Lyrics:
You ought to know
I'm toeing the line but falling too fast
You take it slow
Holding her years to your chest

I want to know
All that slips through the floor
I can't forgo
What you seem to ignore

You better cast a lie between us
That you can't shake anymore
Remember the breadth of life between us
That we can't bridge but you can't dismiss from mind

If you should ever need a helping hand
I would break my back and carry you
Strung like a marionette

You could paint the town a crimson red
But you can't see the precious gold in you
That I can't seem to forget

You ought to know
I'm toeing the line but falling too fast
You take it slow
Holding her years to her chest

I want to know
All that slips through the floor
I can't forgo
What you seem to ignore

You better cast a lie between us
That you can't shake anymore
Remember the breadth of life between us
That we can't bridge but you can't dismiss anymore

She's said it once before
Left folded in the drawer now
Locked out

Now you’re shaken to the core
So much to answer for now
Get out
What might come about?

If you should ever need a helping hand
I would break my back and carry you
Strung like a marionette

You could paint the town a crimson red
But you can't see the precious gold in you
That I can't seem to forget

Crimson Red

http://linktr.ee/lettingup
I don't mind if I bruise my knees to ask your hand
But you always lift me up so I can see every part of me
Will you be my gemini with me all the time
I love that you're always the first to dance
I love that you're always the one around to say it's okay
I hope you know even my friends feel the same about you
I can't believe it's been 8 years
You used to leave and disappear
You used to even have red hair
Will you be my gemini with me all the time
It was always your love

Kindsight - Queen Of Cowboys

Leeds quartet Crake have today announced their debut album, ‘Humans’ Worst Habits’. It arrives via Fika Recordings on April 8th. The band have also shared the album’s lead single, ‘Winter’s Song’. 

Led by enigmatic songwriter Rowan Sandle, Crake is driven by her endless curiosity. Armed with her gently cracking vocal, and inspiration from writers like Shirley Jackson and Nan Shepherd, she sings of crinoids, slime mould and pussy willow. When they supported Buck Meek at Brudenell Social Club, Buck found himself so beguiled by Sandle and her band that he invited them to support Big Thief on their UK and EU tour in 2019. Crake duly obliged and have been building towards their debut full-length ever since. 

Much of the forthcoming album revolves around the death of Sandle’s friend Anna, who died in Syria after being hit by a Turkish air strike. Anna was working for a woman’s liberation group in the war-stricken country when the tragedy took place. ‘Humans’ Worst Habits’ explores the grief that followed and the lessons learnt from dealing with such a significant loss. 

Sandle does, however, find space to explore more themes alongside this grief, such as cruelty and queer nature. On lead single ‘Winter’s Song’ she acknowledges the cruelty and coldness that exists within us all, and questions how we can continue to grow and love whilst remaining true to that. 

Speaking about the track, she said: “Winter’s Song is about the absolute mundane beauty of being fallible. It's a true story, I saw the moon rise but swore it was the sun setting. I think about this line a lot: “keep a little coldness in you, just wear it soft and gentle” Be soft, be kind, be honest. Being unremarkable has its own beauty.” 

Sandle’s love for queer nature is so fervent that it makes the experience of listening to Crake akin to that of stumbling on an entirely new world. Sandle believes that life isn’t as black and white as we’ve been taught, and thinks nature holds the key to revealing the true nature of human experience. The appearances of things like slime mould - single-celled organisms that form a single body when in search of food  - brittle starfish - a type of starfish whose awareness isn’t concentrated in one place - and other such oddities furnish ‘Humans’ Worst Habits’ with a folklore all of its own. 

‘Humans’ Worst Habits’ will send you down multiple rabbit holes and you’ll emerge from each with a newfound appreciation for the complexities of the world. Perhaps even more important than this though is the humanity that lies at the very heart of this debut full-length. Whether it’s in the sensitivity in how she portrays the loss of her friend, the depiction of our most base instincts - namely cruelty, passion and love - or the sincere, pure quality of the songwriting itself, it’s this that makes ‘Humans’ Worst Habits’ essential, and invaluable listening.

Winter's Song

Crake - Winter's Song

'71 (deathbed)

This album is an inner journey in constant motion. It explores the invisible spaces between action and stillness, between momentum and pause. Each track feels like a transition — slow signals, unseen lines, held breaths, and steps that keep moving without urgency.

Rather than chasing instant peaks, the music invites immersion. It unfolds as a nocturnal, introspective, urban experience where time stretches and emotion flows quietly but steadily. Designed to be heard as a complete body of work, the album moves like a single continuous piece — the body in motion, the mind at rest.

Musical Style

The foundation is contemporary electronic music, influenced by:

Emotional / Deep House

Atmospheric Synth-Pop

Electronic Dream Pop

Ambient and Downtempo textures

Retro-futuristic and analog sound design

Steady but gentle rhythms, deep basslines, warm synthesizers, long delays, and spacious reverbs create a sense of forward motion without rush. The production emphasizes space, air, and detail, allowing each sound to breathe.

Inspiration

The album draws inspiration from:

Inner movement that continues even in stillness

Emotional transitions that are unseen but deeply felt

Nighttime cities, distant lights, slow transmissions

The idea that progress doesn’t always mean speed — sometimes it means presence

This is music for walking alone, late-night drives, quiet reflection, or simply being in the moment. A subtle statement runs through the album:

Everything keeps moving, even when it feels still.

Suspended in Air
