In April 2013 we were approached by the organisers of the Explore the North festival in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. They asked if we would use some footage of the Elfstedentocht (Eleven Cities Tour), the world's biggest ice skating race, and write some songs around it. So we did. A transcript in English is below

For part three of our Pin Pal Club we're delighted to be welcoming IYESAYA to the family. We're also very excited to be working with someone from our own neck of the woods, Dorset (and Wimbourne to be more exact). William Dop, the man behind IYESAYA has spent the past few months squirreling away in his bedroom (now in London) creating all manner of wonderful sounds. A process which led to Gold Flake Paint describing him as "bedroom pop’s prince of darkness". With Monster, Dop shows a much fuller sound bolstered by the dab hands of studio wizzard Dan E Brown, as he tackles the stigma attached to mental health issues.

Croatian Amor - 'An Angel Gets His Wings Clipped'

Shinkansen No.1 / New Ways is the second release from CC DUST, a new duo from Olympia, Washington featuring Maryjane Dunphe and David Jaques. Shinkansen No.1 introduces the record with a more industrial, harder edge than much of the group’s debut 12” (CC DUST – S/T), a fast paced, urgent song powered by by fast kick drums and Jaques’ bassline acrobatics. CC Dust opened every show on their recent European tour with this salvo, a dark energy that spirals upwards, with Dunphe’s vocal giving the production space to build into a crescendo.

New Ways on the other hand, is perhaps Dunphe’s finest moment yet set to disc. Dunphe is a performer who battles restraint, her every vocal performance a tour de force and New Ways is one of the most emotional and transcendent performances imaginable. With a terse retraint in the verses, the chorus here erupts into an anthem for doomed youth, with every crack in Dunphe’s voice hitting the listener square in the chest.

A light that casts shadow, CC Dust is doomed, romantic music anchored by Jaques’ live bass and the powerful performance values Dunphe has honed both in her punk group Vexx and in various film and performance projects. Musically, CC Dust’s precedents might be considered the European synth pop originators of the early 80s, there’s also an abundance of low-end hooks played on baritone and bass guitars that teases the ear like early New Order productions, but in Dunphe’s passionate vocal performances there’s a close-to-the- 
bone reality that bypasses cool detachment.

CC Dust play and write real songs lived. A desire for desire. What is it? How does it manifest? Is it all worth the tumult? CC Dust offer no answers as there are none, but they ask the right questions in a life-affirming way. Doomed, romantic, unanswerable and vital.

Lyrics:

thin and white and kinky hair
a shadows climbing up the wall
your letter lying near the phone 
with honors for the patient one 

I know your dark side is stronger than you think 
you always were underneath

was this trouble your nature
why can’t you shake it
even like this
was this trouble your nature
why can’t you say it
even like this
 

I don’t know why


they always have so much to say
and no one there who cared to hear

I know your darkness better than you think
while all your old lovers falling on their knees
and all their hearts exploding underneath
you always were good to me

was this trouble your nature
why can’t you shake it
even like this
was this trouble your nature
why can’t you say it
even like this

Still tearing it up in its 30th year a brand new filthy dirty re-edit of Detestimony from Tronik Youth taken from the Tauchsieder remix. 

Please repost and share.  Thank you xx

DETESTIMONY Tauchsieder remix Tronik Youth re-edit

Dedicated to a wonderful human being, Jorge Sepulveda. Our best friend; we miss you mate.

This is the first track off the upcoming album from Pure Morning.

Lyrics:
Viento soñé, que aún sería igual, siempre pensé, que pasaría...
Si te viera nuevamente, viéndome, si pudiera ser, quien era yo, no se.
Verte volver, ¿Qué pasa si digo que no se puede caminar sin ti?
Muchas veces, lo he intentado pero no funciona si tantas veces, yo he fallado. Tal vez puedas ayudar.

Thank you Victor, David, Plop Radio and all of you guys, for always supporting us, you're the best.

Recorded, mixed and mastered @ Emma's House Studio.

Hante. is releasing her album "No Hard Feelings" on the 6th of September. Repartiseraren has gotten a hold of the third song off this release, titled "Une Nuit Avec Mon Ennemi". 

On this release, it feels like Hante. has grown out of her first stage and fully embraced the more theatrical, atmospheric and poppier side of her music. 

The blaring synthesizers, the jabbing percussion, everything is clad with a shroud of black - but with a meaning, an intent. It is beautiful in all its mystery and misery.

"No Hard Feelings" will be available digitally, as a limited edition digipack-CD and limited edition white vinyl.

The lyrics are a metaphor in french for insomnia.

Lyrics:

Je ferme les yeux Tu te ballades sous mes paupières
Commence alors notre petit jeu Celui du loup et du coeur de pierre

Les mots s’embrasent Sur tes lèvres closes dans la pénombre
Les heures se fanent La nuit se consume et je sombre
