When all this fades away
Where do we go
Somewhere spiritual
Dimensions and beings
Outer body feelings taking hold
Home is the only motive
How to get back to her
Tectonic shifts
Not enough oxygen
It's hard to breathe in here
There's a hallway and lights and open door
And I hear voices and they call me forward

We’re so close to kamikaze
Let's just kill ourselves
Create mass destruction
To medicated to function

Over the limit
Over
Na Na Na
Over the limit
Over

The transcendental law
The unwritten law
Something spiritual
Connection to beings
Devoid of reason
It’s cosmic
It’s written on the wall
Home is the only motive
How to get back to her
Tectonic shifts
Not enough oxygen
It's hard to breathe in here
And there is a reason that we got this close
Snap back but we still hear ghosts

We’re so close to kamikaze
Let's just kill ourselves
Create mass destruction
To medicated to function

Over the limit
Over
Na Na Na
Over the limit
Over

Needful Things

World Ends Everyone Dies (feat. Paul Leary)

Moving Into Tucson is basically the side effect of the COVID epidemic. Why, you will ask. Well for the simple reason that the band was formed during the pandemic. Can you call Moving Into Tucson a band? Well, yes as in, it's a band, with a singer, guitarist, bassist, drummer etc. But also no because it's not a band as usual. Band members do not come from the same city or even country, but from different parts of the world. When the world was in lock-down and many were forced to stay at home, there wasn't much left for musicians to do other than work from home. But, how? And better, with whom? Like for many, Zoom video brought a solution. Fortunately, we live in an advanced digital world and a lot is possible without necessarily having to be somewhere. Only someone who arranges it. This is where the label TCBYML, the label of the various artists in the band Moving Into Tucson, stepped in.  

Result, twenty songs composed over a period of 18 months. These have now been brought together, mixed, mastered and provided with artwork. In 2023, five of them will be released as singles and together with eight more songs will form the album "Distraction" that will see the light on November 24 of this year. A great initiative that may be followed up in 2024. Who's to say.  

Moving Into Tucson's music is comparable to that of the early 90's. The sound that all who participated could very much agree on. Moving Into Tucson is therefore for fans of: REM, Lemonheads, Sugar, The Posies, Buffalo Tom, Teenage Fanclub and the Counting Crows but also reminiscent to bands as U2 or The Police. Recognizable indie pop rock, sometimes dark, sometimes mysterious, or vague, but with depth in the music and certainly in the lyrics.

Moving Into Tucson - Without A Warning

HALF CAB has its roots in punk and hardcore music. With their new songs the band is ready to engage a wider audience without losing their underground ethos. The result is music that is said to have "the energy of punk and the catchiness of pop". 

HALF CAB coming from The Hague, Netherlands is set to release their new EP in May 2024. Pete Maher, UK’s No1 independent mastering engineer gives the songs the power they deserve. Upfront, three songs from the EP will be released as singles. 

First single Rearview is about looking back on things in life. “It all looks simple in the rearview” is the recurring phrase in the song, and somewhat of a summary idea of the EP. Don't worry too much about the past, but focus on the future, no matter how dark and hopeless it may seem.

Pretty Drama - Give Me Your Love (if Found Remix)

In the arms of Eckhardt And The House

Eckhardt And The House is uptempo and danceable indie music with elements from pop to avant-garde to disco-funk, all twisted up into a signature sound with wild experimentation and disregard for the norm.

For new single What Did My Arms Eckhardt And The House found inspiration in a quote by American poet and novelist Silvia Plath: "What did my arms do before they held you", featured in the New York Times under a photo about the 2013 Dhaka garment factory collapse. The photo showed 2 victims that were found from from under the rubble - a girl and a boy that were colleagues. The boy had his arms around her - and that was how death had come over them. A moving picture but romantic in a way, particularly with that quote. The song is not about that photo or the poor working conditions in the factories of Bangladesh, but it was one source of inspiration.

What Did My Arms is another great example of the distinctive Eckhardt sound: nu-disco where Metronomy meets Prince - with hints of Tame Impala in the bass.

With fourteen singles and an album under their belt, the band scored iTunes chart positions in ten European countries plus Turkey, Brazil, South Africa and Japan, Spotify charts in The Netherlands, France, Italy and Turkey. In the past 12 months the band got 661 plays across 27 radio stations in 11 countries. Total Spotify streams are now up to 2.1 million.

Exclusive Mordisco 'Sacromonte'

Celebrating its 4th anniversary Mexican label Duro releases the second installment of their various artist series called 'Muy Duro' and kickstarts 2020 with five label befriended artists, namely Mordisco, Jepe, Darlyn Vlys, Fausto and Carisma, that synonominously represent Duro's international philosophy when it comes to music and giving it a home. With 116bpm Spanish duo Mordisco delivers a dark disco-ish wave, 'Sacromonte', slowing the generel pace of the V/A a bit down but still capturing the right amount of Latin vibe or their Latin roots with a lead-synth that's causing 'Sacromonte' to become one of these groovey, disco creepers one enjoys hearing in a sweaty club or under the open sky.

'Muy Duro Vol. 2' will be released on Duro on January 24th, 2020.
