April 2021: The Alternative Music Playlist

They rise above our heads like cathedrals
But every floor of offices
Is turned to floral flourishes

Pipes full of honey 
Down lift shafts it's running
Basements of automatons 
Dreaming halcyon

Kingfishers watching ponds blossoming
Printing sheets of water tension
Energy for generations

Tomorrow's garden hear my cry
Build it up into the sky
Tomorrow's garden hear my cry
Build it up into into

Colony
Colony collapse
We built it back
Fixed it up perhaps
Fill the air with tiny wings
Drive the city desert springs

Pipes full of honey
Down lift shafts it's running
Basements of automatons 
Dreaming halcyon

Stacks on stacks of gardens growing
Spines and hands of farmers eased
Fill the ground with fish and seeds
Warehouses with food for free

Pipes full of honey
Down lift shafts it's running
Basements of automatons
Dreaming halcyon

Tomorrow's garden hear my cry
Build it up into the sky
Tomorrow's garden hear my cry
Build it up into the sky

Tomorrow's Garden

Johnny Mikes - Crowd Control (Out Now on Lower East)

Sleepyhead

Trying

On A Different

As Per Usual (Skit)

Making his debut on Apollo Detroit native Simple (or Konstantin Papatheodoropoulos as he’s known to his friends) steps up with six of the warmest, soulful tracks we’ve heard in some time. 
Weaving a patchwork quilt of found sounds, pops, clicks and tape hiss and marrying these with the warm textures of distorted rhodes, pitched down vocals, resonant drones and bumpy percussion, Simple arrives at a sound based on what he himself calls ‘happy accidents’ - with a heavy emphasis on improvisation.

Simple - Draw The Shades

Hands free guns got them all killing easy
But if the system catches fire then they run off screaming treason
Another kid on the ground brings a military answer
Got rubber bullets and the dogs staring down the protestors

There’s only one group that showed up in riot gear
There’s only one group that showed appeal

I feel the doom coming down on a whole generation
Oh like when it lies like a dog and it’s called out as greatness
I feel the weight of the world in a single vibration

And I know it’s all for granted and all talk flood

We’re running around, around, around here
I can’t say where the night will go
There’s a million different people trying to let it show
We’re running around, around, around here

Talk Flood
