LST-111 SLEUTH "Gold" Cassette Tape w/ Digital Download

Release date May 29th, 2020

Vancouver indie pop band, Sleuth just released the music video for their track “Sick Days” ahead of their 7 song, sophomore album, Gold (Lost Sound Tapes and Jigsaw Records). The anticipated release date May 29th with pre-orders available now on Lost Sound Tapes’ Bandcamp, promising a solid gold cassette with digital download, and CD pre-orders forthcoming through Jigsaw Records.

The highly topical video features members (Julian Bowers, Jasper Lastoria, Jon Manning and Oliver McTavish-Wisden) making the best of a bad situation filming themselves in isolation amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. They're experiencing both the mundane, frustrating, and occasionally funny aspects of social distancing. If local situations improve, the record release party was set at Red Gate Arts Society May 30th with Flying Fish Cove, Maneater and Primp but instead Sleuth will be organizing a virtual gathering.

Pure

Pure by Lights That Change

The third single from Ancient Channels, ‘Pangs’, is a heavy and immersive contribution to the dream pop landscape with pummeling drums, ethereal synths, stark reverberated guitars and dreamy delay- ridden vocals.

‘Pangs’ is a meditation on the ephemeral nature of time and the human feelings that are borne of uncertainty: confronting the unwavering and the unpredictable one discovers when looking within. In direct conflict with the plodding, lesser tempo of the song that serves as a crucial reminder that we are more than the sum of our thoughts.

Shine So Bright

Young sad Lovers / Happy old Friends

Young sad lovers / happy old friends
Why are others better than them?
Honest promise / never forget
Why are others better than them?

Fragile egos, jealousy, hate
Are for others, not ready yet
Cut the flowers, before they can bend
Passionate lovers / households for rent

Chorus
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you my friend
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you so much
—————————————
Troubled marriage / troubled romance
We were different, we could withstand
Like young bold partners ready to dance
Facing each other with love for the past
…the future, the present, love that can last

Bridge:
Young sad lovers / happy old friends
We were waiting for Fridays, our evenings to spend
Honest promise / never forget
Why are others better than them?
(Why are lovers better than friends?)

Young sad lovers / happy old friends
We were waiting for Fridays, our evenings to spend
Honest promise / never forget
We were better than them, we were better than them

Chorus
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you my friend
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where were you, I missed you so much
—————————————
Where are you, I missed you, my darling
Where were you, I missed you, my love
Where are you, I missed you my other
Where are you, I missed you my friend.
I missed you so much.
