Olmos - You Said

Stay for the Night


V1
Stow it away like a monster
Demons will play with your honor
Just like the ones I’ve set free
I didn’t want them till they left me
Don’t be afraid cuz I’ve got you

CH
Stay for the night 
I’ll be your guide and show you to the water
Stay for the night
If ghosts come to fight we’ll hide in the garden
And if a soul must be taken
Oo I'll let them take mine
Stay for the night x3

V2

Run like the storm is chasing
Beat like drum in the basement
Just like the holy trinity
Hold up a cross to your enemy
All that I want is to guard you

CH
Stay for the night
I’ll be your guide and show you to the water
Stay for the night
If ghosts come to fight we’ll hide in the garden
And if a soul must be taken
Oo I'll them take mine
Stay for the night 
Stay for the night
Stay for the night

Maria Usbeck's solo debut, Amparo, is a collection of songs written and recorded across the span of three years in Ecuador, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Barcelona, Lisbon, Easter Island, Costa Rica, Florida, L.A. and her home in Brooklyn. Though the songs were composed electronically, Amparo called for an acoustic treatment, so Usbeck spent a winter in the studio recording the arrangements live with producer Caroline Polachek and mixer & engineer Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. Fleshed out in full sonic color on the marimba, xylophone, quena flute, piano, and harp, the album stretched into something hi-fi and expressive, meditative but not meandering.

Amparo stems from Usbeck's desire to compose in Spanish, her native language. Growing up in Quito, Usbeck was immersed in salsa, merengue, bachata, and Andean music, but was more attracted to German and American culture than to her own, and moved to America by herself at 17. After five years of fronting new wave outfit Selebrities and writing songs in English, Usbeck experienced a delayed-onset homesickness and knew it was time to "let the mother tongue speak." The impulse manifested itself directly: Amparo takes its title from Usbeck's middle name and her mother's name, and translates roughly as "to guide, protect, and embrace." Usbeck wields her Spanish lyrics cleverly while folding in snippets of several other far-flung tongues: Rapa Nui from Easter Island, Quichua from Ecuador, Bribri from Costa Rica, and Catalan. Because these lyrics were composed while visiting the countries from which they originate, their usage is more impressionistic than literal, like a mockingbird imitating fragments of other bird calls. Similarly, Usbeck reinterprets the Ecuadorian music that she grew up with as a newcomer, returning home with fresh ears, and as such the sounds are very much her own.

The backbone of Amparo is percussion, vibrating throughout with timbales, tumbas, a talking drum, bongos, shakers, and an Indian flat drum, with the gaps filled in by her field recordings of birds, beaches, and jungles. The songs were written and recorded chronologically, with the exception of the closing track, a cover of Colourbox’s “Tarantula” reimagined in Usbeck’s Spanish translation. Amparo is a reflection of the textures of Usbeck's childhood. It is also a distinctly grown-up pop record – a travel diary, music made by a visiting outsider to tap into a shared core of human expression. Emotively, Usbeck is her most powerful on piano ballads "Uno De Tus Ojos" and "Jungla Inquieta," but is a magnetic narrator throughout, moving between whispers, chants, and lullabies. Amparo pulses with many stories in many voices, but they flow together seamlessly like water, leaving behind a wordless hum.

Amparo is released May 27 via Cascine in North America, Labrador in Euope and Rallye in Japan.

"Solar"
from the YUNQUE EP

This project is my homage to nature and sunlight and its goal is to convey the feeling of being outside. The EP is named after Puerto Rico's El Yunque rainforest, the only tropical rainforest in the United States and one of my favorite places in the world.

Kevin Morby - Destroyer

Taken from the album 'Fall Forever', released June 3rd on Kanine Records.

UK Pre-order: www.musicglue.com/fearofmen/
US Pre-order: www.kaninerecords.com/product/fear-o…n-fall-forever

Speaking to Noisey about the track, the band's Jessica Weiss describes the sense of trauma tackled here as: "the undefinable anxiety and damage that all of us suffer at some point at the hands of another. It’s how we deal with it that defines us...To me, dealing with trauma is not about looking back, it’s about taking that experience and putting it under your own control, letting it become a part of you." For her, the song is about "empowerment through taking control." 

Brighton's Fear of Men return on June 3rd with their second full-length album, Fall Forever, via Kanine Records worldwide. Building upon the melodicism and immediacy of their acclaimed debut album, Loom, Fall Forever takes the three-piece - comprised of Jessica Weiss, Daniel Falvey and Michael Miles - in a bold and modern direction, pushing the limits of their instruments to take on new and alien forms.
