WATER

Hey! It's a been a while since we've put some songs up - we've been working towards an album etc... So here's a new demo for you! 

Recorded & Produced at some point last year by Sherrin, mostly in his mouldy bedroom...

Album coming soon...

Bleak Future (Demo)

Torsonic circulation aid pop for suicide disco relief, unsolved mysteries featuring EBU, Tara Clerkin, Silver Waves and MXLX with hacked sing holes. ‘Blit Scratch’ is the sound the cardiac monitors play as I make best friends with ICD, the horse kick altruist.

the blue just clings to the earth, it's embedded within some atmospheres. 
you could tell that the bitter cold you'd just been in was the same way that i am feeling. 
you told me that numbing it doesnt work, but i just had to force a change of scenery.
you showed me photos of the torched earth of lava fields, i know that barren misery.

you described being underneath the ice sheets
i know that numb translucency 
you showed me photos of the snow peaked mountain tops
ive just crawled out of my creased bed sheets. 

there is more for me
it takes a friend like you to remind me
there is more for me
thank you for reminding me

water can be rain licking your face awake, but when its ice it can carve through rocks
everything ebbs and flows it passes through different states of change. 
your sadness is never locked.

my pathetic fallacies are so vain. they remind me that cycles slow but they dont stop.
i read in the news that they've resurrected the woolly mammoth. the madness just goes on and on and on and on 


you described being underneath the ice sheets
i know that numb translucency 
you showed me photos of the snow peaked mountain tops
ive just crawled out of my creased bed sheets. 

there is more for me
it takes a friend like you to remind me
there is more for me
thank you for reminding me

leaving it all unsaid
keeping it quiet instead
you know that i won’t explain 
cause i’ve grown to need this pain

you tell me it’s good for now
i’ll heal but i don’t know 
safe in the way we touch
but it hurts to feel this much

and they say that it goes so i hope that it shows
you are all that i’ve known for a while
and i’m coming up slow and i’m thinking of home
but you’re all that i’ve known for a while

spending our nights awake
silent for both our sake 
hold me until i’m strong
cause i’ll miss this when you’re gone

and they say that it goes so i hope that it shows
you are all that i’ve known for a while
and i’m coming up slow and i’m thinking of home
but you’re all that i’ve known for a while

i’d tell you but i can’t 
please don’t make this hard
time is all i want
so speak the words i won’t 

and they say that it goes so i hope that it shows
you are all that i’ve known for a while
and i’m coming up slow and i’m thinking of home
but you’re all that i’ve known for a while.

For A While

for the women in my life, thanks for your wisdom and strength. 

mercury's in retrograde and i'm still in pain, i came off all the things that were making it darker in my brain
i need to peel back the layers, find whatever haunts these veins, this pain we shouldn't suppress, we need to investigate 
why even when i'm at home, there's a darkness in this soul 
why even with a full heart i just fall into a dark hole
drowning in how little i know

these planets, they've planned it 
i learnt that from the witches who began this
my ancestors were burnt in tar for their craft 
for love do we really have to sacrifice our craft?
these planets, they've planned it 

in fluxus with the full moon, i menstruate 
it reminds me we're all pawns in the cosmos game 
gender is not genital, that's a fact we can't escape
that's why i feel so sure when it's solitude that i crave
because it broke my soul sat waiting for him to come home
i'm a loose atom let me be free to roam
let me figure out all there is to know

my mother traced it out in the stars for me 
last night Jupiter so silently reminded me 
you can live vicariously through me 
i may have inherited your pain but it's what drives me

i know that i will never be alone 
when i've got these words to put the cement in the stone
to help me understand the little that i know

these planets, they've planned it
i learnt that from the witches who began this
my ancestors were burnt in tar for their craft
for love do we really have to sacrifice our art?
these planets, they've planned it

FREE DOWNLOAD! Taken from an as yet untitled release out on Art is Hard later this year.

Emily Isherwood (fka Nugget) is a Bristolian magician, familiar to anyone who has ever frequented one of Bristol's record shops or perhaps those who caught her fronting frenetic acts like Rink or Skeleton Frames. The decision at the end of last year to start recording music under her own name feels like a symbolic one. With it, Emily has drawn a line under what came before whilst also undoubtedly being influenced by those previous experiences.

'Calibrate' is the first track to be shared in this new guise and is a startling introduction. The stripped back sound of the earlier Nugget Demo EP is replaced by sparse electronics segueing into swelling choruses bubbling with raw emotion. It's not the sort of music you put on in the background, rather an all consuming experience requiring your full attention. Partly this is down to Emily's knack for stringing together poetic lines that feel effortless in their construction.

Recorded in a studio just outside Bath, the track forms part of a larger collection set for release on Art is Hard later in 2018. In the meantime, Emily is heading on a nine date UK tour with a full band in tow supporting Black Foxxes:

28th March, Manchester Deaf Institute
29th March, Leeds Key Club
30th March, Glasgow Cathouse
31st March, Newcastle Thinktank
2nd April, Nottingham Bodega
3rd April, Birmingham Mama Roux's
5th April, Southampton Joiners
6th April, London Heaven
7th April, Bristol Thekla

Calibrate

Emily Isherwood - Calibrate

In the autumn evening swoon I’m amused 
By the jaundice ash among the yews 
Chasing trains with my uncle’s lens 
Light won’t bend for the sheepdog, for the mountain, we are people 

I want to go home with you, I’m confused 
By your bridges and your views 
Racing stillness before it ends 
For all the silver of the birch tree, of the magpie, we are people 

Dissipating energy, increasing our entropy 
The grass was parted, our feet were wet 
I don’t know how this started but I’ll never forget 
The year we spent, the fear that went away 

How did this start there’s a hot stone in my heart and I wanna go home with you 
The mountain moon couldn’t pass me twice too soon coz I wanna go home with you 

Under awesome eves of June you were bruised 
And haunt this thrasher you would choose 
Facing panes slow will flow the Thames 
Send the stems to the deer bones, to the mountain, we are people 

I want to go home with you, I refused 
By your ridges and your views 
Bracing illness before it bends 
From the Tamar to the Beauly to the blue sky, we are people 

Dissipating energy, increasing our entropy 
The grass was parted, our feet were wet 
I don’t know how this started but I’ll never forget 
The year we spent, the fear that went away 

How did this start there’s a hot stone in my heart and I wanna go home with you 
The mountain moon couldn’t pass me twice too soon coz I wanna go home with you
