Help me try to navigate
I'm trying too hard
Oh we gotta meditate
Cause if theres a God
I know she'd have a stress full
Hell of a day
When she finally gets home
Thats when I'd say

I wanna hold it down without
Bringing you down 
You help me navigate when my heads in the clouds
I know at times I'm selfish and I can't help it
The pain I know you felt it and nah I can't melt it but
I'll only be fulfilled when I'm making you proud

So help me try to navigate
We're moving too fast
Help me to alleviate
The pressures I've had
Oh we are the opposite
A positive charge
Drifting out of consciousness
Into the dark

I wanna hold it down without
Bringing you down 
You help me navigate when my heads in the clouds
I know at times I'm selfish and I can't help it
The pain I know you felt it and nah I can't melt it but
I'll only be fulfilled when I'm making you proud

Make It Happen

Set for release via FatCat Records tomorrow, C Duncan’s highly anticipated third album sees the Scottish multi-instrumentalist ditch his bedroom studio and work with other producers, engineers and musicians for the first time. Warm and harmonically rich, Duncan delightfully juxtaposes the vibrant and wholesome aesthetic of the album with an often-darker lyrical undertone, pushing himself to refine and explore new ways of writing. As the sole protagonist of his self-carved niche, ‘Health’ sees Duncan evolve and expand its parameters in mesmerising fashion.

The album’s first single ‘Impossible’ was released in January, with Duncan combining strings and oddball psychedelic sounds. Next up, the title tracks syncopated piano rhythm and brooding vocal harmonies were reminiscent of the ‘The Midnight Sun’s’ soothing aural beauty. Last but by no means least, Duncan documents the trials of rebuilding fractured relationships on the rhythmic art-funk of new single ‘Talk Talk Talk.’ He had this to say on it:

“‘Talk Talk Talk’ about miscommunication. It’s about not realising that you’re actually on the same page as someone and how a misperception can drive you apart. However, it’s also about realising this and rebuilding bridges.”

Following the Mercury nominated debut ‘Architect’ (2015,) an it’s impressive follow up ‘The Midnight Sun’ (2016,) ‘Health’s’ soaring tapestries achieve what Duncan set out to. “With album 3 I wanted to take a more direct approach, adding even more layers but thematically and lyrically laid bare. Having someone else to bounce production ideas off was really eye-opening for me. In the past I had been very controlling about how everything would sound but ‘Health’ really showed me the benefit of working with others and made the whole process much less isolating,” he explains. Packed with fresh ideas and buzzing with invention, ‘Health’ combines syncopated art-pop piano rhythms with breezy, undulating heartbreak ballads executed with acute precision. As always Duncan has contributed all the artwork surrounding the release, and the colourful and natural aesthetic is reflected in the instrumentation and lyrics.

Tree House is the project of London-based Will Fortna. Due to the thin walls, uptight roommates, and lack of equipment in his Brooklyn apartment in 2015, Tree House began as a decidedly minimalist project. Tree House’s name is a nod to both Arthur Russell, an early and enduring influence, and the aforementioned windowless loft space where Fortna taught himself how to sample drums and play the keyboard, composing using headphones, keyboards and hushed vocals. Over time, Fortna has developed a less constrained approach, reflecting the eclecticism of his musical interests, from Pharoah Sanders to Chairlift; Mulatu Astatke to David Byrne. 

Head Up High is Tree House’s first foray since 2017’s Into The Ocean EP. Building on Into The Ocean’s careful compositions and breezy aesthetic, Head Up High introduces a newfound sense of swagger into the Tree House ouvre. With a first draft that used sampled drums from the Talking Head’s Speaking in Tongues LP, the track is a proud display of its influences. An addictive, insistent groove propelled by squelching bass and rhythmic synth stabs form the track’s backbone - a tight pulse punctured by rapturous sax solos from long-time collaborator Nathan Pigott.

Tree House are following the release with a nationwide co-headline tour with Viewfinder, with whom they share the majority of on-stage members.
