Meg Baird ~ Interviewed on 2SER's Static

Christian Kjellvander - Reasonable Love

Lande Hekt - Lucky Now (Album Preview)

On Sunny Skies, optimism lives side by side with melancholy - it's a sonic parting of the clouds, equal parts sad and fun. Sunny Skies is a late-summer ode to emerging on the other side, after images fading as you burst into the light

Nothing that could stop me
Only sunny skies above me
No-no-nothing that could stop me
Only sunny skies above me

I’ve got my smile back, now it’s just me and friends
I like it like that, yeah we can do anything
I want it all on my plate
I want it everyday
Lets go to a party, pa-party

Feels like there’s nothing that could stop me, like that song I will survive
Only sunny skies above me, like I’m never gonna die
No-no-nothing that could stop me, like that song I will survive
Only sunny skies above me, like I’m never gonna die

Let’s go to a party, there’s one not too far away
Gonna get the front seat, wanna feel the sun on my face
I want it all on my plate
I want it everyday
Lets go to a party, pa-party
I want it all on my plate
I want it everyday
Lets go to a party, pa-party, party

Feels like there’s nothing that could stop me, like that song I will survive
Only sunny skies above me, like I’m never gonna die
No-no-nothing that could stop me, like that song I will survive
Only sunny skies above me, like I’m never gonna die
Like I’m never gonna die

No-no-nothing that could stop me
Only sunny skies above me
Nothing that could stop me
Only sunny skies above me
Like I’m never gonna die

No-no-nothing that could stop me
Only sunny skies above me

Feels like there’s nothing that could stop me, like that song I will survive
Only sunny skies above me, like I’m never gonna die
No-no-nothing that could stop me, like that song I will survive
Only sunny skies above me, like I’m never gonna die
Like I’m never gonna die

Jack Ladder ~ Interviewed on 2SER's Static

WE COULD BE BEAUTIFUL - die neue Single der österreichischen Kultband Naked Lunch ist ein einzig schöner Gedanke; ist nichts weniger als die Behauptung einer Utopie, nach der wir im Moment verlangen. Das Lied scheint alle Zeit der Welt zu haben und trägt mit stoischer Gelassenheit eine großartige Gesangsmelodie bis zur Mitte des Songs. Dann ein kurzes Innehalten, eh das Lied Tempo aufnimmt und sich in einem mehrminütigen eruptiven und euphorischen Finale wiederfindet. Kann sein, dass man nach dieser musikalischen Tour de Force und unglaublichen 6:10 min. erstmal nicht empfänglich ist für weitere Musik. Aber es soll uns nichts Schlimmeres passieren. 
„We could be beautiful … we could shine a light and then move on“
So und nicht anders geht Utopie.

Naked Lunch - We Could Be Beautiful

Pre-order: https://fastatwork.bandcamp.com/album/up-too-late-2

@fastatwork returns with another statement EP - this time from the label’s own @carreo and her closest collaborator @dannygoliger - navigating through textured atmospheres, rhythmic explorations, and immersive landscapes.

Each track was born from sampling its predecessor, creating a recursive dialogue that guides the creative flow - from the warped dub throughlines of ‘Tricky One’ to the intricate, delicate uptempo delight that is ‘Exit Plan'.
