LYRICS
Can you feel it in the air
We're in a state of disrepair
Is there nothing I can do
Before you leave me black and blue

Can you see it?
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?

If you live it
and you breathe it
then you mean it

My oh my how can I reply 
until you see it, you wouldn't believe it
Every time I ask myself why
How'd you do it, I can't wait to hear it 
Why do I feel so defeated 

Can you hear it in my voice
I feel like I ain't got a choice 
Have you nothing left to prove
Before you leave me black and blue.

Can you see it?
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?

If you live it
and you breathe it
then you mean it

My oh my how can I reply 
until you see it, you wouldn't believe it   
Every time I ask myself why
How'd you do it, I can't wait to hear it 
Oh my god I knew all along, it won't be long before it all goes wrong now
Why do i feel so... defeated

Salt Lake City-based Indie Singer-Songwriter Josaleigh Pollett will return on October 28th with “Radio Player,” an electronics-infused and Poltergeist-inspired new single. Here, Josaleigh is reunited with long-time collaborator Jordan Watko (Crowd Shy) for the first time since Jordan’s relocation to Japan, making this their first recorded output since 2023’s highly acclaimed “In the Garden, By the Weeds,” which NPR Music’s Bob Boilen featured on All Songs Considered.

Despite the distance between them, the pair opted to make their first cross-continent collaboration more ambitious and exploratory than what came before. Initially finding acclaim in 2020 with their ‘No Woman Is the Sea’ album, before going on to share bills with St. Vincent, Torres, Deep Sea Diver, DeVotchKa, Mini Trees, Hibou, and Kilby Block Party, “Radio Player” sees their sound continue to evolve. This new slowburning single merges analogue atmospherics, Indie Rock drive, and Pop melodies to create something that feels haunting, claustrophobic, and cathartic.

Speaking on their return, Josaleigh comments:

"Radio Player is a song about memory and fear, loosely based on seeing the movie Poltergeist at too young an age. It is a journey through the hallways of childhood that we leave a light on within. A pink light flickers on and beckons the listener through, releasing them changed and covered in ectoplasm five minutes later.

In true independent DIY fashion and similar to 2023's In The Garden, By The Weeds, this new song is recorded mostly at home between my Salt Lake City make-shift home studio, and Jordan's apartment in Japan. The difference this time is that we're bringing in more collaborations and new instrumentation. In addition to mixing and mastering, Nashville's Andrew Goldring helped with production and played some instruments on Radio Player, as well as being a part of the live band that played Kilby Block Party earlier this year. Radio Player really got its feet under it in a live band setting, and we tried to bring more of that to our production without losing the electronic-based production that Jordan is so fluent in. 

This is the first song we made together since Jordan moved to Japan in 2024, and instead of letting distance dampen our collaboration, we really tried to lean into the chaos and confusion of creating from different ends of different days while an ocean apart. I think a lot of that anxiety and newness mixed with the dedication of friendship drives this new music.”

I was 21
And I stopped listening to the songs I loved
Because they didn't impress you much
Riding shotgun
Too scared to select a tune
And I said I didn't care
But I did
And I do
And it still rips my ribs apart
That you thought that you loved music so much more than I do

God I hope it hurts each time you listen to those songs
I hope there's some that you can't play anymore
I hope you claim you never really liked Björk anyway
Because the sight of my name is still a little too much
I hope that I can dance with a man who really sees me
Makes a move with every note I come to
Because I said I didn't care
But I did
and I do
that you thought that you loved music so much more than I do
and it still rips my ribs apart
that you thought that you loved music so much more than I do

Maybe it's that I gave it up
For a man that can't see beauty in the songs that I do
For a man that can't hear every year when I sing my tunes
I gave them up for you
I gave them up for you
I gave them up for you

Hull-based collective O’Phantom return with their first release since their self-titled, self-funded EP dropped in May this year. The new single, Something (I Know), marks a bold continuation of the band’s introspective, lo-fi sound. Featuring Lucy Jowett (Dead Naked Hippies), the track builds on O’Phantom’s signature aesthetic - melding shimmering guitars, dual harmonies, and ghostly layered vocals to quietly yet powerfully explore themes of loss, ageing, and isolation. 

Fresh from two packed shows at this year’s Great Escape in Brighton and a run of dates across grassroots music venues nationwide, the DIY East Yorkshire outfit embodies the spirit of the UK’s underground music scene - one that values community over social media hype. Songwriter Daniel reflects on the single: “Something (I Know) was the first song we wrote together. It started as a few chords on an acoustic guitar and grew into this brooding, atmospheric post-punk track - thanks in no small part to Rowan’s (bass) knack for deconstructing song structures. Working with Matt Peel (TRAAMS, Yard Act, Honesty) on the recording really brought it to life. We came out with a track we’ll love forever.”

What Has Been and What Will Be is the title track from my forthcoming album of the same name.

Would you do it all again
If it meant that everything
would be exactly the same

For all the good and bad
Would you change anything?
Or live it just the same way
Over and over again?

If you take a look around
It's not always as it seems
Living in a bubble
that's coming apart at the seams

So maybe I'd change a few things
Maybe think a little more
About what will be
Less about what went before

Do you think it could be better?
Or is human fault baked in?
I've got to believe it could be

There's a whispering within
when you stop shutting out the world
It says it’s too late to go again
But it's never to late to begin

Caught in-between
What has been
And what will be
We can't intervene
In what has been
But we can write what will be
