Erlend Øye - La Prima Estate

MOVING TO THE CITY
 
I need no nightmares in my mind
I need no spiders I need no time
I’m moving to the city I say farewell to all the friends of mine
I’ve packed my bag gonna sell my guitar
Don’t need your anger I don’t need your regard
I’m moving to the city I leave the town I need a brand new start
My closest friend says “watch your back
To waste your life ain’t no place like that”
I’m moving to the city and I don’t care what you say my friend
And I got no job but I’ll play my cards
Don’t need your help although you think it’s smart
I’m gonna move to the city I need a place where I can rest my heart
 
It’s not so hard to understand
I'm hanging on too long
I know no then, I need no middleman
I'm hanging on too long
I need no new Jerusalem for
One by one, all of my friends
They’re falling down and they do not mend
 
For now those days are passed and pawned
I don’t see why I do have to roam
I’m moving to the city I need a place I finally can call home
I’m leaving my old life behind
I know not anymore what’s mine
I’m moving to the city I need a place where I can rest my mind
 
A brand new game, a brand new start
I'm hanging on too long
I need a plan or I don’t get far
I'm hanging on too long
Don’t need your rules to play my part for
Ever since we’ve been apart
I’m shining like a summer morning star
I say goodbye with a bow so good, so far
 
A brand new game, a brand new start
I'm hanging on too long
I need a plan or I don’t get far
I'm hanging on too long
Don’t need no rules I know my part as
Ever since we’ve been apart
I’m shining like a summer star
It’s not so hard to understand
I'm hanging on too long
I know no then, I ain’t no middleman
I'm hanging on too long
I need no new Jerusalem for
One by one, all of my friends
They’re falling down and they do not mend
And they do not mend

Our design was to oversleep
On a worn out lullaby
Time's passing by with a rough and tumble heart
From the currents that underlie. 
Our crime was the deficit of eyes
In the shape of the dollar sign
Time's passing by but we took too long
And the idea crystallised.

And all the things I want to state
Are undermined by hesitation
lightness, is a mythic city inside.

Who's to say we've had enough
We were soulen, strollin', stolen, I stole it.
Who's to say we've gone too far
We were walkin', growin', rollin', owing.

Our design was to oversleep
On a worn out lullaby
Time's passing by with a rough and tumble heart
From the currents that underlie. 

And all the things I want to taste
On other's tongues and other's plates
Insight is, just a dream punch away from the light.

Friction of a distant time, 
I hope I don't pay the price,
For takin' time, changing mind,
take it to the borderline.

Slumberland Records is pleased to announce the signing of London-based neo-psychedelic pop group The Proper Ornaments. Mining the rich territories of The Velvet Underground and The Beach Boys, their debut album proper "Wooden Head" features fourteen thrillingly taut and melodic pop songs with a deep, dark undercurrent. Comprised of Argentinian Max Claps and James Hoare (also of Veronica Falls) – who both sing and write the songs – and joined by Daniel Nellis (bass) and Robert Syme (drums), the band have already shared stages with the likes of Real Estate, Woods, Crystal Stilts, Toy and Metronomy.

Maximo Claps arrived in London in 2008 on a one-way ticket from Buenos Aires, aided by former Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham. Oldham had produced a record by Claps' Argentinian band of the time but the group had fallen apart in a mess of drugs and acrimony and Claps' family were attempting to intervene by sending him to a mental hospital. The only option seemed to be to flee the country. As Claps recalls, "The day before flying to the UK I got run over by a car and had to escape hospital in order to make it so I arrived with bandages and my head all stitched up."

A few weeks later Max walked into the vintage clothes shop where James Hoare sat behind the counter reading a book on The Velvet Underground, and attempted to cause a diversion while his kleptomaniac girlfriend stole a pair of boots. “She didn't steal them in the end,” says Max. “They weren't her size”. However, the shop assistant and the would-be accomplice bonded over a mutual love of the Velvets, Love, Felt and West Coast pop and began writing together, taking their name from a song by the pioneering soft psych band The Free Design. In 2010 they released their first single, "Recalling", following it up with a five-song EP for London label No Pain in Pop. In 2013 Lo Recordings released all their output to date on a collection titled "Waiting for the Summer", followed by the single “First Step Out” in February 2014.

Their new album was recorded at a studio in Hackney, as well as at home in their old flat in Whitechapel on a broken 8-track reel-to-reel bought off eBay from an angry guy who threatened to shoot them and chop off their balls when they attempted to return it - a terrifying experience for a pair of skinny indie boys. Taking inspiration from Berlin-era Lou Reed, Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Darklands”, The Television Personalities and West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, the songs are breezy and easy on the ear, with sublime harmonies and chiming Byrdsian guitar, but with a darker twist and a pervasive air of melancholy. Stand-out tracks include the beautiful but sad “Summer’s Gone” (about mental illness), “Magazine” (an upbeat number written from the perspective of a bullet in the barrel of a gun) and “You’ll See” (about how when you die you’ll see everyone you know, all there lined up in a row).

With "Wooden Head", The Proper Ornaments prove that it is still possible to create an album of pure pop perfection. Max's girlfriend may not have stolen the boots, but The Proper Ornaments are about to steal your heart.

“The joint project of James and Max, through romantic drama that borders on that of The Libertines. And when you hear The Proper Ornaments you’ll see why it’s all worth it. It’s like they’re meant for each other, like Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts” - Loud & Quiet

Lyrics: 

Red eye and 
grey lung
Tonight we
Stay young
Can’t let it go
Can’t let it go
Can’t let it go

Chours:
I think I’m better, better off
When I’m drunk or high
Let our youth decline (tonight, tonight, tonight)

They stay so high, so high
They can see the world tonight
The city looks like starlight
They’re all twenty-something fed up
Liquor in their red cup
Baby they don’t give a fuck


Black light and
A pocket of ones
Tonight we
Dance for love
Can’t let them know
Can’t let them know
Can’t let them know

SOS - Youth in Decline

Chapter 6 - Funky Summer
 
I am waiting for you at Brasserie des Arts. Taking things slow while my heart is beating faster every day. A week has passed, gently like a summer breeze. A summer breeze with a hint of fire and Caron Poivre. I write some words on a blank page to still my staggering heartbeats.
 
I feel like a foreigner. With Faith in my heart I'm far from Bedsitland, my only home for oh so long. Now loneliness is denied. Our love is undefined, it's the reason why.
 
Bodies intertwined on dance floors, behind closed doors, as the sunbeams dance on the waves of the sea. I adore life as we know it. “We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.” I don't know why you want me. I don't know why you need me. And I don't care as long as you're here with me.
 
My train of thoughts stops. A bar somewhere has been playing classic soul tracks for a while and suddenly Tom Brock and "I love you more and more" is replaced by James Brown's Funky Drummer. Quite a contrast. I smile and think to my self that these two songs could be the soundtrack of my life right now. "Funky Summer" is the last word I write cause I can see you coming my way. Tonight I'm gonna take you dancing and I know just the place.

Folded Out

"For the Boy Who Moved Away" is from EDJ's forthcoming self-titled debut.

Out 8/5/2014 through Easy Sound Recording Company (www.easysound.co)

Of the new record, Eric says:

In January of 2014 I decided to sit down and write an album’s worth of songs all over the course of a few weeks, which is something I had never done before.

Some were done at home during an unseasonably cold Portland winter, some in Boonville, California (a town in the wine-and-weed producing part of Mendocino County where they also have their own language,’Boontling’), and some in Joshua Tree, a place where people have always sought inspiration.

It had always taken a long time for me to write songs – and when one would finally come to me I’d put some broad concepts down on paper, find a nice melody, and then let the listener decide what they might be hearing.

Well, these new songs all mean something, from my life and from my brain. Even the lines that may be somewhat enigmatic or metaphorical sounding to you directly correlate to my life, and maybe yours, too.

The puzzle of existence on “Minor Miracles.” Rebuilding a life in “West County Girl” and “Lose It All, All the Time.” A quite literal story in “For The Boy Who Moved Away” about moving away from L.A. to an uncertain future, the San Gabriel Mountains engulfed in flames in our rearview.

And that’s to name but a few.

These are not the “happy” songs that I’ve come to be associated with – no fully major chords, and lots of suspended chords and major sevenths to make things kind of emotionally ambiguous. There was no stylistic dogma in making this record, and I was ready to fold in every type of music I was into at the moment – Joni Mitchell, new age, early 80′s McCartney, Another Green World, film scores, Talk Talk, British folk, and modern stuff that’s got me excited.

I had a bunch of my favorite people come and join me on this. Sam Cohen, Brian Kantor, and Josh Kaufman (all of Yellowbirds and a million other bands) made up the backbone of the band in the early part of the tracking. And then there were appearances by people from all the different chapters of my musical life – Andy Cabic from Vetiver and Tim Rutili from Califone dropped by to add stuff. James Mercer from The Shins sang some gorgeous high harmonies, and Nathan Larson of Shudder to Think (also my sometime film score collaborator) laid down some drone-y guitar vibes. And of course Thom Monahan, my usual studio co-conspirator, was there to make everything
come together.

These are simple stories, some about losses, a few about disappointment and regret, but also of hope and perseverance. I hope you like these melancholy grooves and existential make-out songs. These all mean something to me, I hope they will to you, too.
