////////////////

If only
I could catch up to the person that I thought I would be
Getting used to the bad news 
 
Cause by now
Thought I’d buy my mom a house or my dad a spaceship
So we could float around

See it from this view 
Lift my head from the screen
And fix my posture too
Still can’t tie these shoes
Ran a mile to fall down
Before the finish
First to know but last to understand

Open your eyes, your eyes
Wish I had a theme
Something to keep me up at night
Sure I got a life I love
But it don’t feel like mine
Words I try dissolve
Before my tongue can reach the line
Words I can’t define
 
Been waiting
Wishing that the wheels of change would move a little quicker
Don’t mix up your faith with mine
 
In Philly
Khazi took a train downtown to hear me singing off key
Thought I’d be more than this 
 
Crawling to the moon
To plant our flag in the scene  
But I’ve been failing you
Scared to leave my room
In the prime of my life
And feeling finished
  
Open your eyes, your eyes
Wish I had a theme
Something to keep me up at night
Sure I got a life I love
But it don’t feel like mine
Words I try dissolve
Before my tongue can reach the line
Words that I don’t
 
Hear me out
Don’t hang your head down

First To Know, Last To Understand

Lyrics:

I can’t forget you, I don’t try 
To undo the latch of a hook and eye 
I know I said I didn’t want you to stay the night
But it doesn’t really matter because 
everything you do is golden

I can’t forget you, I don’t try
Can’t unhear the voice of a Lorelei 
I dive into the wake, mystified

And nothing ever shatters 
Because it’s just my time, and I’ve got plenty

Your eyes were bright like the diving rings
My grandmother threw into the pool 
When I was a child

I can’t forget you, I don’t try
Can’t unhear the voice of a Lorelei
I dive into the wake, mystified

Two splintered halves of a Gemini

"Into The Wake, Mystified" by Night Palace

The songs on Things That I Confuse pretty much wrote themselves in a frenzy. Still, they sound more Spunsugar than ever. It's still as timeless and nostalgic as it is fresh. The four songs consist of two more poplike tracks and two that have kept the more noisy aggressive sound that has become a staple of the band. Now there's an added layer of an icy lo-fi feel. References to giallo films and Japanese movie monsters work to tell stories of close relationships, trauma and regret that keeps one up at night. Every second is though trough, there's no unnecessary fluff. Every note serves a purpose on this EP.

Since 2018, Copenhagen-based Atomic Blue is a band attracted by dreamy atmospheres. To announce their upcoming album However Many Days, the group has chosen to present a nostalgic but dancing indie pop track. With their hypnotizing voices, Atomic Blue enchants their fist single ‘Disco Baby’. Punctuated by a groovy bass, soaring guitars and disco keys, they turn the song into a real indie disco anthem.

Lyrics: 

It’s hard to know if this is real 
When I am constantly alone 
Scared of everything I feel 
This body hardly feels like home 
People say that time’s a healer 
But time alone is the salt rubbed in my wound Can’t pin the blame on anyone boutonniere Will I be far too gone far too soon 
We raise our glass to different gods To bless the poison we suck down Celebrating our decay 
Rushing down into the ground 
I’m a surgeon with a shaky hand 
I’m a dream that didn’t go as planned I’m a toy that’s been recalled 
I’m a vase that’s had a fall

"Boutonnière" by Honyock

Lieve is the title track from the long-awaited second LP by British electronic music producer Holy Other. Emerging from an extended stay at Bidston Observatory on the Wirral, Lieve was recorded throughout 2020 in the North West of England.

Using the acoustics of the observatory — the cavernous basement and the geometrically-perfect wooden domes — Holy Other recorded and resampled material that would become the bedrock of Lieve.

A marker in the sand as his first output since 2012’s critically acclaimed Held, these recordings — including the voice of NYX’s Sian O’Gorman, violin from Simmy Singh and saxophone from Daniel Thorne — were cut, manipulated and pieced together to form Lieve.

The title track single Lieve breaks almost a decade of silence, finding the language to articulate painful feelings, exhaling, and moving forward.
