LYRICS -

Small talk
Everything we’ve ever said
Save your breath
Asking me if I’ve moving on
The evidence says I haven’t yet

Singing along with the dial tone
Call it a sad duet
Can’t think of a thing to say to you that I won’t regret
So many hurts unanswered
So many endings left to unpack

Who’s to say
What to do?
How am I to know?
Where’s your love
When’d it die?
Why’d you let it go?
You let it go

Four lines
I’ve been tracing through the memories of the great abyss
And I’ve heard you call
But I’m moving on to bargaining
No need to reminisce

So I’m singing along with the dial tone
Sound of a sad duet
Can’t think of a thing to say to you that I won’t regret
So many numbers counted
Counting down the days

Who’s to say
What to do?
How am I to know?
Where’s your love
When’d it die?
Why’d you let it go?
You let it go

A Mirror Sometimes

Lyrics: 
time time time 
who cares if it lasts? 
got a whole new life 
just to think of the past 

time time time
can't you feel it's moving fast?
with you hands on my hips
I swear it used to stand still 

don't say it's over
lets go backwards, it's closer
don't say it's over 
come on, we've never been closer!

time time time 
I'm in the palm of your hand
with you my darkest secrets
they'll run out in the sand

time time time 
with you the promise of change
put your hands on my hips 
lets pretend we still fit

don't say it's over
lets go backwards, it's closer
don't say it's over 
come on, we've never been closer!

all I do is pretend
(hold on, don't say it!) 
think it's time that this ends
(hold on, don't say it!) 
running right out of my hands
(hold on, don't say it!) 
I think it's time this ends

this time, it's over
the world will keep moving forward
it's time, it's over
it's alright to still love her

Time Time Time (I'm in the Palm of Your Hand)

Salt Lake City-based Indie Singer-Songwriter Josaleigh Pollett will return on October 28th with “Radio Player,” an electronics-infused and Poltergeist-inspired new single. Here, Josaleigh is reunited with long-time collaborator Jordan Watko (Crowd Shy) for the first time since Jordan’s relocation to Japan, making this their first recorded output since 2023’s highly acclaimed “In the Garden, By the Weeds,” which NPR Music’s Bob Boilen featured on All Songs Considered.

Despite the distance between them, the pair opted to make their first cross-continent collaboration more ambitious and exploratory than what came before. Initially finding acclaim in 2020 with their ‘No Woman Is the Sea’ album, before going on to share bills with St. Vincent, Torres, Deep Sea Diver, DeVotchKa, Mini Trees, Hibou, and Kilby Block Party, “Radio Player” sees their sound continue to evolve. This new slowburning single merges analogue atmospherics, Indie Rock drive, and Pop melodies to create something that feels haunting, claustrophobic, and cathartic.

Speaking on their return, Josaleigh comments:

"Radio Player is a song about memory and fear, loosely based on seeing the movie Poltergeist at too young an age. It is a journey through the hallways of childhood that we leave a light on within. A pink light flickers on and beckons the listener through, releasing them changed and covered in ectoplasm five minutes later.

In true independent DIY fashion and similar to 2023's In The Garden, By The Weeds, this new song is recorded mostly at home between my Salt Lake City make-shift home studio, and Jordan's apartment in Japan. The difference this time is that we're bringing in more collaborations and new instrumentation. In addition to mixing and mastering, Nashville's Andrew Goldring helped with production and played some instruments on Radio Player, as well as being a part of the live band that played Kilby Block Party earlier this year. Radio Player really got its feet under it in a live band setting, and we tried to bring more of that to our production without losing the electronic-based production that Jordan is so fluent in. 

This is the first song we made together since Jordan moved to Japan in 2024, and instead of letting distance dampen our collaboration, we really tried to lean into the chaos and confusion of creating from different ends of different days while an ocean apart. I think a lot of that anxiety and newness mixed with the dedication of friendship drives this new music.”

Hull-based collective O’Phantom return with their first release since their self-titled, self-funded EP dropped in May this year. The new single, Something (I Know), marks a bold continuation of the band’s introspective, lo-fi sound. Featuring Lucy Jowett (Dead Naked Hippies), the track builds on O’Phantom’s signature aesthetic - melding shimmering guitars, dual harmonies, and ghostly layered vocals to quietly yet powerfully explore themes of loss, ageing, and isolation. 

Fresh from two packed shows at this year’s Great Escape in Brighton and a run of dates across grassroots music venues nationwide, the DIY East Yorkshire outfit embodies the spirit of the UK’s underground music scene - one that values community over social media hype. Songwriter Daniel reflects on the single: “Something (I Know) was the first song we wrote together. It started as a few chords on an acoustic guitar and grew into this brooding, atmospheric post-punk track - thanks in no small part to Rowan’s (bass) knack for deconstructing song structures. Working with Matt Peel (TRAAMS, Yard Act, Honesty) on the recording really brought it to life. We came out with a track we’ll love forever.”
