+ JANUARY 2023 PART I

Juke the Tiger - Dancetoon

Lyerr - Next to you

‘Love's Not Enough’ gets straight to the point, as a rapid trance of recurrent electric guitar riffs and an addictively relentless beat dominates the senses. Davis’ vocals emerge from a time decades past, resonating with an echoing intensity that peaks in the chorus alongside synthesised specks of nostalgic indie-pop in the form of flying synths and running percussion.

A new inquisitive guitar layer joins the mix, moving towards a grungy bridge featuring head moving beats and metallic riffs, before gravelly desperation sneaks into Davis’ voice, a final glance in the rearview mirror before leaving the past behind.

Reflecting on an ended relationship, Davis brings his distinctive lyrical maturity to ‘Love's Not Enough', reaching insightful conclusions that can hopefully provide some closure, as he states:

"As the title suggests, the song is about the fact that sometimes even the forces of love aren’t strong enough to hold two together."

Unsurprisingly, the band’s previous releases have seen support from US College Radio, National broadcaster IndieXL (Netherlands), Triple J, Double J, Triple J Unearthed, Scenestr, LA On Lock, Backseat Mafia, theMusic, Pilerats, XPress Magazine, Junction Records, RTRFM, FBi Radio, 4ZZZ, 3RRR and more, as well as being nominated for the WAM Rock Song of the Year in 2020. The group have also played coveted support and festival slots including RTRFM flagship event In The Pines, WAMFest and the inaugural WAY WAY WEST Festival.

Love's Not Enough (Single)

Love's Not enough

Love's Not Enough

A creative departure from the bands signature sound, Only Feel It When I’m With You builds upon the new textures and sounds recently delivered with the surprise drop of Midnight and Under The Surface.

With a slower tempo and mesmerizing melody, the single features the hypnotic vocals of The Jezabels singer Hayley Mary who adds her uniquely melancholic voice to one of the most daringly beautiful tracks Baby Strange have released to date.

Speaking on the collaboration, Hayley says: “I met the Baby Strange lads at the Priory in Glasgow. Loved their vibe and and we hit it off straight away. There’s a great little rock scene bubbling in that city that I’ve missed while I’ve not been able to get there, so I’m incredibly stoked to be part of this track and stay connected with them in a musical way. It’s a killer and I look forward to coming and playing it live with them sometime in the near future. 

Adding to this, Johnny Madden says:  “This is one of the most exciting singles we’ve ever released as a band. Writing it took us completely out of our comfort zone and pushed us into a new territory as writers and players. 
We’ve never had a featured vocalist on a track before, but knew right away that it had to be Hayley. The song just lends itself perfectly to her vocal style.
We’ve known Hayley for a long time so being able to work together on this was so exciting”

The artwork and visuals connected to the single follow on the series of recent releases, exploring an alternative world that offers an insight into the bitter promises of late stage capitalism. Brought to life by Glasgow based Visual Animator ‘Bovine’ the artwork itself has become a talking point for fans and media who eagerly await the next instalment.

The wait is over.

As well as the previous one, i wasn't able to finish this track as my apartment was burglarised on October 2020.
Around July 2020, i've randomly sent some music to a dear friend of mine: Simon Heah, because he wanted to hear it.
Here is what's left, as well as other lo-fi recordings that i will only share on Soundcloud.
The thieves stole my musical equipment, my computer and the usbs where i kept the projects at the time, gladly i was able to send some audio files to Simon.
There is no reason for me to holding on to it, so here it is...

Prélude À L'île Brumeuse was recorded mainly around the end of December 2019, in my home studio.

Mixed on an old vintage boombox.

After spending nearly two decades establishing herself across New York and Los Angeles independent music circles, Frankie Rose returns with a fresh form, aesthetic, and purpose embodied in her new album "Love As Projection." Celebrated by countless critical and cultural outlets over the years for her expansive approach to songwriting, lush atmospherics, and transcendent vocal melodies and harmonies, "Love As Projection" is a reintroduction of her established style through the new lens of contemporary electronic pop. Featuring beautiful, ethereal songs like lead-off single "Anything," "Sixteen Ways" and "Come Back," this album is more than a rebirth, a refinement, a resurgence – it's a culmination of influence, a newly-defined scope using the tools at her disposal, and the most personal and accessible collection of art-pop that Frankie has delivered yet.

i love you

Halloween is here again 
So kiss me on your final breath 
Wanna go out but I don’t know what to wear 
Halloween all day and night 
If the breeze cuts through the trees just right 
I’ll find myself up in your arms sweet death 

Cuz I want to love you 
But it’s been so long 
Been so long 
I want to love you 
But it’s been so long 
Been so long 

So death come take me now 
Death come take me now 
Death come take me now 
Death come take me now 

Hunt me down and paint me red 
A pentagram on my forehead  
Make out to Sonic Youth  
This dream is over 
Hell is where I’ll finally be 
My destiny’s 666 feet deep 
No hope to follow you on Halloween 

Cuz I want to love you 
But it’s been so long 
Been so long 
I want to love you 
But it’s been so long 
Been so long 

So death come take me now 
Death come take me now 
Death come take me now 
Death come take me now 

Death come take me now 
Death come take me now 
Death come take me now 
Death come take me now 
So death come take me now 
Death come take me now 
Death come take me now 
Death come take me now

Lyrics:
Locking eyes with a foe in a floral blue dress
A grin, a name, a weight in the glance, a whirl of ideas
Civilised in person, raw in retreat
Upbahpbahpbahpbahp-biased to ever stop hinting a spark

Distressed sermon, free rogue vermin
Do you wonder? Leave distance?
Hope you feel the parting breath

I’m searching the depths of a faith long lost
All aboard the loco motive, fear not losing track

Any arrow in the heart, just to feel it
Shock of pain into a darkness, numbness
