Debuted in my weekly personal indie chart on March 25, 2018 edition :)

::: e radio: march 2018

Track 1 and the first single off of Helen Paradise's debut EP "External World," to be independently released this fall.

At Your Feet

"Union Station" explores the concepts of love, loss, and nostalgia over a sparkling soundscape of C86-esque chorus-soaked guitar riffs, Juno synth pads, and a driving LinnDrum beat.

Lyrics
Seems like summer's slipping away
I swore i wouldn't miss you
Dropped you off at the train
Couldn't find the nerve to kiss you

What if you're right and i'm wrong?

Walking around, spacing out
Wondering where your face went
A different place, some other town
Where you can rent an English basement

What if you're right and i'm wrong?

Never minded the noise upstairs, but now it feels you're gone for good.

Union Station

From the upcoming Alfie compilation part of the Cloudberry Cake Kitchen out winter 2022!!

Alfie - Play On

STUPID DRAMA
 
The song has a cool repetitive minimal funk thing going on reminiscent of Use No Hooks and Pylon, but the vocals are sharp, dry and fiery, sometimes eroding into an acerbic Sleaford Mods style bored and anguished drawl. It's a bratty, snotty, foot-stomping, sax-screeching romp through the types of absurd, mundane predicaments that sometimes grow so big they seem to generate their own gravitational fields.  I always feel like I'm gasping for air in this song, which fits well with the theme of being completely fed-up and trying to laugh about it.    - Anna

Loose Fit - Stupid Drama

Days

The Hanged Man - "Sacrifice My Love"

Minor key synths cascade over a marching bassline, shadowed by an illuminated duet between Bates and Kimbra. It’s gospel in vocoder, a call and response as soulful as it is mechanic, as warm as it is unnerving.

When asked about the song Jonathan said: “Its helplessly returning to a vice (whether it be a person or substance) that you know for a fact will destroy you. A shuffle over a march. Kimbras character and mine having a verbal back and forth over gluttony.”

The track is taken from new album Trágame Tierra, set for release on April 22nd. With Trágame Tierra - his sophomore album under the moniker – Jonathan Bates has created a multi-layered collection of songs that continue to build on Big Black Delta’s already explosive electronics by adding more icy Scandinavian-leaning beats, near-country acoustic warmth, and more live instrumentation. The record also features “RCVR,” a masterful collaboration between Bates and Debbie Gibson as well as many other guests.

Bates, who is occasionally found playing guitar and singing with the likes of Brandon Flowers, Brian Wilson, Britt Daniel, Dhani Harrison and more, will be embarking on an extensive U.S. tour in support of the release – which kicks off on April 25th in Las Vegas and features stops in NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Seattle, D.C and his hometown of Los Angeles. 

 Trágame Tierra was funded via PledgeMusic. Leading up to the release, those who order at PledgeMusic will receive an ‘access pass’ to all kinds of exclusive merchandise and updates, including videos, pictures, and clips of new music.

Entornos Industriales

5th track from the blue EP

Original music and lyrics:

Can I tell u something
I believe that this is nothing
Can you tell the world is bluffing
Can you tell me something
Can you give me something real
Do you recognise me
Do you know what lives inside me
Do you care if it is dying
Can you tell me something
Can you give me something real
Hold the weight down on me
Blind my eyes I cannot see
Hold my breath endlessly
Tell me it was meant to be 
And I'll see you again
(ooh harmonies)

Eternal Summers - Forever Mine

Bordello A Parigi is on the hunt once again, this time journeying to southern France to unearth an up and coming sect of synthesizer sorcerers: Blind Delon. Hailing from Toulouse, the triumvirate of Mathis Kolkoz, Théo Fantuz and Coco Thiburs offer a sound that combines indie and wave with seemingly effortless execution. The soft interlude of “Sometimes” introduces Assassin. A groove grips pulsing rhythms, subtle strings and throaty vocals in the captivating “Sombre Soleil”. Those vocals become even deeper in the dreamy “J’ai Honte”. Smoke spirals around keys in this brooding work of guitars rifts and bruised egos. The title piece perfectly melds warm strings with cold synthlines for a superb climax to an EP that exudes modern synth-wave chic.
