Indie Rock

With a single breath You awaken my soul and call me back to You
Who is like You, Jesus? 
The One who makes me knew

With a single word the chains fall away and You call me to be free
Who is like You, Jesus?
The One who rescues me

As I draw near I find You're always here

With every single breath and all that’s within my heart calls Your name
Who is like You Jesus?
The One for whom my soul is aflame 

As I draw near I find You’re always here
As I draw near I find You’re always here

In the closeness, in the stillness You breath life
Joy rises up with the song of my heart
I adore You, Lord

Hater New EP ‘Red Blinders’
Out December 1st 
Pre-order link: https://haterfire.bandcamp.com/ 

“Their ability to effortlessly write songs that are devastating in their lyrical impact yet bewitching to hear is only rivaled by a few.” Revue

“Their unique take on rock music feels familiar and lived-in, taking bits from indie-pop, post-punk, and classic rock.” Stereogum

"Gorgeous, achingly bittersweet vocals, perpetually swaying between comforting and devastating.” Gorilla Vs Bear

You can imagine John Peel’s hurriedly inaccurate summation of a cold and unforgiving Swedish winter as he juxtaposes the big-jumper-like welcoming warmth of Hater. Their lush and tempered guitars are an almost Marr-approved Smiths-like foil for Caroline Landahl’s beautifully accented and accentuated vocal – it’s a heartwarming brew.

“We know little of their home town, Malmo,” Peel might have mused, caught up in Hater’s minor chord world weariness, “other than that Roy Hodgson had a particularly successful time there… probably long before this young four-piece were actually born.”

Indeed. Hater are new to the game. This year’s well-received debut album, ‘You Tried’ earned comparisons to Alvvays, The Pretenders and even Jefferson Airplane, eclectic for sure, but that’s just incidental.

Their new EP distinguishes their very own super polished and intricate guitar-led dreamy pop. Featuring their first single for Fire, the wonderfully forlorn and truly lovesick ‘Blushing’ (we’ve all been there) and ‘Rest’ with its haunting monosyllabic guitar break, a super-clean chiming motif that seems like a closing salvo before it regains momentum and brings proceedings to a suitable climax, welcoming back Landahl for one last chorus.

The echoey eeriness of ‘Red Blinders’ could have come right out of the bubble blowing indie pop hey days of the early ‘80s, while ‘Penthouse’ is a chunkier c86 groove with a wind blowing through its motorik rhythm.

Hater release their new EP ‘Red Blinders’ on December 1st on Fire Records.

Man, I just wanna live a day as a blonde 
I’ll look like Jessica Chastain  
Get mistaken for a man with a job  
Taking sessions on my lunch break 

You won’t believe what an apartment will cost 
Been living right by the freeway  
Watching TV in my dollar store socks 
 I don’t get out much these days 

Convince myself that I’ve been talking too much 
Picture hours of replay 
 It’s pretty lonely just writing a song  
When you know your friends are all moving away 

And I just wanna see a picture of mom  
From when she was my age  
Was she as hard to get as everyone thought? 
Was she happier in those days? 

Sleeping, getting paid  
Subways running late 
 Leaving the rest up to question  
Just to find that you ain’t got it made 

Weather ain’t been bad 
 Floss and take a bath  
Leave all the rest up to question 
Just to find you hardly ever laugh 

Man, I just wanna be the type to forget 
Oh, the embarrassing montage 
 Seeing pictures from when I was a kid 
Down at the beach with my brother 

And I don’t wanna be a ghost when I’m dead 
I think I’d tire of jump scares  
Sitting quiet at the foot of your bed  
Watch you crying from the top of the stairs 

Work out, pay the rent 
 Thinking bout your ex 
 Leaving the rest up to question 
Just to find that you got nothing left 

Fall back out of love 
 Take too many drugs 
 Leave all the rest up to question  
Just to find that you ain’t young enough 

And when I’m feeling sad 
Just remember that 
I’ve got songs to hide behind until the feelings pass 
It ain’t much of a life
 But maybe once or twice 
I’ve felt magic touching pen to paper in my time

Loser, Lover (Drugstore Blues)

Loser, Lover (Drugstore Blues) [now on spotify]

This song is about being stuck in a certain place where you feel trapped and confused. Sometimes we feel as though life would be better if we were somewhere different with a fresh start, but in reality the only way to make life feel pleasurable is to be patient and await what is to come for us. Sometimes it’s hard to see that we have to live in the moment but when we start to do so, the time flies.

I Like To Wait

https://uok.ffm.to/anywhereelse

«Anywhere Else is a song about anxiety. Not the panicky, all-consuming kind that often results in a severe physical reaction, but a smoldering and quiet sort of anxiety, a sort of uncomfortable buzzing in the body that never quite leaves you be. It took me many years to understand that this also is a form of anxiety. It can be relatively quiet, but it's there - always. This has had me in a soft grip for a long while, and I wrote Anywhere Else before I understood what it really was that I was experiencing. I thought it was normal to feel a bubbling sense of fear almost all the time. It can make me have a hard time deciding seemingly small things like what I'm going to eat, where I'm going to go on a walk, what coffee shop I'm going to go to, what I should wear, what I should do with my day, etc. It's a constant that I've felt for most of my life, without really understanding it or believing it to be anything but ordinary.  I've decided to release Anywhere Else at this time as it feels extra potent for me at the moment, with so many of us feeling a lot of uncertainty and fear about what's happening. I hope it can provide some comfort.»

Anywhere Else

friday i’m in love

Be Fine

I picture myself with you
I picture myself with you

Wishing so badly I could be with you
Food in the fridge, stocked up on tissue

Just me, empty journal
Full of demons
I’m sorry
No excuses
Only reasons 

I picture myself with you
I picture myself with you

Here the days keep getting longer
I can’t count on my wrist
Search for meaning,
Don’t know why I exist

April spent me
Now I’m empty
I miss my family
Fuck 2020

Long night and I’m ready for it
Long night and I’m ready for it
Long night and I’m ready for it
Long night and I’m ready for it

Long night and I’m ready for it
Long night and I’m ready for it
I picture myself with you
Long night and I’m ready for it
I picture myself with you
Long night and I’m ready for it
I picture myself with you
Long night and I’m ready for it
I picture myself with you
(Long night and I’m ready for it)
