Missing a plane

Amason - Älgen

"Tess is a true believer in the church of rock’n’roll. She has great taste and is really sharp!” - Alan McGee

Tess Parks was born and raised in Toronto but moved to London at seventeen to pursue music and to study photography. She has played solo for the past four years.

Having moved back to Toronto in 2012, she put together her amazing psychedelic backing band of "sexy and talented musicians”, The Good People.
Early in 2013, she self-released a very popular EP ‘Work All Day/Up All Night’
Tess describes her songs as "lo-fi alternative drones with a hypnotic vibe”. Influences include Elliott Smith, friends the Dandy Warhols and all the classics: "I was brought up on Bob Dylan, Nirvana, The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Zeppelin.”

She met Alan McGee in London. "We stayed in touch, that was it really. I just got so lucky. I love Oasis, Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine… He’s affiliated with all of my favourite musicians.”

Tess recorded her album of scuzzy, downbeat psychedelia (think Mazzy Star crossed with The Brian Jonestown Massacre) across the summer. It’s been pre-empted by the release of her debut single proper ‘Somedays’.


Tess Parks - Gates Of Broadway

I always loved this song and wanted to start of a mix tape with it and since the original is so stripped down i decided to add bass, drums and synths to make it flow perfectly into to the next song. After doing the mixtape i realized that it's quite good as a standalone track too. You can get the mixtape here: http://this.bigstereo.net/2009/07/10/turbotito/

Tuxedomoon - In A Manner Of Speaking (Turbotito Jam Along Rerub)

Something tells you that you haven’t seen it all 
The smoke in those grey eyes
Stirs up a storm 

You walk the city streets and try to clear your thoughts
Hands turn to midnight 
A knock at the door 

Do you want to get high
While you catch alight
Do want it feel it all 
Like a slow burn 

Every day becomes a cycle of despair 
You start to unravel 
Everyone stares 

All the things you start to feel
You know you never had a chance 
A midnight too many 
With the queen of the dance 

Do you wanna get
Do you wanna get
Do you wanna get high
While you catch alight
Do want it feel it all 
Like a slow burn 

Do you wanna get high
While you catch alight
Do want it cause it hurts
Like a slow burn 

Do you wanna get
Like a slow burn
Do you wanna be mine
Do you wanna get
Do you wanna get
Like a slow burn
Do you wanna get high

Slow Burn

2017’s equal parts somnambulant and sultry Sleeprydr 7” was aptly described as “psychedelic rock that hits like a dream despite undoubtedly seeking to soundtrack nightmares” (-Stereogum). Thankfully, Slow Sundown, Holy Motors’ debut full length release, finds the Estonian dreamcatchers utilizing a similar sonic palette ranging from dark psychedelic pop to shoegaze-inflected western music. But while Sleeprydr, much like 2015’s Heavenly Creatures 7”, provided only a fleeting glimpse into the dreamscape that their music evokes, Slow Sundown’s eight tracks offer a more immersive experience for those brave enough to take the ride. While the guitar lines from lonely cowboy ballads like “Honeymooning” could easily serve as the central themes for unwritten Morriccone scores, dystopian anthems like the rhythmically propelled “Signs” break new ground for the band and demonstrate that Holy Motors are not bound by their influences. Thematically the album is comprised primarily of sad love songs centered around the idea of motion – the motion of a satellite orbiting a planet, the motion of a passenger riding shotgun in a car – as it relates to stellar-scale and existential isolation. Produced by Merchandise’s Carson Cox and recorded at Brooklyn’s Kutch1 Studios when the band was visiting the US on tourist visas, Slow Sundown is a beautiful alien artifact that definitively delivers on everything we have been promised by Holy Motors’ work to date.

About Holy Motors

Hailing from Estonia, Holy Motors is a five-piece twang and reverb band featuring three guitarists. They are cowboys at heart who come off as shoegazers by their presence and dreamcatchers in their music. In their time, Holy Motors have played alongside bands such as Kaleidoscope, Craft Spells, Sic Alps, Dirty Fences, and Rips. They will appear at South by Southwest in 2018 and are currently organizing a series of US tour dates centered around the festival.

STEREOGUM
Hits like a dream despite undoubtedly seeking to soundtrack nightmares
THE FADER
HOLY MOTORS makes shoegaze that sounds like the old west
ADHOC
Alluring in their delivery, entrapping in their substance
