a breath
Don't move an inch
Do what you can
To not make a sound
Fade into the crowd
Just disappear
Try not to be seen
Don't do anything
That might be construed
As you pushing back
Or making a fuss
Just hush up
Close your eyes
Pretend to die
Cause if you move
If you budge
You're done

When I smell that cigarette breath
It takes me back to when my Grandmother said
Stop throwing sad tantrums
When I smell that cigarette breath
It takes me back to when my Grandmother said
You're pissing me off
