Blood Run Through Me

Blood Run Through Me (Single Edit)

Babe & The Devil

Lyrics:
She's just like a dream
I had when I was young
My head stays floating
Up in the sky 
Above the clouds
We figure it out
Just like we always do
When we are out and about
And it's just me and you

I wanna be
On the dance floor with my girl
Cutting a rug til' they cut us off
Lighting cigs inside like it's 2005
Downstairs at Favorite's 
Before they shut it down
Out with my girl all night
At every dive bar in this town

I get insecure
When I wake up without her
I know some may say
That that is not O-K-A-Y
But I don't mind
I know just what I like
And how I spend my time
And it's just me and you

I wanna be
On the dance floor with my girl
Cutting a rug til' they cut us off
Lighting cigs inside like it's 2005
Downstairs at Favorite's 
Before they shut it down
Out with my girl all night
At every dive bar in this town

Every dive bar

I wanna be
On the dance floor with my girl
Cutting a rug til' they cut us off
Lighting cigs inside like it's 2005
Downstairs at Favorite's 
Before they shut it down
Out with my girl all night
At every dive bar 

I wanna be
On the dance floor with my girl
Cutting a rug til' they cut us off
Lighting cigs inside like it's 2005
Downstairs at Favorite's 
Before they shut it down
Out with my girl all night
At every dive bar

Smalltown Stardust (deluxe dust)

Symphony Of A Man

King Tuff - Symphony Of A Man

‘Just a Fool’ is the sixth single off of our upcoming 3rd LP, "I Should Have Known That This Was War"

“‘Just a Fool’ is about the time I found myself in a relationship where I couldn’t be 100% honest with the other person. I didn’t think they would understand or accept me for who I was at the time. I really liked the person and we were having such a great time together but at the same time I felt like a fool. I was keeping a big part of me a secret and the longer I found myself in the relationship the more I couldn’t relax and be my true honest self around them and explain why at times why I was acting so aloof… Looking back now I was just a fool… Being open and honest in the relationship would have been a lot healthier on us both.”
⁣- Geoff Rana (vocals/guitar/keys)

I Should Have Known That This Was War

Just a Fool

“A national musical treasure" The Guardian

Steven Adams, formerly of The Broken Family Band releases new album DROPS on Fika Recordings in November 2023.

Since calling time on TBFB at the height of their success, Adams has released half a dozen albums under various names (Singing Adams, Steven James Adams, Steven Adams & The French Drops), his witty, incisive lyrics and melodic sensibilities taking in DIY indie rock, folky introspection, and off-kilter pop hooks. 

Originally from South Wales, Adams now lives in East London.

“Every record I’ve made has been in a hurry of some sort” says Adams of his new album, “and with this one I took my time”. DROPS is the first album to be credited to him as a solo artist since 2016’s Old Magick, his first new music since 2020, and his noisiest record to date.

Armed with a new batch of material, he began by upping sticks to the Welsh countryside to experiment with drummer Daniel Fordham and bassist David Stewart - both formerly of psych oddballs The Drink. The trio then took the songs to Big Jelly, a converted chapel on the south coast, with co-producer Simon Trought (Comet Gain, Johnny Flynn, The Wave Pictures) to lay down the basic tracks for DROPS.

Eschewing a full band set up (“I wanted to concentrate on one thing at a time”), recording sessions in East London followed with Laurie Earle (Absentee) on guitar and Michael Wood (Hayman Kupa Band, Michaelmas) on keyboards.

Adams then took the recordings home and to the French countryside, to work alone.“I finally got my head around home recording in 2020, while things were a bit quiet. Once I worked out how to record things I realised I didn’t have to think about time. I could let the songs evolve and change once we had the basic tracks down. After a while I started to think of them as paintings; trying something one morning, painting over it in the afternoon and attempting something completely different… it was about enjoying the process, making some bangers, playing around... and giving Simon the producer a mess to sort out when it came to mixing the record". Whenever Tom from Fika Recordings checked in to see how the album was progressing Adams would reply, “it’s taking ages but it’ll sound like it was recorded in an afternoon”.

The result is a dynamic and spirited collection of songs, with Adams's love of 90/00s US underground rock (Pavement's Bob Nastanovich is a fan) to the fore.

DROPS is a sonically compelling piece of work: from bleak/exultant opener Out to Sea and the motorik Living in the Local Void to the weirdly funereal Fascists (where Adams imagines the “little skip in our steps” that we’ll have upon outliving some baddies), and Day Trip's psychedelia in miniature. There are also moments of tenderness: the avalanche of empathy on closing track Cheap Wine Sad Face, and I Tried to Keep it Light’s “worse things could happen… I don’t know how, but give me time”.

Adams says: “I'm preoccupied by the passing of time and the way it affects how we feel. This record is about time and bewilderment and trying to make sense of things".

“…astonishing tenderness in its simplicity … brilliant lyrics.” Q Magazine
“…the tunes are instant and uplifting, but the real wallop comes from the lyrical imagery.” The Guardian
“…barbed modern life chronicles.” UNCUT
