Broke For Free - Juparo

Release date: October 19th
Radical art-pop sweethearts Beauty Sleep are Irish producer and songwriting duo Cheylene and Ryan.

Following on from their boisterous set at SXSW this year, 'Go' sees the band return with an exhilarating new sound.

Written on a stormy night, 'Go' is a song about empowerment and the thrill of moving on from the past.

Synth player and Singer Cheylene Murphy describes the song as 'Weird, loud and over the top’.

"We were in a really playful mood and that mischief snowballed into every part of creating 'Go'. We just went with whatever made us laugh, and it brought us right back to why music is wonderful - it’s just so much fun!”

Guitarist and Singer Ryan McGroarty said the song represents 'Not taking anything for granted.'

"Writing 'Go' felt like breaking free of any expectations or pressures that we put on ourselves. We kept asking ourselves what a 'Beauty Sleep song' sounded like, and that way of thinking just put restrictions on ourselves.

This song is about challenging insecurities, and doing what feels right!”

The track was self produced by the Derry duo and mixed by Ryan in Start Together Studio, featuring band members Aimee Williamson on bass and Ross Bickerstaff behind the kit.

Beauty Sleep's dreamy soundscapes and dizzying songwriting have drawn comparisons to Tame Impala, Orange Juice and Confidence Man.

They released their debut album ‘Be Kind' in 2019 which saw them shortlisted for Best Album at the Northern Irish Music Prize and garner national radio support from BBC Radio One, 6Music, and RTE2fm.

Beauty Sleep’s digital performances at Ireland Music Week and SXSW over the past number of months were the band's first since their riotous pre-pandemic summer, rampaging through European festivals such as The Great Escape, Electric Picnic and Other Voices.

After their first single 'People I've Know' released last May, Coral Pink is back on Nice Guys Records with a second single entitled 'As New Days Begin'. Always in a nostalgic and catchy atmosphere, the band presents a dream pop track, with psychedelic and soaring synths. A track that announces a new fresh and promising EP, specific to the French quintet.

As New Days Begin

Coral Pink - As New Days Begin

My favorite Prince song, from Purple Rain. I love electronic music but almost never work in that medium.  This is one of those time I did.

You’ve seen a face 
Falling out of the dark
To mother a whisper
So half of your mind 
Can dare to drift off
As the other stays 
Always wondering,
Watching through the thunder 
For a sign of all the 
Monsters in the rain

"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"Say no to drugs"
"And stay like it was the plan all along" 
"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"I wish I could stay
Like it was the plan all along"

You said goodbyes 
Never meant a thing
But I started guessing  
Though we’d gathered our best
It was known for a while
That all through the night 
You’d stayed wondering,
Haunted by old dreams 
You could not share
In fear you’d throw them all away

"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"Say no to drugs"
"And stay like it was the plan all along" 
"Hey, hey, are you in good hands?"
"I wish I could stay
Like it was the plan all along"

Lyrics:

My soul had gone a’driftin 
And far away it hid.
And I know this thing can be so twisted
This love we call it our friend.

Oh are you up now?
Are you sleeping?
I’ve been laying here all morning.
Are you up now?
I’m ready, ready for this day to begin.

And in that classic depiction of love and all of it’s joy
There’s no room for a long haired fool in there!
No room for a long haired boy.

Then I found myself fighting.
Fighting with the one that I need,
Cause there was some kind of story here
But I don’t think that it’s about me.

Oh are you up now?
Are you sleeping?
I’ve been laying here all morning.
Are you up now?
I’m ready, ready for this day to begin.

And I had it written up inside a theory
That I’d never feel this way again.
We were young and it was ok
To spread our ashes on the windowpane.
You’re love, it brightens me up.
Wonder how long it’s gonna be this way.

Oh are you up now?
Are you sleeping?
I’ve been laying here all morning.
Are you up now?
I’m ready, ready for this day to begin.

Oh are you up now?
Are you sleeping?
I’ve been laying here all morning.
Are you up now?
I’m ready, ready for this day to begin.

Etc.
