Collabs

EP closer ‘Eden’ begins with a sonic dreamscape that makes good on the idyllic allusions of its title. Don’t get too comfortable though - as is so often the case in Middle England, there’s aggro and angst lurking behind those psychedelic sitars. 
 
Buoyed by some deliciously scuzzy guitar licks, ‘Eden’ soon curdles into another circuit-fried roller reminiscent of the most brazen and stylistically adventurous figures of the 90s - Garbage, Suede and Skunk Anansie to name a few. Plus, that chorus will do nicely on both the terraces and the mainstage.

The Lucky EP

Old Town Sound

Eden

character, combining dramatic and orchestral sounds with analog and digital synths, creating unique melodies, dreamy arpeggios and dancing techno grooves.

GetLostInMusic - Podcast #070 - Elena Kulstof

How green is your money?
Visit www.bank.green.com to find out how green your bank is.
lyrics
LYRICS:

Verse 1:
There's a bank on the high street that everyone knows
But have you ever wondered where your money goes?
Barclay takes your money and breaks the rules
Investing in climate-wrecking fossil fuels

Chorus:
Move, move, move your money
Find a greener bank
Cos it just ain't funny
It's easy to do, so do it now,
Take our flyer to find out how

Spoken:
Did you know that Barclays spends
£3 billion on coal power,
£18 billion on fracking?
£43 billion on expanding fossil fuels,
£1 billion on drilling, in the Arctic
£12 billion on off-shore oil & gas
and a massive £108 billion on fossil fuels!
WOW!

Verse 2:
Scrub, scrub, scrub we gotta get it clean,
It's the dirtiest bank we've ever seen
They pretend to be green,
But it just ain't true,
So scrub, scrub, scrub is what we've got to do

Chorus

Verse 3
We need to tell Barclays to stop this crime
And act right now cos we're running out of time
Oil, coal, gas, keep it in the ground
We've got to keep our children safe and sound.

Chorus

All income from this song will go towards paying for the recording and mixing session.
Any additional income will be donated to Indigenous Environmental Network, formed by grassroots indigenous peoples to address environmental and economic justice issues www.ienearth.org
This is because Barclays' investments have direct impacts on land defenders on the ground - tar sands, fracking, deforestation, etc.

PS Bonus ACTION: if you fancy getting active, there will be Barclays actions all over the country on the 14th of November. Sign up here: www.actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-up-for-nvda-with-money-rebellion

Memories: Live Jam from the Jungle ft. John Retno and Harry Affandi

This song was part of a creative communication assignment for my current MSc in climate science at the Centre of Alternative Technology in Machynlleth. It was inspired by the word"Unci Maka", which is a Lakota word and associated worldview meaning Grandmother Earth, the literal translation is "very ancient me". Many indigenous languages don't recognise a separation between us and nature as the English language does. 
Maybe this can point us to our role as nature, and deepen our connection, using our hands and hearts to heal together. 
You can have a look at the visuals that inspired by this track and maybe even get inspired yourself? There is an open call for submissions in the link.

X K.Sparks - Game for Two

From UK to South Africa to Austria to Germany to Hungary to France to Dubai to the Philippines and Indonesia... 
We all agree: NO GOING BACK 
Thank you sooooooo much to everyone who sent me videos and performed on this track.
LYRICS: 
1. 
WE can change the world overnight, 
Or so it seems
One day we're running busy
Next day we're in a dream
The planes stopped flying
The roads fell silent
The air smelled so sweet
And birds began to sing

2. 
This global crisis has begun to reveal
That this system don't
Serve you or me.
It serves.
Those who manipulate or hoard
If you're a psychopath you get a reward

3.
We've lost good people along the way
Feels like death is coming out to play
Let's not have let those people die in vain
Let's make a better future to resolve the pain

Chorus: Not going back, no going back, no no no no no no not going back

Middle England X Pandora's Diary X Off Peek X Modero B

Lockdown Loops is a collaborative project set up by Middle England to help keep us sane during these dark days of Lockdown. 

The rules are simple - a group of musicians start with a key, a set BPM and a single starter loop. From there each goes their own way and creates their own loops for the project - completely blind to everyone else's input.
