If You Ever Leave, I'm Coming With You

(Youtube video for Young at Heart:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBRxG7HHFeM)

Young At Heart, due 3 March 2014 on limited cassette and digital release from Howling Owl Records (http://howlingowlrecords.bigcartel.com/product/howl029-towns-young-at-heart-cassette-presale), will be the first single to be released from TOWNS' debut album 'Get By' due May 2014.

Childhood friends TOWNS create a spaced out suburban escapism that combines the experimental guitar sounds and DIY aesthetics of psych and shoegaze with the melodies of 60s and 90s guitar pop. Seeing the excitement of rock’n’roll as a way to escape the everyday humdrum of growing up in Weston-super-Mare, they believe in the beauty, glamour and power of ‘proper’ pop music.

TOWNS contrast kitchen sink lyrics, attractive melodies and dreamy guitars with feedback, driving bass-lines and baggy beats. The band have already made waves with previous single releases, scooping up single of the month from ARTROCKER before being nominated as their new band of the year, crashing THE GUARDIAN and XFM playlists with ‘Just Everything’, exciting Zane Lowe to declare his love for ‘Gone Are The Days’ live on air, while NME predicted that their 'new band of the year' ‘are about to cover themselves in glory’ after a typically exciting live show.

Young At Heart, as with the album, was recorded and mastered with the help of fellow Howling Owl Records label mates Dom Mitchison (Velcro Hooks), Hugo Bishop (Oliver Wilde) and Olive Wilde at their recently opened Malthouse Studios.

TOWNS have nurtured their sound amongst like-minded people in Bristol, to create an underground of DIY guitar noise, warehouse parties and good times where there are no rules and anything goes as every show finishes in a flurry of chaotic scenes and stage invasions. Catch them live here:

Young At Heart

Is This What It Feels Like to Feel Like This?

We Are Sound

Don’t Take It Personally

Don't Take It Personally

A Bit Out Of Time

Head On To Nowhere

Ny EP på vei. | www.facebook.com/verdensrommetno/ | Cover: Emir | Foto: Mrt Eed

lyrics:

jeg ville lagt det bak meg
kan du legge det bak deg
jeg har lagt det bak meg
folk ler ikke av deg
de ler av meg

(de tingene der)
de tingene jeg kjenner nå
så blass og rå, kjenn til meg nå 
du klarer ikke engang å stå, jeg har et punkt hvor tingen slår
hvor tingen slår
(gjør det for lett å forlate)
(du bare gjør det for lett å forlate)
hvor tingen slår

jeg har tenkt på en annen 
jeg lover, jeg har tenkt på en annen
for jeg har tenkt på en annen
jeg har tenkt på en annen [x 4]
han har tenkt på en annen [x 5]

skulle gjerne gitt deg alt, men har ingenting å gi
du har dessverre blitt en kjerring som jeg holder litt på si
prøver å være ærlig, men det ender bare kjipt
for den tingen som vi hadde var ikke ment for å bli
for du vet hva du gikk til
du kan bli med, bare litt til
for du vet hva du gikk til
du kan bli med, bare litt til
for du trodde på det selv når du sa det
at det ikke var noe mer enn en fase
og du drøyer det hver gang vi skal si hade
men jeg vil ikke være kjip når jeg drar vekk, nei
vil ikke være kjip når jeg drar vekk
men du gjør det for lett å forlate
gjør det for lett å forlate
du bare gjør det for lett å forlate

jeg har tenkt på en annen [x 12]

hold rundt meg, for jeg har holdt rundt deg
du har et grep rundt meg

Aldri igjen (med Onge $ushimane)
