Remix single out now: fsxrs.lnk.to/lapis-juicebox

The Fresh Selects Remix Series continues with our first revisit to New Zealand multi-talent LAPIS's 2020 debut, 'Third Person You.'  For the occasion, Figmore's own JUICEB☮X steps into the world of "Why am I still scared to share?" – matching its energy with a new arrangement of his own guitar, bass, trumpet, synths and... (spoiler alert) a Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight" inspired drum break that's well worth the wait.

Fresh Selects Remix Series

LAPIS "Why am I still scared to share? (JUICEB☮X Remix)"

Single out now: fsx.lnk.to/ttwig-world

"The World is but a Mystery" is the official debut single from ttwig – a new solo project from JUICEB☮X (the vocal half of Fresh Selects duo, Figmore). 

A veritable Swiss Army knife of talent – JUICEB☮X raps, sings, produces, and plays just about every instrument (even including the trumpet), and his prolific releases over the years have run the gamut of different styles – proudly dubbing his label for self-releases, "Ellen DeGenreless." 

And now, with his new ttwig moniker, taken from a song title on JUICEB☮X's 2021 'Overthin King' LP, he's purposefully honing in on a more specific sound – one rooted in the more psychedelic side of nostalgia, centered around more organic sounds and textures, and mostly focusing on his singing, songwriting and live instrumentation. 

A proper full-length ttwig LP is still to come – stay tuned for more...

"i really wanted to make an epic psych rock song with no drums, reminiscent of some of my influences from the late 60’s. something with lyrics that held wisdom & could serve as a mantra. a gentle reminder to open your eyes & really take in what’s going on rather than distracting ourselves into oblivion. (side note: i always picture mumbo jumbo from banjo kazooie when the “OO, AH” vocals come in at the end hahaha)

Lyrics:

Open the door,
though you may not feel like it
Go and explore,
through the maze, you’ll be guided
Hear what the shore
has to say in the moment
Face to the floor,
you can’t see where you’re going
(So once in a while…)

Once in a while…
Once in a while…
(Open your eyes)
Once in a while…

Go to the core,
all the way to your kindness
Oh, what a bore,
all the days you were blinded
Now that you’ve grown
from the heat of the moment
Face all the doors,
you can breathe when they’re opened
(So once in a while…)

Once in a while…
Once in a while…
(Open your eyes)
Once in a while…

Once in a while, you’ll have to make that change
You don’t want it to feel the same now, do ya?

"written on a day when i was feeling extra low, 'Waking Up' is about dealing with depression. knowing you’re in a funk but unable to break out of it. as something i’ve learned to live with since a young age, i wanted to turn this feeling/experience into something sonically beautiful. after all, being able to feel any emotion whether it is pleasant or not means you are alive, & that’s pretty tight."

lyrics:

Can someone wake me up?
Although I wish I was
in my dream,
safe from harsh reality
I need
space where I can truly be
myself

Can someone shake it up?
I’m almost halfway done
& I bleed,
but i don’t feel a thing at all
Two weeks,
in and off of stable thoughts
Oh, please

I’m losing faith 'n trust,
& what you say is wrong,
& I see life distorting endlessly,
& it breaks me up,
but i’m waking up
to see

Can someone wake me up?
Although I wish I was
in my dream,
safe from harsh reality,
I need
space where I can truly be
myself

Can someone shake it up?
(I know I think too much)
I’m losing faith 'n trust,
& I see life distorting endlessly,
& it breaks me up,
so don’t wake me up

"'umbra' is defined as the fully shaded inner region of a shadow cast by an opaque object. this was an interesting one. i actually just pressed record & freestyled these lyrics. the words just flowed out of me. after listening back to it a bit after its creation, i realized the song was my inner most self realizing that i was going to break up with my girlfriend. 'i already gave every ounce of me, why aren’t we crossing the boundary?'"

Lyrics:
Not the hair! 
Please take my mind
Are you lost in thoughts like me?
Who’d have thought with all these thoughts,
We’ve not the faintest idea

No one reaches out 
Money, on your own
Running from the mouth 
Find a way to go

Yours with shiny brown eyes, I’m here 
In the mourning of your heart
Put a flower behind you ear
You’re a queen now
You’re a king now

Standing on your ground 
Melting to the floor
Don’t you want an out? 
Find a way to go

I already gave every ounce of me
I already gave every ounce of me
I already gave every ounce of me
Why aren’t we crossing the boundary?

I already gave every ounce of me
I already gave every ounce of me
I already gave every ounce of me
Why aren’t we crossing the boundary?

"'rectify': to put right; correct. this song was written at the height of the George Floyd protests. the song is written as 2 voices/perspectives: a voice with wobbly effects who turns the other cheek to what’s going on, selfish & privileged; and the other voice, clear & sure that the right thing must be done."

Lyrics:

They go right by with glowing eyes
“Don’t notify the other side. We should fight.”
“There are no words to say.
I don’t have an answer today.”

Go on and wish them fairly well off with their circumstances in a daze
“It shouldn’t be on me to help someone, I’ll lose my day.”
“She’s fine. They’re fine. I’m alright...”
“She’s fine. They’re fine. I’m alright...”

The universe’ll fuck you
The universe’ll fuck you

You better make it right.
You better make it right.

“Please step aside, I’m tryna fly.”
Please rectify before you die, override
There are no questions, eh?
Answers, they are on the way

“She’s fine. They’re fine.”
That’s a lie
“She’s fine. They’re fine.”
That’s a lie

Rectify…
