I was thinking about euphoria in pop music, that simple, single-minded ecstatic feeling you get from so many love songs. I found some vocal samples I liked and slowed them down and looped them, imagining each one as a kind of sculpture, gently rotating round and round in a neutral, dream-like space. Still euphoric, but frozen like TV static, repeating obsessively like prayer ritual.

1. I STILL FEEL
2. YOU'RE ALL I NEED
3. DON'T RUN FROM ALL THE THINGS YOU FEAR
4. THINKIN' ABOUT YOU, I'M THINKIN' ABOUT YOU
5. WE AIN'T GOT NO PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS, YEAH. I LET 'EM GO
6. TELL ME I'M YOURS
7. AH, JUST DON'T WALK AWAY
8. I DON'T WANNA LOVE YOU BUT I CAN'T SAY NO
9. I WANNA BE WITH YOU
10. YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULD NEVER, EVER FADE AWAY

Break-Up Mantras

Artwork, recorded, written, mixed and mastered by Duke Keats / Connor Blundell 

Banjos, slide, acoustic & electric guitar, vocal layers, synths, samples. 

This song is about always coming back for more even when you know you shouldn't. or should you ? 

Marigolds are on the fold


a watery cannon mist 


introverted apple core 


compare it to the alcohol 


you always really want to play 


And the angels are all that's owed 


Blue sky suit and waltz


For she gives another glass stained kiss 


She's riding on the edge of a wisp


The boots are over bed of ice 


Fingers touch the leopard print


Love letters in a basket hold


A lover lends in letraset 


It really makes me get involved 


You always really want to play yeah 


And the angels are all that's owed 


You didnt really want to stay yeah


But the angels are all that's owed
