This one reminds me of the early M83, which I love <3

Oh thanks :) There are quite a few other 'non published' songs we have that have a M83 feel. Dead Cities... /Before the Dawn.. big influences.

A laceration gaped in her chest, through which fragments of ribs could be seen

First track from the “Inner Space” LP released May 2022

Amygdalae

The Curtain Society - Inertia. Released in 1994 on Bedazzled Records. By covering the Chameleons' "Swamp Thing" at a New York show prior to the release of Inertia, Southbridge, MA's the Curtain Society made obvious what this debut LP suggests: here's a band with fine taste in early/mid '80s effects-laden, big-hearted rock, with emotional flourishes, pumping bass, majestic guitar, and brave drumming. Perhaps guitarist Roger Lavallee's vocals are more plaintive than such antecedents -- his gentle, boyish cooing is more in line with the Sarah label bands, For Against, and the Pale Saints -- but this kind of ambitious, non-pretentious, power-packed scope and billowing sound is damn welcome in '90s America; i.e., Inertia takes pride in going against the gratuitous grunge grain. www.curtainsociety.com

Waiting for you by the bridge
Where we almost kissed
But never did
We never did
I'm just trying to think of how to tell you
I think of you endlessly
I spend so much time musing
About you and me

Maybe I shouldn't have waited so long
To tell you these things
But I'm quite sure I'm in your thoughts too
The way that you hold your gaze
A second too long
Waiting for you by the bridge
Waiting to tell you something
That you probably already know but I
Want you to understand
There's no one out there for you
No one else for you but me
Your friends even said you'd be
Perfect for me

Waiting for you by the bridge
Where we almost kissed
But never did
We never did
I'm just trying to think of how to tell you
I think of you endlessly
I spend so much time musing
About you and me

I don't want to go back home without you
Letting me know
If you really want to cross the bridge
And stay with me by my side
At least for a while
Meeting you down by the bridge
Meaning to tell you something
That I've probably already shown but I
Want you to know that I care so much more about you
Than just being friends with you
I've waited so long

Waiting for you by the bridge
Where we almost kissed
But never did
We never did
I'm just trying to think of how to tell you
I think of you endlessly
I spend so much time musing
About you and me

I think of you endlessly

Waiting for you by the bridge

On the third floor of an abandoned textile mill to the north of Preston, a wave of strange musical beauty is blossoming. Brought up on the sounds of 80s Manchester though too young to have experienced it first hand, White Flowers, made up of Katie Drew and Joey Cobb, make gloriously gothic dreampop that’s as ambiguous as it is beautiful and exciting.

On 15th January 2020, the duo release Night Drive the first track from their debut double A-sided single Tough Love Records which also features the track Portra.

Co-produced by Doves’ guitarist, Jez Williams, Night Drive’s guitars carry a Kevin Shields-esque drone, as they swirl above its fragmented arrangement. Apocalyptic in nature, it twists and turns - thematically covering anxiety, fragility and frustration, while reminding that, even in the lowest of moments, one should not lose hope. 

‘Creating and crafting the songs has always been a therapeutic outlet for us,’ Cobb stated. ‘It’s been a long process, but it’s been one which has helped us deal with the frustration, worries and difficulties that come with every day life. It’s definitely a very cathartic record. It serves as a kind of journal of growing up and maturing in the 21st Century.’

Having begun life as scraps of ideas on a laptop, the songs were carefully crafted by the pair, before Williams got on board. 

‘At times, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture when you’re so involved in the song,’ Drew noted. ‘Jez was great at drawing out the most important aspects. A lot of the songs are first takes - recorded at home in a very lo-fi way, but Jez gave us confidence. He made us realise that the rawness and the accidents are where the magic is. As fans of Doves, we’ve always admired the soundscapes and sampling techniques that they use, so it was a privilege to work with him.
Prior to the release, White Flowers will be heading out on tour with Toy to celebrate Independent Venue Week. The dates are as follows:

25.01.20 – Independent – SUNDERLAND
26.01.20 – The Live Rooms – CHESTER
27.01.20 – The Boileroom – GUILDFORD
28.01.20 – The Cookie – LEICESTER

20.01.20 – Esquires – BEDFORD
31.01.20 – The Joiners – SOUTHAMPTON
01.02.20 – Ramsgate Music Hall – RAMSGATE

The double A-side single, Night Drive / Portra will be released on 12” vinyl on February 14th and is limited to 100 copies. It comes in a hand stamped sleeve and includes a ‘zine produced by the band. The band’s debut album will be released later in 2020.

Formed in 2016 by Sean Kwon and Hanna White and later joined by Casey Mullen and Skyler Skjelset (Fleet Foxes, Beach House, The Walkmen), Yeah Baby is a rock band from New York City.

Recorded at Figure 8 Studios in Brooklyn, New York, Neptune Hotel is the band's first collection of songs written from 2016 to 2019. The album was mixed by Skyler and mastered by Simon Scott (Slowdive), with album artwork by Azuma Makoto (floral work) and Shunsuke Shiinoki (photography).

The title Neptune Hotel was taken from a rather mysterious hotel of the same name across the street from the apartment that Hanna and Sean resided in while writing the material for the record, where the haunting glow of the light-box on the facade of the hotel illuminated their rooms at night. Inspired by the building while never having stepped inside, Hanna and Sean imagined a world in which the songs of the album are lived out. The result is an eerily beautiful stay in that dreamy space, an exploration for the duration of the record to find beauty and hope amidst a chaos of anxiety, frustration, and desperation.
