Drengens Sang

Peeling off my feelings
In the easy summer’s heat
I whisper something soft and low
Falling like a big old domino

The things we tell ourselves
It’s only a matter of time
’Til you get things figured out
And it finally has a reason

I’ll try again tomorrow
Might be better in the morning
When the sun is up and shining
Everything will feel much better now

The things we tell ourselves
It’s only a matter of time
’Til you get things squared away
And you really can’t complain

Feels like my guts have got a gun to my head
I just can’t go on living my life in bed
’Bout time I go out — right out to the shed
I grab myself a shovel and I dig until I’m dead

But if it’s something that you’ve gotta think about
Maybe it’s not for you
But then again, you rather like to push yourself
Maybe too hard

Let it go and I promise you’ll be fine
Slow it down and you’ll get some peace of mind

Don’t hold your tongue when it comes to you
Don’t feel so old when the moment’s new
It’s gonna pass — you know that it has to
Still, you gotta do what you gotta do

The things we tell ourselves
It’s only a matter of time
’Til it’s all waiting behind you
And you and time are on the run

"Things We Tell Ourselves" - Max Gardener

Point Dume

Dejó pasar días y dejó pasar años, pero no hubo manera de esconder la rabiosa fragilidad de Elena Carat, que se expande desde la primera nota para desatar "El Nudo", el primer single que abre la nueva era de la joven artista y compositora, que brilla como cuando uno encuentra una gema brillante en una esquina en la que casi nadie estaba mirando.

Tras debutar hace más de dos años con "Madrugada" y compaginar sus días entre su carrera solista y ser la vocalista de la banda Patronato, Elena Carat tenía guardado un cancionero brillante, llamado a reescribir la historia de un riot de autor que bebe tanto de PJ Harvey, Feist, Sahron van Etten y Waxahatchee, como con cierta conexión con referentes estatales como Christina Rosenvinge, Tulsa y La Bien Querida.

La primera piedra es esta "El Nudo" con la que inicia una nueva etapa en solitario, a tientas entre el rock alternativo (con aires por momentos noise, por momentos dreamy, por momentos shoegaze), pero siempre con un poso autoril, entre melancólico y rabioso, que le da una fortaleza e identidad a la propuesta y os obliga a seguir muy de cerca a Elena Carat.

La canción, que ha contado con la co-producción de David Baldo (que ha trabajado con artistas de la talla de Aiko el Grupo, Repion, Carlangas o Fee Reega, entre otros) viene acompañada también de un videoclip dirigido por la realizadora Laura Meixús.

This album is a scam. Or isn't it?

In 1992 and 1993 (as a 22 yr old) I recorded a lot of my own songs on cassette. Just me, my acoustic guitar, bass, and sometimes percussion or even borrowed drums. In my head, the songs sounded like the indie guitar bands and the grungy vibe that was in fashion at the time. Most of these tracks were left unfinished, apart from a few re-recordings and later releases.

Now, AI technology makes it possible for these songs to finally sound the way I roughly imagined them back then. Complemented by two songs I wrote in 2013 (at 44). All song structures, melodies and riffs are mine. AI just gave them a new skin. Sometimes it sounds like the band I never had in '93; other times it feels like a modern reinterpretation of that era’s sound. And I love it. Although it’s also a little frightening.

The songs were once sung by a younger me, but this time I let a woman’s voice carry them. I love the contrast: understated, emotionally contained vocals against harder sounds.

These 90's songs, together with the two later pieces (Day Upon Day, Red Moon) form a bridge between who I was and who I’ve become.

This project isn’t a gimmick. It started with curiosity. But turned out to be a conversation between eras. I fed an unfinished past into the system, and what came out feels both intimately human and eerily pristine. That friction between artefact and upgrade is where Repetition Is a Sound finds its soul.

For me it feels like the songs finally found their balance. Like a dialogue between presence and distance, noise and tenderness. Red versus Blue.

LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Stop
Wait a minute
What could it be
Another visit?
It’s no good
But I listen
You’ve packed your bags
And moved into my mind
Fall into line
It’s by design
Time after time
You’ll find

[Chorus]
She calls ‘round three
But it’s all the same
Load me up, laundry
She doesn’t even know his name
Oh, haunt me
He got too close and he burnt his hand
But who lit the flame?
(You lit the flame)
I can’t go on
It’s all the same

[Verse 2]
Girl don’t tell me that I’m acting too sweet
(I'm acting too sweet)
That’s just how my mama raised me
(How she raised me)
I’ve got the door and I’ll be sure to pull out your seat
Spin you ‘round
Dvd

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna hold your heart ‘till it’s mine
So I’ll hold on tight
You’re holding on for the night

[Chorus]
She calls ‘round three
But it’s all the same
Load me up, laundry
She doesn’t even know his name
Oh, haunt me
He got too close and he burnt his hand
But who lit the flame?
(You lit the flame)
I can’t go on
It’s all the same

[Outro]
Another cycle of laundry
Leave me out to dry, laundry
It’s just the way you taunt me
That’s got me folding like laundry

Laundry

A song about someone who takes work and school too seriously that they slip away from the purpose of life

Let's Get Invisible
Music and Words by Mark Magram (2025)

(v)
We gave permission
To the system
Now everything we say
It's always listening

The things we talk about
They try to sell us
And everywhere we go
They track us on the GPS

Let's set sail and float away
Find our paradise where no one knows our name

(ch)
Let's get invisible
Let's go off the grid
Just you and me
Far from this technology
Let's get invisible
Let's fly far away
To a place where we can be alone
Without these prying eyes

(v)
They know the things we love
They know the things we fear
The things that make us laugh
And make us shed a tear

But they will never know
The vibe between us
They cannot quantify
Unspoken languages

Let's find a place that's so remote
Where we can live in peace just you and I alone

(ch)

(br)
Now they can simulate reality
They'll never simulate what makes you you and makes me me.

(ch)
