LYRICS / ON MY MIND

you built your walls
kept me outside them all
the years have been so unkind

smile, i fake a smile sometimes
just to hide the disappointment in my eyes

i'm repeating all your words
reading all your letters
anything to make myself feel better

i can't leave you behind
so watch me cross all the lines
fast forward and rewind
cause you're ON MY MIND all the time
you're ON MY MIND all the time

you are ON MY MIND and i think of you
turn around and find me waiting here for you

worn me down, you've worn me down, baby
this time you've gotta come back and save me
you're ON MY MIND (all the time)
you're ON MY MIND (alllllll the time)

i think you know that i'm here 
waiting for you patiently
(oh so patiently)
i think you know why i'm here
i want your honesty
(your honesty)

i've been staying up late
i've been writing you letters
i'd do anything to feel just a little better


i can't leave you behind
so watch me cross all the lines
fast forward and rewind
cause you're ON MY MIND all the time
you're ON MY MIND all the time

you are ON MY MIND and i think of you
turn around and find me waiting here for you

worn me down, you've worn me down, baby
this time you've gotta come back and save me
you're ON MY MIND (all the time)
you're ON MY MIND (alllllll the time)

cross all the lines, cross all the lines
you're on my mind, on my mind

repeat about a billion times, and out


On My Mind

"We Move" is taken from the forthcoming LP release from Melbourne's S:Bahn.
The song is a dissection of a fading relationship, driven by S:Bahn's trademark brawling guitars and seismic rhythm section.
"Queen of Diamonds" (the bands 2nd Album) will be available from Polaks Records in February.

calm down

Ava de Bara creates music at the intersection of mysticism and realism, tension and release.

She was created as a way to transcend inner identifiers and freely express, tearing at limitations built by genre, sexuality, locality, the self…

Spacey, genre-less, bold, and with a lot of guts, Ava will take you through compositions that unite the contemporary pop world with crowned jewels from the past – already situating herself in the grand archive. Listen carefully.

“Ava de Bara’s breakout single “Fame” marks the beginning of her musical journey through genre-less time and space. This song sonically represents a complicated relationship that may be inevitable. Its tension and release, built by strings, poolside rhythms, swelling harmonies, and dusty guitars, is the mirage you want to bathe in at the beginning of this new year. Ava has been reborn, and so have you.”

The debut single from multi instrumentalist Daniel Crichton is a slice of warm DIY indie pop. Stepping into the spotlight for the first time as a solo artist, the entire single was recorded in lockdown on his phone (it's a decent phone). 

An honest and ambitious first offering, at 2:43 the track is a bite-sized insight into an artist discovering their voice.

Lyrics:
And it would seem that your sentences have become a jumbled mess,
And what it is that you meant to say has been usurped by predictive text,

But you don't have to reach for the delete button,
You're not an error,
Maybe you're not all that broken

What you see seems like fantasy,
slight of hand to deceive your eyes,
Your sullen head glitching back and forth until normality returns again,

But you don't have to reach for the delete button,
You're not an error,
Maybe you're not all that broken

Released: Friday 5th March 2021

Following on from the spacious, glacial electronica of previous single, Opaque Crater, 5 March 2021 sees Ritual Cloak release their latest track, White Noise. Written from the perspective of a close friend of the band before they passed away, and drawing on real-life conversations, the track marks the first introduction of lyrics and vocals (Daniel Barnett) into their sonic arsenal. Woven seamlessly into their traditionally synth-based approach, these new melodic textures work symbiotically with the track’s inherent, bittersweet gravity.

Amidst the darker weight of the subject matter and lyrics, White Noise also evokes an ever-burgeoning cocoon of light, offering some calm amidst the chaos. Initially built on the backdrop of arpeggiated synth strings and heart-wrenching vocal melodies, the track swells and evolves unexpectedly over its four minutes. This culminates in an almost triumphant progression of minimalist techno beats that boldly carves out the path forwards, only reaching its full power when each element is conjoined to the next.

The track was completed just a couple of days before the untimely death of their friend, Chris, who was its inspiration. Given he was such a big supporter of the band, it’s a massive shame he was never able to hear it. Naturally, it is dedicated to him.

White Noise will be released across digital platforms on March 5, 2021 with Divine Invasions following on 7 May, 2021.
