Silver Sound Explosion - Sidekick

Blue Wave Waiting

The Bay Area's Smiles are back with their second 7" and what a blast it is. Superbly-crafted pop is the order of the day here, with echoes of everything from prime Teenage Fanclub to Big Star to the southern power-pop of folks like Dwight Twilley and Tommy Hoehn. "Gone For Good" is 3:33 of pop perfection, with a marvelous melody, heavenly harmonies and a bit of a triumphant guitar solo sneaking in at the end. On the flip side we get another gem in "This Boy," a brief tune that still feels fully-formed, rather in the style of fellow West Bay songsmith Tony Molina. It's developing into quite the scene they have down there, and as long as the results are as thrilling as this single we can't wait to hear what's next. Part of the SLR30 Singles Series.

Gone For Good 7"

Slip out of your dress, my love
Let’s share a bottle of wine
Wade our feet in the river 
And then go swimming 
In the water we feel light

A drop of silver
Dripped off your chin
And you held me
In the summer once 
Am I still shimmering?

“Whole of the Moon”
And “Born to Run”
You’re dancing in the mirror in the middle of the night 
All by yourself, might I join?
We set off headlong
On a curious course
Just a couple of lovebirds
Flying somewhere warm

I wish we had met
When we were young
Would I have found you too impressive? 
I have always been 
The more delicate one

Holy hell
What age are we now?
Our friends are parents and married 
And things I still have yet 
To wrap my head around

We hollow out 
The whole of us
And lay our guts and secrets 
On a table built
Of ash and elephant tusks

Your fortune was read
And given on a Sunday
Said, “Dress your pain in diamond skirts and 
Rub your wounds
In salt and ginger”

“Heart of Glass”
And “Love Will Tear Us Apart”
You’re dancing in the mirror in the morning light

Have I ever said you’re my candle in the dark?
We set off headlong
On a curious course
We can be couple of lovebirds
Finding our way north

“One Day Like This”
and “I Melt With You”
You’re dancing in the mirror in the golden light 
Of the afternoon, and I will too
You’re a stubborn soul
And I’m a fragile man
Aren’t we a couple of lovebirds
With beautiful plans?

Dream Noise

In Ceremony

Swimming

An old rehearsal song from a band that never did any gigs that I liked and have tried to breathe new life into. Master and mixed by @gary-brady at Total Thrive Productions.

Words:
The light is reflected through a lens and burned on
As a snapshot in time
Turn the pages, see the ageing faces
That put the dead into line
 
It’s up to you
It’s up to me
We’ll take it down to the wire
The starting gun won’t hold you up
 
Don’t try hard to fight
The battles won you know that could have stopped the war
Only God knows
 
The past lies all chequered, a chorus for the ages 
So leave those flags far behind
All these maybes, they just drive me crazy
Just beat the clocks down to size
 
Do you hear me? Am I speaking in tongues?
You think I’m a joke
But the joke’s on you
What goes around you son of a gun
I’m not coming alone
A duo, not a solo
Walk in calm solitude
I dig your son of a gun

Down to the wire

He Told You Twice

Love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out
Oh love, love’s not meant to hurt you bad
Bruising inside out
Oh love, love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out

You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again
You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be 
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again

His tears won’t heal the wounds
Washing over bruises that he gives to you
His tears won’t heal the wounds
Washing over bruises that he gives to you

Oh love, love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out
Oh love, love’s not meant to hurt you bad
Bruising inside out

You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again
You didn’t think that he could be, he could be
You didn’t know that he could be, he could be
You didn’t guess that he could be, he could be
Until he tells you that he won’t tell you again

His tears won’t heal the wounds
Washing over bruises that he gives to you

Oh love, love’s not meant to make you sad
Bruising inside out

Lyrics:
Never thought that I could be so cold?
Try me
After all the rest have all gone home
And I’m
Living on a caldera how dare I
Temper myself
Fortunate that I’m not 
Sinking
These days
These days

Thinking of the past that other world
Spying
Whose enamored authors wore their 
Better selves?
Honestly the truth seems
Oh, so very empty,
Mislaid 
These days
These days
These days
These days

These Days

new single "High" by Super City from Baltimore

High

Taken from 'Count Bateman' - https://heyitsfrog.bandcamp.com/album/count-bateman
Premiered @ Various Small Flames -https://varioussmallflames.co.uk/2019/08/01/frog-its-something-i-do

Lyrics:
"Old lovers in the cold air, said she never wants to get in the way
Stayed up watching Colbert, all the lights run cross her face
That’s right it’s broken and you can’t get back together
There’s something unspoken when her hand touches the leather
That’s all the claim the call you can rely on
Pulled into gear and followed in a Scion
There’s something in your midst
I’m thinking of you it’s something I do
Fall colors and the damp air and you don’t know what to say
Everything that you did there was just to make her stay
That’s right I’m fucked up and it can’t get any better
There’s something in the rough cuts and it makes you can’t forget her
That’s all the claim the call you can rely on
Pulled into gear and followed in a Scion
There’s something in your midst
I’m thinking of you it’s something I do"

All I Have To Do is Dream by The Everly Brothers (Cover)

Mother

Monograms is the alias of front-man and multi-instrumentalist Ian Jacobs. Over the past few years, the project quickly expanded from a Brooklyn, NYC bedroom recording experiment to a full band endeavor - current lineup includes Rich Carrillo (drums), Michelle Feliciano (synth) and Sam Bartos (bass). Since its conception, Monograms has been performing everyone they can get feet and sound to stage, supporting international indie regulars Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Goggs (Ty Segall/Ex Cult) Sunflower Bean, Ezra Furman, Caveman, A Place To Bury Strangers, Girl Band, Be Forest, Vertical Scratchers (Merge Records), Dreamers, Gang Of Youths, Quilt and more; as well as attaining notable press from all over the U.S. and Europe. The music of Monograms is eclectic by design; mosaic pallets that use Jacobs’ vocals, melodic threads and lucid rythms to hold it together. The foundation of pop-song structures wrapped in new-wave tones and angular riffs, point the band’s approach at previous decades and the heyday of alternative college radio, as well as contemporary DIY vibes that pull from similar genres. Monograms is Brooklyn’s Nuke Wave.

Monograms - Don't Fight For It

......
She never caught my eye 
Stonefaced while she passed by 
When she asked, Julian come dance 
I said, not a chance 

Gee im such a fool 
Thought I was way too cool 
Didnt mind 
When she gave me signs 
I said stand in line 

But now 
She is all I want 
What I need 
Falling hard 
All day and night 
All my life 
Falling hard 

Now she don’t look my way 
Thinks im a big cliché 
When I ask 
Honey come dance 
She´ll say not a chance 

Gee im such a fool 
Thought I was way too cool 
She dont mind 
When I give her signs 
She´ll say stand in line 

But now 
She is all I want 
What I need 
Falling hard 
All day and night 
All my life 
Falling hard

All I Want

Lyrics:

Feyde & Gio:
I’ve been waiting round for a while now, yeah
I’m gonna make it through the clouds
Break me down, and watch me explode out
You can’t stop the ball when it drops down
You can break me down or watch me climb

Gio:
Childish because of the internet 
Lets get into it everyone illegitimate 
It harder to get intimate queen Elizabeth 
I’ve been in it way to long.
They bitten they ain’t written shit 
Hey whos song did you put and
You ask is it good or
Well it’s okay, but yeah I could’ve
You think you’d do better
Well yeah I would’ve
Should I have played your shit
Yes you should’ve
Everybody make a mistake though
You pissed and lookin like Blake though
You spit that kit kat shit, please give me a break though
Yeah, I’m just hatin to hate though
You can criticize its just some shit that I wrote
I’m speaking the truth like a man under oath 
The weight of the world and the state of my mind never fumble the shit got my hand under both
And I won’t abandon my woes 
I had my hands on the ropes 
I planned my attack and that’s when I fought back 
No I didn’t leave that up to chance or to hope
Everyone wait for the drop like my head in the guillotine 
Handle it easily 
Scandalous deity 
Fan of me recently 
But I been dropping hot shit for a while now
Got your 15 minutes and you only ran a mile wow 
I’ll be running shit even when the race over 
If that’s your spot then you a placeholder
I’m hot but the ice made me way colder  
Send y’all to the ether when takeover 
 
Feyde & Gio:
I’ve been waiting round for a while now, yeah
I’m gonna make it through the clouds
Break me down, and watch me explode out
You can’t stop the ball when it drops down
You can break me down or watch me climb

Ethan Ardalan:
I’m out yo business so stay out my business
Counting your racks while I’m counting my blessings
Getting too close like, woah now
Gimme my space, like 3 2
1 and im off of this planet Apollo
You looking like Waldo 
Calling my bluff but I’m all in
House full of aces topless
That nonsense,
Just need my squad, my girl and my fam
All of these riches don’t make me a man
Diamonds is shiney I shine on my own
Glitter and glamour don’t glisten my soul
Woah
Man
I don’t know why but I’m 
Feeling like why do I try with them 
I just wanna give game put some life in them
Make them stand up but they like sittin
It’s just the way that it go 
Lookin over the fence my tippie toes
Hurt
Grass looking greener on my 
side 
I been floating on a new 
plane
New plane, new wings, new wave 
Fuck you mean that I changed I
Grew up a little I flew by
You could of came but you left now
Ooh 
Don’t even worry we good 
Life is a movie we playing a role
You could believe it or be who you are 
You ain’t no different we bleed the same blood

Chasing The Light / Work It (Soulwax Remix) x Lara (Daniel Avery Remix)

Chasing The Light

https://xulzolar.lnk.to/Nightfalls 
Ronald: "Nightfalls is not only the title track of our upcoming EP, it‘s also, at least for me, the most personal one. The original idea for the song is pretty old. It started with thoughts about sleeping problems and the atmosphere of nighttime in general, which came immediately with the chorus-melody. Then I showed it to the band and in the process of working on it together, it became something very different. More energetic, almost reggae-ish and less melancholic. The original demo actually sounded more like a low-fi industrial track than like a typical XZ song.“

Produced & recorded by Fabian Langer (co-producer AnnenMayKantereit, Neufundland etc.) at Energiekreis Zuckerhut Studios.
