missing_since_Tuesday_night

“I Met an Angel” unfolds as a gentle nighttime dream, where the narrator meets a guardian angel who speaks not of distance or loss, but of quiet presence and care. The song is built on fingerpicked acoustic guitar, sparse piano tones, subtle organ drones, and soft percussion, creating a fragile, almost weightless soundscape.

Lyrically, the ballad reflects on vulnerability, inner strength, and the comfort of knowing that someone watches over us in moments of weakness. The repeated chorus, carried by wordless vocal phrases, reinforces a sense of warmth and reassurance rather than drama or fear. This third version leans fully into minimalism and emotional honesty, allowing silence, space, and simplicity to speak just as loudly as the words themselves.

This track blends human songwriting with AI-assisted sound design.
All lyrics, vocal phrasing choices, and creative direction were developed by Olja Arthur.
The result is a unique artistic expression shaped by emotion, atmosphere, and storytelling. The style blend slow, ballad, pop, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, sparse piano, low organ drones, upright bass, minimal percussion (brushes, soft taps), subtle synth pads, male vocal.

lyrics:
there's so much more than
i can just write on some paper
but the thought alone is killing me
i'm not who i was years ago
remember when we used to dream
about the bleachers, thinking life
could be so beautiful underneath
these summer nights...

chorus:
everything is changing and i can't help
how i'm feeling, i'm sad and i am depressed
i said goodbye to all of my best friends,
wish their lives had me written in them

it's kinda funny how i dreamt about leaving
so many times, i'm a small town girl with
big dreams, and now the time is here i feel
myself aching for another year, maybe another
life here

chorus.
i was so busy making sure
that i end up smewhere where i'm not poor
forget that i've been entering so many doors
my fault for thinking i could befriend you all

everything is changing and i can't see
who i am, i don't recognise me
will i make friends, will i be happy
will i be what i wanna' be?

i don't want to grow up, 
i don't want to leave here,
i wanna go back, never sad,
lay in my bed 2x

chorus.

wish i wasn't capable of change.

changes

i saw you in the cemetery
picking up the flowers you dropped
in the wrong place
you got out your spade
& started digging a new grave
right beside his
where you’ve already lived
ever since the funeral
& i’d never seen
your face so serene
not at least since the day
you met him

i remember how
it felt in those first months
just kicking ‘round a crow's nest
& yet somehow i forget the years
in between then & now
no, it’s the little things
that’ll make your heart sing
on the off-chance you calm your mind
like his out-of-key voice
& the nightmare-noise he’d wake with
& you’d hush right back to sleep

Lyrics:
I see you there outside,
I see your night light.
You walk up to my window,
Then to my bedside.
I’m sippin’ on my distasteful choice,
I’m living in an empty space.
Let’s go out tonight,
Let’s go feed our vice some more.

I’m not ready cause I’m in a disaster. 
Not too steady when my hearts beating faster.
The food's ready baby, come get your dinner.
It's getting cold, but I’m getting colder.

We made it through the night.
Say hallelujah.
Small talk and blurry faces,
Old ways to burn time.
No need to count the cases,
No need to wonder why.
I need a new mind.
I need a new mind.
I’m sippin’ on my distasteful choice.
I’m living in an empty space,
And I’m lookin’ up high.
Threw away my poise.
I’m loving every second I waste.
I don’t wanna be alive, but I wanna be awake.
My head is a crowded place.
You’re so proud tonight.
Let’s go feed our vice some more.

I’m not ready cause I’m in a disaster.
Not too steady when my hearts beating faster.
The food's ready baby, come get your dinner.
It's getting cold, but I’m getting colder.

I don’t wanna talk about it.
I don’t wanna talk to you.
We’re here alone, but it's crowded.
And I don’t wanna hear the sound when,
You always wanna talk about it,
But you never wanna let me go.
You never cared about what I wanted,
So I don’t wanna talk about it

(I don’t wanna talk about it.)

I’m not ready cause I’m in a disaster. 
Not too steady when my hearts beating faster.
The food's ready baby, come get your dinner.
It's getting cold but I’m getting colder.

Dinner's Ready

Listen to the first single from our forthcoming LP "The Garden of Inescapable Pleasure" on Shelflife Records.

Preorder here: https://lavenderblush.bandcamp.com/

LP release late November 2020.

I'm In Love

An upbeat track driven by keys that puts an 80's synth spin on a conversation about today's current struggles in the world. Teleporting a listener out of this world via dancing guitar riffs and energized melodies the song is essentially a virtual rocket ship. Different than anything we've heard from Sarah Mootz thus far, "mars" delivers a fresh, and innovative sound to the Indie Pop/Rock world while offering a need-to- hear message to it's listeners.

Promise The Monster delivers the wonderfully airy new single ‘Beating Heart’
 
Having established herself as one of Sweden’s most esoteric and mesmerising songwriters, with critical acclaim from Uncut, Mojo, Clash and Pitchfork, and shows with the likes of Chelsea Wolfe, Mark Kozelek and Jens Lekman in recent years, Promise and the Monster (aka Billie Lindahl) has now returned to deliver her latest sweeping single ‘Beating Heart’, lifted from her forthcoming new EP ‘Chewing Gum’.

Following on from the recently shared offering ‘Closed My Eyes’, ‘Beating Heart’ marks her sophomore release through new label Icons Creating Evil Art, and continues that smooth and lofty aesthetic that she is known for. Breathing an effortlessly warm and enticing atmosphere into this new work, her latest delight shows us that she is currently creating some of her most breathtaking material to date.

Speaking about the new single, Billie said, "Beating Heart is about two sisters watching each others back through adulthood. One of them is more reckless though so the other one has a lot to do. It was fun recording the song since it got bigger and bigger all the time, like a suitcase full of random stuff."

While adding about the forthcoming new video, "The video is directed by the fantastic animator Cissi Efraimsson, she made two bald, wide smiling sisters travelling to meet each other, dancing together in a velvet palace."

Billie’s musical education started young, playing Swedish folk on the cello at school by day and recording mix tapes by night. She became fascinated with Nick Drake, Kaki King and Elliot Smith, writing her debut EP ‘Antarktis’ and first album ‘Transparent Knives’ at the age of 18, having been picked up by Imperial Recordings. With a father playing country bands and mother into an eclectic mix of jazz and alternative rock, from day one her tastes were always going to be fluid.

By second album ‘Red Time’ in 2009, Promise and the Monster were touring Europe with, among others, label mate José Gonzales. Having relocated from the pine forests of rural Sweden, Billie embedded herself in Stockholm’s underground music, literature and art scenes. Collaborations followed, with experimental bands such as Alcest and This Gift is a Curse along with performances on heavyweight festival bills such as Roadburn.

Signing to Bella Union for her third full-length she released ‘Feed The Fire’ in 2016, produced by Love Martinsen, a quintessential break-up record that focused on abstract imagery.

In 2020, Martinsen joined Billie to co-write her upcoming material. The new songs explore a less introspective side of her psyche, with an emphasis on the tongue-in-cheek nature lurking beneath a veneer of earnestness.

On the signing news, Billie tells us, “I'm so pleased, together we can take this in a great new direction. I used to like writing quite cryptic stuff but I tried hard this time to get out of that safe haven and be more direct. The new songs often express the feeling of being that last person at the party, dancing slowly in the background, waiting for something to happen. Like a sad moonlight disco.”

While the label Icons Creating Evil Art added, "We are thrilled to welcome one of the most iconic voices in dark pop to our evil art family. Promise and the Monster has been working right beneath the surface and in the shadows creating the most beautiful world of her own. It's time we invite you all to share it with us! "

Beating Heart

Promise And The Monster - Beating Heart

Where do you go 
when you're asleep
is it far away from me? 
Need space to breathe?

Say the things you say to me 
when you talk in your sleep
is the dream just a dream? please

I've got a wild horse on my back
telling me what I lack
and screams to stay away 
please just run away
and though the storm clouds might seem close
you know I've got your back
all you have todo is try
don't get tired of me

I know I ask too much sometimes
and make you mad until you leave

I don't wanna leave, no I don't wanna leave 
I need you to see, I need you to believe
Maybe It'll make sense this time 
can you see from my side? x2 

I've got a wild horse on my back
telling me what I lack
and screams to stay away 
please just run away
and though the storm clouds might seem close
you know I've got your back
all you have todo is try
don't get tired of me x2
