Jeanines' 2019 self-titled debut was an indiepop tour-de-force that drew from a deep set of DIY pop influences, garnering attention from well beyond the international pop underground. Now they're back with "Don't Wait For A Sign," and it's a real gem. With the band now divided geographically and touched by the isolation and uncertainty of the pandemic, Jeanines' new album is deeper and a bit darker than their debut. The folk influences feel more pronounced, at times recalling early Fairport Convention or Vashti Bunyan as much as indiepop touchstones like Dear Nora, The Aislers Set, and the many bands of Pam Berry. The thirteen songs on "Don't Wait For A Sign" show a band in total mastery of their idiom—a brilliantly compelling blend of timeless influences illuminated by distinctive songwriting and sharp lyrics. The arrangements are always on point, full of interesting transitions and modulations but never fussy or in the way of the songs themselves. Alicia Jeanine's vocals really take flight here, richer and more confident, and often layered in harmony. Second albums can be tricky, but with "Don't Wait For A Sign” Jeanines ably manage to build on their terrific debut with well-honed songwriting, singular melodies, and unerringly sympathetic production.

Lyrics

Jaded heart of mine,
May you go to the dark side.
Now I’m an evil bitch,
He can take every bit of it.

Now I love the way I talk,
And I love the way I am,
But I’m starting to belong,    
To someone else’s woman. 

And she wears black in the day,
And black in the night,
She wants me,
And I want her bad,
She’s a beautiful thing,
Red eyes like the sun,
So I will be your waitress lady.

Cos I will serve you,
I will help you live another day,
And I’d never be like my ex guy,
He just let me waste away.

I had an invite,
So I ride my bike down the street at night.
I got my makeup on,
She said she’s gonna play my song.

My other lovers here,
But I don’t want him no more,
How did this little boy,
Make me his prisoner of war.

And she’s no better than him,
But this I discard,
Cos with her touch,
I am disarmed,
She’s a beautiful thing,
With skin like a peach,
So I will be your waitress lady.



Cos I will serve you,
I will help you live another day,
And I’d never be like my ex guy,
He just let me waste away. 

Ohhhhhh…

[Lyrics]
With your blue lips, raincoat 
And halo on to guide the way 
We watched time ride on a purple sleigh 
Taking us up to another day 

We sat around on a beach and threw our dreams into the sea 
The orange sets and all that’s left is you and me 

Lou Lou 
I’m coming back to you 
Watch me search this world for you 
I’m coming back as it’s all for you Lou 

Daylight leaves, takes an aeroplane 
a million stars light the way 
We danced all night like in a scene from Fame 
You pull me in like a hurricane 

Thousand bulbs above your head disappear, the Devil’s left 
All that’s left in the silhouette is you and me 

Lou Lou 
I’m coming back to you 
Watch me search this world for you 
I’m coming back as it’s all for you Lou 

The sun goes up and I don’t look back 
 so what about that 
The sun goes up and I don’t look back 
 so what about that 
The sun goes up and I don’t look back 
 so what about that 
The sun goes up and I don’t look back 
 so what about that 

Lou Lou 
I’m coming back to you 
Watch me search this world for you 
I’m coming back as it’s all for you Lou 

Lou Lou 
I’m coming back to you 
Watch me search this world for you 
I’m coming back as it’s all for you Lou (it’s all for you)

Antwerp and Hamburg-based dream-pop duo THE DAY will release their new single "June" on March 4, 2022. After the bitter "Empty" from autumn 2021, the track is already the second glimpse into The Day's new album, which will be released at the end of 2022.

The Day on "June": 

"'June' is a real coming-of-age song. The song is about a deep friendship that somehow got lost on the way to adulthood. The lyrics tell of the carelessness of teenagers, of the unclear boundaries between friendship and love, of living in the moment. At the same time, fears and worries emerge, about one's own future, about the world itself. The older you get, the more space they take up and push friendship more and more into the background until it finally fades away completely."

Over the past year, The Day not only had to deal with various lockdowns. On top, closed borders and different national regulations stood in the way of their collaborative band. For a pan-European project like The Day, there is simply no common day-to-day life during the pandemic, no basis for working together in the same place. With the current relaxations, a band like The Day is now possible again. They now have a new hopeful starting point.

The Day release two DIY EPs and their debut album "Midnight Parade" in early 2019. After a series of tasteful cover versions, the band continues to formulate their own version of pop music. A music that is intimate without being imposing. That is meant to connect and looks forward. Restrained, melancholic and always touching the heart.

This song is about something we have all become too familiar with. Ghosting.

Lyrics: 
A greyhound racer is a thing to be
You risk your money with a bet on me
A hare in my face how can I see
I’m running so fast I feel like I’m the…

King of the world, I’m Rex Mundi
I’m made to wear a muzzle but I can still speak
Talk talk but you still don’t see 
I’m running away ‘cause you’re cruel to me

I race down the lane at break neck speed
I stop for a breather and a peach iced tea
But why should I keep running when the problem ain’t me?
I’m standing my ground and I still feel like the…

King of the world I’m Rex Mundi
I’m here to make a difference hun I can still speak 
Talk talk ‘til you hear my plea
I’m making them see you were cruel to me

You take all the winnings back to your seat
You’re sitting up there looking down on me
This isn’t the end I’m Rex Mundi
The king of the world more than you’ll ever be

Rex Mundi
