SPRINGBREAK "AS YET" EP

I should use this situation 
To do a little more for me
A change in job direction
Maybe something I don't hate
But I'll always be as redundant
As a pair of China Skis
I hope you get that reference
I know Josh Jarman will at least...

Maybe if I had any aspirations at all
I could dream of Fridays that don't tell me
That I'm allowed to dress down
Even sad kings get to wear a crown
And I'm too comfy on this throne
I was content with sharing nothing
Now I have nothing on my own.

"Breakfast Records are tickled pink to be releasing the debut album of local lo-fi hero SLONK. 

 'Songs About Tanks' is a gamechanger for this prolific young genius, an incredible, affecting collection of miniature masterpieces. Featuring guest contributions from Fenne Lily, Oliver Wilde, The Gin Birkins and Jamie Cruickshank, the album's credits read like a compendium of Bristol's most important new artists. We've had it on repeat for the past few months and are beyond stoked to finally be releasing it into the wild. 

It is a thing of wonder. Behold."
- Josh Jarman, Breakfast Records

China Skis

If nothing had changed,
Would it have helped me out?
You don't feel the same
And I understand.
Nothing's the same
But I'll help you out.
Nothing's the same now.

I kind of guessed something was wrong,
Didn't want to believe 
Should've bit my lip just to prolong,
This overwhelming grief
Now I live at my parents house 
On my brothers sheets
They don't keep me warm; 
They don't smell of you
So I'll never sleep the same
But I'll help you out.
I know you sleep the same
But that doesn't help
There is no time to these days;
Every minute's a freeze frame
Where I blame myself.

This list of loss is so long
I've no time to read
There's a cloud of what it was
Over everything
And I've been trying to think
If it's you or the past that I still love
But I don't think I'll ever solve that.

For all it hurts, I'm a big boy now.
And you need to work on being nice to yourself.
Because you're perfect.
You're my best friend.
And we're both going to be fine.

SLONK is the bedroom project-turned full-band-flesher from Bristol based Joe Sherrin. Ever prolific (he's released a full-length this year already), 'Jane's Boots' came from - in Joe's own words, "a strange evening I had where, coming home very late, me and a friend found an incredibly distressed woman lying in the middle of the road. It took a good few hours in the torrential rain convincing her we were actually just nice people trying to help her get home safely, eventually we did get her home in a taxi - though the taxi driver refused to take her unaccompanied so we had to go with her and I had to actually carry her to her door. She had a pair of boots with her that she refused to put on and her name was either Jane or Louise, I can't remember. I hope she's alright."

Dusted with bourgeoning guests from the Bristol scene including Kate Stapley + Kane Eagle on backing vocals & Philip Collings on piano, let the lo-fi beauty of the track walk all over you.
