Miracle

before you let go

After releasing their debut single ‘She Changes The
Weather’ which garnered plays on BBC radio
London numerous times from Jess Izsatt and Radio
X by John Kennedy; Burning Juniper are following
up the strong debut with their second single ‘What’s
The Point’ also recorded with producer Josh Tyrrell
(Lana Del Rey, Mark Ronson, Tony Visconti). It’s a fast
paced anthem that shows another side to the bands
sound. 'What’s The Point' is a favourite for Burning
Juniper to play due to the sheer pace and energy of
the song. It’s an indie anthem filled with angst as
the protagonist of the song asks the question
what’s the point of relationships if they end up in
pain and regret.

Sleep on it

Dream + Lie

Sydney indie rock three-piece Crystal Cities are back, this time with the title track and second single from their forthcoming 3rd LP, I Should Have Known That This Was War. The song reveals a more experimental approach to the band’s songwriting this time around, both in terms of instrumentation and arrangement. Geoff Rana’s first lyrics echo this sentiment of change also, “Hold my cigarette, yeah, I think I need a break from the same old song and dance”.

The synth pads underlying the track create a spacey, cosmic bed which instantly take the listener somewhere they’ve never been whilst listening to a Crystal Cities track. Rana delivers the verse vocals with swagger before the song opens up into a spacious and uplifting chorus. The track then takes a Bowie-esque turn, relaxing into an almost free-time bridge where a haunting theremin-sounding synth provides most of the harmonic support. 

"It is a song about the polarising experience of life; when the universe and all the things that encompass it seem to coalesce in such a way that life appears to be your ally, but then quickly turns and appears to become your enemy; when life seems to gracefully surrender to your will, but then in an instant throws everything it has at you. It’s about the unexpected wins and losses that life can deliver at any given moment. The song takes some unexpected twists and turns to reflect this sentiment."
⁣- Geoff Rana (vocals/guitar/keys)

Lead vocalist and guitarist/keyboardist Geoff Rana has been spending days on end in his self-made studio where he’s been writing, producing and engineering the band’s latest material.

While the band’s previous effort - their sophomore album Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight - was an exercise in hard-hitting alternative rock that could rattle a live audience, the band’s third LP, I Should Have Known That This Was War, feels more explorative and colourful (at least from the two singles released from the band thus far, the first being “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore”). 

This new single happens to be the last Crystal Cities song previous drummer Daniel Conte performs on, with new drummer Neel Shukla taking over the drumming duties for the remainder of the tracks on the upcoming album.

Long-time Crystal Cities collaborator Paul Lani (David Bowie, Prince) was once again tapped to handle mixing and mastering duties for the recording.

SInce the band’s formation in 2016 they have released a highly praised EP - Who’s Gonna Save Us Now (2017) - and two critically acclaimed albums - Under The Cold Light of the Moon (2019) and Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight (2021). There is no scheduled release date for the band’s forthcoming third album. 

The band consists of Geoff Rana (lead vocals, guitar, keys), Jared King (Bass, backing vocals), and newest member, Neel Shukla (Drums).

A modern take on 60s romantic pop, Why Didn’t You Call? tells the familiar experience of being left hanging by the person you like, but still waiting by the phone for their call. “I've realised that I deserve a love better than that, and I hope anyone who listens realises that too” says Kim.

Why Didn't You Call?

New song! This song reminds me of the struggle between wanting something so badly and feeling helpless and afraid that comes with being in love. Maybe you can relate? Either way, thanks for listening!

Verse 1
Oh, I’ve been looking for the last piece of your puzzle
Maybe then, I could set the little things on fire
You know don’t know it, but I´m tired of running in circles
tired of spending time in the spaces between us

Bridge
Oh, you light up the room
even in the darkness 
you’re like a flower in bloom
Oh, you light up my heart
So, I gotta tell you

Chorus
You don’t know it
but I think about you day and night
Oh you, don’t know it
But I can’t get you out of my mind
Oh, It´s breaking, oh it’s shaking, oh it’s tearing me up from the inside out.
Oh, from the inside out
Wish I´d never met you in the first place

Verse 2
Why don’t you slowly collapse into me
maybe then I can figure it out, how to reach you these days
You don’t know it but the sky glows different when you’re here
Oh, I´m tired of spending time in the spaces between us

Bridge
I just want to tell her that I love her
(So why don’t you go ahead and tell her?)
Cause I’m afraid, that I will just mess it up
Oh no, you got to tell her.

Chorus
You don’t know it
but I think about you day and night
Oh you, don’t know it
But I can’t get you out of my mind
Oh, It´s breaking, oh it’s shaking, oh it’s tearing me up from the inside out.
Oh, from the inside out
Wish I´d never met you in the first place
