tight grip on your thigh
driving down 95
i wanted to feel new
i wanted to feel alive
even symbiotic roots 
make concrete crack
don’t think i would be the same man coming back
people change people grow
it’s ephemeral
pills are easier to swallow
when they’re general
the world goes one way
head spins centrifugal 
retain your essence
but it’s hazy with the physical

and i don’t know what you’re doing 
but i hope that you’re doing fine
because you’ve got your life now
and i’ve got mine
we had a sweet overlap
we were a pin on an uncharted map
and you felt so close
but i can’t hold you now

we live in different states now
conversation is estranged now
choking on the words
never said never heard
don’t feel like I can reach out
communication drowns out
lines get so blurred
a love deferred

and I don’t know what you’re doing 
but I hope that you’re doing fine
because you’ve got your life now
and I’ve got mine
we had a sweet overlap
we were a pin on an uncharted map
and you felt so close
but I can’t hold you now

High Sunn 'heavenly petticoat' album released on Spirit Goth Records [SG54]

heavenly petticoat

High Sunn - blue warmth

Atlanta's Stranded (David Mansfield) is a corroded, bleary web of synths and processed guitars which sound romantic, haunting and grandiose - a space to get lost in, to find our own other worlds in. Produced and mixed by Vacant Lots’ Jared Artaud.

Stranded - Burnt Offerings

Oakland CA's Blue Ocean have been working around the fringes of the Bay Area indie scene since 2018, honing their very particular noise-disrupted racket into a unique and instantly identifiable sound. They blend elements of shoegaze, sunshine prism-pop, noise rock and electronics into a dense, sometimes disorienting soundworld that embodies a spectral mystery recalling forebears like Disco Inferno, Bark Psychosis and Flying Saucer Attack.

"Fertile State" is their debut album, following on the heels of 3 tape EPs and a LP drawn from those tapes that sold out instantly on release in 2021. Songs like "Ode," "Fertile State" and "Syncnine" show how much Blue Ocean has grown in the last few years. They've easily shrugged off many of the markers of their punk/indie roots, allowing their experimental urges free rein and and the noise to find it's own level. It's a bracing, invigorating album that truly rewards deep listening and points the way forward to an intriguing future.

Fertile State

Blue Ocean - Syncnine

'Existence Spell' asks the question are we all living in a self-created simulation, unknowingly acting our roles in various stories that over time become what we call life? The song suggests that music can break this 'existence spell' that we are all under, helping us escape the 'matrix' that we live in.

Spunsugar - Flaws (Feat. Andreas Mattsson Vocal Version)

Atlanta's Stranded (David Mansfield) is a corroded, bleary web of synths and processed guitars which sound romantic, haunting and grandiose - a space to get lost in, to find our own other worlds in. Produced and mixed by Vacant Lots’ Jared Artaud.

"Vacant Spirits" is a hyped up nervy, psychedelic post-punk song filled with paranoia and yearning. Spiky guitars and moody vocals ride on top of an energetic beat that doesn't let up until the song is finished. You get the energy of Clinic mixed with the moodiness of Interpol in a tight two and a half minute explosion.

Transition

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.
