You and I
Could find no water here
So in time
We fled with the fear

The thieving eyes
In the back of the room 
I was the color of the wall

In the night 
They tore apart the sky
You and I 
We couldn't hide inside the stars

The pessimist
In the back of the room
I was the color of the wall

Ancient Channels is a sonic expedition through the imagined past, present and future.

This new musical project from Brisbane has been materialised by Kelly Hanlon (Terra Pines/DEAFCULT) playing multiple instruments and supported by Chris Preindl  (Leavings, Vestiges, & Apparitions) on the drums which form the heartbeat of all the songs.  Influenced by  The Creatures, Warpaint, Beach House and more broadly retro-psych fi sound-tracks, post-punk and dreampop. 

The debut single Footprints In The Dark is an auditory patchwork that explores the interconnectedness of time and space. It weaves together hypnotic, heavy beats interspersed by guitar and synth melodies that are transcendental and provoke a sense of timelessness and wonder.

The dreamy and meandering vocals explore questions about the uncertainty of our future adding layers of melancholy and grief.

Footprints In The Dark

We are a country obsessed with apocalypse
And not just the religious fundamentalist variety
Our real flesh and blood sins
The slaughter of Native Americans
The enslavement of Africans
Our invasions of other lands 
Rest all too easily on the collective conscience 
 
The nuclear chain reaction that began in 1945 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Continues today in our hearts, in our minds and in our souls
We cannot stop it because we have never had a true national reckoning 

Turning what should be a normal fear of death into something larger
Uncontrollable menacing

(nothing to treat them)

Nothing to treat them

There is no reckoning no taking of responsibility

What Happens After

Nuestro cuarto LP es una seductora y siniestra interpretación de algunas historias de brujas y libros mágicos que han llegado a nosotrxs y se han condensado por medio de leyendas y tradiciones orales de las distintas culturas que hemos ido conociendo. Este compendio de cuentos y sonidos podría convertirse en su propio ritual para invocar a sus demonios personales y enfrentarlos en la oscuridad de cualquier noche de insomnio y ansiedad.
-------------
'Salamanca' es una evocativa obra que honra a todas aquellas mujeres que han sido asesinadas injustamente en épocas cuando las instituciones temían que el poder pierda su centro patriarcal. La Caza de Brujas es sin duda uno de los sucesos más nefastos de la historia moderna y, en este álbum, contamos algunas crónicas que buscan reivindicar la imagen de muchas mujeres etiquetadas de esta forma. Las letras son el resultado de una exhaustiva investigación que recoge elementos del folklore de varios puntos del planeta y absorben una inusual potencia y significado cuando la música se adentra en los pasajes más oscuros que hemos explorado en colaboración con diversas artistas de Latinoaméricana: una mezcla de darkwave, dreampop, poesía, magia y experimentación sonora. 'Salamanca' es una fiesta pagana, un aquelarre, una celebración y el cierre de un ciclo de 10 años de trabajo.

Volantia

A collab with Blinding Wave, who played guitar on the chorus.

Alone In Heaven (Feat. Blinding Wave)

Rain (album illustré) nous invite à explorer les sensations vives de la jeunesse à travers la quête d'un petit personnage, perdu dans l'immensité du cosmos. La palette de sonorités dream-pop, à la fois douces et scintillantes, résulte d'un travail sur setup minimaliste: un laptop et un micro.

Cuerpos Cósmicos tisse ensemble des mots, des images et des sons pour créer des histoires.

Music and instruments: Andy jossi
Vocals and lyrics: Jack Richard Sobel of Black Swan Lane

dreams turn gray (feat. jack richard sobel)

Taking influence from bands such as: The Cure, DIIV, Joy Division and The Chameleons. Archie Sager's debut album reflects on his life so far, combining Dream Pop and Shoegaze with Indie hooks and slowing down for more Ambient sections inspired by Eno.

This album is about the period between childhood and adulthood. Questioning yourself, meeting new people and finding a purpose all impose looming challenges. Whether it’s the fear of leaving “I Don’t Wanna Leave Home” the feeling of being stuck without a purpose “Finally Free” and “Stuck in the Void” or finding a guiding hand “I Found You.” The songs also pause on moments of peace “Beneath the Surface” and “Cherry Blossom” where the worries of the world don’t seem to matter. Archie Sagers’ debut album is about accepting change around you and enjoying experiences for what they are. I hope you can all welcome the steady march of time and experience a “Happy New Year”

Three singles from the album have been previously released (Beneath the Surface, Through the Leaves and Finally Free) with the second single being picked up by the spotify editorial team.

This album feels like a culmination of my life so far. Its filled my days during lockdown and is incredibly important to me.

Thank you all for a wonderful year (despite the pretty bad year the world has given us) - I'm extremely excited about the future of the label

"combines the driving bass lines of Peter Hook with the chilling guitar work of Robert Smith to provide plenty of post-punk energy, pulsating rhythms, and thought-provoking DIY psychedelic visuals" - WhiteLight WhiteHeat

Finally Free - "A blanket of synths trails this lovely adventure, ascending crisp cymbals and steady drum progressions beckoning groovy, bass line fixtures. Featuring a muffled voice lethargic and beaten through an infinite space of reverberation." - Anti: Music Review

Sunlight

All I want it to find truth
Something a curse won't undo

All I've wanted, won't be enough
Dying for more, hoping for more
All I've done here, just to give up
Dying for more - more

Running, finding a way to you
Lone, I can't help but think of you

All I've wanted, won't be enough
Dying for more, hoping for more
All I've done here, just to give up
Dying for more - more

Lone

LYRICS

Sometimes, we all wanna let it fall
Sometimes, we just gotta let it hit the wall

I'm falling, bleeding
Fake a smile and wave, I'll be fine again
Spinning out, fading now
Going down, we're going down

It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
Yeah it's all in my head

Angel, whisper in my ear
Tell me the things I need to hear
Just say something

I'm sinking, drowning
Hang up the phone when you know I'm calling
Crying out, screaming now
No one's around

It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
Yeah it's all in my head

It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
Yeah it's all in my head

All in my
All in my
Uh-oh
All in my
Uh-oh
Uh-oh
Uh-oh

It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
Yeah it's all in my head

It's all in my head
It's all in my head
It's all in my head
Yeah it's all in my head
