Now That I'm a River

Ebb & Flow

When I was on tour years ago I was stopped and questioned by U.S. Customs at Toronto airport. They wanted to know my intentions and why I was travelling to the US after spending a week in Toronto. "Well, I’m a singer in a band and I’ve got shows booked across the country from New York to LA" I said. The rest of the band were completely unaware of the situation I was in and were way ahead of me, had cleared Customs, and were awaiting my arrival on the plane.

After an intense interrogation, the Customs officials decided to deny me entry based on my Visa not allowing me to sing in the U.S. - you actually need an Entertainment Visa to do this which requires a lot of money and filling out tonnes of paperwork... The Customs officer walked me to the front of the airport, turned me around and said "Good luck". 

So, there I was, in a country I had never been before and I’m looking around thinking 'Where the hell do I go? What's my next move?'. Lucky I had met some really cool Canadians during the week at some of our shows, so I gave them a call. I spent the next two weeks soul searching and sleeping on floors.

"Shadow of a Doubt" is about those two weeks of having no real sense of commitment, time, place, or idea of how and when I was going to get back to Australia.

Shadow of a Doubt

"From the stimulating intro on you’ll tap your feet, without even noticing it. This is the wake-up-call I want to hear when I can’t get out of my bed in the morning. You simply can’t resist this shot of adrenaline. This is what elevating pop is all about. Vitalizing, energizing, and galvanizing. In a normal world, this should be a global hit. Oh yeah, I feel quite euphoric and, trust me, you’ll have your heart beat as fast as mine after just one spin. Hopefully, we can all come out of the lockdown shadows pretty soon."

Art-pop trio Oya Paya are set to make their long awaited return with a brand new 6 track mini-album ‘Connect’. The band are renowned across Liverpool for their unique blend of sounds from across the globe, drawing on inspirations from their varied countries of heritage (Singapore, France, Iran and England). The 6 track LP blurs the lines between alt rock, grunge and electro infused indie to create a sound as eclectic as the cultural roots of the outfit.

Something

Need A Ride

"Stationary Life" by Palma Louca

Lyrics:
Who are we? 
In this stationary life
Collide, divide, decide who you are
Blue screen beams 
Another sleepless night 
Surprise surprise
Defy who you are 

All we want to today is anything that'll take our minds away
If you don't live now then you won't live forever 
Moving through the open space, we hope and pray, we'll find something to say
If you don't live now then you won't live forever

I hope you know, it's going to start to fall apart, like pieces, of paper, in the rain
Oh, when it's over, and you wake up at the start
Do you fear it?
Can you feel it?
In the flames 

Green screen dreams
And a silicone wife
You try and try to hide who you are 
Smoke screen screams
On the eve of the fight 
The lies the lies 
Define who you are 


All we want to today is anything that'll take our minds away
If you don't live now then won't live forever 
Moving through the open space, we hope and pray, we'll find something to say
If you don't live now then you won't live forever

I hope you know, it's going to start to fall apart, like pieces, of paper, in the rain.
Oh, when it's over, and you wake up at the start
Do you fear it?
Can you feel it? 
In the flames

Iris Doe - The Times

BMH is the third single from Scottish folk-pop collective Randolph’s Leap’s forthcoming album Spirit Level.

“On one hand, it’s about the pretentious things people say to appear interesting. I found humour in the idea that the Big Momma’s House film franchise could be based on a critically-acclaimed and cherished novel (spoiler: it isn’t) and there are some digs at hipster culture. It’s also about a house not feeling like a home. Looking back, I reckon I was probably exaggerating the flaws in the house but I got a bit fixated on it, almost like it was haunting me or conspiring against me somehow.”

Spirit Level is an upbeat, melodic indie-pop album full of personality, catchy hooks and memorable lyrics, rich in textural, polyphonic arrangements, and capturing the infinite charm of Adam Ross, the leader of this 8-piece band.

As a core songwriter with a large ensemble, Adam Ross may draw comparison with Stephin Merritt or Neil Hannon, while mining the rich Scottish seam of Postcard Records and C86. And as with contemporaries King Creosote or Withered Hand, is unafraid of drawing on folk music’s story telling tradition, detailing the minutiae of life’s fluctuations, here packaged up in glorious, anthemic and energetic pop.

The titular ‘spirit level’ is a steady reference point over what had been an unsettled spell writing the album, with Adam Ross uprooting from a decade in Glasgow to a tauntingly lopsided house in rural Aberdeenshire, navigating his way through shifting phases in his well-being and happiness, and reflecting on the untimely death of two greatly admired acquaintances. That balancing act came in the form of music, in an optimistic, even celebratory, collection of songs.

Recorded over a period of a year in Glasgow with keyboard player Pete MacDonald engineering, mixing and producing the sessions at home, the album went off to mastering in the nick of time: the following night Pete’s flat went Up In Smoke in a massive fire, taking everything bar Pete (and his pet hedgehog, Frida) with it.

“The next generation of witty Scottish indie pop” The Quietus

“A band deserving of every shred of love and success which came Belle & Sebastian's way” The Scotsman

"The Jonathan Richman of Scottish indie" The Herald

Randolph’s Leap started out as a pseudonym for the solo output of Adam Ross, and now includes up to 8 people in the full live band. The debut Randolph’s Leap album, Clumsy Knot, came out in 2014, with another four live and studio albums and a handful of singles across labels Fence Collective, Olive Grove Records and Lost Map. In 2018 a touring theatre show called The Isle of Love was devised around the songs of Randolph’s Leap.

They’ve recorded several Marc Riley sessions, performed at Green Man, T in the Park, Indietracks, and The Edinburgh Fringe, and have toured with The Burning Hell and James Yorkston. 
The Randolph’s Leap name is taken from a scenic location on the River Findhorn.

Randolph’s Leap are Adam Ross (songs, vocals, guitar), Adam Armour-Florence (drums), Ali Hendry (trumpet), Andrew MacLellan (guitar), Fraser Gibson (trombone) Heather Fox (violin), Pete MacDonald (keyboards) and Vicki Cole (bass).

Lyrics:
I looked at you and I felt nothing
I used to feel something, but no now there’s nothing
I found a picture but I didn’t make a sound
I used to break down but everything has changed now
All that being said, I’m yet to go to bed
 
That’s when the thoughts start rolling and the do I still love hims come to play
Overthinking what I wore, did I leave him wanting more that day
 
And now my head hurts, why can’t I put this shit to bed
And I’m hungover, Because I drowned every thought of you with a glass of regret
Why can’t I feel things to a smaller degree
Cos right now I’m hurting enough for both you and me
 
You bit your lip but I showed no interest
It used to have me undressed but now I’m not so impressed
I’ve stopped thinking about our sun kissed love being our shelter
Because that was ruined when you felt her for just one second too long
I said forgive forget but I was yet to go to bed
 
That’s when the thoughts start rolling and the do I still love hims come to play
Overthinking what I wore, did I leave him wanting more that day
 
And now my head hurts, why can’t I put this shit to bed
And I’m hungover, Because I drowned every thought of you with a glass of regret
Why can’t I feel things to a smaller degree
Cos right now I’m hurting enough for both you and me
 
You say it’s different this time cos you love her
Funny you think that I’m bothered
But you see I’ve got far to little time to give you any of mine
I look at you and I don’t feel anything
Apart from when I feel many things, I feel everything
Do you see the dilemma that my heart brings
 
And now my head hurts, why can’t I put this shit to bed
And I’m hungover, Because I drowned every thought of you with a glass of regret
Why can’t I feel things to a smaller degree
Cos right now I’m hurting enough for both you and me
