Bat For Lashes - I Do

BARE

Produced by Aidan O'Brien

My love, where have we gone
Am I really worth it? Am I really gold?
My love, all of this space
I left the window open, so I could call your name

I'm sorry, sorry that you wanted more
I'm sorry that you didn't get what you came here for 
I'm sorry, sorry that you wanted more
I'm sorry that you didn't get what you came here for 

My love, don't stay
Don't you keep me with you, just to keep your place 
My love, don't stay 
You loved me far to tightly, but you'll let go some day

I'm sorry, sorry that you wanted more
I' sorry that I couldn't feel what you're fighting for 
I'm sorry, that you gave it all
I'm sorry that the better you give the harder you fall 

All my skin, I'm wrapped in
All I need

Sorry

Twin River - Settle Down

“I want to go anywhere and dream away” singer Karolien Van Ransbeeck whispers in ‘Summer Sun’, Few Bits’ luscious new single, taken from their sophomore album ‘Big Sparks’.  A pitch-perfect mix of  shimmering guitars, hazy vocals and loose but galloping grooves. Imagine Real Estate tackling Mazzy Star’s ‘Fade Into You’ at 45rpm instead of 33 1/3rpm and you get the picture. But there’s a lot more to this Antwerp based band. 

Debuting in 2013 with a self-titled debut album ‘Few Bits’ they immediately stole hearts of music lovers in Belgium and beyond. The band got invited to support the likes of Vampire Weekend and The War On Drugs and went on a UK tour with The Lemonheads. Gaining confidence on stage night after night is clearly reflected in the dynamic and full dreampop sound of ‘Summer Sun’ and the themes explored on the new album. 

Karolien’s songs about the shadow side of love, about longing for something that ultimately always remains just out of reach, and about finally having the courage to relinquish control come from a deeply personal place. “I always write autobiographically", she explains, "I'm not really interested in writing from someone else's perspective. A song doesn't just have to sound good, it also has to express exactly what I feel. Otherwise I'd rather throw it away. I don't come up with fiction. Every word, every comma, has to fit my head and my heart." 
Fresh from making their US debut at this year’s SXSW Festival, and just in time for the Canadian Music Week and The Great Escape, Few Bits is ready to win over hearts and ears all over the world with their new single ‘Summer Sun’

Join us on their trip and dream away.

—
we were at the bottom when we came acquainted 
festering in lifeblood, never in the sea with you
not leading into some grand idea
not moving into something i steered 
and we have no idea
if i could be your dying answer, i'm knitted up 
stop pretending we're yet to live it, we're overdone

I wanted you more than you could know
my toothpaste in pocket i'd see how it goes
i fastened it easy, i said all the right things
but i wanted you more than you did me

you wondered why i let you in, 
then forbade you in my stead
i wondered why you ever left, 
i loved you, i did love you my old friend
i'd taken back my promises, 
my decency fading into the wind
and i regret that you had left, 
i loved you i did love you so long friend

I wish I could heal 
All the pain in the world
The stitches are tearing    
One more crack and the dam will spill
I wish I could know 
Whenever the fever comes
Head cooked like an egg 
On the pavement 
In the blazing 
Arizona sun

If you leave before me	
Don’t you know 
I won’t be far behind
If you make your peace
Before me 
I won’t mind
Will you still decline
If I reach 
Out my hand 
To you

It’s hard to remember
How joy used to feel
Staring at the ceiling
Dreaming
Pretending
Happiness is real 
It’s all an illusion  
We’re made to kill and eat and fuck
There’s no heaven or hell waiting for us 
When we punch the clock

If you leave before me	
Don’t you know 
I won’t be far behind
If you make your peace
Before me 
I won’t mind
Will you still decline
If I reach 
Out my hand 
To you

If I Reach

Waitin - Single

Waitin

/// about /// 

*** the technique. It’s all about the selection.

Feines Elektronisches und tanzbare Indie-Tunes sind der Sound von 1MANDISCO. Dazwischen findet sich immer wieder ein Slot für sinnstiftende Novelty-Tracks und zu Unrecht fast vergessene Meilensteine der Dancefloor-Extase. Ein exzellenter Geschmack und das Gespür für die Stimmung der Crowd machen die Sache so rund wie eine 7-Inch. In jedem Set von 1MANDISCO stecken diese wahnsinnigen Floorfiller, Hooklines, von denen du noch am Mittwoch träumst, und nicht zuletzt die Vinylbeschaffungsstorys eines Plattensammlers, die du dir nicht ausdenken kannst.

Bleibt die Frage: Was will dieser Mann eigentlich beweisen? Na ganz klar: Der schönste Platz ist der Tanzfläche!
