A Little Dancing

Second single from the upcoming album We're Trying Our Best out 9/17 on Daydream Records.

About Why Don't You Break My Heart, lead singer/songwriter Joy Deyo says: "Along with physical pain, there is a lot of mental anguish that comes with sickness. It feels a little like you’re dying while you’re still alive—mourning parts of yourself that don’t work anymore and longing for the things that you can no longer do with ease.
In grief, I found myself saying things to my husband like, “if you want to leave me and find someone else who isn’t sick, I’ll understand. You didn’t sign up for this. Of course, I didn’t want him to. And he didn’t want to either. So instead I wrote a song about it. Songs can speak your fears and the things you hope will never happen just as well as they can speak your dreams. And if you can take that darkness and make it a bop, well that’s just more fun for everyone!"

Why Don't You Break My Heart

hello, it's me again
i know you didn't want to see me but pretend
with your eyes wide awake at night
face is getting thinner it's just not right
but you know
you're responsible for this

i'm back again
all i ever wanted was a friend

but I know it's hard
as you feel my flying through your mind like crystal shards
with your chest tight, awake at night
breath is getting quicker it's fight or flight
and you know
you're responsible for this

i'm back again
all i ever wanted was a friend

hello old friend
i know you want me gone but this will never end
with your eyes wide awake at night
face is getting thinner it's just not right
is it chemical?
you're responsible

i'm back again
all i ever wanted was a friend

hello old friend
so we meet again

This is the second single from our debut EP - Final Days of a Phase - out 16th April

On Edge

Living Life might be the most straightforward and (dare I say) joyful song I’ve written, and it’s about tryyyying to live with that same intention. To do what comes naturally, appreciate moments as they happen, and stay out of your own way.

Spinning Me Out

Sydney-based singer-songwriter Moody Beach (aka Melissah Mirage) shares her new single, “Why Not” out via Viscera Arts.

A follow-up to her lauded sophomore EP ‘Mirage’, Mirage continues to flourish in distilling her sound and lyrics as fluid expressions of her life experience, and exploration of agency and autonomy as a woman. Produced by Kim Moyes of The Presets, “Why Not” opens to a plucked bass line as Mirage’s hazy vocals cut to the fold, in a smoke-laced hit of instantly addictive melody. Between shoegaze-riddled fuzz and crisp snares, “Why Not” is the perfect amalgamation of analog and electro, as every note sits with clarity in Marie’s serenading world of indie-pop catharsis.

Moody Beach says about “Why Not”: “‘Why Not’ is about unfulfilled desire towards a person who is off-limits; how this desire muddles the brain and your capacity to think and act logically. To me, desire is one of the most primal human instincts. I revelled in the feeling and had a lot of fun writing the song. It was the perfect outlet and a cathartic release.”

Kim Moyes says about “Why Not”: “Even in the roughest & purest form of the demo, “Why Not” stood out as something instantly exciting and relatable. The overall energy struck me as a perfect, but unusual kind of left-field hot-and-bothered. Most importantly, I felt that Mel's lyrics nailed the sense of excitement, danger and angst of desire. It was an absolute pleasure to help realise Mel's vision for the record.”
