Lyrics:

Close your eyes, open your heart
Where does it end, where does it start
You and I, You and I
We're never apart,

lets go back to the start...

Because the sky ain't always blue,
but there's nothing I won't do,
there's nothing, nothing, nothing.
Because the sky ain't always blue, yeah yeah yeah,
but there's nothing I won't do,
there's nothing, nothing, nothing.

Forever I will be, your brother
Forever I will be, your brother

Send me out in open space, no one here can see my face
Send me out in open space, no one here can catch me,
Send me out in open space, no one here can see my face
Send me out in open space, no one here can touch me now

I flew to you, across the state line
I always believed, that we'd have the time
to sail away (sail away)
move into the light,

its a sign of the times...

Because the sky ain't always blue,
but there's nothing I won't do,
there's nothing, nothing, nothing.
Because the sky ain't always blue, yeah yeah yeah,
but there's nothing I won't do,
there's nothing, nothing, nothing.

Forever I will be, your brother
Forever I will be, your brother

Send me out in open space, no one here can see my face
Send me out in open space, no one here can catch me,
Send me out in open space, no one here can see my face
Send me out in open space, no one here can touch me now

A Village: Natural Light

Christian Kjellvander – Midsummer (Red Dance)

Rainbrother is Bjarke Bendtsen’s (ex-The Migrant) new project with a group of musicians from the Copenhagen indie scene. The group released their first track earlier this summer, ‘East African Dream’, a tribal inspired track with chanting choir, a steady beat and slide guitar references to Pink Floyd.

The song is mixed by Noah Georgeson (Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, The Strokes) who has agreed to become midwife for Rainbrother’s first full length album.

Bendtsen ended The Migrant earlier this year in Austin, Texas at Austin’s Psych Fest, Levitation. Since the first Migrant album came out in 2010 he has been backed by musicans from Austin on his American tours and by fellow Danes when touring Europe.

The birth of Rainbrother marks an end of this era, settling down in Copenhagen and a move from indie folk to electric rock territory.

The electricity is present on the first Rainbrother live video for the song “Break Out”. The group will be releasing this song as a single later this autumn prior to the album release which will be out in February next year.

You can watch the live version of “Break Out” here: ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZwiyslCj6Q ​ and listen to “East African Dream” on ​https://soundcloud.com/rainbrother

Young & Thriving

'Celebrate Life' is the new single from Las Kellies taken from the new record 'Friends & Lovers' out now on Fire Records. They tour Europe from November.

Forming in Buenos Aires back in 2005, they debuted with ‘Shaking Dog!’ (2007) and concentrated on ensuring their prominence on their home turf first. They independently released second album ‘Kalimera’ (2009) that took inspiration from Devo and ESG – at this time the group ventured on their first international tour. Soon after they joined Fire Records releasing ‘Las Kellies’, a 7” split of ‘Erase You’ featuring both ESG and Las Kellies versions dropped with their last full length ‘Total Exposure’ following in 2013 and EP ‘Dubby Exposure’ (Crang/Rastrillo Records) a year later.

On ‘Friends & Lovers’ Las Kellies are Silvina Kelly and Cecilia Kelly. They will joined by their newest member and bassist, Manuela Ducatenzeiler, who tours with them across Europe in winter 2016.

She could have been your lover
But she was just your doll
She could have been your best friend
But she was just your dog

People like you can't take it
and so you build a wall 
You built a wall between us
One that will never fall

You could have been the one that they hold on to and remember
You have been the reason they stay warm and waste their time
You could have been that feeling you hold on to in December
Could have been a reason good enough to call you mine

She could have been your housemate
But she was a wall
She could have been your sister 
but you forgot to call yeah you forgot to call

Knife in, knife out
Got me feeling left out

Could have been someone

Call You Mine

From an upcoming split release with Any Colour You Like and PBS 73.

The Alchemist

Scottish indie pop duo Friends in America (Hamish Black & Matthew Rawlings) return on November 10th with "Scruffy"; a three minute emotional crescendo of seasonal contemplation.

The stark duality of Black's pulsing synth hooks and Rawlings' lyrical exploration of two separate Scottish tragedies culminates in a song that is in turns both danceable and delicate.

Taken from the bands forthcoming album 'Old Indifference', the single will be officially launched with a headline show at Broadcast, Glasgow on Thursday November 10th.

LYRICS:

A lamppost warped below the waist 
Triage of flowers and selotape 
Where windshield glass and license plates 
Veered away and jumped the curb into the crowd 

The phone explodes with panicked rings 
A dozen desperate messages 
Harsh unpredictability and winter glow 
Now is really not the time 

Wrapped up in Christmas lights 
Scruffed up and reeling blind 
Oh here I am, all camera shy 
Wrapped up in Christmas lights 

The scarlet hue of frozen cheeks 
Fresh damp seeps into everything 
A hum from these electric trees 
Underscores the absent thrall of where we are 

Commutes through ash and fresh debris 
Familiar yawns of disbelief 
That shudder through December streets 
Hands once held, all at once pulled apart 

Wrapped up in Christmas lights 
Scruffed up and reeling blind 
Here I am, all camera shy 
Wrapped up in Christmas lights

Scruffy

Lyrics:
Try to make you laugh,
try to make it better
It's a fact of life,
no one lasts forever

And you know I try to be the man but I don't always get it right
And I know you think I don't understand, well you know you might be right

Try to make you laugh,
didn't wanna hurt you
I know you don't believe
that I will not desert you, 

but I won't, how I live
you see that we, need to give

Seen it all in black and white I push you forward to the light

And you know I try to be the man
And I know you think I don't understand

Try to make to make laugh, try to make you laugh
Try to make to make laugh, try to make you laugh

So Sorry (from Shockwaves)
