Glaswegian alt-pop artist the ever fresh, courageous, and wonderfully weird, singer-songwriter Leif Coffield is a game-changer. His new single ‘Just wanna be strange’ is a dark yet energetic Pop track, with hints of Billie Eilish style vocals and instrumentation alongside minimal percussion but a groove layered bass line. The deep and sinister vocals perfectly juxtapose the dance vibes of the music itself and encapsulate the theme of the lyrics- obsession, infallibility and idolisation. 

Produced by himself, ‘Just wanna be strange’ is about “The feeling of obsessing over somebody, and the notions of infallibility that come along with it. In an age where we are so driven by the idolisation of celebrity status, 'Just Wanna Be Strange' aims to portray the perspective of the obsessor. Often times we idolise those we see ourselves in, or see ourselves with, and it's not difficult to think of someone with fame or celebrity that we haven't adored simply because they seem 'quirky' or 'weird', and that it's a travesty-debt owed to the universe that they haven't become friends or lovers. This song represents that. All of that.” Leif explains.

Like his surroundings, Leif describes his sound as, “cold, dark and broken.” - all of which translates seamlessly into his music. Undoubtedly one of the most ambitious names in the UK, he patches enormously affecting lyricism against superb pop moments.

Having picked up the guitar at eight years old, this songwriter has always utilised music as a means of processing life, and the world we exist in. He is driven by a Billie Eilish-esque kind of sinister spirit, lulling listeners into an electro-infused, bass-heavy dreamland that’s beautiful; woozy; and often heart-wrenchingly chaotic, all at once. 

His artistry has only enhanced with each release. Having gained support through the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC radio Scotland, CLASH and CLOUT magazine, it’s no surprise that this dark-pop artist is turning heads as he focuses on forging a new lane for his musical ambitions as an independent artist.

Just Wanna Be Strange

"The most absolute insane weird-punk artifact you could ever dream come to us recorded over email from the astral conjunction of lethal brain-blowers involved in the sickest bands of the moment as Research Reactor Corp, Satanic Togas, Setop Box, Gee Tee, Belly Jelly, Dummy or Skull Kult put on the most wanted one-side 7" by the badass hand of Goodbye Boozy Records!" - Tremendo Garaje

Take from the upcoming "Deny All Knowledge Of Complicity " Album 

Out on ADAGIO830 on June 11th

It’s already 3 years Berlin-based band Pigeon released their self-titled debut LP and shortly after the Bug EP but also hard to believe they found the time to get together with all the involvement in other projects like Liiek, Ostseetraum, Benzin or or or. The 10 new songs on Deny All Knowledge Of Complicity are dry, restive and full of guitar feedback. Pigeon are a contemporary version of post-punk heroes Wire and New Zealand’s noiserock band The Gordons.

"As Big As All Outside" is taken from Ducks Ltd.'s EP "Get Bleak", an expanded re-issue out now on Carpark Records.

LYRICS:
It's as big as all outside
and as silent as the grave at night
and it creeps in like a doubt
Has a name that we won't say out loud

Let's settle in under that wave and then
Let it pull the both of us to sea again
All the way out

It's as big as all outside
and as silent as the grave at night
and it really creeps me out
all the wrecks that we still hang around

Watch me wrap my fingers round the blade again
I'd do the same for you, you are that kind of friend
All the way out

In the next apartment I hear a woman sing
The DJ plays the 12 inch mix of "Vision Thing"
I'm all the way out
