Somebody Language is music, poetry and theatrical expression!

I cower before you and beg for mercy; you comply by effecting my complete destruction.

I wake up pink and raw, like a well-scrubbed boy, blinking with wonder into the surf. My nose is filled with the smell of salt, my ears with gulls and endless roaring.

My hair is newly blond and I am naked, my small frame lithe and leonine–each muscle with its own special economy. This, for turning my head just so. That, for drumming idly on my belly. My hazel eyes now a deep living brown, like flesh beneath the sun.

I drink from rock pools and eat the prawns that gather there. My stomach has learned to digest the coarse grass of the dunes. I sing to myself in strange languages and modes that were forgotten before they existed. 

The songs signify nothing. They would be songs of praise, or maybe even laments that ache from your absence, but with my first death you have also snapped the neck of all of my memories. You are no more real to me than the places beyond these dunes.

Each morning brings new demented gratitude. I stand staring dumbly on the shore and feel the water lapping at my feet. The waves are friendly tongues of bewildered dogs, welcoming me between horizons.

My name is Dylan Goff and I am a singer-songwriter from Drogheda in Ireland, living in Vienna Austria since the early 2000s. 

Musically I try to live somewhere between the indie and folk worlds, with influences ranging from The National, Frightened Rabbit and Phoebe Bridgers to Gregory Alan Isakov and Tallest Man on Earth to The Pogues and The Dubliners. I have always been inspired by the literary tradition of my home country, and writing is something I take great joy in. I hope my lyrics reflect this, and I hope you enjoy my music.

Violins and other strings. Earnest words. Experimental sounds.

Brandon “Broke String” Burnett, a luminary in the Texas music scene, brings a profound and eclectic musical journey to the forefront with his band, dubbed, The Big Iron Boys. Raised just south of Fort Worth, Broke String channels the spirit of Texas Country while infusing it with the rebellious energy of punk and a soulful grit. His distinctive style, characterized by a country crooner's soul,  and a punk rock attitude, propels his songs into the ethereal realms of rootsy rock and psychedelia, a genre they affectionately call "cosmic country."

The Fort Worth Weekly aptly described their sound as “Swampy spaghetti western."

Rooted in the rich musical tapestry of Texas, Broke String draws inspiration from legendary figures like Townes Van Zandt and WIlie Nelson, whose storytelling prowess and emotional depth have left a mark on his craft. The raw, bluesy spirit of Stevie Ray Vaughan, courses through the veins of the band, infusing their music with a fiery intensity that adds a unique edge to their cosmic country sound.
