Nice classic sound from our boys Grigg and Combstead 👌

Gorgeous and very classical sound. I like the positive mood of this flow.

Comb love the song bud keep up the good work.

Beautiful composition - the electric guitar is alive and so emotive! The background melodies are gorgeous, almost haunting.

nice intro! maybe guitars too high in mix. keep attention

Awesome soulful guitars, good jam feeling again

Lyrics

You say 
You love me
But you don't 
Show it to me
You say 
You trust me
But you've got 
Your secrets

I look 
At your face
But I don't recognize it
I hear 
Your voice
But I don't understand it

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

I notice 
Your presence
But I 
Feel nothing
I see 
Your lips
But they tell 
Me nothing

I look 
At your face
But I don't recognize it
I hear 
Your voice
But I don't understand it

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

I feel 
Your hand in mine 
But I do not 
Realize it
I know 
We are far away 
From each other that's how it is 

I look 
At your face
But I don't recognize it
I hear 
Your voice
But I don't understand

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

I try to 
understand you
understand you
understand you

I try to 
understand you
understand you
understand you

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

This is a track produced by me in collab with singer Electra Volcana and guitarist Chris Hardisty. The song mixes punk and electronic music, serving as a sample of 90s underground in a more modern guise.

Jane aka Electra Volcana's unmistakable punk vocals are the highlight of the track, creating the perfect underground atmosphere with her raspy voice. Discover the incredible work of this French singer on her Soundcloud page:

Guitarist Christopher Hardisty is a long-time partner in collabs, always delivering brilliant guitar solos. Chris is a member of StillVivid, along with Matt Reeves, and the duo's brilliant work can be heard on their Soundcloud page:

The strong influence of the English band The Prodigy is evident here, especially from their album The Fat of the Land. When The Prodigy released The Fat of the Land in 1997, it was a shock. Everyone was well adapted to the industrial genre by then -- NIN had released their debut album Pretty Hate Machine more than a decade earlier. However, TFOTL became a legendary electronic music album for its rawness and brutality. The single Smack My Bitch Up faced boycotts from record stores, the music video was censored on MTV, but the song reached the top of the charts in more than 20 countries, including the US and UK. In 2020, Metal Hammer magazine (a renowned heavy metal publication) included FOTL in its list of the 10 best albums of 1997. Not enough, Rolling Stone featured FOTL in its list of "Essential Recordings of the 90s" and it is also one of the "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".

The influence of The Fat of the Land on my musical formation at this time is indisputable. It was during this same period that I bought my first physical sampler (Akai Emu E4X Turbo) and started mixing electronic music (techno, dnb, jungle, electro) with underground genres (rock, punk, heavy metal) and more traditional styles (classical music, jazz, new age, pop).

Hope you enjoy the song.

Mist

Look at you sorting through your halos.
Just as I am walking through the door.
You ain't got many words to say to me, though.
It's not getting better than before.
We must abide.
In the Cassiterides.
No, I've never caught a rabbit, and I'll never catch a rabbit with you.
Now, there's no coming back, no matter what I do.
What fools.
We were.

We don't all exist within the same world.
One in which the choices never end.
I'm sure it's lovely in your sunshine.
The grass looks pretty green from down our end.
We struggled by.
In the Cassiterides.
No, i've never caught a rabbit, and I'll never catch a rabbit from you.
The bottom rung of the ladders are simply rotten through.
Boo-hoo.
For who?

Save me.
Out here in the cold.
Your safety.
Is mostly made of gold?
Tame me?
When I'm knowingly mis-sold.
Lately.
Just sat here getting old.
Out of the fold.

You little bastards, always wanting a bit more.
Oh, there's certainly some more of what you've had.
Just poke your head above the parapet.
Quickly have a look and then just grab.
Want an easy ride?
In the Cassiterides.
Oh, you'll never catch a rabbit, and they'll never catch a rabbit for you.
Rome is built for Romans, not for you.
Not you.
Not you.

Safety?
Out here in the cold.
You'd save me?
But I dont have the gold.
Tame me?
Never in this life.
Hold me back?
What gave you the right.
Oh, the right.


Rabbits

The horse falls dead in the road.
He always did as was told.
He never wanted to fly.
He never looked t'ward the sky.

They are all dead in the road.
They looked up once and just choked.
They must have lacked the right skills.
Now they are dead on the hill.

The fool sits watching them fall.
He smiles and says nothing more.
He knows things that we can't know.
That horse was ready to go. 

Dead In The Road (Part Three)

Here is to my cats, isolation & death.

Cats, My Only Friends

Comin Up - Robert Grigg & Combstead

Presence (first, short, version)

The Icelandic winters are long and dark, sinister shadows lurk and after months your mind messes with you. The new track from Icelandic post-rock band Laxá A Friend Of Darkness captures the mood. 

Equal parts harsh and melodic at 8 minutes long the pieces captures the almost interminable harshness at the same time being a post rock instrumental that fills the blackness.

Laxá & Heima Kvartett are:
Jussi Siglarson - Guitar
Bjarne Guðjohnsen - Bass
Matthias Helguson - Drums
Mike Taylor - Keyboards
Lisbeth Heima - Violin
Sif Árnadóttir - Violin
Natasha Guðmundsdóttir - Viola
Ída Sigurðardóttir - Cello
