Feel Like Shit (Cover)

tell me why you're always blue 
tell me why you act the way you do
baby let's go for a ride
we both know the world only works when side by side

tell me that it's all just a dream

tell me where you went last night
tell me why I'm always wrong and you're right
what about the girl I knew
It don't mean anything when I say I love you

I can't change the fucking greeting on my voicemail

About the 'Person' LP by P.E.

Person is the debut from NYC's P.E., a band born of the city's art-punk underground and dedicated to freaky experimentation. Comprising Veronica Torres, Jonathan Campolo, and Benjamin Jaffe (all of the beloved and freshly defunct Pill) alongside Jonathan Schenke and Robert Jones of the electronic/art-rock favorite Eaters, P.E. features some of NYC's most notable experimental voices. Early shows were entirely improvisational, allowing the group to develop a collaborative chemistry that led to an equally free-form recording process. 

The resulting LP displays the group’s collective experience writing memorable songs, matched with a dedication to tearing them apart at the seams. Recorded at Schenke's Studio Windows, Person holds the spark of P.E.'s early improvisations in its clattering industrial percussion, zigzagging synths and sax, and colorful dystopian poetry. The group's natural language results in a sonic lexicon reflecting the unnatural surroundings of their adopted home in NYC—chaotic yet alluring, gnarly, and fun. Sold and packaged with a tender tone, this is music for fully-formed persons aware of their ideological discrepancies. Turn on the human music of the 21st century.

“Soft Dance” Lyrics

A soft dance
-Night drive alone with you-
Laughing our heads off.

Touch my face and I'll sing you a song,
though your heart may be broken.

We dance to forget out heads,
We dance to lose our heads.

We are just passing through...
We are just passing through.

A soft dance
-I’d rather contemplate abstract thoughts with you - 
And I'm also good with color. 

A soft dance
We dance to lose our heads,
We dance to forget our heads

Ohhh and don't forget to have a good time!
Laughing our heads off!
Tripping our heads off!

Released in February 1980, their first album "Strange Boutique" – featuring the band's percussion-heavy theme song (predating Adam & The Ants' "Kings of the Wild Frontier" by months) and the Johnny Marr-anticipating "Love Goes Down the Drain" – caught The Monochrome Set in full flight, quickly followed by the equally taut, funny and adventurously dynamic "Love Zombies".

@shoppingband second single 'For Your Pleasure'
From album 'All Or Nothing' - Out February 7th.

“‘For Your Pleasure’ is a song about frustration, the feeling of always wanting more, needing material things to distract or gratify us,” says Shopping. “It’s about consumerism but also searching for meaning in life. That feeling of longing that never really goes away even when you have the things, the job, the status or the person you thought you wanted. I think people who create music or art know what that feels like particularly.”

Loose Fit - Loose Fit

Sydney AUS quartet Loose Fit are sharing their debut single "Pull The Lever." Taken from the forthcoming self-titled EP, set for release through FatCat Records on April 3, "Pull The Lever" wastes no time in marking the band's intent. A purposeful, broad-shouldered, looping bass motif is set front-and-centre against wiry guitar chuntering and scatter-gun percussion. Lead singer Anna Langdon marries charismatic, pitch- black vocals to lyrics that mix oblique imagery with emotionally powerful subject matter.

LEAP DAY
 
Yes I remember 
the pact we made
Back in 2008
Yes I remember 
On that Leap Day
Wishes shimmered like coins
 
And it was cold out
But it was not too cold to swim
And I was in over my head
But I did not have to pretend
 
On a rooftop in Bushwick at 5am
I couldn’t look at you
Without almost leaning in
And if we’d been alone
I’d have had no control
but if we’d never met up
How would I have ever known
 
At dawn we hailed a cab
To take us back
To where the van was parked
I turned to Max
Whose face was weary
In the fading Brooklyn dark
 
And as the city woke up
Something buried spoke up
I am still in love with that woman
Why does that make me feel so lost?
Why do I feel so lost?
Why do I feel so lost?
 
This year on Leap Day
Seven years later
I think I might go for a swim
I hope it’s cold out
I hope it’s empty
I hope I have accompaniment
In the shape of a friend
That shimmers like a wish in wind
I won’t ever not love you
But you can’t be the one I’m with

Chase Weinacht- "Leap Day"

Release date - March 6, 2020

Los Angeles’ The Paranoyds continue their streak of reminiscent sci-fi boogie with “Memory Foam”. On this unearthed outtake from their 'Carnage Bargain' recording session, the band ruminates on the tedium and loss of innocence that comes with adulthood. “Memory Foam” is a playful track with a rhythm that encourages you to do a dance and evoke the spirits to ward off all the guys without jobs still living off of their parents.

A Thousand Times

Tobin Sprout announces new single ‘The Man I Used To Know’ 
New album ‘Empty Horses’ set for June release

https://fire-records.lnk.to/TobinSproutTMITK 

Artist, illustrator, writer and lo-fi innovator, Tobin Sprout was the super-productive partner of Robert Pollard in the legendary Guided By Voices. The gifted songwriter returns pensive and expansive on biographical new single ‘A Man I Used To Know’.  

The new album, ‘Empty Horses’, which will be released as a limited-edition art book, will be a meticulously-observed study of America and Americana (not the music, but the state of mind). An alternative American Songbook, if you will, a collection of laments to simpler times and the struggle for what’s right, peppered with an examination of faith and the search for a sense of justice.  

“Sprout’s lyrics pop with personality and wisdom” Pitchfork
“Raw, honest and oftentimes revelatory” Consequence Of Sound

‘The Man I Used To Know’ was recorded at the Goon Lagoon in Grand Rapids by Tommy Schichtel, along with long time band members, Gary and Steve Vermillion on bass and drums respectively.

Tobin Sprout - The Man I Used To Know

“This is the sound of the wheels coming off, a sing-along catastrophe. The shrugged shoulders as another funny little plan doesn’t go quite right”.
