::: e radio: june 2022

It's 10.30am on a Tuesday morning. Office party last night was a mess. CEO made a pass at Kelly from Commercial and then performed three rounds of “The Boys Are Back In Town” on the karaoke. You did about seven pints then slipped a French exit a good few hours before it wound down. Could have been worse – but you’re struggling today as the excel spreadsheet you’re faced with hammers you repeatedly in the head like a grim magistrate passing judgement on last night’s ordeal.
 
If I can only make it ‘til lunch, you think. The local is down the road – a few halves of the good stuff and I’ll be right as rain. As the minutes start to tick on you start to feel a little better, strengthened by the image of alcohol-induced relief. You take lunch early and fly (as the crow does) straight down the road to the palace of pints. Three quarters of an hour hence, and you’re a little more human and a little less like a human dartboard.  
 
Darts. What a fantastic idea, you think. Suddenly its 2.30pm and Tim from Accounts is next to you, Guinness in hand. I bloody love beer, you grunt at him before shoving your hand into a bag of whatever crips had the silliest flavour, in search of greasy ebullience.

GIFT, NYC’s newest psych rock sensation, and the latest signing to Dedstrange, unwrap a Recurring-era Spacemen 3 treat with a dreamy reimagining of “Love Reaches Out” by A Place to Bury Strangers for digital release on June 3.
 
Percolating synthesizers and new vocal harmonies from GIFT guide this lucid deconstruction of the See Through You finale through the pearly gates of new age 4AD heaven, floating across the speakers on delicate, softly filtered tufts of reverb.
 
“’Love Reaches Out’ is the hope at the end of the tunnel concluding the album,” says Oliver Ackermann. “I went through such a traumatic experience writing this record—and yet there were people there to help me through. So, this song is about appreciating and thanking them.”
 
A Place to Bury Strangers—“Love Reaches Out (GIFT Remix)” is out on streaming platforms on June 3, 2022—only on Dedstrange. 

See Through You, the critically heralded sixth album of futuristic punk music by A Place to Bury Strangers, is now available digitally and on vinyl at finer record shops worldwide.

A Place To Bury Strangers - Love Reaches Out (GIFT Remix)

The Folie In My Head

Kette aus Diamanten

Been home alone
You can’t save me from myself
While all the world
Is hanging from your lips
Now I’m folding under our
Direct messages
I know when I’m asleep
But I don’t feel

Alive
The perfect shadow right there by my side
Those hollow places that I keep inside
Those conversations where my tongue is tied
My chest it heaves but I don’t feel alive

Can’t hold it all
I can’t hold you like this
The water falls and all you gets a mist
Now I’m folding under our direct messages
I know when I’m asleep
But I don’t feel

Alive
The perfect shadow right there by my side
Those hollow places that I keep inside
Those conversations where my tongue is tied
My chest it heaves but I don’t feel alive

Been home alone
I can’t hold you like this
When all the world is hanging from your lips
Now a promise seems to come
When I don’t know why
I know when I’m asleep
But I don’t feel

Alive
The perfect shadow right there by my side
Those hollow places that I keep inside
Those conversations where my tongue is tied
My chest it heaves but I don’t feel alive

Alive

Lashes To Lashes

Stay Close

Mira Cook - Stay Close

Sydney indie rock three-piece Crystal Cities have made a triumphant return after almost a year-long hiatus. Although that’s not to say they haven't been busy. Lead vocalist and guitarist/keyboardist Geoff Rana has been spending days on end in his self-made studio where he’s been writing, producing and engineering the band’s latest material. Today we get the first taste of said latest material in the form of new single, “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore”. 

While the band’s previous effort - their sophomore album Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight - was an exercise in hard-hitting alternative rock that could rattle a live audience, “Love Don’t live Here Anymore” feels more explorative and colourful. Yes, the signature big anthemic chorus is still there, however this time it feels more personable, more relatable, and more emotive. Rana even tries his hand at a low croon for the song’s verses which will be a pleasant surprise for listeners familiar with their back catalogue. 

"I happened to be going through one of those 'down' moments where giving up music and writing songs seemed like the best option for moving forward with my life... Wild peaks of motivation followed by troughs of listlessness are simply part of the experience of being a creative person struggling to find some semblance of success in an ever-changing world... Ironically, it was when I was feeling at my lowest that I happened to sit down with my guitar and start strumming the opening chords for ‘Love Don’t Live Here Anymore’.

It was through this song that I found myself reuniting with why I write songs and why I love it so much. ‘Love Don’t Live Here Anymore’ is about the experience of losing something or someone you once loved and then the joy you get from reconnecting with, or rediscovering that something or someone."
⁣- Geoff Rana (vocals/guitar/keys)

The song also features the band’s newest member, Neel Shukla. Shukla replaces previous drummer Daniel Conte who has performed on all the band’s previous work. 

Long-time Crystal Cities collaborator Paul Lani (David Bowie, Prince) was once again tapped to handle mixing and mastering duties for the recording.

SInce the band’s formation in 2016 they have released a highly praised EP - Who’s Gonna Save Us Now (2017) - and two critically acclaimed albums - Under The Cold Light of the Moon (2019) and Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight (2021). 

The band consists of Geoff Rana (lead vocals, guitar, keys), Jared King (Bass, backing vocals), and newest member, Neel Shukla (Drums).

Riotous guitars, insistent beats, and captivating melodies: this is the essence of The Oceans. Formed in 2014 by Copenhagen multi-instrumentalists Dan Joe & Linus Valdemar, the duo sounds like their city feels – a pulsing, paradoxical sea of chaos, noise, and serenity.

New bands, new music, new music videos, and a lot of songs to remember.
