Chief Jim Hopper reveals long-awaited secrets to Eleven about his old life as a police detective in New York City, confronting his past before the events of the hit show Stranger Things.&#160;&#160; &#160; Christmas, Hawkins, 1984. All Chief Jim Hopper wants is to enjoy a quiet first Christmas with Eleven, but his adopted daughter has other plans. Over Hopper&rsquo;s protests, she pulls a cardboard box marked &ldquo;New York&rdquo; out of the basement&mdash;and the tough questions begin. Why did Hopper leave Hawkins all those years ago? What does &ldquo;Vietnam&rdquo; mean? And why has he never talked about New York? Although he&rsquo;d rather face a horde of demogorgons than talk about his own past, Hopper knows that he can&rsquo;t deny the truth any longer. And so begins the story of the incident in New York&mdash;the last big case before everything changed. . . . Summer, New York City, 1977. Hopper is starting over after returning home from Vietnam. A young daughter, a caring wife, and a new beat as an NYPD detective make it easy to slip back into life as a civilian. But after shadowy federal agents suddenly show up and seize the files about a series of brutal, unsolved murders, Hopper takes matters into his own hands, risking everything to discover the truth. Soon Hopper is undercover among New York&rsquo;s notorious street gangs. But just as he&rsquo;s about to crack the case, a blackout rolls across the boroughs, plunging Hopper into a darkness deeper than any he&rsquo;s faced before.

Lyrics:
Do you see
That light inside
Is it real
Now it's in your mind

What's about
Things you've said last night
Do you care
No, I don't mind

Where did you go
No, don't leave me on my own
You have been the one
Who could make me laugh and now
It's all I know
It's all I know
It's all I know

Do you say
That I'm a child
At a time
Maybe you were right
If I could
I'd sleep all day all night
But from you
I have nowhere to hide

Where did you go
No, don't leave me on my own
You have been the one
Who could make me laugh and now
It's all I know
It's all I know
It's all I know
It's all I know

Do you hear
That sound outside
Is it real
No, it's only in my mind
What's about
Dreams you had last night
Do you care
I left them all behind

Where did you go
No, don't leave me on my own
You have been the one
Who could make me laugh and now
It's all I know
It's all I know
It's all I know
It's all I know

It's all I know
It's all I know
It's all I know
It's all I know

All I Know

Cathedral Bells - "Ephemeral"

‘Eat the Etiquette’ is the new single from Mush’s newly announced debut album 3D Routine due out on 14 February 2020 via Memphis Industries. ‘Eat the Etiquette,’ described by lead singer Dan Hyndman as a “a bit of a stream of consciousness type rant”, takes aim at the use of ‘common sense’ as societal weapon; the “sick laughing track of malicious intent” making a mockery of progressive ideas, while “manufactured sense” helps maintain the underlying and iniquitous structures of wealth and power.  

Following on from their ‘Induction Party E.P’, Leeds based Mush are circulating their own sonic mythology, blurring the lines between abstract surrealism, existentialism and social commentary. Like its predecessor ‘3D Routine’ is a sensory overload of clattering, hooky, guitar work. However, this time space emerges between the onslaughts and in this respite, room is found for new emotional depth. More expansive than ever before, ‘3D Routine’ manages to maintain the rawness of a classic debut but it’s experimentation and variety portray a band unlikely to rest on their ‘guitar band’ chops. 

Songwriter Dan Hyndman explains the genesis of the band as being “fairly boiler plate” a combination of friends old and new converging in Leeds post-Uni to form a band predominantly united in their mutual affection for the Pavement back catalogue. Finally settling on a lineup of Nick Grant (bass), Tyson (guitar) and Phil Porter (drums) the band’s progression has taken them far beyond this original vision. 

Having garnered local attention in the early days for their unhinged and often calamitous live shows in Leeds, it was the unlikely radio hit ‘Alternative Facts’, (clocking in at an uncompromising ten minutes) that brought the Mush to the attention of a wider audience. The song, one of the last releases for the legendary Too Pure Singles Club saw early support from Marc Riley and others on BBC 6music with them playing multiple sessions, and the follow up single, ‘Gig Economy’ hopping onto the 6music playlist. Roaming further afield from their hometown, Mush spent the first half of 2019 heading out around the UK, earning a reputation for their intense live performances, supporting the likes of Girl Band, The Lovely Eggs, Yak, Shame and Stereolab, as well as releasing the ‘Induction Party’ EP to great acclaim. At the tail end of summer of 2019 Mush headed to Leeds’ Green Mount Studio and with Andy Savours (Dream Wife, Our Girl, My Bloody Valentine) manning the mixing desk, their debut LP, ‘3D Routine’ was born.

If the EP was intended as admittance to the cult, ‘3D Routine’ is a fully-fledged manifesto for the age of misinformation. The twin disciplines of surrealism and realism collide in the data stream, creating the absurdity of modern times. It’s more than the lyrical content that’s mercurial with Mush. Tracks such as ‘Revising My Fee’s incisive yet worldly lyrics comment on the work/life balance, income to rent ratios and the increasingly worrying financial landscape for the younger generation, all set against a backdrop of a decade of austerity: “meal-deal critique, aspirational creed”. It’s a vital and instructive opener for the record, setting the tone for what comes next. 

The way in which the album brazenly moves from polished 3- minute punk tracks, to avant-garde spoken word, to sardonic-political funk, whilst sounding like the same band is testament to an uncompromisingly unrefined ethic and compounds the jarring nature of Mush. Together, the songs form a unified, abrasive, emotive, frenetic and entirely beguiling concoction of sound and opinion, a fast-moving snapshot of current times, relatable, politically minded and incredibly personal. Music for those who want their guitars loud and weird, and their political commentary a little less ‘on the nose’.

Your favorite pup of the new year!

Genre-defying Lush Puppy just might be the next best thing coming from The Netherlands. After their first 4 singles and debut EP in 2019, Lush Puppy is back in 2020 with even more guns blazing on new single Kill For Fun! Vocals and lyrics with the attitude of Beth Ditto meets M.I.A., a prominent rousing synth bass, subtle arpeggios, tribal chants and sturdy lyrics: honey you're fake!

Lush Puppy about Kill For Fun:
"I‘m a cool rich rapper, got my pussies on the side, wear’n my Gucci Gang Prada, see me rollin in my ride, I don’t know what I stand for, I’m always on the run, gettin’ high on power and I kill for fun."

For fans of: Peaches, Fever Ray, Sleigh Bells, The Ting Tings, Beth Ditto

What happens if you put an audiotist and a pie-loving hazard to society together? Well, you get a Lush Puppy. What is Lush Puppy you ask? It's a mix between electronica, kickass beats, punk guitar riffs and a vocalist who raps like a little demon and sings like an angel. Highly contradictory but ain't that when the real flavors come out?
Forget the served on a platter, the manners. Just take it in.

Electronic poppy madness music duo Lush Puppy are vocalist, artist and stylist Roos Ooteman and Gabriel Vezzola a.k.a. DJ Gabriel.
Roos (pronounced: Rose) studied at the Rock Academy Tilburg in The Netherlands and takes inspiration from Bat for Lashes to the Spice Girls.
Italian-born Gabriel is well known in the EDM music scene from DJ duo Gabriel & Castellon, who collaborated with Sam Feldt, Robin S and Todd Terry a.o. Lush Puppy seems far beyond his comfort zone but it's actually where he and Roos both feel they can strut their stuff!

Lush Puppy
A drunkard; A variation on "booze-hound"
She says she doesn't need to drink to have fun, but we all know she's a real lush puppy.
