So Much

'Marbles' is the second track on TOWNS debut album 'Get By' due 2nd June from Bristol's much lauded DIY label Howling Owl Records. The album is available physically on limited vinyl and cd as well as digitally from online retailers:

Vinyl: http://www.howlingowlrecords.bigcartel.com/product/towns-get-by-debut-album-12-ltd-to-100-presale
CD: http://www.howlingowlrecords.bigcartel.com/product/towns-get-by-debut-album-cd-presale


In keeping with this DIY affair 'Get By' was recorded in Bristol with friends and fellow label mates Dom Mitchison (Velcro Hooks) and was mastered by Oliver Wilde, with additional help in the early stages by Hugo Bishop (Oliver Wilde). The album also features appearances from Robin Stewart (The Naturals), Dom Mitchison (Velcro Hooks) and Richard Clarke (Scarlett Rascal) on penultimate track 'Everyone's Out'. While the album artwork was taken by girlfriend and former member of GuMM Lily Cook.

'Get By' sees childhood friends TOWNS create a spaced out suburban escapism that combines the experimental guitar sounds and DIY aesthetics of psych and shoegaze with the melodies of 60s and 90s guitar pop. Seeing the excitement of rock’n’roll as a way to escape the everyday humdrum of growing up in Weston-super-Mare, they believe in the beauty, glamour and power of ‘proper’ pop music.

Already in their short career TOWNS have experienced many highs and lows and know how volatile the music industry can be. Being lauded by NME as a best new band of 2011, based purely on two demoes before they had even played their first show, to their former booking agent running off with over £1000 of the bands money, virtually crippling the band, to the high of working with legend Owen Morris (Oasis, Verve), only for the label paying the bill to get swallowed up by a major. It's been pretty eventful but TOWNS are proud to be finally sharing their debut album with you.

Nothing beats the fun of touring so the band constantly tour. TOWNS have had the pleasure to play alongside Paul Weller, Spiritualized, The Twang, Toy, Eagulls and play the following shows in support of the record:

19 Apr - Sixty Million Postcards, Bournemouth
20 Apr - Loves Café, W-s-M (w/Oliver Wilde)
21 Apr - The Cavern, Exeter
24 Apr - Oakford Social Club, Reading

02 May - Esquires, Bedford
03 May - The Square, Harlow
10 May - Lennons, Southampton
15 May - Moles, Bath
17 May - Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham
21 May - Old Blue Last, London

TOWNS - Marbles

Cold

“Give Me a Fucking Break” 
This song is for you, David.
You came into my Life with a lot of Love and a lot of Intention.
You wanted something Real, Fast, Fully, Immediately.
And I understand why — you feel deeply, and you don’t hide it.
That is something rare and beautiful in you.

But I need to say this clearly:

We are not walking the same Path anymore.

Not because there is no Love,
but because the Way we Love is different.

You moved toward closeness with Speed —
I needed Space to breathe.
You wanted Answers —
I was still learning to understand my own Heart.

This Song is not Anger.
This Song is not Regret.
This Song is the Moment where I finally speak the Truth:

It’s over between Us.

Not in a dramatic Way.
Not in a cruel Way.
Just in a real Way.

Thank you for what you felt.
Thank you for what you gave.
Thank you for the part of the Journey we shared.

But my life is moving forward in a different Direction now.
And I am choosing Peace, Clarity, and Myself.

The Stars stare down,
but do not intercede.
The best they can do is shine on while you bleed.
His bright eye went black..
...so you crawled to the mall with a knife in your back.

What is the matter with you kid?

KIlled for Kicks
I see you haunting this town yeah
But you're nowhere to be found
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-
KIlled for Kicks
A suicide in repose, your
waiting for what god knows
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-

You are the shadow 
that casts itself,
folded tween the pages and put back on the shelf.
Those siamese summers
Of songs unsung
It dawns on your darkly you were never young.

What was the matter with you kid?

KIlled for Kicks
You’re at the disco till dawn yeah 
You dance like you’re trying to be born
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-
KIlled for Kicks
Between the flashes of strobe, you
Go from ICARUS to JOBE. 
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-


OH DON'T LOSE YOURSELF
CUZ YOU'RE ALREADY ALONE
THERE'S NOT EVEN A WORD FOR WHAT YOU WOULD BE THEN.
OH DON'T LOSE YOURSELF
CUZ YOU'RE ALREADY ALONE
THERE'S NOT EVEN A WORD FOR WHAT YOU WOULD BE THEN.

KIlled for Kicks
I see you haunting this town yeah
But you're nowhere to be found
Do-do-do-do
KIlled for Kicks
A suicide in repose, your
waiting for what god knows
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-

Oh Johnny  Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny 
you should take a walk on your own,
No one can see you crying in the rain. 

Oh Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny johnny 
They said that you’d ‘Never Walk Alone’
Cuz they thought that you’d believe anything.

Oh Johnny  Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny 
you should take a walk on your own,
No one can see you crying in the rain. 

Oh Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny LISTEN TO ME 
They said that you’d ‘Never Walk Alone’
Cuz they thought that you’d believe anything.

Carrie & Lowell Live

Redford (For Yia-Yia and Pappou) - Live

Lost Map are excited to welcome latest signings Bas Jan, the London experimental post-punk trio built around the remarkable and distinctive voice and songs of multi-instrumentalist and composer Serafina Steer. A brilliant, bonkers, shape-shifting song about the weird tedium of a text message spat (“Drop it? Why don’t you drop it!”), Argument – available to stream and share now – is the first single to be revealed from Bas Jan’s forthcoming debut album Yes I Jan, due early 2018. The track was produced by Leo Abrahams. Serafina is one of the latest winners of the prestigious Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Awards for Artists.

Santigold Run the Road
Out now: https://santigold.lnk.to/IDWGFSID

New Music!! Check out my song “Run the Road” from my new project “I Don’t Want: The Gold Fire Sessions”

Lyrics:
Hour past time, and I didn’t want to wake up
Eh eh oh
All that’s fine, are we headin back home
Headin back home
Headin back home
Cross that line and the second we make it
All come round, now they sayin don’t go

I’m tired, still we rockin all days
Racin ‘gainst time, think we’re neck to neck
Got people talking that talk
Copy the rhyme but ain’t in their walk 
From outside looks like a circle
From on this side it seems like a wall
Rough ride, get me through it some way
Another long flight, make me earn the pay

We’re gone to run the road now
Gone, we’re gone now, we’re gone now
We’re gone to run the road now
Gone, gone now, we’re gone now

Face don’t lie, so I put on my make-up
Eh eh oh
Awake all night, can’t make my mind go slow
Mind wont slow
Mind wont slow

Flash that smile, it’s an industry of service
Don’t let ‘em  in when your humor’s too low
Never too low
Never too low

Hang tight, there’s a monkey on me
There’s A deal I made gonna set me free
Got people lost in their thoughts
A glory sometimes, so I pay the cost
And I call it out when I go
One town down, tryin kill ‘em all
It all rolls by like a highway
Take it all in cuz it’s gone today

We’re gone to run the road now
Gone, we’re gone now, we’re gone now
We’re gone to run the road now
Gone, gone now, we’re gone now
I don’t believe its for all of us
Tell you when I’m in
It’s a bit much
But I believe in what I’m here for
I believe in the rhthym of the road
I don’t got a need for so much more
That kind of free, kind of freedom is all I want

Santigold - Run The Road

I have more CDs than I need but less than I want

We're not the best, but we're pretty good.
