A GOODNIGHT STOKER Story

This song was originally written for the album but I never quite finished it in time so I had to hold it back. With the album out I finally managed to get it together and really wanted to push it out to finally finish the STOKER story. thank u :))

lyrics:
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion

I think we've seen too much 
And when we talk it's like another loss
So dark and it's hard to find you 
We can't seem to find a way through 
And I wish that it was different 
Lies don't know how to spin them 
Loud it's so loud
I'm breaking down
You'll come around 

Caught up in your web spinning 
I don't wanna get it 
Cursed with the gift of sight 
Don't wanna hear it 
Children are wicked 
And the sky got no stars 
When the lights go out 
I'm gonna tear you apart 
So you
 
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion

Don't wanna be another victim to religion 
We've held too many hands to just listen 
I don't wanna see I don't wanna speak 
I don't wanna see not even a peak 

Take my body take my bones 
Take the blood out of my nose 
Take my soul and everything that is crumbling 
Yeah
I keep asking what you know but it's clear that you don't 
I've got concussions from fumbling 
Oh my god what's wrong with me 
Yeah I asked for this but I can't be seen 
With this dry mouth red eyed silicon face 
And this new devil singing in my ear 
There's no space for me to breathe me to grieve 
Wanna bleed on this track 
Take my eyes I'll be fine 
Please just never give 'em back

Children are wicked and the sky got no stars 
When the lights go out I'm gonna tear you apart 
So you

Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion

Don't wanna be another victim to religion 
We've held too many hands to just listen 
I don't wanna see I don't wanna speak 
I don't wanna see not even a peak 
Caught up in your web spinning 
I don't wanna get it 
Cursed with the gift of sight 
Don't wanna hear it 
Children are wicked 
And the sky got no stars 
When the lights go out 
I'm gonna tear you apart 
So you

Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
I don't wanna be a victim to religion
Better wake up now
And spit on all the riches
Rain come down when I shoot the witness
Hang me high without a question
(Victim)
I don't wanna be a victim to religion
(To you)

Ay 
Be your victim 
(To you)
Ugh Ugh 

Take my body take my bones 
Take the blood out of my nose 
Take my soul and everything that is crumbling 
Yeah
I keep asking what you know but it's clear that you don't 
I've got concussions from fumbling

New York duo Frog (brothers Danny & Steve Bateman) return with their fifth album “Grog.” This collection of gorgeous Indie Americana is full of the nostalgia, hope, defeat and lust that earned previous singles “Judy Garland” and “You Know I’m Down” several million streams on Spotify.

Eclectic and wildly creative, this fully realized LP veers from the gorgeous grooving funk of “Black on Black on Black” to the classic pop of “Maybelline” before “New Ro” exemplifies the “gothic and cartoonish” characteristics that songwriter Daniel Bateman describes his latest work with.

“Grog” will be released both CD and digitally on November 17th and launched with a performance at YoFi Fest 11 (Yonkers, NY) which accompanies a screening of their “Kings of Blah” documentary.

Artist Quote:

“There are really exciting places we were able to get to on this record, places that I didn’t know existed before I found them. It feels both gothic and cartoonish to me, big gargoyles, dark skies, storms, but the statues are of ‘Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.’ Every song is a step deeper into the abyss.” - Daniel Bateman (Frog)

Previous Support: NPR / BBC Radio 1 / BBC 6 Music / TLOBF / CLASH / Gold Flake Paint / London In Stereo / DIY Mag / Various Small Flames / IMPOSE / Cereal & Sounds / For the Rabbits

Spotify Stats: 9.5 million streams / 78k monthly listeners (Oct 16th 2023)

Press Quotes:

“I was taken aback by its apparent simplicity; a simplicity that at first masked a wealth of subtle nuances, wry homages, and nostalgic narratives that were enough to make listeners lament growing up anywhere other than suburban America.” – The Line of Best Fit

“Locked between the unstoppable force of self-deprecation and the immovable object of the American Dream.” – Various Small Flames

“A subtle, stunning triumph.” – For the Rabbits

“Utterly brilliant...they make you nostalgic for memories you never had and take you back to places you’ve never before been.” - London in Stereo

Blame MASTER

Swedish three-piece Spunsugar is releasing new track "San Jose", the third single off their upcoming new album "A Hole Forever", with forthcoming sophomore album due to release on 17th November 2023.

Pre-order vinyl album here: adrian-recordings.myshopify.com/products/…nyl-album

”This song is an homage (and sort of a response) to the Dione Warwick song "Do you know the way to San José" (1968). This is a song about dreams, mainly, broken ones. About pumping gas for the people who achieved theirs. Fittingly, this song has a beachy indie vibe paired with a grungey sound. It lulls you in with a crisp coolness, and then hits you with a distorted riff that chugs away under breathy shoegaze vocals”.

Spunsugar - San Jose

All I Die For

Confused Anger

After the death of the patient, the narrator feels a deep seeded anger towards the world and the natural process. He expresses his desire to make other feel his pain so he does not feel alone.

I’m this high energy track, you can feel the emotions build but never resolve, waiting for the levee to break.

———————————————————————————

We wrote this song very early 2022. One of the last additions to the album I believe. Mekkhi wrote the riff and the song just came together by itself pretty much. The solo was a complete last minute addition. We recorded it the day before the song was mastered and released. This song is one our fan favorites and for good reason. Playing it live seems just as fun as watching it live. (Man I wish I could sit in the crowd)

-Shayne

Where Did You Go?

The drive doesn’t end when the picture is taken. It keeps going.

This album lives in the moments after memory settles. Late-night highways, empty gas stations, radios left on for comfort, and the slow realization that not every journey needs a destination. These songs aren’t about heartbreak at its loudest. They’re about what comes after, when the noise fades and motion becomes its own kind of healing.

Built around warm analog textures, steady rhythms, long instrumental passages, and restrained vocals, this record is meant to be played start to finish. It’s music for driving without urgency, thinking without spiraling, and letting the road carry the weight for a while.

If you connected with Polaroids of a Moving Car, this is the world it leaves behind.

Put it on. Keep driving.

Telepathic war

Palm Ghosts is a band based in Nashville TN

Taking cues from such bands as Cocteau Twins, Peter Gabriel, Echo and The Bunnymen, New Order, early U2 and The Cure, Palm Ghosts takes the sounds of early 80s alternative music and brings it into the new millennium.

"Palm Ghosts is a heat-seeking missile for fans of early alternative" -SPIN Magazine

“Elegant and Sweeping Pop” - The Key, WXPN, Philadelphia

“A stirring mix of folk writing with electronica-tinged production…Electronically magnetic and emotionally heartfelt.” - ATWOOD Magazine

“The commodified and codified 80’s are here to stay, from the fake consciousness pop culture nostalgia that dominates the virtual shopping aisles to recreated and reimagined movie memories that manipulate and skew the present. Saddled with the past, culture’s inertia offers up facsimile pap and xerox rock. However, hope exists, listen as true light continues to glisten, appearing through the cracks and haunting the NOW are Nashville’s Palm Ghosts.” -MUSIC NEWS UK

“Made in the USA during the 2020 quarantine Lifeboat Candidate has antecedents in Peter Gabriel’s third 1980 solo album, The Cure’s Three Imaginary Boys and the early I Will Follow/11 O’clock Tick Tock-era U2 but filtered through a modern American sensibility to reflect on the worries and horrors of the modern world.” - WE ARE CULT

“Blind is a gorgeous, tribal-infused track with equal hints of Peter Gabriel, The Teardrop Explodes, and Gang of Four.” - POST PUNK.COM

“Achingly beautiful, fragile and majestic music. An intoxicating mix of Shoegaze and Dream pop, taking from the 80’s but not in debt to it.” - ANALOGUE TRASH
