i was robbed 
in the middle of the night 
i waited for you here
to say my goodbyes 

did they come 
did you see them there
did they tell you what to do
and where to go? 

could you teach me how to climb into my mind
and make it right?
i'll make the sacrifice 
into the skies

i'm running out of time
i'm running out of time

was it hard? 
does it make sense now? 
am i talking to myself
again today

i’m not scared 
you can show me how
i’ll being waiting for that hole 
to disappear 

could you teach me how to climb into my mind
and make it right?
could you teach me how to miss you 
before i 
i have to say goodbye
i'm running out of time
i'm running out of time
you're running out of time
we've run out, out of

Out Of

'Gimmicks' takes a cynical jab at the techniques employed by creatives in the modern world to gain attention. The angular post punk hey-day of the 80's inspires the instrumentation, as well as contemporary sounds absorbed in melbourne & whilst the band was abroad.

Recorded by Casey Harnett, mixed by Jeremey Giddings & Mastered by Joe Carra (crystal mastering)

NYC's Peel Dream Magazine dazzled listeners with their recent release "Agitprop Alterna," a smart album that draws from a wide set of post-punk, shoegaze and indiepop influences but still has an assured, unique sound. Now they're following up with "Moral Panics," a companion EP that features unreleased songs from the "Agitprop Alterna" sessions. Far from being outtakes, these are all songs that stand strong on their own, and gathered together function as a useful corollary to the album. Songs like "New Culture," "Verfremdungseffekt" and "Life At The Movies" continue Peel Dream's investigations into those frought areas where art, culture and commerce meet. Bristling with both ideas and solid tunes, the EP as a whole comprises a crucial piece of the band's discography.

Stop Shrinking

Young sad Lovers / Happy old Friends

Young sad lovers / happy old friends
Why are others better than them?
Honest promise / never forget
Why are others better than them?

Fragile egos, jealousy, hate
Are for others, not ready yet
Cut the flowers, before they can bend
Passionate lovers / households for rent

Chorus
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you my friend
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you so much
—————————————
Troubled marriage / troubled romance
We were different, we could withstand
Like young bold partners ready to dance
Facing each other with love for the past
…the future, the present, love that can last

Bridge:
Young sad lovers / happy old friends
We were waiting for Fridays, our evenings to spend
Honest promise / never forget
Why are others better than them?
(Why are lovers better than friends?)

Young sad lovers / happy old friends
We were waiting for Fridays, our evenings to spend
Honest promise / never forget
We were better than them, we were better than them

Chorus
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you my friend
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you so much
—————————————
Where are you, I missed you, my darling
Where were you, I missed you, my love
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where are you, I missed you my friend.
I missed you so much.

"Fast One" by Renée Reed
 From her self-titled record coming March 26, 2021 via Keeled Scales. 

Renée Reed grew up on the accordion-bending knee of her band-leading grandfather Harry Trahan; in the middle of countless jam sessions at the one-stop Cajun shop owned by her parents Lisa Trahan and Mitch Reed; soaked in the storytelling of her great uncle, folklorist Revon Reed and his infamous brothers from Mamou; and surrounded by a litany of Cajun and Creole music legends, both backstage at the many festivals of Southwest Louisiana and on the porch of her family home. 

And while Renée's music is certainly informed by these deep roots, her dark dreamlike folk has more in common with contemporaries like Cate Le Bon and Jessica Pratt. It's also not unlike the intangible magic contained in Mazzy Star's songs.

Renée Reed "Fast One"

From Dark Tea's Sophomore self titled album out in April on Fire Talk.

Dark Tea

Dark Tea - Highway Mile

Without their contribution to hold your sedan chair
You'd be plummeting to earth
Towards a ground now unfamiliar
Your life is like a monument to small achievements lost
That you'll never see in profile from a platform at the top

A taller tree will never reach its roots without a drop
And none would force the branches down for fear of getting knocked
Recognise the growth that cannot continue unstopped
In spite of much objection it cannot

So enthusiastic returning into frame
Smiling to camera
Never looking offstage
The audience is everywhere electric signals reach
You are a confident performer of words devoid of meaning

A taller tree will never reach its roots without a drop
And none would force the branches down for fear of getting knocked
Recognise the growth that cannot continue unstopped
In spite of much objection it cannot

A taller tree will never reach its roots without a drop
It's time to cut the branches back
All tangled up in knots
Recognise the growth that cannot continue unstopped
In spite of much objection it cannot

Taller Tree

Phantom Handshakes is a lo-fi, dream pop collaboration between Federica Tassano and Matt Sklar.
