Lyrics

I fall back into my teens
Whenever I get close but

You don’t feel like home
To me anymore
You don’t feel like home
But you did once and if time stood still

I’d wait for hours for a glimpse of those child like chills
But all the things i’ve said move further from my mouth

You don’t feel like home
To me anymore
You don’t feel like home
When I fall backwards

You’re no more than births and funerals
You’re no more than all I’ve been
Where there once was grudge there’s now peace and a sense of end
I’ll mourn your gradual death but cherish every breath

You don’t feel like home
To me anymore
You don’t feel like home
When I fall backwards
You don’t feel like home
To me any more
You don’t feel like home
But you did once

You Don't Feel Like Home

HYPE MACHINE is the fourth and final single dropped from YVA's upcoming debut EP by the same name. It is a prayer, a satirical sacrifice to the new gods of social media.

YVA cites Radiohead, IRAH, Massive Attack and early Fever Ray as her main inspirations for HYPE MACHINE, drawing from her love of drama and soundtracks to form an EP that is unrelenting in its approach of truth and meaning in a life that's gone fully virtual.

margaret your boy is afraid
sling the arrows of the foxtails
over the hedgerows 
see how he's made
see how he runs
off down to be the first for the funeral buffet

sweet william you're done for

margaret your boy is a liar
says the thunder of the church bells
lies like a bronze roof
under the sky
it hangs in the air
like a terracotta nightmare over us all

sweet william you're done for

son
wherever you go
there's someone 
who will notice the colour of your soul
don't pretend
sweet william don't you pretend
to forget
when you walk away

sweet william you're done for

Sweet William

Look what happened when Rope Store got back in the studio in 2020.

Because 2020's been a very 'different' year, this is a very different Rope Store!

Written, played & sung by Jason & Gemma.

Recorded, mixed & mastered at The Crunch, UK.

Two brothers versus the machines. Clusters of Eyes debuted at Smugglers Festival 2018 and have since been inhabiting coastal Kent’s subterranean network of tunnels, honing their set of gritty electronica and robot-rock.

This latest track features guest vocals from Troy of punk/hardcore band The Long Knives.

Imagery of a dystopian post-Covid, post-Brexit landscape is set to an irrepressible groove - inspired in equal parts by The Fall’s ‘Blindness’ and Death In Vegas’ ‘Aisha’.

This Is Transformation (feat. Troy)

Available to download at www.newteethleith.bandcamp.com (pay what you want)

The debut single from multi instrumentalist Daniel Crichton is a slice of warm DIY indie pop. Stepping into the spotlight for the first time as a solo artist, the entire single was recorded in lockdown on his phone (it's a decent phone). 

An honest and ambitious first offering, at 2:43 the track is a bite-sized insight into an artist discovering their voice.

Lyrics:
And it would seem that your sentences have become a jumbled mess,
And what it is that you meant to say has been usurped by predictive text,

But you don't have to reach for the delete button,
You're not an error,
Maybe you're not all that broken

What you see seems like fantasy,
slight of hand to deceive your eyes,
Your sullen head glitching back and forth until normality returns again,

But you don't have to reach for the delete button,
You're not an error,
Maybe you're not all that broken

Released: Friday 5th March 2021

I won’t lie - I wanted to make this quickly. I didn’t want to spend weeks or months agonising over choices that I only I would ever know I’d made. I didn’t want to allow my ego to get in the way of what I had created. I wanted to make it and then respect what I had made.

And so, this is an album that was recorded in an afternoon in January (with the exception of one track which was recorded in May). It is imperfect. You can hear my chair creak; you can hear the world outside my window; you can hear my dog move in his bed; you can hear my daughter making dinner. 

It is what it is: a moment captured in zeros and ones via two microphones. Some of these tracks are several years old, some are new compositions, and some have only ever been played at the moment they were recorded for this album.

So often I stress and worry about each and every little thing but there are many moments when I play guitar that all that worry leaves me; I am in and of the moment. In contrast to when I sing a song, playing instrumental music allows me in some way to bypass the inner critic, the internal filter that anticipates and then checks an upcoming mistake or emotional lapse. 

Perhaps it is because the voice is so personal, such an expression of our physical self, that I cannot turn off this filter, there must exist a barrier between my thought and the sound. Playing instrumental music renders this barrier transparent, invisible, vanished.

And so here it is, Moment.

Moment is available from https://benmorganbrown.bandcamp.com/album/moment with a wider digital and streaming release coming in March.
