Falling Down

I started this baby when I was briefly living in Syndey, Australia. I was having a pretty tough time being so far from home, but working on this always made me feel a lot better. This track really feels like a culmination of all that I've learned over the years as a producer, and because of that, it means a great deal to me. I hope you all can feel a similar way when listening to this!

Big ups to @WAFIA and @LouisTheChild for making the OG version - nothing can compare to that beautiful song, but I hope this comes close!

Huge shoutout to the absolute legend @JNTHNStein for helping out with all the mixing and mastering - you really helped make this the banger that it is.

Share this with everyone you know, yadda yadda yadda, I'll shut up now

Love you all,
Max

Female jungle
The Mighty Tiger crumbles as I pick up my mess
You see right through me
The walls are turning green behind what's left of me, here

I want to tell you the trouble I'm in but I stand paralyzed
Hope the feeling will pass 

Female Jungle, the Wicked Witch is humming as I unzip my dress
One time too many I decline your desire but I let you spoon me

I wanna show you what I got myself into but I stay paralyzed
Hope my courage will rise

I spell T.R.O.U.B.L.E. Trouble
You wish you went with the next girl around
Down in the J.U.N.G.L.E. Jungle
I am the lion and you will be found

Rude operator
Leaves a busy signal and goes for a swim
Bad enchiladas
They're all up in my grill, boy I need to chill

If I could explain the bruises, the blood stains you'd stay paralyzed
Hope the feeling will pass

I spell T.R.O.U.B.L.E. Trouble
You wish you went with the next girl around
Down in the J.U.N.G.L.E. Jungle
I am the lion and you will be found

I spell T.R.O.U.B.L.E. Trouble
You wish you went with the next girl around
Down in the J.U.N.G.L.E. Jungle
I am the lion and you will be found

Cant Get Enough

Kissing in Photographs

Homesick

In the autumn evening swoon I’m amused 
By the jaundice ash among the yews 
Chasing trains with my uncle’s lens 
Light won’t bend for the sheepdog, for the mountain, we are people 

I want to go home with you, I’m confused 
By your bridges and your views 
Racing stillness before it ends 
For all the silver of the birch tree, of the magpie, we are people 

Dissipating energy, increasing our entropy 
The grass was parted, our feet were wet 
I don’t know how this started but I’ll never forget 
The year we spent, the fear that went away 

How did this start there’s a hot stone in my heart and I wanna go home with you 
The mountain moon couldn’t pass me twice too soon coz I wanna go home with you 

Under awesome eves of June you were bruised 
And haunt this thrasher you would choose 
Facing panes slow will flow the Thames 
Send the stems to the deer bones, to the mountain, we are people 

I want to go home with you, I refused 
By your ridges and your views 
Bracing illness before it bends 
From the Tamar to the Beauly to the blue sky, we are people 

Dissipating energy, increasing our entropy 
The grass was parted, our feet were wet 
I don’t know how this started but I’ll never forget 
The year we spent, the fear that went away 

How did this start there’s a hot stone in my heart and I wanna go home with you 
The mountain moon couldn’t pass me twice too soon coz I wanna go home with you

In The Autumn Evening Swoon

'Bed Bug' by Heavy Heart. Released 23rd January 2019.

I live in my head when you're not around
Pull the dirty sheets over me
I live for the night when you're by my side
Even after all this time

Time after time it feels the same to me
Why the change of heart?
It's good enough for tonight
Say you might

Take off all my things, watch me shed my skin
Burn me with your eyes love
I just smile, it's cool, taste the blood on you
Even after all this time

Time after time it feels the same to me
Why the change of heart?
It's good enough for tonight
Say you might

Now the creatures come alive
I feel them itch, I feel them bite
You say it's only in my mind
But you were never on my side

Bed Bug

With his second album set for release later this year, German nu-disco star Tim Bernhardt, AKA Satin Jackets, kicks off 2019 in fine style teaming up with Sydney-based singer-songwriter Panama for his new single 'Automatic'. Fans of both acts are sure to find lots to love as the pair bring out the best in each other, Satin Jackets' smooth disco sounds proving to be the perfect accompaniment to Panama's softly seductive vocals. https://soundcloud.com/panamamusicofficial
 
"It was super cool working with Tim," explains Panama. "I remember the first time I heard 'Feel Good' via a friend at Future Classic and immediately fell in love with the vibe of it so I was stoked when the chance came up to write this track together. As soon as Tim played me the bass line, straight away I was hooked, it just really grabbed me and we quickly built the song from there!" They make it sound so simple but the resulting track is sure to earn a pride of place in both artists' catalogues. 
 
Whether producing modern Balearic house anthems such as 'You Make Me Feel Good', seductively soulful tracks like 'Through The Night' or genuine poolside classics like 'For Days', Tim has established himself as one of the biggest names in the modern disco scene clocking up more than 35 million streams of the debut Satin Jackets album, 'Panorama Pacifico', on Spotify alone.

Panama meanwhile is the musical moniker of Sydney based singer-songwriter Jarrah McCleary. Making his name with acclaimed releases on some of the most exciting labels around including Future Classic and Roche Music, Jarrah's blend of live and electronic sounds and raw emotional songwriting has firmly established himself as one of Australia's hottest musical exports.

I don’t wanna
Run away
I don’t wanna
Feel the pain 
I don’t wanna
Fall again 
I don’t wanna
Heaven said

I don’t wanna
Go nowhere 
I don’t wanna
Breathe the air 
I don’t wanna
Feel despair
I don’t wanna
Lose it all

I don’t wanna know what’s left of my world 
Send my love to the gods above
And if I feel like im falling 

see me falling who will catch me?

I don’t wanna
Angel saint
I don’t wanna
Golden gate
I don’t wanna
Saving grace

I don’t wanna
Lose myself into something grey that I can’t shake 
You know it you loathe it
Don’t you play around, they will notice

I don’t wanna know what’s left of my world 
Send my love to the gods above
And if I feel like im falling
And if I feel like im falling

Falling

'Inspired by an experimental instrumental and a forgotten umbrella, the latest single 'Blue Umbrella' is taken from Malory's debut album Cornucopia out on the 1st March. 'Blue Umbrella' glimmers with the elegance of a black-tie soiree and chills with a glacial gust.' 
*The National Student

Blue Umbrella

Brussels-based, singer/songwriter, Tessa Dixson walks a fine line between alternative and pop music.
With some deeply moving singles under her belt and a riveting first album titled “Genesis” she paves her way in the Belgian music scene as an artist to be reckoned with. Her first releases being dark and moody and Genesis becoming more mature and eclectic, Tessa’s sound keeps on evolving as she now dives into a more futuristic-alt pop-dark fairy sound. Influenced by 2000’s pop princesses and artists such as Marina Abramović, Tessa pays great attention to her visual identity and is a true performer when seen on stage. Strong collaborations with Belgian artists such as Romeo Elvis or Warhola have put her on the map all over Belgium as one of the most exciting pop acts.
