ECLECTIC PICKS - 2022 (Part 1) (Freshonthenet)

Disco Dancer

Time (To Die)

‘Sleaze’ is about people in power abusing their positions and status - their bad behaviour will catch up with them sooner or later. There’s only so much that can get brushed under the carpet... whether it's getting caught on CCTV cheating on their wife or looking up photos of tractors in Parliament. 'Sleaze' is the opening track of Bill’s new 6-Track EP ‘A New Low’ released on the 19th of August & available for Pre-Order now on Bill’s Bandcamp.

Crystal towers and icy roads
When I wake up my eyes are closed 
Travel by moonlight into your dreams 
Travel by moonlight into your eyes

Moonlight, moonlight, moonlight 

Frozen flowers and emerald skies 
Lost for hours, losing time
Travel by moonlight into your dreams
Travel by moonlight into your eyes 

Moonlight
I travel by
Moonlight
I travel by
Moonlight


Moonlight
I travel by
Moonlight
I travel by

i remember meeting lauren
i remember meeting ivy
i remember meeting amy, then tara
i remember the first show i saw here
and war pigs in the lecture hall
play that champagne supernova solo again
i'll kill you

all in the wrong order
i remember cleaning up glass
smashing it too
no good mornings
and a reading of this tao lin poem
bring me my wine

i left myself in the river
i left myself in the river

i'm in a good place

i'm thinking of a colour
i'm thinking of the nice things
in the river

'Tower of Babel' was born of humming birds and the three years of viscous river ooze dripping from our mouths. a boschian tale of queer fertility, a line under everything, a nervous glimpse of something scurrying under the bed. all this and more explored throughout its monumental twenty minute runtime. this album stumbles naked from noise rock to hyperfolk, always completely delirious, vomiting darkwave and a kind of minimalism onto your lawn.

the first single is called 'manta ray'. something horrible has washed up on the shore, in your room, at the club, in this dream. in this dream i am running towards some glimmer of moonlight, hollow and completely out of my mind.

i am trying to break through to you, the listener; i want nothing more than to be the swirling vortex of feedback and pop sensibilities that you need me to be. this album is a part of that, i think. i hope there is something for you, no matter how brief. thank you.

She Changes The Weather

Aphra Taylor has been selected by BBC Introducing Oxfordshire to play at Truck Festival 2022, this follows previous single 'The Way You Live Your Life' being given 'pick of the week' on the BBC Introducing Oxfordshire show, and being named as a 'Future Oxford classic' on Get Radio's Melting Pot Show, she is also on the front of this month's Nightshift (Oxford's music magazine), see: http://nightshiftmag.co.uk/2022/jul.pdf.

UNWRITTEN RULES - This song is about unhealthy coping mechanisms and the impact they can have on loved ones.The lyrics depict the negative reactions that people can have to mental
illness and how our gut reactions towards a loved one who is struggling can be upsetting to the individual going through it. It’s also however, about the healthier coping mechanisms of art and
music and how they can heal.

“I carry around lots of guilt about the impact my mental health issues had on my loved ones. It’s really stupid though because if I was physically ill I wouldn’t feel so bad about being unwell. It’s
an angry song, I was angry at myself and my brain and our horrible society. It started off as anger towards people but I soon realised that these feelings were misdirected which is why it seems as if I am talking to a person within the song when I am not".

At its core, ‘Unwritten Rules’ presents the complexities of human relationships and the negative aspects that are found within even the healthiest of connections to other people.

I Need You To Understand

Make Your Way Through - (Reprise)

Inspired by the personal stories of migration in both Roxana & Pete's own families, their new track explores that feeling of being mixed culturally, of being rootless & of making home in many places. 
War was a backdrop to both their childhoods.
Roxana grew up in Iran & her family fled when the Iran/Iraq war started.
Pete's parents grew up in the old Czechoslovakia and fled to 
London when the Russian tanks rolled into Prague. 
These feelings are also something that many of us are experiencing in the world right now, as many people flee their homes due to conflicts.
