I was somewhere lost in England
I was somewhere far from you
Thinking about all the words we chose to use
And I know that it seems selfish
But it's easier on me
To move away in a half-light while you sleep

Why would I wait
Wait for words
I should do anything for you

Will you wait for me in London
Will you clear me out a space
Bring me the bones of mistakes that we have made
And I know I have to say it
But I'm sorry from the start
Come back to me, come back to me

Why would I wait
Wait for words
I should do anything for you

Oh stay
I'd do anything 
For you

Blank Page is the first single from the upcoming album 'Memories of a New Home'

Lyrics:  

Don't tell me that you are tired
don't tell me that you've been blue
cause we were just, we were just starting
how dare you say this wasn't true?

You were a light that haunted me
your indecision brings me down
but I need you now to start all over
I want to get back to the start

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
Let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
my false steps and all my ways,
I swear i'm gonna change them all
to start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

A warning sign just blinded me
I knew I wasn't going right
now there's a fire inside me
I want to get back to the start

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
My false steps and all my ways, 
I swear I'm gonna change them all 
to start on a blank page

If you take this away from me
it's gonna get too dark to see
so now, I beg you for a chance

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
for all of my mistakes, I beg you, forgive me
let my life start on a blank page

And I swear for our love,
I swear I'm gonna change my life 
to start on a blank page
my false steps and all my ways
I swear I'm gonna change them all
to start on a blank page

We'll get back to the start

BLANK TAPE ANNOUNCE DEBUT RELEASE AS LABEL - Melbourne's Texture Like Sun have just completed their debut EP, and it's now time to launch with three special shows down the east coast w/ Patrick James. The EP is available digitally and physically through Blank Tape Music/MGM on the 2nd of November.

The self-titled EP was recorded across Darwin and Melbourne's Bounce County Studios, produced by award winning Pip Norman (Countbounce - TZU, Sparkadia, Ash Grunwald) and mixed by Dan Rejmer - a man who counts Bjork, Foals and Paul Kelly among his working credits. While the six piece’s sound couldn't be further away from anything they’ve done before, their cohesive approach remains apparent; evident through the effortless guild that bridges each of the songs on the EP.
The earthy vocals may draw ghostly parallels to Jeff Buckley and Scott Matthews, while there’s a certain zealousness that sees the band paint their folk and roots stylings through accounts of both brighter times and others of fragile refrain.
Compelling song writing doesn't need embellishment. Texture Like Sun may just seem to be another band dwelling on the human condition, but there’s a quality about the EP that descends well beyond just plaintive lyricism. Haunting track ʻBottleʼ is a moving account of addiction and loss in all its forms. The strength of this EP may be evident in its honest subject matter; the striking string section featured in ʻRubber Manʼ and the pacing melody of ʻOne Great Prizeʻ still salvages a sense of great warmth. Similarly, the slow, ruminative guitar of ʻWeekendʼ distils a dreamlike imprint of early mornings spent with the one you love.
There are releases that stay with you for a long time; songs which mirror our own stories, artists who mark themselves distinct - and others who, put more simply, are just quietly brilliant.

Weekend

“Rebel Kites is a fitting name for a band that fell out of the sky and hit me on the head”
– Sean O’Leary (Indie Shuffle)

"Lovingly crafted, rich cinematic folk-scapes - The Witnessing is an impressive debut"
- Iain Lowery (John Peel Archive)

Things snowball. It didn't matter that a band of scruffy, bearded chaps and one unbearded woman were making a racket in living rooms and London venues, assembling a kaleidescope of musical influences on top of ex-electronic music producer Alex Story's songs of a nature kid living in a tough city. It didn't matter because the world at large couldn't hear it. So it started as a few live takes. Why not add a few drum parts? Then why not get the electric guitars in. Why not attack every instrument in sight with a violin bow. Why not craft it against their record collection favourites?

Then why not spend two years making it a reality, living on beans in a Hackney Wick warehouse?

London settles into winter of 2015, and Rebel Kites' EP The Witnessing is ready for you. It's birth was not unlike that of a human's birth: conceived after a night out, it spent a long time kicking in a dark room, and it's delivery was at times traumatic and bloody. Now the cinema is set between the mountainous roar of folk-rock toms, the intimacy of clustered picks, bows and whirring bells, the hypnotic drone of an organ and double-lead vocals, amalgamating in a piece for both speaker and the stage.

The Rebel Kites live show consists of an ensemble sharing over fifteen instruments on stage, and Rebel Kites' dynamic, visual live show has risen through the London circuit, as well as enjoying national BBC radio airplay. With the release of their EP, they look forward to a 2015 of doing what they do best - working their ass off to bring their musical cinema to the world.
