Grace Joyner - Dreams

Capacity

Shark Smile

Sanctuary

Look at me 
Try to see 
who I really am 
Why can't you see that my soul is a flame 
and wants to burn 
You prevent it from breathing
It has to fight for its life, it has to take off, start the flight to the bright 
run away from the blindness 

Refrain:
I'm looking around and I open my eyes for the first time 
I sharpen my knife to cut holes in the eyelids of the people 
to make them see the world 
2x

Start to cry 
It took a while to understand that you have never seen before 
Your deepest core is extinguished and that's why 
you cannot feel this sparkling fire in your soul 
Oh, it's dead 
You prevented it from breathing 
It had to fight for its life, it had to take off, start the flight to the bright 
but it decided for the blindness

Refrain 

Open your eyes 4x
Open your eyes to heal your soul

SLIDE 2

Taken from their new album 'Siesta' 
Out 28th September
Pre-order link: lnk.to/hatersiesta

“Hater’s songs epitomize jangling grace as Caroline Landahl coos with maximum approachability.” NPR

“Their unique take on rock music feels familiar and lived-in, taking bits from indie-pop, post-punk and classic rock.” Stereogum 

“Gorgeous, achingly bittersweet vocals, perpetually swaying between comforting and devastating.” Gorilla Vs Bear 

Resolute in their sound, ‘Siesta’ is the perfect soundtrack for that summer romance and the inevitable break up. Heartbreak has never sounded so sweet! 

Hater’s powerful vulnerability and charm has seen them rise quickly through the ranks earning kudos from NPR (Austin 100), Stereogum (Best New Bands Of 2017), The Fader, BBC6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and more.

Sprawling guitars chime whilst slow burning grooves and classic rock rhythms allow tender-hearted vocals to soar over intelligible dream pop. Effortless and assured, the Scandi quartet drift eloquently into well-structured and stunning melodies.

Produced by Joakim Lindberg (Yast and Hey Elbow) at Studio Sickan within old railway sheds outside of Malmö Sweden. Hater tackle their personal experiences of life, love and relationships yet through their shared songwriting there's a togetherness. Synth pop earworm ‘It’s So Easy’ contrasts the slower paced 'I Wish I Gave You More Time Because I Love You' that blends beautiful sweeping sax from Inge Petersson Lindbäck. The haunting metronomic beat of ‘I Sure Want To’ calls to mind local residents Death And Vanilla, Hollywood glamour exudes on shimmering 'Things To Keep Up With' and 'Cut Me Loose' captures those long youthful days of summers gone by.. "Wouldn't it be fun? Noon is halfway and I feel gone".

Hater “boast Marr-esque guitars and vocals reminiscent of fellow Swedes The Concretes” (Norman Records) whilst having the pop sensibilities of The Chills, Alvvays, Snail Mail and Makthaverskan.
In early 2017 Hater released their debut album ‘You Tried’ blending jangle with grit, their recent EP ‘Red Blinders’ (Fire Records) soon followed in support of their first headline tour across Europe. Festivals in 2018 have already included SXSW, Eurosonic and Ment.

Lasai - Fyah (Cool Up Records)

Beauty has a way of momentarily conquering us, but stripping down to our essence is what makes us fall in love. Behind Those Clothes can be sexual if you want it to be, but at its core, it's about discovering truth through vulnerability.

* 
Telephone Dream Girl: Grace Cardinale and Rylee Higgins 
Spooky Marvin: Mitchell Marinaro, who let us use his recording equipment. This album would not be made possible without him! He also helped immensely in post production by recording some of the guitar parts that Rylee had made. He created the ending instrumental of Parasite and recorded guitar for Hide. We also collaborated on Bear and Don’t Count on Me.

About this Album:
This album was originally just a few songs that Rylee and I had created purely from jamming on guitar. We had always planned on recording them and releasing them, but we wanted to make sure that we could push them ultimately to make them the best they could be. The songs you hear on the album now were completely different from how they started. It took us 3-4 years to finally start recording and finish writing all the parts of the songs. Not to mention the amount of time we took procrastinating! We have so many songs that never made it on the album, but we still might release in the future. This album was heavily inspired by the Hansel and Gretel story and old creepy video games. We wanted to make sure to release it in September-October because it’s dark enough to fit the Halloween vibe. These songs were completely formed by a mood rather than a genre, although they do fall under a dream pop/dark-wave category. I would recommend listening to this on headphones at night. 
We hope you enjoy! ♡
