How's It Going To End?

Mae Karthauser's brand new album, August, is a collection of songs that were each written in one day, all within one month: August 2021. The songs were arranged for the trio of piano, flute and cello with three vocals, allowing for imagination and innovation to flourish. In the spirit of 1960s Laurel Canyon, these 14 songs were recorded in just 2 days as live performances at the Sorting Room Studio in Dartington, home turf for the musicians and a return to Mae's place of musical study. Simplicity and authenticity are prioritised over technical "perfection" to capture the vibrancy of these adventurous songs as they emerge from the ether and into the material world. The result is a raw, real, and relatable energy that carries the listener on a journey through many magical worlds.

03 - August - Accordion Song

2023 has been a successful year for the nomadic Irish artist which has seen his diverse synth-pop sound reach music lovers around the world. Following a unique interpretation of Johnny Logan’s 1980 Eurovision winner 'What’s Another Year' Keelan unveiled electro-pop banger 'Never Wanted
Nobody Else' in October.

Fast forward four weeks and Keelan is once again able to illustrate his chameleonic approach to songwriting, through the atmospheric single Fresh Paint. Hazy and nostalgic yet grooving and contemporary, Keelan seamlessly melds cinematic 80s soundscapes with sleek, modern electropop,
creating a reflective piece of work.

Providing an emotional inner landscape of Keelan’s view of modern life, the singer tackles themes of relationship misfires, boundary setting, self-discovery and defiance. The song’s title alludes to how we metaphorically paint over our own emotional landscape before quickly moving onto the next scenario.

Fresh Paint will be Keelan's final release of the year having already gained support from the likesof BBC Introducing Three Counties & Northants, RTE1, 2XFM, Today FM, The Vinyl District, Synthpoplover, Hot Press, Sunday Times, Side-Line Magazine and Electricity Club, The Keelan X Band debut headline gig is at The Workman's Club Cellar, 26/11/23.

Fresh Paint is out on 17th November 2023.

With creeping synths and hyper-conscious lyricism Dos Floris distils moments of life into sound waves.  In the wake of an emotionally charged separation, “Somebody Else” tackles the struggle to recenter oneself in a compassionate mindset after being deeply wounded by a partner acting out of their wounds. Instead of continuing the pattern of grasping at a futile relationship, the song expresses a will to forgive and move on.

Lyrics:
Drawing lines in the sand
that i can hardly say
reading faces under the sun
in the hope i can get a pun
while the daemons are here behind me
and I am putting my armour down...

Have i failed your love?
i am doing it all wrong
being the lonesome one
it's lonesome gone

the storm between you and me
blame meteorology
did i just spot a sudden blush?
you know, it's already been forgotten
wishing each other goodnight
and the wine from the south of France 

it's going to carry us on
how about one more glass?
before the night is around us
and the euphoria gone...
it's lonesome gone
into the sundown

every step back i take
no religion to be saved
Is just an own selfish god?
the only one i am aiming for....
Have i ever given my all?

gone
gone

i am doing it all wrong
and you are still giving your all
to the lonesome one
the awkward one
it's lonesome gone 
it's lonesome gone

Lonesome Gone

Brought you bags of dirt from that place where I worked
Before I was a jerk
Way back when we lived in Queens
Drove you to the beach with a trunk full of weed
Cocaine and LSD
And 3 more friends than were invited
Pulled consecutive all nighters
Stumbled naked out the door into a family of four
To piss in the street

You're a model, you're a goddess
And I'm only being honest
Cause I know I've got the confidence to take us where you want us
And the evidence is lacking
I'll admit it, but you're laughing
And you will be til I'm blacking out
And breaking shit and snapping at you
Bitch, you're such a whore
And then I won't remember anything tomorrow

I'm hosting poker night for the boys
Don't you like coming over here in spite of the mess that's never cleaned
Seven dudes, a dog, and a constant heavy fog of smoke inside the walls
We're distilling our own whiskey
And I know it's kind of risky
But I'm living on the edge and I'm using both my heads
To think for myself

Cause you're a bitch and you're a cheater
And I know I wasn't eager
To acknowledge our beleaguered little love
I'm just a history repeater
Guess I'll drink myself into an early grave because of you
It's just too late

You were the only thing that could have saved me
You were the only thing that could have saved me
I only followed you cause I was 33 and you were beautiful
The world was at your feet

You can take the man out of Florida
But you can't take the bottle out of his hand

Florida Man

For those lazy Sundays in...

Quay Beach Mix #181

No Deal Disco is the solo project of big southern softie, Sam Paul Robinson, who writes snarky guitar-driven songs about all the things that piss on his biscuits – namely wars, bigots and job hunting. Sam describes himself as a “passionate songwriter but reluctant frontman”. His lyrics are laced with nefarious left-wing concepts such as empathy, accountability and hope.
