Triptides - Shaman

Kkaash00-She Dont

How many times do I have to pass you by?
Tryna pretend that I’m ok 
Yeah, I’m just fine 

Wish you would stay awake
Not stay away 
Not stay away
Wish you would stay awake
Not stay away 
Not stay away

'Cause I’m too tired of hanging around
(Hanging around)
You left me 
Bleeding out all over the ground

I’m lost, You’re found
You’re lost, I’m found (x4) 

I walk through the town
Why’s it so loud?
(Why's it so loud, uh oh)
I think that my world’s been 
Turned upside down
(Turned upside down, uh oh) 

You’re a million miles away
But you’re still stuck in my head
(Still stuck in my head, You're still stuck in my head) 
I’m a million miles away
And I’m still stuck in my bed
(Still stuck in my bed, I'm still stuck in my bed) 

Cuz I’m too tired of hanging around
(Hanging around)
You left me bleeding out all over the ground

I’m lost, You’re found
You’re lost, I’m found (x4) 

Look what you've done
Thought this would just be fun
Look what you've done
Think I'm through just hanging around
Think I'm through just hanging around
Think I'm through just hanging around
Think I'm through just hanging around

Fictional Decision

Taken from Irma Vep's forthcoming LP 'No Handshake Blues', released January 13th 2017 via Faux Discx and Comfortable on a Tightrope.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Irma Vep is a loner, a joker, a roamer, a ribald construct riddled with both earnest anxiety and mercurial songwriting talent birthed by a young Edwin Stevens in Llanfairfechan, North Wales. Having since fully grown into Irma Vep and now residing in Manchester, Stevens' discography has expanded to document every aspect of his music, from ecstatically free group experiments to bare, sparse songwriting that cuts to the quick, shorn of ornament or pretence. No Handshake Blues is a homage to Llanfairfechan (Transylfechan to the locals).

Having bedded down into Manchester's bourgeoning DIY scene, Stevens moonlights in several other groups (Sex Hands, Klaus Kinski, Desmadrados Soldados De Ventura, Yerba Mansa…), bringing with him an instantly recognisable guitar language. However it's in Irma Vep that his most life-affirming, troubling and thrilling music is made. Much Irma Vep feels like what "classic" music should feel like if it weren't so Classic. Each record, each song and each performance exists as an evolving drama.

Edwin has toured the West Coast of America after being invited by Chris Johanson to play his Quiet Music Festival of Seattle and Portland. BBC 6 Music regularly spin his work. He tours the UK and Europe “butt loads”. Somehow he also finds time to run a tape label and put on gigs in Manchester under the ”Very Bon" moniker. Irma Vep performs solo, and also expands to a full band that includes Manchester legends DBH, Andrew Cheetham, Dave Rowe, Kiran Leonard and Dylan Hughes.

MISPERCEPTION

The Vacant Lots - Bells

Formed in January 2009, Girls Names quickly garnered recognition outside of the confines of their hometown of Belfast with the release of their eponymous debut EP in 2010 through New York's Captured Tracks. A mini-album through London imprint Tough Love soon followed, setting the foundations for their critically acclaimed debut LP "Dead To Me," released in April 2011, again by Tough Love in Europe and West Coast label Slumberland Records in the US. October 2011 brought the excellent "Black Saturday" single, a frisky slice of dark, driving pop. Earlier this year the band released "A Troubled See" as one side of a split 7" with Weird Dreams, also on Slumberland/Tough Love. "A Troubled See" startled with it's stark precision, pointing to a new direction.

Girls Names are now hinting at making their boldest and most exciting record to date. New single "The New Life" clocks in at over 7 minutes and takes you on a journey that mirrors the feelings of a band living and working in economy stricken Northern Ireland - the perfect soundtrack of the bleakness to where they exist. The B-side is a mesmerizing, dubbed-out JD Twitch Optimo remix of the single.

This year the band expanded to a four-piece and has spent the last six months in virtual seclusion honing and developing a more progressive and expansive sound, feeding on the darker sides of Echo and The Bunnymen, Spacemen 3, The Birthday Party and David Bowie's "Low" before heading off on a triumphant Spring/Summer European tour culminating on their biggest and most successful shows to date at the prestigious Primavera sound festival in Barcelona.

A new full length is currently being finished off but for now it seems Girls Names are intent on making a lasting impression with "The New Life." It certainly feels as though the band is ready to enter a new phase in their existence and the way they've grown and honed their sound shows that they're not afraid to take risks.

"The New Life" 12" is out now on Slumberland Records (North America)/Tough Love (Rest of World).
