Ignore the pollution .

Cool morning 
Take me away,  I’m tired of today
Smooth driver
Get outta town , Turn me around 

I’m cracking up while I’m  just cracking jokes 
My minds made up there’s nowhere else to go
ignore the pollution 

I feel lighter 
But Only in dreams , I don’t care what it means 
Heavy hunger 
I can’t really choose , I guess I’m old news 

I’m cracking up while I’m  just cracking jokes 
My minds made up there’s nowhere else to go
I’m cracking up while I’m  just cracking jokes 
My minds made up my minds a cloud of smoke  
ignore the pollution 

Ooooh

The shadows in time challenge my/kind(ness)

Ignore the pollution

She Changes The Weather

Lyrics:

All the pills are drying me out
You gave me hope but turning me down
All of you here but never around

It’s alright
I will carry on
In my sweetest tone
Sometime I wish you could just
Wait for me

All the jeans are wearing me out
You built me up now tearing me down 
You showed me love now loving me out

It’s alright
I will carry on
In my sweetest tone
Sometime I wish you could just
Wait for me

It’s alright
I will carry on
In my sweetest tone
Sometime I wish you could just
Wait for me

My Sweetest Tone

Spin Cycle
 
It’s been a long time since you washed your clothes. The pile of laundry in your bedroom creeps further towards you every time you hurl another sweat-filled sock at it. Two, three weeks now? Excuses keep flowing. 
 
‘I don’t have time.’ 
‘Fabric softener is too expensive.’  
‘Those pants can be reused.’
 
You shouldn’t reuse pants. You know you shouldn’t reuse pants. 
 
A month of non-washing passes and it becomes too much. Some of your family aren’t talking to you anymore. Your partner’s eyes are starting to wander. Even your milkman has shunned you. 
 
You do the right thing - book a half-day off work - and do some laundry. 
 
Click goes the door of the washing machine and it’s off. You stand back, impressed with yourself. 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
Slowly at first, a warm feeling of bliss starts to grow and envelope the soul. 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
Gone is the nausea! Ridden are you of the guilt, the embarrassment, the social pariah-status! 
 
Round and round and round, it goes. 
 
HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!
 
Round and round and round, it goes.

Lyrics:

You don’t need to come over
Cause I don’t need to rest my head on your shoulder
And I don’t wanna hear the phone ring
I’ll read the message that you left me in the morning

I’m so terrified
So I’ve been staying awake all night and I know
I need to confide
Cause I’ve been avoiding you
It’s easier than the truth

Wish your love was good enough
Wish it didn’t hurt so much
Tired of wishing it was anyone but you
Don’t want to make this worse
Still I have to say the words
If I don’t feel the way I used to
I should lose you
I should lose you

Now you don’t need to save this
Cause I still feel the way I feel when I replay it
And I just wanna say I’m sorry
I fell out long before you ever said you love me

I’m so terrified
So I’ve been staying awake all night and I know
I need to confide
Cause I’ve been avoiding you
It’s easier than the truth

Wish your love was good enough
Wish it didn’t hurt so much
Tired of wishing it was anyone but you
Don’t want to make this worse
But I have to say the words
If I don’t feel the way I used to
I should lose you
I should lose you

You deserve somebody else
They're your heaven, I’m your hell
You deserve somebody new
Someone that wants you

Wish your love was good enough
Wish it didn’t hurt so much
Tired of wishing it was anyone but you
Don’t want to make this worse
But I have to say the words
If I don’t feel the way I used to
I should lose you
I should lose you

I Should Lose You

Gimme Gimme - Day Drinking (Lyrics)

Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 Night scheming that my dreams will come true
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 
 Am I hooked on wishful thinking
 Did you wink or were you blinking
 Champagne glasses almost chinking
 Got a bike we could be could be dinking
 
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 Night scheming that my dreams will come true
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 
 Package up my heart
 And throw around the parts
 Cos you don't have to handle with care
 How do I keep myself in check
 When I'm training like a wreck
 Come join me for some truth if you dare
 You've blown away my mind
 Just like a dandelion
 I'm scattered by the wind of desire
 How do I keep myself together
 When I'm floating like a feather
 And I never ever thought I could fly
 
 Are you keen or are you tricking
 Cos my love's ripe for the picking
 Time goes slowly heartbeat ticking
 Now I'm stuck cos you're not sticking
 
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 Night scheming that my dreams will come true
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 
 Package up my heart
 and throw around the parts
 cos you don't have to handle with care
 How do I keep myself in check
 when I'm training like a wreck
 Come join me for some truth if you dare
 You've blown away my mind
 Just like a dandelion
 I'm scattered by the wind of desire
 How do I keep myself together
 When I'm floating like a feather
 And I never ever thought I could fly

Day Drinking

From the 'Once Upon A Bombshell' single on Matinée Recordings.

Once Upon A Bombshell

Northern Portrait - Once Upon A Bombshell

The song shares a story of longing for love as told through the eyes of a stuffed animal.

Grand Prize

After delighting so many with his impressive ‘Good Dog’ EP in September last year, which went onto find support from Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1) and Zane Lowe (Apple Music 1), as well as being curated on Spotify playlists like ‘Fresh Finds’, ‘Melomania’ and ‘Garden Indie’, fast-rising artist Trunky Juno returns to deliver his first piece of new material for 2022, the vibrant new single ‘Oxford English Dictionary’.

Continuing his venture through the rich and woozy realm of the psych-pop sound, ‘Oxford English Dictionary’ offers up yet another wonderfully infectious delight from the Newcastle native. Brimming with fresh and sun-kissed textures, a sweeping atmosphere, and his own captivating vocals at the helm, he is kicking off the next phase of his career with one of his most loveable offerings to date.

Speaking about the new offering, he said, “I still find it difficult to spell Mississippi, but I did manage to write a fun song. It's a hooky Alt-Pop that will confidently power walk you straight back to the Trunky Superstore for more Trunky. Oxford English Dictionary was one of those tracks that sounded great as soon as I made the demo, lot's of those parts made it into the final version because they're so full of that sense of initial inspiration.”

Behind a well-established moustache and deadpan inclinations, North Eastern indie maverick Trunky Juno resides within his own sphere of off-kilter artistry. Known for his masterful lyricism, warped sounds and bold ideations, the Durham native brings a spritely disposition to the alternative music scene, twisting the mundane into something entertaining. Now backed by a diverse and relatable repertoire, the zany universe of Trunky Juno is beginning its glorious expansion. 

The original dream was to be a Backstreet Boy, a far cry from his current musical positioning. However, in some metaphysical way, we can all agree that Trunky Juno is their sixth unofficial member. Truly a musician who’s done it all, he is a name well-known to his locale having cut his teeth in many a jazz, punk and indie bands. Elsewhere inspired by the 90s slacker rock of Weezer and Beck, as well as the psychedelic tendencies of The Flaming Lips and quirky offerings of Mac Demarco, Trunky Juno finds no better way to spend his time than spinning idiosyncratic tales of our society and the pop culture that engulfs it, covering every corner of our sonic landscape. 

Outside of his attributions to the alternative music scene, Trunky Juno is an avid admirer of all forms of creativity, oft finding beauty in the abstract, be it his deep-rooted love for professional wrestling, 80s horror films or sculpting plasticine expressions onto hard-boiled eggs. He says, “I always wonder what it would be like to hear music without knowing anything about music, and that’s what I like about other art forms. I like that I know nothing about them and I can just appreciate them in a more abstract way without thinking about the gritty details.”

Trunky Juno’s new single ‘Oxford English Dictionary’ will be available to stream from the 29th June 2022 via Silent Kid Records.

Something in the darkness dwells
Like voices from your insides squall
Buried deep in shame, and regression
God’s rejected ones
Shade beneath my cast of faith
Tremored ground attest my strength

I know the plan for God’s rejected ones

Ash in hearth, I seek your shelter
Storming, rushing, bounding, assailing me
Entering my spine and crawling out my palms
The spirit is now ascending me
Commanding motion
Don’t fight, infernal eyes don't lie

Faith is learned or not realized

Something in the darkness dwells
Like poison on your lips, the sickness swells
The devil never comes if you don’t believe him
The curse relinquished
Scepter come, incarcerate
Where I'm captive, I am safe

I know the plan for God’s rejected ones

Ash in hearth, I seek your shelter
Storming, rushing, bounding, assailing me
Entering my spine and crawling out my palms
The spirit is now ascending me
Urging devotion
Don’t fight, infernal eyes don't lie

And nothing ever comes if you won’t believe it
