It's Wonderful

this song is all about knowing your self worth, and recognising when you’re in a rut

i deserved better

FFO: Tame Impala, The xx, Sylvan Esso

Brighton-based electronic pop duo Sock Drawer return with “Bored” a woozy, slow-burning dream-pop track set in a parallel universe where they’re rich, famous, and finally on tour. In reality? They’re just... bored.

One of the earliest tracks written for their upcoming debut album, “Bored” began as a stripped-back acoustic tune—a half-baked escape plan rooted in a fantasy trip to Amsterdam. That trip never happened, but the daydream stuck. Over time, the song grew into a layered, sample-heavy voyage through inertia and imagination. Guitars pulse with restless energy, drum loops stutter and swirl, and the final section bursts into a euphoric 4-to-the-floor outro—a pop-fuelled hallucination of a tour that never was.

Vocalist Ebony Grace reflects on being a tourist in your own life adrift, daydreaming, and disconnected. “‘Bored’ is set in a kind of parallel universe—by the end of the track, we’re on tour and rich and famous. But really, we’re just daydreaming on the sofa,” she says.

It’s escapism disguised as a pop song—or maybe the other way around.

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

with "DEEP CUT", we wanted to capture the generational experience of love in the aftermath of heartbreak. 

it’s about how quickly we move on 
[ or pretend to ] without ever really processing what broke us in the first place.

the song embodies our emotional vulnerability: how we only open up during the late hours, when substances or distractions make everything feel easier. 
but it’s never a real solution, is it?

and it’s only then that we realize the weight of the past still lingers. we carry unhealed scars into something new and without even noticing, we pass them on to each other in a vicious circle.

and in the end, the person we hurt the most might just be ourselves.

DEEP CUT

The song uses the metaphor and a couple turns of phrase from Robert Frost's Winter Wind & Window Flower to create a contemporary tune. His lyrics have been dramatically changed, but he gets, and deserves, credit for a wonderful  love lost metaphor. Thanks Bob...hope you don't turn in your grave.

Where She Follows Still

Jack Landess - Segue

I’m a composer, songwriter, and technologist working across genres, from cinematic scores to alternative rock and stripped-back acoustic. My creative process is guided by instinct, emotional tone, and a grounding in early piano, guitar, vocal training, and music theory fundamentals. I play guitar, bass, drums, piano and was lead vocalist in a few bands.

Moments, people, or emotional energy can spark melodies or textures in my mind. I often hear complete orchestral pieces internally, as if they already exist and my role is to translate them into sound.

Most tracks begin as a voice note or a musical fragment, then develop through piano, guitar, and high-end production tools. Lyrics follow a similar path. Glimpsed, assembled, and refined. I work in Logic Pro X with Kontakt, EastWest, Arcade, Scalar, Steinberg, Waves, and Kits.ai (ethically licensed vocal models based of my own recordings). 

Whether polished or raw, each track aims to capture something emotionally honest. If a song resonates with you, then it was meant for you.
