PSYCHIC WAVE - "Get It Right"

After releasing their debut single ‘She Changes The
Weather’ which garnered plays on BBC radio
London numerous times from Jess Izsatt and Radio
X by John Kennedy; Burning Juniper are following
up the strong debut with their second single ‘What’s
The Point’ also recorded with producer Josh Tyrrell
(Lana Del Rey, Mark Ronson, Tony Visconti). It’s a fast
paced anthem that shows another side to the bands
sound. 'What’s The Point' is a favourite for Burning
Juniper to play due to the sheer pace and energy of
the song. It’s an indie anthem filled with angst as
the protagonist of the song asks the question
what’s the point of relationships if they end up in
pain and regret.

What's The Point

Mandrake Handshake return with their brand new single 'Emonzaemon', taken from their brand new EP 'The Triple Point of Water' out on November 18th. 

'Emonzaemon' is a fearless psych-explosion representing the eclectic sound of the hypnotic 9 piece psych-collective, with the main inspiration for the song coming from a ninja from the anime 'Katanagatari'. Indicative of the self-honed style they dub ‘Flowerkraut’, Mandrake unleash a hedonistic brain-frying feast of krautrock, art-pop and psychedelia, spiced with enigmatic grooves and fearless improvisations.

a christmas song

I hear you’re off to the Bahamas
Unwrapping gifts upon the beach
Im sorry i kept your sunglasses
I’m sorry you kept the receipt 
  
This Christmas i’ll still be in Yorkshire
Get drunk across an empty chair 
Mulling wine and over something 
I’ll try to get over next year

I hope you have a sunny Christmas
I know how much you hate the snow
And how it makes you think of England
At least England had the grace to let you go 

You gave your furniture to goodwill
And sold your car, or so I heard
I know we made plans for the new year
I guess we’re used to breaking words 

This Christmas I’ll try something useful 
But all the soup kitchens are full
It’s strange that even when I’m trying
I can’t do anything for good 

I hope you have a sunny Christmas
I know how much you hate the snow
And how it makes you think of England
At least England had the grace to let you go 

I hope you have a sunny christmas 
I know how much you hate the snow 
I know that you won’t read this letter
But at least I had a chance to let you know

a christmas song

Music toys with time. Or, maybe songs reflect back that time is always toying with us. The world of a song takes hold of us like an eternity to be lost in, with its repetitions and variations, but ultimately, as with everything else, it has a start and then ends. And there’s no place to lose time like San Francisco, where there are no seasons and all the seasons occur within one day; where the fog takes the space where your plans might have been; where there’s insane wealth all around and everyone you know and love is hanging on at the periphery and making art on any given Tuesday night. About Glenn Donaldson’s new record, "The Town That Cursed Your Name," he says, "I realized as I was piecing it together that it's a song cycle about trying to live while also feeling called to make music." It’s a double life when it works and a deeper doubleness to mirror the Gemini nature of songs themselves. "The Town That Cursed Your Name" contemplates this problem with wryness, generosity, and the micro- and macroscopic realness Donaldson is known and loved for.

Whereas the 2022 collection "Summer at Land's End" was a softer, gauzier world, "The Town That Cursed Your Name" is heavier, with fuzzed lines running through. "Leave It All Behind" starts out with an amorphous whine but quickly launches into something both supremely melodic and buzzing at the edges. "Here Comes the Lunar Hand" is an impressionist geometry that seems to capture the album’s themes without telling you how. Lyrically, Donaldson embraces the earnestness of his heroes Paul Westerberg and Grant McLennan. Sonically, late '80s college rock is filtered through song-forward lo-fi acts like East River Pipe and House of Tomorrow-era Magnetic Fields. Like the images that accompany his releases – flowers and residential street scenes are pushed to the breaking point with color – Donaldson’s songs are at the same time dazzling and lurid, beautiful and burdened, not unlike life as a musician around here.

In the liner notes, Donaldson dedicates the record "to everyone who ever tried to start a band in the Bay." There will be many knowing smiles at his title "Too Late For An Early Grave." But, this dedication captures something else about the particular strain of sincerity that laces the city water supply – the front man around here is on stage under those lights evincing the fervor not of the pop star but of the biggest fan.

The Town That Cursed Your Name

The Reds, Pinks & Purples - Too Late for an Early Grave

“We recorded ‘Memoirs of Working in a Bowling Alley’ and the rest of our debut album with Andrija Tokic at the Bomb Shelter Studio in Nashville. I’ve spent my entire adult life working in various service industry jobs- some more soul sucking than others. One of these jobs was spraying bowling shoes at the local lanes. ‘Memoirs’ is about working these types of jobs and how at times it makes you question humanity and never want to speak to a soul ever again; that emotional drain that can only be experienced when you’re dealing with shitty drunk people night after night.” -Andrea Scanniello of Dropper
