Songs We Like - September 2019

Fall 2019

Five Things We Liked This Week - 13/09/19

Another late one, but the usual format with rockier stuff up front, dancier stuff later on and some ambient/chilled stuff to end. Pick of the week is Winston Surfshirt's "Smile", just keeping the summer vibe going for that wee bit longer.

No list next week, because I'll be out and about.

Sep 06 - Sep 12 2019

Written, recorded and produced by Lupa J
Mixed by Tim Whitten
Mastered by Studios 301

From the second EP by Lupa J, 'My Right Name'.

Lyrics:

I close my eyes 
I drift away 
Feel my lungs
Rise and fall all on their own 
No longer anchored to my bones

I linger behind
And watch a pair of eyes
Scan a mirror
All on their own
Like breathing;
Like they know

In the glass she blurs
Like a doll,
Tossed and turned
And I wonder 
How much longer
I can just stand here
And observe

Take me by the hand
We’ll run away 
Till the world is far behind 
Find a land with an entry fee of a lost mind

Be free of this skin
And see the woman you never really wanted to be
Picking at yourself in the glass 
Your one last plea
Oh
Is that me?

Walk the city streets with the spying walls 
Where the blinking eyes have control 
Someone carved them deep into the sides of your skull 
It’s hard to fend them off when they’ve made the lights so dull

Tightening fists and twisted figures 
Pretty faces and broken mirrors:
Those ones you never trust cos they always seem to lie
When it’s really not you that’s staring back into your eyes

Oh
But is it really the mirror who lies?
Or am I
The broken one

Take me by the hand
We’ll run away 
Till the world is far behind 
Find a land with an entry fee of a lost mind

Be free of this skin
And see the woman you never really wanted to be
Picking at yourself in the glass 
Your one last plea
Oh
Is that me?

Oh
But is it really the mirror who lies?
Or am I
The broken one

Broken Mirrors

"Heart" is the debut single from Nashville artist Jessie Early, and the first track from her upcoming EP, Wild Honey, out March 31.

Drift through the stores
Keep the balance 
In through the doors
take your chances

Moth toward light 
Glowing windows
Drained of all fight
Surrender slow

Girls on billboards laughing
Silence, hysterical and lasting
Me, with my creased hands
They know I can't speak back from here

(Keep Out)

They sing, 
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you"
Up in their framed thrones
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you"
As I stand here skin and bone

Feel you close in
The years we froze
I'm still mannequin 
Break the windows 

A man in a car
The sirens echo
He looks on ahead
Like I'm not here

Girls on billboards laughing
Gloss and dress so sheer
Watch me start to wonder
If maybe I'm not really here

(Keep Out)

They sing, 
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you"
Up in their framed thrones
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you"
As I stand here skin and bone

lyrix:
ugly is my mouth, and the noise that it makes
harboured home sorrows long broiled in shame
and i weep for the cavern dead set in my face
i swallowed once a stone, and coughed up a disgrace
and now a widow all alone begs to me as she bleeds
a residual bitterness that i pick from my teeth
i watch embarrassment burn to ash at my feet
i’m ugly inside, and thats cool with me

you remain unnamed 
you remain unworthy 
autocrat of the amygdala
i hate it when you’re inside of me me me

Scottish Fiction are proud to present tonic youth, the brand new single from Glasgow four-piece wojtek the bear. tonic youth is the first of four singles being released by wojtek the bear during 2019, which will be collected on a limited edition 12” vinyl, old names for new shapes, in the autumn.

Coming straight off the back of their well received debut album, a talent for being unreasonable, Glasgow's wojtek the bear have wasted no time in getting back into the studio to furnish us with fresh music for 2019. Recording in the legendary Chem 19 with producer Jamie Savage [The Twilight Sad, Miaoux Miaoux, The Phantom Band, RM Hubbert], the band, with chiming melodies, pulsing bassline and swirling guitars, aim for that musical sweet spot between Camera Obscura's Lloyd I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken and Real Estate's It's Real.

Of the track, lead singer Tam Killean reveals; “When I first moved into Glasgow in my early 20's I quickly encountered people at parties I'd never been exposed to before; kids who'd never worked a day in their life, spent their summers in Val-d'Isére or Biarritz and all seemed to have fucking ponies. This song is about how initially on coming into contact with them I had a bit of a crisis of confidence, thinking that I'd wasted my life by just getting absolutely smashed from the age of 15 onwards.”

Earlier this year Stainwasher debuted with her EP ‘What Did I See’ and took listeners on a sonic journey through her deepest fears and emotions. In late August she returns with a new stunning track.

With her debut EP she quickly rose to be one of the most promising experimental acts in Sweden with support from critics around the world. The lead single ‘Joy For Me’ was crowned as one of the best songs this year by Belgian tastemakers HighClouds and the accompanying video was praised for its mystical yet calming nature. “I never question if presenting my music to the world was a good idea anymore, the feedback makes it all worth it.” She says about the response.

Listen: https://listen.feverish.club/drying

‘Drying’ is a natural step forward in terms of sound for Stainwasher. The synths soars through the track and cut straight to the point while the vocal melodies are delicately playful. This new material is also a heartfelt effort to make sense of both the good and bad in the world for Stainwasher herself. “I think people like to place things in categories in order to be able to cope with the abundance of information they receive every day, and I am no exception. The search for some kind of context might be as fundamental as eating or sleeping, that’s why many people never get satisfied with anything, but at least they're alive.” She explains further.
