„Augen vor dem Fallen“ fängt den einen Moment ein,
in dem Zeit aufhört zu zählen und Denken leise wird.

Zwischen Atem, Blick und Stillstand
verwandelt sich Lust in Sinnlichkeit
und Nähe wird zu etwas Unendlichem.

Kein Drama.
Kein Explizites.
Nur dieses eine Jetzt,
in dem Liebe lauter ist als Kontrolle.

Emosynth – intim, ruhig, tief.
Für alle, die diesen Blick kennen.

Augen vor dem Fallen

"From the stimulating intro on you’ll tap your feet, without even noticing it. This is the wake-up-call I want to hear when I can’t get out of my bed in the morning. You simply can’t resist this shot of adrenaline. This is what elevating pop is all about. Vitalizing, energizing, and galvanizing. In a normal world, this should be a global hit. Oh yeah, I feel quite euphoric and, trust me, you’ll have your heart beat as fast as mine after just one spin. Hopefully, we can all come out of the lockdown shadows pretty soon."

Out of the Shadows

Art-pop trio Oya Paya are set to make their long awaited return with a brand new 6 track mini-album ‘Connect’. The band are renowned across Liverpool for their unique blend of sounds from across the globe, drawing on inspirations from their varied countries of heritage (Singapore, France, Iran and England). The 6 track LP blurs the lines between alt rock, grunge and electro infused indie to create a sound as eclectic as the cultural roots of the outfit.

Happy

Moment Passed is the second single from Scottish folk-pop collective Randolph’s Leap’s forthcoming album Spirit Level.

“Moment Passed is basically about stress. I wasn't taking proper care of my physical or mental health and the lyrics are a mixture of wanting to change things in my life but simultaneously worrying I was too late. The original demo had deliberately over-the-top autotune on my voice which didn't go down well with the rest of the band [but it did prove the catalyst for my A.R. Pinewood robo-country spinoff album]! We threw a lot at the mix on this one. Pete played glass bottle percussion and everything. Oh, and there's nothing cooler than a cha-cha-cha ending.”

Spirit Level is an upbeat, melodic indie-pop album full of personality, catchy hooks and memorable lyrics, rich in textural, polyphonic arrangements, and capturing the infinite charm of Adam Ross, the leader of this 8-piece band.

As a core songwriter with a large ensemble, Adam Ross may draw comparison with Stephin Merritt or Neil Hannon, while mining the rich Scottish seam of Postcard Records and C86. And as with contemporaries King Creosote or Withered Hand, is unafraid of drawing on folk music’s story telling tradition, detailing the minutiae of life’s fluctuations, here packaged up in glorious, anthemic and energetic pop.

The titular ‘spirit level’ is a steady reference point over what had been an unsettled spell writing the album, with Adam Ross uprooting from a decade in Glasgow to a tauntingly lopsided house in rural Aberdeenshire, navigating his way through shifting phases in his well-being and happiness, and reflecting on the untimely death of two greatly admired acquaintances. That balancing act came in the form of music, in an optimistic, even celebratory, collection of songs.

Recorded over a period of a year in Glasgow with keyboard player Pete MacDonald engineering, mixing and producing the sessions at home, the album went off to mastering in the nick of time: the following night Pete’s flat went Up In Smoke in a massive fire, taking everything bar Pete (and his pet hedgehog, Frida) with it.

Randolph’s Leap started out as a pseudonym for the solo output of Adam Ross, and now includes up to 8 people in the full live band. The debut Randolph’s Leap album, Clumsy Knot, came out in 2014, with another four live and studio albums and a handful of singles across labels Fence Collective, Olive Grove Records and Lost Map. In 2018 a touring theatre show called The Isle of Love was devised around the songs of Randolph’s Leap.

They’ve recorded several Marc Riley sessions, performed at Green Man, T in the Park, Indietracks, and The Edinburgh Fringe, and have toured with The Burning Hell and James Yorkston. 
The Randolph’s Leap name is taken from a scenic location on the River Findhorn.

Randolph’s Leap are Adam Ross (songs, vocals, guitar), Adam Armour-Florence (drums), Ali Hendry (trumpet), Andrew MacLellan (guitar), Fraser Gibson (trombone) Heather Fox (violin), Pete MacDonald (keyboards) and Vicki Cole (bass).

Song by Pale Moon 

Hand is holding empty glass 
Music playing not for us 
I don't even recognise 
you in your eyes 

All these cold and lonely nights 
I was trying different masks 
now I'm naked with my pride 
nothing left to hide 

How you left your guitar 
Blue sunset of love 
in the middle of the road 
we stop
in the middle of the road 
but I feel kind of cynical 

I will definitely find 
If I only had more time 
falling stars in the sky 

All the plains are passing by 
All the smoke I breath in 
If I could only make you happier 
if I 

How you left your guitar 
Blue sunset of love 
In the middle of the road 
We stop
In the middle of the road, aahh 
In the middle of the road 
but I feel kind of cynical 

How you left your guitar 
Blue sunset of love 
In the middle of the road 
We stop
In the middle of the road, aahh 
In the middle of the road 
but I feel kind of cynical
