Ignore the pollution .

Cool morning 
Take me away,  I’m tired of today
Smooth driver
Get outta town , Turn me around 

I’m cracking up while I’m  just cracking jokes 
My minds made up there’s nowhere else to go
ignore the pollution 

I feel lighter 
But Only in dreams , I don’t care what it means 
Heavy hunger 
I can’t really choose , I guess I’m old news 

I’m cracking up while I’m  just cracking jokes 
My minds made up there’s nowhere else to go
I’m cracking up while I’m  just cracking jokes 
My minds made up my minds a cloud of smoke  
ignore the pollution 

Ooooh

The shadows in time challenge my/kind(ness)

Ignore the pollution

Gimme Gimme - Day Drinking (Lyrics)

Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 Night scheming that my dreams will come true
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 
 Am I hooked on wishful thinking
 Did you wink or were you blinking
 Champagne glasses almost chinking
 Got a bike we could be could be dinking
 
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 Night scheming that my dreams will come true
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 
 Package up my heart
 And throw around the parts
 Cos you don't have to handle with care
 How do I keep myself in check
 When I'm training like a wreck
 Come join me for some truth if you dare
 You've blown away my mind
 Just like a dandelion
 I'm scattered by the wind of desire
 How do I keep myself together
 When I'm floating like a feather
 And I never ever thought I could fly
 
 Are you keen or are you tricking
 Cos my love's ripe for the picking
 Time goes slowly heartbeat ticking
 Now I'm stuck cos you're not sticking
 
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 Night scheming that my dreams will come true
 Day drinking and I'm thinking of you
 
 Package up my heart
 and throw around the parts
 cos you don't have to handle with care
 How do I keep myself in check
 when I'm training like a wreck
 Come join me for some truth if you dare
 You've blown away my mind
 Just like a dandelion
 I'm scattered by the wind of desire
 How do I keep myself together
 When I'm floating like a feather
 And I never ever thought I could fly

Day Drinking

After delighting so many with his impressive ‘Good Dog’ EP in September last year, which went onto find support from Jack Saunders (BBC Radio 1) and Zane Lowe (Apple Music 1), as well as being curated on Spotify playlists like ‘Fresh Finds’, ‘Melomania’ and ‘Garden Indie’, fast-rising artist Trunky Juno returns to deliver his first piece of new material for 2022, the vibrant new single ‘Oxford English Dictionary’.

Continuing his venture through the rich and woozy realm of the psych-pop sound, ‘Oxford English Dictionary’ offers up yet another wonderfully infectious delight from the Newcastle native. Brimming with fresh and sun-kissed textures, a sweeping atmosphere, and his own captivating vocals at the helm, he is kicking off the next phase of his career with one of his most loveable offerings to date.

Speaking about the new offering, he said, “I still find it difficult to spell Mississippi, but I did manage to write a fun song. It's a hooky Alt-Pop that will confidently power walk you straight back to the Trunky Superstore for more Trunky. Oxford English Dictionary was one of those tracks that sounded great as soon as I made the demo, lot's of those parts made it into the final version because they're so full of that sense of initial inspiration.”

Behind a well-established moustache and deadpan inclinations, North Eastern indie maverick Trunky Juno resides within his own sphere of off-kilter artistry. Known for his masterful lyricism, warped sounds and bold ideations, the Durham native brings a spritely disposition to the alternative music scene, twisting the mundane into something entertaining. Now backed by a diverse and relatable repertoire, the zany universe of Trunky Juno is beginning its glorious expansion. 

The original dream was to be a Backstreet Boy, a far cry from his current musical positioning. However, in some metaphysical way, we can all agree that Trunky Juno is their sixth unofficial member. Truly a musician who’s done it all, he is a name well-known to his locale having cut his teeth in many a jazz, punk and indie bands. Elsewhere inspired by the 90s slacker rock of Weezer and Beck, as well as the psychedelic tendencies of The Flaming Lips and quirky offerings of Mac Demarco, Trunky Juno finds no better way to spend his time than spinning idiosyncratic tales of our society and the pop culture that engulfs it, covering every corner of our sonic landscape. 

Outside of his attributions to the alternative music scene, Trunky Juno is an avid admirer of all forms of creativity, oft finding beauty in the abstract, be it his deep-rooted love for professional wrestling, 80s horror films or sculpting plasticine expressions onto hard-boiled eggs. He says, “I always wonder what it would be like to hear music without knowing anything about music, and that’s what I like about other art forms. I like that I know nothing about them and I can just appreciate them in a more abstract way without thinking about the gritty details.”

Trunky Juno’s new single ‘Oxford English Dictionary’ will be available to stream from the 29th June 2022 via Silent Kid Records.

Something in the darkness dwells
Like voices from your insides squall
Buried deep in shame, and regression
God’s rejected ones
Shade beneath my cast of faith
Tremored ground attest my strength

I know the plan for God’s rejected ones

Ash in hearth, I seek your shelter
Storming, rushing, bounding, assailing me
Entering my spine and crawling out my palms
The spirit is now ascending me
Commanding motion
Don’t fight, infernal eyes don't lie

Faith is learned or not realized

Something in the darkness dwells
Like poison on your lips, the sickness swells
The devil never comes if you don’t believe him
The curse relinquished
Scepter come, incarcerate
Where I'm captive, I am safe

I know the plan for God’s rejected ones

Ash in hearth, I seek your shelter
Storming, rushing, bounding, assailing me
Entering my spine and crawling out my palms
The spirit is now ascending me
Urging devotion
Don’t fight, infernal eyes don't lie

And nothing ever comes if you won’t believe it

Beauty In Sadness

“a cacophony of clattering drums and belt-it-out choruses Los Campesinos! or Martha would be proud of evidence that Adults seem to have stumbled into something rather marvellous” 
For The Rabbits

“There’s an ample buoyancy from the vocal work, and the guitars are crunchy, though I like how they’re a bit tempered here; think of Martha having to play at your local library…hooks, but just a little more subdued. There’s just something about this song that radiates joy” Austin Town Hall

South London DIY punk outfit adults today release the final single single “tfl has a lot to answer for” form their forthcoming debut album “for everything, always”, coming out on October 14th on Fika Recordings.

The new single things we achieve is “a reflection of drinking way too much in yr mid 20s, staying up too late, burning yrself out and how it impacts on yr relationships and mental health” it’s two and a half minutes of delightfully scrappy, catchy DIY pop that’s sure to appeal to fans of Los Campesinos, Martha and Johnny Foreigner.

adults are a noisy pop band desperately clinging on to the ghosts of 2009. 
Their songs are a silly, joyful, and occasionally sad, look back at the tail end of their 20s, a way to grapple with breakups, parties, alcohol and loneliness, and looking hopefully into the future.
They’ve released singles with Art Is Hard and For The Sakes Of Tapes, and self released an EP (The Weekend Was Always Almost Over), which was subsequently released on vinyl by Caballito records. They’re based in south London.

adults are
carl (he/they) - bass
joe (he/him) - drums
joely (she/they) - guitar and singing
tom (he/him) - guitar, synth, singing

Lyrics:

A picture of Madonna gazing down at her little boy
Even when I was sixteen I knew it was the only thing that would bring me joy
Now the world is hurtling towards some fiery end
I couldn't bear to see my little girl cry so I bury it in a haze of cigarettes

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

Two step beat and I'm fine again
Know how to trick my mind with a little foresight
Heart only breaks every now and then
I know I'll be alright if I dance until I die
It's sustainable in a city like Berlin
Where everyone pretends they're 25
(and the nights keep us alive)
Two steps back I die again
Her face creeps back behind my eyes

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

I say I couldn't give up the freedom
I say I want to dance until I die
I say I couldn't give up the freedom
But two steps back I die again
Her face behind my eyes again

Fire
I’m on fire
And after all this time
I’m still bad
At making up my mind
Are we mad
Or are we out of luck (Feels like I just dreamt you up)

Oh can you lift me up
I’ve been losing touch
With the stars too long

I’m still sad
I feel I’ll be a while
That’s ok
I’ll wait another life
Just to dance
With you another time (Feels like I just dreamt you up)

Oh can you lift me up
I’ve been losing touch
With the stars too long

It feels like I just dreamt you up
It seems like I just dream a lot
It feels like I just dreamt you up
It seems like you don’t dream enough

I'm Still Sad

Dream + Lie

Winlaton (win-lay-ton) is the third single released by the Ilfords since their 2022 rebirth.

Our David on Winlaton: 'Winlaton was written during deep lockdown. Nothing was open and late night running was the only space I had to myself. I suppose it reflects on what methods you can try to use when you feel lost. On one late night trek however, I realised I wasn’t just lost mentally at that time but geographically as I’d managed to run all the way to Winlaton.'
