Current Swell - Who's With Us - Ulysses

Hailing from London, but with ties in Surrey (and a little village called Bildeston), Passport To Stockholm have just announced their debut single ‘Imperfections’, with a launch show planned for 16 September, at the Barfly, London.

‘Imperfections’ is the follow up to the band’s ‘Chemistry EP’, which saw love and acclaim from the likes of BBC 6 Music, Amazing Radio and many more, towards the tail end of last year.

The ‘Chemistry EP’ was funded purely by the band’s loyal fan base through a Pledge Music campaign, reaching their funding target in just two short days.

This new single stands as an honest and triumphant step in to the limelight, candidly portraying the idea that it’s people’s imperfections that define us all as individuals, and that without these flaws, the world would be a far blander place to be.

Vocalist Barny, and guitarist Tom have been working on material together since the tender age of 14, but it wasn’t until last year the band’s line up was complete, adding the skills of cellist Sophie English, and percussionist Henri Grimes.

The addition of these final two members, has allowed the band to hone their sound, and with ‘Imperfections’ they’ve crafted a near perfect acoustic indie-folk track. The gorgeous strings snake in and out of the lively rhythm section, with Barnard’s warm vocals acting as the perfect compliment to the expertly produced instrumentals.

The band have been working with acclaimed producers Gordon Mills Jr and Amy Wadge, who collectively have produced and helped write records for Lissie, Ed Sheeran, Newton Faulkner and Lewis Watson to name a few. Additionally, the quartet have been working closely with Carey Willets, of Athlete fame, whom they have built a strong bond with during the production and writing process.

With a whole host of very well received festival performances already under their belt, and more booked for the remainder of the summer, the future looks very bright for Passport To Stockholm.

Their music is one that captivates the listener from the offset, a compelling combination of thought provoking lyrics, acoustic-folk infused instrumentals, and a heart of gold.

Passport To Stockholm are: Barny Barnard, Tom Piggott, Sophie English, Henri Grimes.

PASSPORT TO STOCKHOLM - IMPERFECTIONS

when gravity's a palm pushing down on your head
like the devil's got a paw dug in your shoulder 
and the other one is rubbing your back
but the kitchen in this new place has a window 
yeah you can grow basil on the sill 
maybe you can call your neighbors by name now

berries on the dash is the sweetest kind of living
Still this feels like eating the meat of the mountain
It's all grit and gristle I can't chew and swallow, 
I'm gnawing my way back home
the clouds look a lot like wool gone through the wash
I check my phone for the time but I still wear my watch
yeah i’m confused about how i’m supposed to connect to anything now 

the kind of high I like is when I barely make the train    
And the people with a seat smile big at me cause they know the feeling
and for a millisecond we share a look like a family does
like we have inside jokes 
like we could call each other by little nicknames
and I could tell the story of how
My great grandmothers sister was deemed a saint
how they exhumed her body after years of being buried 
and they found she hadn't even begun to sully
so they moved her again, straight into the Vatican 

I think of all the billions of eyes 
all looking at something different at the same time
and I feel nauseous 
some days i can only see into my suitcase 
it's got everything I need 
plus some superstitious things I may also need
"music soothes the savage beast"
the pilot says to me and he asks me to sing
but now is not the time
I just want to fall into a pile of warm laundry 
i just wanna keep very very quiet yeah

it’s june where you sleep and july where I land 
thought I saw you on the platform in Amsterdam
and I nearly missed my train 
and I felt so defeated til I jumped on to see all the warm smiles were for me 
I made my train and it made me so happy
I made my train and it made me forget everything
it made me forget, made me forget made me forget made me forget everything
it made me forget made me forget made me forget made me forget made me forget everything

Sweetness - Pearl and the Beard

The juxtaposition between the dystopian barbed wire of the notorious prison and the beauty of the forest that runs parallel to it...

This is the view from my bedroom window. One summer evening, a Luna eclipse hovers on the horizon. The Prison and the forest are drenched in red light. It took my breath away.

This song is about that moment in time.
