MAY 2022 PART I

The songs on Things That I Confuse pretty much wrote themselves in a frenzy. Still, they sound more Spunsugar than ever. It's still as timeless and nostalgic as it is fresh. The four songs consist of two more poplike tracks and two that have kept the more noisy aggressive sound that has become a staple of the band. Now there's an added layer of an icy lo-fi feel. References to giallo films and Japanese movie monsters work to tell stories of close relationships, trauma and regret that keeps one up at night. Every second is though trough, there's no unnecessary fluff. Every note serves a purpose on this EP.

LYRICS
Panic stations, it feels like vertigo
Might be misreading it but even so
Did you ever notice that idea start to grow?
Misinformation on the radio

I don't like it but you reap what you sow
So misleading with that puppet show
My advice is to forget what you're told
Shout and kick and scream until our blood runs cold

Nothing to prove nothing to lose
And if you take that like you're on the outside looking in

Give me something with meaning
And I will show you something to believe in
But if you just try and deceive me or mislead me
You better run before the claws come out

Hazy illusions are clouding up the sky
All those visions leave you asking why
My intention is to live and let live
Give everything you've got till you've got nothing to give

Nothing to prove nothing to lose
And if you take that like you're on the outside looking in

Give me something with meaning
And I will show you something to believe in

But if you just try and deceive me all the lies that you hear blurring out your TV
It is your mission to heal division so go and rally all the people who will listen

North Wales Psychedelic rock band 'Holy Coves' return with a brand new single 'Desert Storm' which is set for release on 29th of April via prolific North Wales Label 'Yr Wyddfa Records'.

Dropping swiftly into the slip-stream and following on from the successful 'The Hurt Within' which was released last month, 'Desert Storm' really sets the psych mood with droney riffs, hazy vocals on an epic musical landscape.

Lead by Welsh Singer-Songwriter Scott Marsden, 'Holy Coves' find themselves crossing an unseen threshold on a fantastical new journey where new psych-hazed material spells an exciting new era for the collective.

Through long time friend and Producer David Wrench, 'Holy Coves' were put in touch with Texan Producer Erik Wofford (The Black Angels / Explosions In The Sky) and have built quite a magical working relationship, one where Wofford found himself on Mixing and Mastering duties for the material and certainly contributes to their new sound.

Promises

Becoming your true self is a game often played in inches. Pockets of discovery and growth can appear behind the obscurity of frustration, leading to stretches of brilliance. It’s a visual Evan Brock ties to his latest project. Speaking about the records in its canon (debut Slowly Spiraling Towards the Light and the forthcoming I can feel an ending), “moments of Laika Songs are supposed to sound like when you look up through the trees and can see a little sky peeking through, and the light hits the leaves just right.”

The intersection of the natural and the artificial is where Laika Songs gains most of its inertia. Fragmented synth lines intermingle with everything from lumbering acoustic guitars to luxurious saxophones, bridging the gap between environmental zen and digital confusion. I can feel an ending expands the search for meaning first dispatched on the first LP by collaborating with a wide variety of musicians and friends to divine some clearer answers.

Emboldened by post-pandemic connectivity and the power of letting control fall to chance, Evan reached out to potential players with nothing but demos and deep knowledge of their musical histories. Stems would serve as signposts, but finished products diverged from original designs. The result accidentally mirrors Evan’s...  more
