Buckle up, cowboy, and rev your Hyundai. Indie/folk/rock/bedroom pop wunderkind dzuls rides again, into the sunset with Madness, a rollicking trip into the sunset. Billboards, In-N-Out, and the gentle sway of radioactive palms all tell you, "You've Made It, Pardner." Listen for the psychedelic fallout from the Byrds and the nuclear shadow of the Paisley Underground. Oedipa Maas hasn’t laughed so hard since she saw The Courier's Tragedy. Mucho Maas sends his regards. dzuls bows out, goes home.

High Lonesome

Hey babe the weather's warming up
Now we can put all that unpleasantness behind us
You know I heard all that you said to me
I just think now's not the time for concessions

You thought
I would
Give back control?
I can't
Pretend
It was ever part of the plan

The weather's perfect for 
taking your support 
for granted
Oh look! A distraction!

Look, I just need you to know
Winter wasn't actually that long ago
Of course! We couldn't have done it without you!
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Just get with the program

Look that was just hyperbole
When I said we believe in the same things

Let's head to the beach
And coast through the next four years
I'll let you know the next time your voice matters

Everything's fixed now
If only you could see it
In any case, yes, there against the wall, please, turn your back

Prague Summer!

SHOW 185

How’s everybody doing out there? Are you with me? I tell you what, it’s been a damn tough few weeks here for us Victorians with more lockdowns and restrictions being placed on folks and a whole stack of shows being cancelled. It’s definitely taken a toll on us. With that in mind, I’ve put together a playlist this week filled with songs that make me feel good and I hope they’ll do the same for you too!

I’ll be back live in The Pulse studio next week, with new tracks from a whole stack of artists who are still pumping out the releases, but this week I’ll dug into the personal vault to give you some musical medicine. Enjoy!

O Serene light
Of the immortal one
Long shadows cast
By the setting sun

The tears held back
Makes no difference now
No matter whose fault
Twilight would always come

Part of a glorious and grand design
That was the lie we told ourselves
Every sin was justified
Every moment led to this end

And I mourn for
What might have been
The promise unkept
Destiny unfulfilled

O Serene light
It was inevitable
Sown in corruption
Reap your just reward

The thing strikes me the most
Is the blandness of it all
Shouldn't the apocalypse be
A little more dramatic

A fitting end to the jeremiad
All the pride and hubris gone
But every epic has a human cost 
couldn't we have changed the course?

And I mourn for
What might have been
The promise unkept
Destiny unfulfilled

I look back over the centuries of wrong turns, the pattern clear enough in hindsight, but I can't pretend I could have fixed it even so

Svete tihiy

And I mourn for
What might have been
The promise unkept
Destiny unfulfilled

The cannons coming closer
The immortal fortress failing
If only this reckoning
Hadn't come until after my time
Besiegers in the temple
The end of all I worked for
The end of everything

Serene Light

With the Birds

Released 21 June 2021, 'Speak To Me The Words' is the first of a number of new songs to be released by James Perryman.

Similar to many people's struggles over the last 18 months, this track grapples with mental health - reflecting on child experiences, external perception and how we see ourselves.

Recorded Spring 2020 in Guelph, ON, Canada during lock down

A Little's All We Need

A Little's All We Need - RM

Happy

When I was a boy, a family lived on the opposite side of the road to me. Phil and I were to become lifelong friends and musicians. Phil’s grandfather Jim Franklin lived with the family. He was an old-style flat picking banjo player and would often play to Phil and I when we were boys. His enthusiasm and inspiration were a major influence on me picking up the guitar. 

After passing we learned his early life story. Like many men of his age, he was a manual worker, laid off in the depression in Sunderland. With a young family to feed and no job, he turned to playing his banjo in and around Sunderland. In the 30’s Jim and many other men were ‘persuaded’ to travel 200 miles to work as a Forester in East Anglia. In Jim’s case this was the Thetford Forest near the village of West Toft. 

This is Jim’s tale, ‘The West Toft Woodsman’.

Lyrics:

I'm huntin' koch in the morning
In my pickup truck
I'm huntin' koch in the afternoon
Still in my pickup truck

We lost the vibe when the beer spilled
But we'll keep it going on until
I die or I'm disabled
I'll be huntin' koch till I go broke cause

I'm huntin' koch in the morning
In my pickup truck
I'm huntin' koch in the afternoon
Still in my pickup truck

Ooo ooo ooh
We hunt the koch
Ooo ooo ooh
It ain't no joke

Bring my truck down to the lake
And oh for heaven's sake
Try to stop before that deer
I gotta hit the brake

But I'm drunk drivin'
And my reaction's slow
Despite my strivin'
I hit my bro

Ooo ooo ooh
We hunt the koch
Ooo ooo ooh
It ain't no joke

Ooo ooo ooh
We hunt the koch
Ooo ooo ooh
It ain't no joke

I'm huntin' koch in the morning
In my pickup truck
I'm huntin' koch in the afternoon
Still in my pickup truck

Small town cop gotta hit his quota
Pulled me over said I don't know ya
Tell me koch huntin' season is well past over
I'm goin' to jail

Ooo ooo ooh
We hunt the koch
Ooo ooo ooh
It ain't no joke

Ooo ooo ooh
We hunt the koch
Ooo ooo ooh
It ain't no joke

Ooo ooo ooh
We hunt the koch
Ooo ooo ooh
It ain't no joke

EvilMrSod's "Still Alive And Well"
or
Things to do when you're home alone on a Saturday
Some time ago I had a conversation with a friend about all these bands that spend years in the studio and I was saying you shouldn’t need to spend more than a couple of weeks (a month tops) to make a rock’n’roll record.
My friend kinda agreed with me but he was also saying he could understand those bands (even if they went a bit too far) and that the longer you stay in the studio the more perfect the record will be.
There is where we didn’t agree anymore.
I said that the longer you stay in the studio, the more options you have to kill the “spirit” of the record, get tired of the songs and (in the end) f**k the whole thing.
One thing led to another, I remember saying that the ideal time to make a record is one day, he said that’s impossible, I said it’s totally possible and then he said the worst thing you could say to me: “no balls”.
So I did it. I wrote 10 songs, I recorded them and I mixed them in one day. Only to prove it's possible.
I know, it’s silly. 
Exactly like the kind of rock’n’roll I like most: simple, fast and as far from intellectuality as possible.
More The Stooges and less Radiohead.
It’s a new record from EvilMrSod but it’s not “The new record” of EvilMrSod. That one is still on the works (together with one or two more).
So, turn the volume up and enjoy it.
And remember...
This was an experiment.
All tracks are first takes.
None of the above is important.
Don’t panic.
42.
Have fun, be bad and love Rock’N’Roll.
Long Live LO-FI!

Last Night In Town is a weekly radio show hosted by musician Nathan Seeckts each Thursday at 6pm on Geelong's premier community radio station, 94.7 The Pulse.

James Perryman is a singer-songwriter hailing from West London. 

He has previously been compared to artists such as Jason Isbell, Father John Misty & The Lone Bellow due to a broad style that ranges from intimate acoustic songs through to full-on foot stomping rock.

Perryman is best known for his work with Australian siblings Angus & Julia Stone and London duo The Honey Ants. This led to the recruiting of his own band, resulting in the early EPs 'To Whom It May Concern' and 'Consumed By the View'.

Following an extended break (in which Perryman had two sons) the single 'Why Do You Only Love Me When I'm Stoned?'  was released in early 2018.  This paved the way for a broader sound and concepts. Says James: “I just wanted to go bigger, better and more beautiful this time around. After all, it’s been a while…” 

The EP 'The Narrow Gate' followed shortly after in mid-2018 and was co-produced by The Honey Ants frontman, John Grimsey. 

After Covid delays, on 21st June 2021, James released the first of a number of new tracks 'Speak to me the words' - a ballad that grapples with mental health, child experiences, external perception and how we see ourselves.  This will be followed by a number of new singles
