It’s very easy to throw superlatives at something you admire, but when it comes to something you love, that’s when things get pretty tricky. Although that’s possibly the cheesiest opening line I’ve ever written for a release announcement, I wouldn’t be saying it if I was able to cohesively string together some thoughts on how good I think gims by flout is.

Due for release 18.5.15 on ltd edition green glittery cassette, gims is a collection of songs by the New York based John DeRosso (aka flout). Gradually appearing on his Bandcamp page over the space of 2 months, the album is made up of a collection of yearning, softly sung bedroom pop songs “about being an adult, and coming to terms with a realized faulty version of yourself”.

Although it seems lazy to draw comparisions to other bedroom pop heroes (Alex G, R.L. Kelly, Gorgeous Bully) the elements that made all of the aforementioned so endearing and excellent are present here. The sound of someone finding their feet whilst making understated pop songs complete with all the perfect imperfections that come with recording at home. As John says himself “I wouldn’t change a thing about it. The constant clearing of my throat, my cat meowing after track 1, the footsteps of my roommates on the hardwood floors present on many tracks, the shouts of seamen on the titanic attempting to avoid an iceberg at the end of track 7, and all of those other “blemishes” encapsulate the cathartic days and nights recording this fledgling body of work.”

The short running time (11 tracks in just under 22 minutes) leaves you yearning for more and I’ve lost count of the amount of times, I’ve quickly stuck the album on whilst walking somewhere or waiting for something to happen. It somehow achieves the accolade of being one of our most fragile releases but also one of our most self assured and I’m extremely happy to be releasing it.

An indie hit that takes all the sounds of summer and compiles them into a 3 minute bonanza!

LYRICS:
It's been a while, been a while since I have
seen your face round here
don't know what to say cuz every day

You're in my head, in my head I always 
say it perfectly
do you want to be with me

So take a walk, take a walk with me and
I'll drop all the signs
If you can read I'm sure you'll see it but

Oh, the time, oh I know its 5 AM 
but please don't go
oh please don't go

Cuz Girl, frankly I
wanna see you again but I
know you're leavin'

I wanna kiss you goodbye
but all I can say instead
is a friendly till then

I'll be back, I'll be back you said and
dropped the perfect line
come see me out by the sea

and so I wept, Oh I cried inside all day
while I was dying on the job
I couldn't wait to make the call
Oh I wanna see your face again
I'm sorry I'm just excited but 

Oh, shit
I've got no answer
I hope I didn't blow too soon
Maybe I should finally quit
and just get passed her
but I don't want to admit
that this is it

Cuz Girl, frankly I
wanna see you again but I
know you're leavin'

I wanna kiss you goodbye
but all I can say instead
is a friendly till then

Girl, Frankly

THE DEVIL'S RIFLE IS NAMED AFTER YOU

EVENTIDE: An extended play by The Waterfalls

The Waterfalls’ debut EP already shows a development and maturing in the bands sound; with staple indie rock tunes such as ‘Petrol Boys’ and the bold ‘Wholesome’ coupled with bedroom pop and chill-rock inspired songs ‘Mornings’ and ‘A waste of time’. The EP closes with ‘Sunkissed’, with a hip-hop inspired drum and bass line which develops into a loud and driving rock song. 
Sunkissed ends the EP with the combination of the two sounds the band aim to combine on Eventide.

Lyrics:
Petrol Boys

Feels right, whenever you
Call me, out in the dark
Tastes like violets too

Cause I forgot how much I knew of you
Take me back to when these things went
smooooooth

I don’t wanna be here
I’d rather be on my own
I’d rather be elsewhere
Or anywhere else but home cause that’s when I can see her
Taking off her clothes
Summer never seemed to end this slow

I might set fire to the
whole house, if you come back
Don’t look into my eyes

Cause I forgot how much I knew of you
Take me back to when these things went
smooooooth

I don’t wanna be here
I’d rather be on my own
I’d rather be elsewhere
Or anywhere else but home cause that’s when I can see her
Taking off her clothes
Summer never seemed to end this slow

I’d rather be on my own
On my own
On my own
On my

rather be on my own
On my own
On my own

I’d rather be on my own
On my own
On my own
On my

I’d rather be on my own
On my oooooown

I’d rather be on my own
On my own
On my own
On my

I’d rather be on my own
On my oooooown

I don’t wanna be here
I’d rather be on my own
I’d rather be elsewhere
Or anywhere else but home cause that’s when I can see her
Taking off her clothes
Summer never seemed to end this slow

I don’t wanna be here
I’d rather be on my own
I’d rather be elsewhere
Or anywhere else but home cause that’s when I can see her

I can see her
I can see her
I can see her
