Boy Deco continues their journey towards the release of their second EP "Real Sugar". After making a strong impression on platforms with their initial singles, the indie pop/rock band drops 'Daisy'. True to the project's minimalist and alternative artistic direction, this track brings together dissonant synths and playful guitar notes.

When I Grow Up

Mourning Dove

Eyes Wide Open

We suffered a loss a few years ago that plunged us into depression and grief.  We kept seeing him and hearing him in the house for months after, but he was gone.  

This song was written in that time as a way to express that deep loss we felt and to always remember him.

The light shines in from the moon
Clair de Lune plays in a room
You’re in my arms saying good-bye
Holding you just makes me cry
Your shadow keeps following me
I look around, there’s nothing to see
I hear a sound from down the hall
And silently, I fall

Silently We Fall

Trying

safe n sorry

Winter

On their brand new debut single «Sunshine Crawlers» Norwegian newcomers Haunted Mansions bring warmth and understated confidence to their hiphop-inspired indie weirdness. The Trondheim-based duo's  first offering is full of insistent pop hooks, and is a great introduction to their sound. 

Haunted Mansions namecheck Portugal The Man, Danger Mouse and Gorillaz when asked to describe their music and while those artists have inspired Haunted Mansions it's clear to all that they bring their own flavour to the music as well. 

The song combines old-school hiphop beats, almost shimmering acoustic guitars, textured synths and weird, smoky and infectious vocals to perfection. «Sunshine Crawlers» is seductive in all it’s gloom, mildly psychedelic and strongly melodic, but most of all just really great. 

It’s a song about social injustice, about realizing that the world is blindingly unfair and that there really isn’t that much hope to be found. Still, there are undertones of resistance, a subdued call to arms. The last chorus rises above the gloom and asks «Who’s laughing now» as it perhaps finds an ever so slight glimmer of light in the enveloping darkness of modern society.

Thomas: "We had been flirting with the idea of writing songs and starting a band together for a long time, and it just sort of happened one day. As Vegard was leaving my studio he heard the initial demo for Sunshine Crawlers with no vocals from the hallway, and went back with an old melody of his, that just fit the song. From there everything just fell into place and the song was incredibly easy to complete. It is the first song we wrote together."
