Lyrics:
I'm comfortably wrapped in you
I can feel your lungs, I can hear you too
I'll follow you as you're breaking new ground
Hazy memories
I'm still wrapped in you but they might sweep me away soon
Will you follow me now out of this lonely town?
Be a gun to our mistakes, we'll be wonderful this way
Every new word I say makes me so afraid
Hazy memories
So far I'm still wrapped in you but they might sweep me away soon
Who cares right?
I'm wrapped in you
Don't get swept away, I'm not running away

LYRICS:
You're wondering why you're not here
You're wondering why you're not better
You're wondering why you're not here
Don't you know we'll last forever?

I'm on your side
Run with me and hide
I'm on your side
Don't push me aside

Stop thinking about it you're missing all the points
Remembering how you'll be missed
Discovering you're tough is hard I know
As you finish your steps, we'll go on another ride
You know I know you know it comes out the same
It conspires me, is it the easy way out?

Ride

Lyrics:
Clear your lust and push away the boys
Be yourself, you're almost gold
Forever you said, some would erase, I know
Slowing down here dear
But you can still touch them, you're not that far ahead
You're falling forward but you're not that far ahead
Soon you'll be glowing all night
Like a superblast in your eyes but you're not that far ahead
A heavy hand can't feel desire
I know it hurts but you're making up ground

---------------------

Following on from how much we enjoyed putting out the recent Fear of Men release, we have decided to make the flexizine (a 7” flexidisc record accompanied by a 20 page zine) a quarterly fixture. With no further ado, it gives us great pleasure to introduce issue 2. The new EP from Bournemouth based 5 piece The Death of Pop.

Made up of three brothers and two cousins, The Death of Pop produce the sort of well-polished sound you’d expect from a tight knit family unit. We have long admired their jangley shoegaze from afar, but it was only when they sent us a lovely cassette demo did we finally make acquaintance. Opening track ‘Whenever’ picks up where excellent previous single ‘Sun in my Eyes’ left off. Dueling guitars, blissful summery melodies and a magic carpet ride of fuzz and distortion.

Here is Mirage, track two on the EP and the track which we have committed to vinyl. Once again it's a shoegazing stunner whilst the EP’s further three tracks are testament to The Death of Pop’s ability to consistently craft jangle pop masterpieces that engulf you in a glowing warmth.

As previously mentioned, the EP is set to be released on a lovely blue transparent 7” flexidisc accompanied by a 20 page magazine. The flexidisc will feature the sub-6-minute drones of track 2 Mirage and a download code for the full EP will be included with the magazine. We have elected to release music in this format as we were getting a bit frustrated with the standard 7” release and realised we could be giving you a bit more for your money.

The release is ltd to 250 copies and set to be released on the 4th August. You can pre-order your copy from our shop right now.

Shelflife is excited to present the return of California Snow Story with their new album "Some Other Places," coming May 27 on digital format. 

David Skirving began California Snow Story in 2001 after leaving Scottish band Camera Obscura. David was a founder member and original guitarist of Camera Obscura and he gave the band their name. He wrote four songs on their debut album Rare UK Bird and guitar parts for their album Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi. David played with Camera Obscura at the legendary Bowlie Weekender festival in 1999. 

California Snow Story first released music on Shelflife Records in the US in 2002 (One Good Summer EP) and released their first album Close to the Ocean in the UK and the Philippines in 2007. This album was the first release to feature vocalist Sandra Belda MartÃ­nez from Spain and keyboard player Madoka Fukushima from Japan. Except for the occasional live show, the band went on hiatus due to other commitments and living in different countries. California Snow Story continued to attract a following and gradually began working on a follow up album. 

The new album features the same core members but also has guest vocals from occasional collaborator Melanie Whittle from the Hermit Crabs. Mel originally played drums and percussion for the band's live appearances. Additionally, vocalist Lupe Núñez-Fernández from Pipas / Amor De Diaz sings on the song "Outliers". Making the line up more international still, Kristoffer Solvang from Norwegian band The Loch Ness Mouse plays drums on two songs. This album (as with the other releases) was mastered by Jon Chaikin who has worked with bands such as The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Black Tamborine.

Philippine quintet Moscow Olympics' 'Still' is spinning at 45rpm and Mingus says this reminds him of Sub- New Order band The Wake. Their sound fits perfectly into the Fraction Discs roster. Dreamy indie pop, ever so slightly jangly (in a Sarah Records kinda way) and coated in a misty haze of dusty effects that make it sound like it could have been recorded 20 or more years ago during the golden age of Factory Records.
