On his debut mini-album, ​I’m Never Really Here​, ​darvid thor (The Cactus Channel, Frida, Karate Boogaloo) explores what it’s like to make music alone. After playing and writing in bands for over a decade, ​I’m Never Really Here​ is darvid’s first solo venture, and it finds real solace in the solitary.

These songs might seem just dreamy on first listen, with their meandering guitar lines and warm, woozy synthesisers, Thor’s voice at turns a light falsetto and a warm tenor but ​I’m Never Really Here handles material that’s sometimes heavy with a light touch. At times anxious and quietly anguished, tender and candid, these are songs about a growing-up, a breakup, and everything in between. There are traces of Darvid’s soul influences and undergrad jazz degree here, but most present are the wide array of indie and alternative acts that have been influencing his singing, playing, and production: catchy and understatedly complex, these songs both sparkle and stutter.

Darvid recorded ​I’m Never Really Here ​alone in his bedroom — but for some drum/percussion help from Cactus Channel bandmate Hudson Whitlock on lead single ​“Rest of Your Life” and drum production from housemate Max Dowling (Yelderbert, Tetrahedra) on ​“overgrown” — over the course of a year or so. Having spent most of his musical career as an integral member of The Cactus Channel and Frida, Thor saw a solo project as an exhilarating, if daunting opportunity to learn more about himself, as a musician and as a person.

His sweet melancholy of jangly guitars and warbled synthesizers have afforded support from ​Beach Fossils​, ​Danger Mouse​, ​Double J​, ​Triple J Unearthed and ​Indie Shuffle, to name a few. Live, Darvid expands his setup to a four-piece band including Lewis Coleman, Levi Heeringa & Hugh Rabinovici.

Parks Burton - Punch Line (Sean Han Tani Remix)

Cold head, hot sheets - big windows all I need
Deep breath, morning - the possibilities 
One day some sense might bless our heads, entropic and divine 
Locked in, big win - thrilled and thrown aside 
So bad at reacting - bleeding out the cause
We’ve been talking way too much, we’ve been acting way too tough
It’s slow, big snow - trickles in a row
Good news, half truths - just paint me blue and oak
I’ll put my mouth where my hand out is - slamming on the door
Slow kiss, hard miss, attracted to the glow 
So stop. Heard you said you never were one to fight or get mixed up 
But it’s been dragging on and on. Yes, we’re so bad … 
At reacting -  bleeding out the cause
We’ve been talking way too much
We’ve  been acting way to tough
We’ve been slighted, we’ve been stung
We’ve been warned and we’ve been wronged

Asked & Answered

A new single from Monteagle. 

Stream & Purchase Monteagle's debut album "Midnight noon" firetalkrecs.com/shop/monteagle

Monteagle is the solo moniker of Justin Giles Wilcox - best know as chief songwriter in Nassau and now defunct Tennessee band Moonlight Bride. The later of which had some early looks, collapsing just on the brink of break out success. Paste Magazine calling Wilcox’s delivery in a “Best of What’s Next” feature “tremulous, bare-souled vocals, which are as haunted and alluring as the caves that riddle the rocky hills of the band’s hometown.” Monteagle, named for a mountain inside those hills marks a re-birth for the now well seasoned indie rock vet. Expanding on the more ethereal, dreamy inclinations of past work into something closer to the history of those hills.

"Fake News" is the 3rd single off of Gurr's new EP "She Says" (release April 5th)

Fake News

Gaffa Tape Sandy - Headlights

'Low Tide' came out as a 'comeback' song, about being born on the edge of an era that turns back herself into another. Is about Art taking back people to themselves, suddenly waking them up by the hypnotic and whirlwind dreams of curiosity and wonder that come up when thrown into the world.

It's also a sight upon a feeling of eternity: humanity and History both apparently slowly flowing everyday alike to themselves. In this timeless prison, writing 'Low Tide' was like - rewinding a film or coming full circle, as the structure of the song suggests - an attempt to realise a personal, real change that actually everyday beauty in the world lead us to.

LYRICS:

This time I failed again
I lost a face in the game
You know, the streets I've run
Are plenty of faces I've lost

Are you
Gonna be one of them?
Are you?

Is it you or me?
Who swims beneath the ruins?
You can find me
When the sun is high and the eye is shy
With a hand in the light, fade away my mind

I came from the end of a tide
I've seen the ages with the tail of my eye
You know, the streets I've run
Are plenty of faces I've lost

Are you
Gonna be one of them?
Are you?

Is it true or it's me?
Who hears the laughs in the distance?
Is it true or it's me?
When the sun is high and the eye is shy
With a hand in the light fade away my mind

Low Tide

From Patio's debut album out 4/05 on Fire Talk.

Pre Order: firetalkrecs.com/shop/patioessentials

Inspired by classic British post-punk, the songwriting of Cate LeBon, and the close-knit Brooklyn DIY community from which the band first sprouted, Patio now release their long-awaited debut full-length Essentials, a fundamental collection of new music for 2019. Building upon the delicacy of the band’s prior work, Essentials presents fuller sounds, heightened emotions, and grander thematic complexity. Its 10 tracks are dark and introspective, yet hopeful, and often humorous—from rambling spoken word meditations to sparkling melodies and soaring riffs. Melodramatic and grotesque expressions abound, as do soft, subtle moments of quiet self-examination. Mixed by Amar Lal (Big Ups, Ovlov) and mastered by Sarah Register (Protmartyr, US Girls)
