Parallel

South side
In your eyes
When you cry
Oh you know we don’t get along

You say love don’t let me go
I was sad when you said that you wanted me to leave you alone

Cause it’s better sometimes I know
To forget 
Forget what makes it hurt

Is it bad
To fake believe 
On silver screens 
Don’t know
Honestly
Say I’m hard to please
Everything feels
Always hard to deal
And I oversleep
When it’s dark can’t see
Everything feels
Except the ones who have it all
While we have nothing

I’m a sad sight leave me alone

Cause it’s better sometimes I know
To forget 
Forget what makes it hurt

A Place You Grew Up In

We're All Screwed

Adding subtle but relentless synths and ever more woozy guitars to their anxiously energetic punk sound, the new single is a danceable, nostalgia-tinged three and half minute banger about the joys of getting sweaty in a club.

Lyrics:

Fire escape vapour
Tommy Girl and sweat and hairspray
Stomach is pulsing
It’s a disco convulsion

And we’re moving down
The crush of the warm crowd
Twitch in the strobe light
Spin in the dry ice

Pull on your good jeans
You are the queen of the freak scene
Chips on the night bus
Sick on your new shoes but what a buzz

And we’re moving down
The crush of the warm crowd
Twitch in the strobe light
Spin in the dry ice

disco convulsion
disco convulsion
disco convulsion
disco convulsion

And we’re moving down
The crush of the warm crowd
Twitch in the strobe light
Spinning spinning spinning in the dry ice

And we’re moving down
The crush of the warm crowd
Twitch in the strobe light
Spin in the dry ice

Dry Ice

Arriving in a locked-down UK in 2020, Australia-born Kim Ven makes warm indie pop music, flavoured with folk and americana. Kim is an uplifting and empathic songwriter, writing about self-discovery and the impermanence of youth, influenced by Maggie Rogers, Leon Bridges and Lana Del Rey. 

A modern take on 60s romantic pop, Why Didn’t You Call? tells the familiar experience of being left hanging by the person you like, but still waiting by the phone for their call. “I've realised that I deserve a love better than that, and I hope anyone who listens realises that too” says Kim.

Why Didn't You Call?

Gold Spectacles - PseudoFriends

Garvie takes the AI conversation and holds it up to a fun-house mirror with Default, a frenetic pop rock stomper. 

Default opens with a groove-laden, rough and-ready garage rock beat - but that’s far too simple cool for Garvie’s liking. It didn’t take co-producers Garvie and props long to cover this simple canvas in irreverent lyrics, bit-crushed synths and cartoonish SFX (banana peels, anyone?). Default walks a hyperactive tightrope between the extremes of cool minimalism and pure fun, where Queens of the Stone Age’s sense of groove and Metronomy’s production style can be gleamed.

“I like to make music that nods to the past in a fun way whilst sounding modern at the same time.” Garvie explains. “While it’s fairly tongue-in-cheek lyrically, Default is ultimately about feeling obsolete and replace-able in a relationship, which is why it uses quite a lot of computer-based references. It’s also got a lot of parallels with all of the recent developments in AI, which have definitely made me feel like I might be obsolete soon as a human artist!”
