Folk Hidden Gems - Fall 2018

A collection of all Soundcloud submissions I approved while going through the stacks of tracks HI54 was sent in September 2018 via our SubmitHub page (www.submithub.com/blog/high-five-for). New tracks added until the end of the month.

Not sure what SubmitHub is? I done wrote a blog post about using it as a blog if you're interested in that sort of thing: hi54.blog/content/submithub-review-from-a-bloggers-perspective

Want to hear the full barrel of SubmitHub submissions I've approved in 2018? Give a follow / have a shuffle thru this ongoing Spotify playlist: hi54.blog/content/from-the-submithub-archives-2018

Introducing our cover of May I Have This Dance by Francis and the Lights!

https://Meadowlark.lnk.to/MIHTD

The minute this song came into our lives, we were obsessed with it. Such incredible songwriting and inspiring production. We knew we had to put our own stamp on it and it didn't take us long. That's the beauty of music, you get to interpret it, play around with it and make it your own. We've stripped it back to its bare bones and discovered its emotional core. It's been so fun and we're massively grateful for the opportunity to do so!

We hope you love it as much as we do! And make sure you go and listen to the original version - it's brilliant.

"Terrible Feelings!" is the lead single from "Megadead," the new album from Benjamin Shaw. Released on Audio Antihero (UK/US) and Kirigirisu Recordings (Japan) on CD, Cassette and Digital. https://bnjmnshw.bandcamp.com/album/megadead

Atwood Magazine premiere: http://atwoodmagazine.com/bstf-benjamin-shaw-terrible-feelings

Previous Press:

"A piece of work that could stand the test of time...The solitude is palpable." - Gold Flake Paint 

"It’s a reminder that some of the most powerful emotions can bloom from the simplest of raw moments, and Shaw is an expert at crafting just those instances." - Drowned in Sound 

"You wouldn't want everyone (or anyone else) to sound to like Benjamin Shaw but I'm delighted someone does." - The Line Of Best Fit 

"Benjamin Shaw is an outcast, a loner, a maverick and a freak. All of these are compliments." - CLASH Music 

"An album that is quite unlike anything else, full of blackened charisma and a sonic imagination quite different to most." - The Music Fix 

"Shaw may be pop's outsider - something many outlets noted upon his entry into the world of music - but with this release, he shows a faint desire to join the central fold. Perhaps it's due to resolute defeat, but still, that counts, right?" - The 405

TOO LUCKY is the experimental first single from the forthcoming Leebone Phillips’ EP "A Big Long Time" scheduled for release late 2018.
Chewing over ideologies of fate, religious superstition and free will, the lo-fi folkster marches fearlessly in a new direction, contrasting his previous three-single EP he poetically refers to as 'Songs For The Grey Cat'. TOO LUCKY puts a finger on the pulse of existentialism, beating with retro-synth, electric guitars, and lyrical mortality. Inside the tune, Leebone draws instrumental influence from indie vanguards Dr Dog, Sparklehorse and M Ward - while managing to preserve his signature lo-fi character and folk roots.
Fresh from grabbing the attention of Spotify playlisters, music bloggers and critics through his previous single releases, TOO LUCKY sends a bold message that Leebone is no one-trick-cowboy as he continues to tirelessly create outside the box. 
TOO LUCKY was produced and mixed by Leebone Phillips, with additional mixing and mastering by Silent Feature’s Greg Cathcart at Ark Studios, Brisbane.

Lyrics:
I hate getting robbed by the foreign exchange
but it always happens when I cross states in my mind
these days I'm volatile
Maryanne stay here, Maryanne go
you've got your man and I drift away slowly
with a burgundy glass and my best attire

We do what we do, we say what we say
but for some reason I always cross your way
we do what we do, we say what we say
blame it on the current, blame it on the waves

Oh the stupid things I'd do to spend time with you
when it was cold outside and we'd share Camel Blues
You know I hate them but I did it all for you
Tonight you dance with him all dressed in black
my vision's blurred, God bless my friends and the red wine
but you are still beautiful

We do what we do, we say what we say
but for some reason I always cross your way
we do what we do, we say what we say
blame it on the current, blame it on the waves

We do what we do, we say what we say
but for some reason I always cross your way
we do what we do, we say what we say
blame it on the current, blame it on the waves

lyrics //

I’m better for it
These other guys no they don’t understand shit
I’m good without it
He asked me why I’m single well I told him ‘bout it

I’ve been on my way but they always seem to crop up
Leading me astray, why should I wait for them to fuck up
You wanna stay in my good books
Meet me on the same wave
Tell me ‘bout your feminist ways
Look at you, look at you, aren’t you special

Tell me what you think I wanna hear
Give it to me slowly, wait ‘til you get to know me
Before the big reveal
That you’re not any different are you?
‘Cause you’re not any different are you, are you, are you

I think you know it
You’re telling me you don’t when I call you on it
You say you’re for it
Then tell me all you know like I do not know it

Always on your game, like I cannot see you crop up
Leading me astray, why should I wait for you to fuck up?
You wanna stay on my wish list
Tell me on your next trip
Come running when you say my name
Look at you, look at you, aren’t you special

Tell me what you think I wanna hear
Give it to me slowly, wait ‘til you get to know me
Before the big reveal
That you’re not any different are you?
‘Cause you’re not any different are you, are you, are you

No, no, no, no
You’re not any different are you?
No, no, no, no
You’re not any different are you?

Look at you, look at you, aren’t you special
Look at you, look at you, aren’t you special
Look at you, look at you, aren’t you special

On Top

Verse 1:

When the day was young and life easy
We used to ride the turning tides, no happy and care free
When it was us against the world, the world came falling to his feet
For all we knew forever young, would always be

Verse 2:

And she rode on a horse of gasoline
And drove us to the border of our childhood city streets
Saw the world in lights a'calling how I couldn't wait to leave
Funny now the more I go through life, the more it seems to me

Chorus:

That it don't rain upon the plain the birds don't sing high on the breeze
And the sun don't shine as brightly as she once did over me
And I can't pray to god for help, for my lord he doesn't answer me
In the dying light, of teenage revelry

Verse 3:

Now the weeks are worn in black and white
They fade into each other turn to years before your eyes
Yesterday it seemed the world was my playground and free to ride
Now with every new page that I turns, the same thing that I write

Chorus:

That it don't rain upon the plain the birds don't sing high on the breeze
And the sun don't shine as brightly as she once did over me
And I can't pray to god for help, for my lord he doesn't answer me
In the dying light, of teenage revelry

Bridge:

And the stormy clouds they block the sun
And tomorrows a loaded gun
And every rode I take looks like, another walked upon
And the devil sings to me at night, in dreams I never brought to life
Sings sorry but it seems to me my sun

Chorus:

That it don't rain upon the plain the birds don't sing high on the breeze
And the sun don't shine as brightly as she once did over me
And I can't pray to god for help, for my lord he doesn't answer me
In the dying light, of teenage revelry

Teenage Revelry
