Nice job, never thought anyone will ever cover this song 😁

Third cover "Heartbeats" is offered by American indie rock band Stray Fossa composed of Nick and Will Evans and Zach Blount. Layered over a pulsing, nocturnal beat with interspersed live guitar and bass, the vocals are a shoegaze take on Dreijer's edgy original. Fans of the superb original by The Knife and José Gonzáles' cover may hear elements of each. With their next record, shaping up to be more electronic and beat driven than the first, this project offers a little preview of what's to come.

Stray Fossa - Heartbeats (The Knife)

“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.

Lyrics:

Last night I tried to call you on your telephone
You’re always asking me why I spend all of my time alone
After a couple of rings there’s a violent tone
And it echoes into the night, bouncing back off the ice

We could be lovers, you know
But we don’t need each other , like that
We could breathe new life into old lives
We could paint new colours into old fires

Barely 15 Minutes pass and I can feel this pulse
Like a beacon from a lighthouse turning me away from the land
Could it be you and you feel the same way I do
Could it be true or am I stuck in the blue and blue

Still I’m paralysed with fear and anticipation 
I don’t think we’ll make the year and I don’t think I could take the scare
Of losing you in every way, so I let those rings swing and feedback till forever ever ever...

We could be lovers, you know
But we don’t need each other , like that
We could breathe new life into old lives
We could paint new colours into old fires

Lyrics:

i wanna show you my vision
i think ya already know
theres a place that were going 
you can even go alone

you gotta make a decision 
ya gotta let it all go
don’t have to feel like your paralyzed
so baby take control

wrapped up 
in a feeling
locked up
in my head all the time

if you wanna real connection
if you wanna feel alive
gotta get out on the dance floor 
and boogie all the time
if you wanna change direction
if you wanna stay alive
gotta leave your way of thinking 
gotta boogie sometimes

wrapped up
in a feeling
locked up
in my head all the time X2

You don’t have to be lonely 
i think we’ll make it there soon
won’t you wipe of those crying eyes
theres more then tears in you
could you ever believe me 
is it to good to be true
i know you think that its dangerous
but babe just break thru

wrapped up
in a feeling
locked up
in my head all the time X2

You Don't Have To Be Lonely

Peace Out

A bite of papaya

Produced by David Pye.

Lyrics:
I wanted to be unknown, a stumbler into the fog
The path drew shy of complete, an ankle deep into the bog
I wondered, if you’d be there, laughing aloud, smug in despair
slump backward, in unison, I’ll harbour you, and lay you bare

love you, forever, dropped the ball, pick it up
phantom, in ether, everyones watching

love you, forever. have the gall, take the fall. phantom, in ether. everyones watching.

buckle up, and dive on down, don’t fear the fear you haven’t found

Phantom Mantra

One day I'll learn how to engage with Soundcloud 
Today is not that day 
Tomorrow's not looking good either 

Still love you, though
Enjoy this album
