‘Hardcore From The Heart’ starts with loss and ends with acceptance of the impossibility of achieving an ideal life, examining the imbalance that exists between the life lived and the ideal sought. It’s title is borrowed from the book by sexologist and essayist Annie Sprinkles to reflect the nuanced, emotional and introspective journey that Serrat pursues in her lyrics and music.

Lead single ‘Pictures’ illustrates the album’s rich textures and immersive atmospherics. “Pictures talks about disillusion and the failure of communication,” comments Serrat. “It's also a reminder of the amount of time we stupidly waste on trivial details. That idea of 'perfection never comes' is that you are better off just living your life because things can always go wrong. Tables turn in the blink of an eye. So putting off things while waiting for the right time to do them kills me. 

“The song takes place in Montréal and it's about a broken promise. It was inspired by the fact I didn't let myself be angry with that disappointment. I built a wall and let my frustration and sadness grow in this space but never expressed it. That took a toll on me and by the time I realized it, it was too late.”

SUPERMARKET

You were sitting here 
all of this time
With your mouth closed
I didn’t know what you were thinking
And you never let it show
Then you move to clear your throat
And I’m standing up to go
It isn’t right 
to push me aside, oh
You should’ve told me 
that you got
What you wanted
You should’ve said at the time
That you were worried
But where we left it
Oh we left our sorries
And you just pushed me aside
Sometimes I think I see you
In a car
on a street
In a supermarket queue
And then I’m turning away again
‘Cause I don’t want to face you
Sometimes I think I see you
In a car
on a street
In a supermarket queue
And then I’m turning away again
‘Cause I don’t want to face 
the truth

I should’ve told you that I got
What I wanted
I should’ve said at the time
That I was worried
But where we left it
Oh we left our sorries
And I just pushed you aside

Sometimes I think I see you
In a car
on a street
In a supermarket queue
And then I’m turning away again
‘Cause I don’t want to face you
Sometimes I think I see you
In a car
on a street
In a supermarket queue
And then I’m turning away again
‘Cause I don’t want to face the truth

And I think neither do you
But after all of these years
How could I know you?
And I think neither do you
But after all of this time
How could I know you?

You were sitting here 
all of this time
With your mouth closed
I didn’t know what you were thinking
And you never let it show
Then you move to clear your throat
And you’re standing up to go
It isn’t right to push me aside, oh

You should’ve told me that you got
What you wanted
I should’ve said at the time
That I was worried
But where we left it
Oh we left our sorries
And you just pushed me aside

And I think neither do you
But after all of these years
How could I know you?
And I think neither do you
But after all of this time
How could I know you?

PIT PONY - SUPERMARKET

New single from Arre! Arre!. Taken from the new LP "We Ride the Universe" out April 8 2022 via PNKSLM Recordings. Listen/buy: https://pnkslm.com/arre-universe

"We Ride the Universe" is the third LP from Malmö's Arre! Arre!. Working again with long time collaborator Joakim Lindberg as producer, the band have maintained their core inspiration from the 90s Riot Grrrl scene, but also broadening their sound to include a wider range of influences - from post-punk and 60’s ballads, to James Brown, to the Spice Girls.

As usual, the album has a strong underlying theme throughout - this time of motorbikes and female biker gangs, with the band even going to the extreme of recording local bikers driving around the car park of the Studio Sickan to sample within the tracks. Combined with the other new production quirks such as ABBA-inspired choirs and galloping percussion, “We Ride The Universe” has turned into a markedly cohesive and unique album for the band, sure to impress fans both new and old.

A song about love and the lack of it.

Lyrics:

Here we are now I've gone on and forced it 
but I had a couple things 
I wanted to inform you of: 
yes, I really tried to get there that day and 
yes, I really meant everything that I did say. 
Oh yeah I tried, I tried to make you fine, 
but I was really lost and I was outta my mind. 
Oh won't you please ah please forgive me, 
cause I can't get you outta my dreams Leslie. 

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh baby yeah yeah yeah. 
Kid-i-kid-i-kid-Icarus 
I don't wanna be your lover 
I just wanna be your brother. 
Couldn't you believe I had nothing else to say 
when I say you there that day with your hips gone all asway? 

I was distracted by your skirt, 
like you would never know. 
And how I tried to make it work, 
but I was blinded though. 

Here we are now I've gone on and forced it 
but I had a couple things 
I wanted to inform you of: 
yes, I really tried to get there that day and 
yes, I really meant everything that I did say. 
Oh yeah I tried, I tried to make you fine, 
but I was really lost and I was outta my mind. 
Oh won't you please ah please forgive me, 
cause I can't get you outta my dreams Leslie. 

I was distracted by your skirt, 
like you would never know. 
And how I tried to make it work, 
but I was blinded though. 

Please don't stop that, 
hon I need that, 
find your sun rays and then shine back. 

Please don't stop your sunspots, sunspots. 

Oh won't you please ah please forgive me 
cause I can't get you outta my dreams Leslie.

i was robbed 
in the middle of the night 
i waited for you here
to say my goodbyes 

did they come 
did you see them there
did they tell you what to do
and where to go? 

could you teach me how to climb into my mind
and make it right?
i'll make the sacrifice 
into the skies

i'm running out of time
i'm running out of time

was it hard? 
does it make sense now? 
am i talking to myself
again today

i’m not scared 
you can show me how
i’ll being waiting for that hole 
to disappear 

could you teach me how to climb into my mind
and make it right?
could you teach me how to miss you 
before i 
i have to say goodbye
i'm running out of time
i'm running out of time
you're running out of time
we've run out, out of

Out Of

a track from our EP "tell the devil i can't be late" 
https://secretcaves.bandcamp.com/album/tell-the-devil-i-cant-be-late-ep

my pockets stained 
from bloody dollar bills
i should lay low
but then i can’t get my thrills
you know the lord 
loves a stickup man
this pistol’s 
feeling mighty fine in my hand

while stealing cars
outside the town of Slaughter
i lost my heart
to the hangman’s daughter
she held me close
while i whispered all my plans
she knows the lord
loves a stickup man
that’s what i am

baptized with the bullets
baptized in the ring of fire
baptized in the sewers
yeah you’ll be baptized get those
hands up high

i am a stickup man
oh the lord loves a stickup man
that’s what i am

we had to leave my partner
slim behind
while robbing banks down
on the county line
he said my friends
it’s time to make my stand
cuz the lord he loves a stickup man

my lady love is crying
out in the streets
my blood is spilling 
in the desert heat
as the sheriff’s shouting
show your hands
oh the lord 
loves a stickup man
that’s what i am

baptized with the bullets
baptized with a noose
baptized with tequila fire
and the fearful shame 
i cannot shake loose

i am a stickup man
o lord i am a stickup man
that’s what i am
