ABOUT:
A record of big pop moments and globe trotting arrangements in technicolor, these songs focus on a five year period of struggle, self discovery, growth and renewal in the life of songwriter/record-maker David Karsten Daniels. During this time DKD got married, had a kid and experienced a crisis of self-identity. Losing himself in self-help books and the Enneagram, many of these songs appear as mantras for a new husband and father trying to trade control and ego for connection and meaning. While a few of the songs flash back to easygoing youthful times, most deal very directly with the day to day of trying to survive and thrive in a new reality (with a handful of the songs following DKD into alternate realities as Larry Ellison, a Ghanaian treasure hunter and a rabbit). End the end, the album is a sort of letting go - shedding a pervasively melancholic youth, discarding a fabricated self in order to participate in an ever-evolving and interdependent family unit. 

Along the way David fell deep in love with the sounds of Fela Kuti, Congolese and Indonesian music, fun. and Kanye West. Roughly half of these songs feature extensive collaboration with songwriter/producer/filmmaker Chris Walker (Driver Friendly/Hopeless Records/Danger Films) whose focus on rhythm, faster tempos and relentless hooks helps gives the record a feeling of urgency and buoyancy rarely found on David's previous albums.  

A handful of the other songs feature the inspired performances of friends and family - among them David’s wife and son, his brother and sister-in-law Dane and Abbey Daniels and friends Kyle Henson and Ben Jousan. In at surprising turn of events, Austin, TX singer Lex Land (NBC’s ‘The Voice’) and Dallas rapper -topic briefly appear...

[Verse 1]
I picked a thought from the garden of noise,
It dripped down my hand like a voice,
Tasted sweet, then turned to static,
Guess I bit off something tragic.

I watered my doubt with caffeine dreams,
Grew a forest out of broken schemes,
Every color bled through time,
And I forgot which head was mine.

[Pre-Chorus]
All the clocks are bending slow,
My shadow hums in stereo,
If I speak too loud I fade,
Just fruit on a branch I made.

[Chorus]
Mindfruit — dripping from my ceiling,
Juice of all my twisted feelings,
Peel it back and watch me shine,
Rot or bloom, it’s all divine.

Mindfruit — bite it if you dare,
I’ve got galaxies tangled in my hair,
The seeds all hum, they know my name,
But nothing ever grows the same.

[Verse 2]
I swallowed a song and forgot the words,
Now melodies flutter like psychic birds,
They perch in my skull and sing in code,
While my body walks a different road.

Lick the light, it tastes like fear,
But I keep coming back every year,
This orchard grows where logic ends,
And every branch forgets to bend.

[Bridge]
The colors melt through veins of sound,
My roots lift off the haunted ground,
Can’t tell if I’m real or fruit of thought,
But every dream I’ve sold, I bought.

[Final Chorus]
Mindfruit — dripping through the dawn,
Reality hums, then it’s gone,
Peel it open, let it slide,
Bite the core and watch me hide.

Mindfruit — bitter, bright, and free,
Growing wild inside of me,
The sweetest taste of what’s not true,
But I keep eating just for you.

VILLA NAH: LOVE CHANCE - From the upcoming album "Ultima"
ISRC: FISR61600024

Villa Nah is back after a five-year hiatus as the critically acclaimed synth duo returns to live form with their new material, of which earlier on Spring 2016 released ‘Stranger‘ gives us a sneak peek. Love Chance is the second single from the upcoming second album “Ultima”. Duo’s distinctive sound is filled with ageless synth pop doused in dreamy synthesizers and Juho Paalosmaa’s even more forlorn vocals.

Villa Nah´s Juho & Tomi: “For the summer of '16, we wanted to serve a sunny slice of romance, the sweet kiss of a Love Chance. With ripples of synths and sheer optimism, this is our soundtrack for those July afternoons.”

Villa Nah is a Finnish pop duo consisting of Juho Paalosmaa and Tomi Hyyppä. Villa Nah's sound is heavily influenced by 1980's synthpop. Producer/DJ Jori Hulkkonen co-produced the band's debut album Origin and it was released in Finland in March 2010 by Sähkö Recordings's sub label Keys of Life. The album reached number seven on the Official Finnish Album List. 

The East Helsinki pairing of Juho Paalosmaa and Tomi Hyyppä consolidated their position by supporting OMD on their UK Autumn tour. However, the two childhood friends went quiet afterwards and Juho Paalosmaa formed SIN COS TAN with ‘Origin’  co-producer Jori Hulkkonen;

SIN COS TAN’s three acclaimed albums to date, ‘Sin Cos Tan’ , ‘Afterlife’  and ‘Blown Away’ , plus their most recent EP ‘Smile Tomorrow Will Be Worse’ , filled the void left by VILLA NAH. But the Finnish duo are now back!

Live dates are planned for this summer, for example next one at Flow Festival, Helsinki on Sunday 14.8.2016 while the new “Ultima” album is set to feature songs such as ‘Love Chance’ and ‘Stranger’.

Diddy Bop (ft. Raury & Cam O'bi)

it stings
lookin’ at you lookin’ at me and i’m feeling something
your fingers
burnin’ on my skin but my touch is doing nothing
you told me
“maybe if we lived a little closer we could do this”
you hold me
and i don’t give a fuck about the miles
don’t wanna lose you now

you don’t stay in touch
i don’t even think that your songs are about me

but you don’t like me the way that i like you
and i’m hopelessly hung up and it’s too soon
cause you don’t like me the way that i like you

it’s a lot that i like you 
the way that i like you 
the way that i like you
it’s not that i like you 
the way that i like you
the way that i like you

come clean
tell me if you miss me cause i’m going fucking crazy
this ain’t me
overdosin’ rollercoastin’ drink you down like whiskey 
you told me
“maybe in the new year i could visit you in LA”
you hold me
and i don’t give a fuck about the miles
don’t wanna lose you ever

you don’t stay in touch
i don’t even think that your songs are about me

but you don’t like me the way that i like you
and i’m hopelessly hung up and it’s too soon
cause you don’t like me the way that i like you

it’s a lot that i like you 
the way that i like you 
the way that i like you
it’s not that i like you 
the way that i like you
the way that i like you

do you remember the night
we drove in your car
to some empty bar
and all i could see in your eyes were the stars
all i could feel was your hand on my heart
do you remember the night
you played your guitar
we kissed in the dark
and all i could see in your eyes were the stars
all i could feel was your hand on my heart

but you don’t like me the way that i like you
and i’m hopelessly hung up and it’s too soon
cause you don’t like me the way that i like you

it’s a lot that i like you 
the way that i like you 
the way that i like you
it’s not that i like you 
the way that i like you
the way that i like you


Like You
