This feels a tiny bit reminiscent me of something FELT mighta done.  And that's high praise

Debuted in my weekly personal indie chart on August 23, 2020 edition :)

We walked under grey skies;
words left unspoken, love's demise:
fading dreams in shadowed lies.

In your eyes, a distant light
lost in the maze of unmet desire.
Our hearts, no longer on fire.

    Now it's time to spread my wings, to fly,
    under the sunlit, morning sky.
    Tomorrow's breath, a sweeter sigh;
    in the dawn, I'll find my high.

Please, don't hold back, nor plead, nor try.
In our story's end, let's not deny
it’s time for the last goodbye.

    Now it's time to spread my wings, to fly,
    under the sunlit, morning sky.
    Tomorrow's breath, a sweeter sigh;
    in the dawn, I'll find my high.

Me and ChatGPT

Time to fly (lyrics)

Melby - Overthinking

Shoppings storming lead single “Initiative”, taken from the forthcoming Album "All Or Nothing", was written in a Seattle basement. Like the album as a whole, the track thrums with purpose, marking a confident new phase for the band. Referencing governments who shirk responsibilities but place the blame on individuals, the song has a frustrated groove that’s propelling, motivated by necessity to keep going against the grain.
You can pre-order the Album here: https://shopping.lnk.to/AllOrNothingWE

Shopping - Initiative

paint it gold
my centerfold
reverse inverse
immerse in afterglow

pretty world
no, i won't come down today
a little girl
she laughs and spins around

what can I say
i wish it all this way
in love i wanna drown
such easy prey
i open up
i jump, i feel it all around

seeing what I can't below
inside
i'm feeling what you can't
i can't describe
seeing worlds out of outside 
my mind
reverse inverse immerse 
outside this life

fill a void
with brand new stars
immerse inverse
the light that's in the dark

what can I say
i wish it all this way
in love i wanna drown
such easy preyi open up
i jump, i feel it all around
seeing what I can't below
inside
i'm feeling what you can't
i can't describe
seeing worlds out of outside 
my mind
reverse inverse immerse 
outside this life

Following up their well-received 2018 album "Used To Yesterday," LA's Smokecreens are back with the excellent new record "A Strange Dream." Produced by David Kilgour from NZ legends The Clean, "A Strange Dream" shows a band at the peak of it's talents, ably blending influences like The Go-Betweens, UK DIY indie and pop, and of course Flying Nun into a compelling, compulsive album. From the jaunty pop of opener "Fork In The Road" to the rocking "Streets of Despair" and the dreamy "On and On" this is a record that clearly shows a band that knows it's way around a timeless guitar riff and aching pop melody. Gorgeous ballads like "Nighttime Skies" and "I Love Only You" add a new depth to Smokescreens' sound, and the cover of Scrotum Poles' DIY classic "Pick The Cats Eyes Out" is perfect, and perfectly fun. A future classic.

Smokescreens - Fork In the Road

Stationary Life

Slumberland began operations in 1989, inspired by such musical happenings as C-86, early Creation, Sarah, Postcard, and the UK post-punk indie label scene. Since then we've covered a lot of territory, from punk to lofi noise to shoegaze and of course pop, releasing records from bands like The Aislers Set, Boyracer, Stereolab, Rocketship, Lorelei, The Ropers, The Saturday People and Black Tambourine.

By the mid 2000s we were starting to see a resurgence of interest in guitar pop and the start of the ongoing vinyl revival: the perfect environment for Slumberland! We launched into our latest phase of activity with as string of classic releases from The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Crystal Stilts, Frankie Rose, Veronica Falls, Allo Darlin', Joanna Gruesome and so many more.

2018 is our twenty-ninth year we are still going strong, ploughing our own furrow and bringing you unique, genre-defining (and genre-defying!) releases from bands like Smokescreens, Tony Molina, Papercuts, Business of Dreams, Peel Dream Magazine, D.A. Stern, The Spook School, Frankie Rose, Young Guv, Terry Malts and many, many more. As always, we operate entirely outside of the echo chamber of trends, fashion and phoney hipness. Slumberland bands are independent in the best way possible -- making music devoid of bullshit and true to their own voices, regardless of current popular taste.
