Tobi's Fresh Net Favs 2021

like a baby's held.in classy arms

A slow-burning blend of Contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul, and Retro Soul, In the Hush Between lingers like a quiet conversation after midnight. Warm Rhodes chords, deep bass, and restrained percussion set the stage for a female vocal that moves between intimacy and mystery. It’s the sound of moments that live between words — where truth is felt more than spoken — drawing the listener into a space that’s both tender and unresolved.

[LYRICS]

Light through the smoke
Slow on my skin
Breath finds the cracks
Where the night comes in

I could move
But I stay in place
Something in your eyes
I can’t erase

You’re the shadow in my still frame
Heat that hides inside the rain
Every line you cross, I keep
Some truths are better when they’re deep

Glass on the floor
No sound, no break
Your hands don’t ask
They just know what to take

I could speak
But the words would burn
Some doors close
But they still return

You’re the shadow in my still frame
Heat that hides inside the rain
Every line you cross, I keep
Some truths are better when they’re deep

bars] Every motion’s slow…
bars] Every breath’s a choice…
In the silence,
I still hear your voice

You’re the shadow in my still frame
Heat that hides inside the rain
Every line you cross, I keep
Some truths are better when they’re deep

Some truths…
Are better when they’re deep

In the Hush Between – A Slow-Burn Contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul & Retro Soul Reflection

Lyrics

I fall back into my teens
Whenever I get close but

You don’t feel like home
To me anymore
You don’t feel like home
But you did once and if time stood still

I’d wait for hours for a glimpse of those child like chills
But all the things i’ve said move further from my mouth

You don’t feel like home
To me anymore
You don’t feel like home
When I fall backwards

You’re no more than births and funerals
You’re no more than all I’ve been
Where there once was grudge there’s now peace and a sense of end
I’ll mourn your gradual death but cherish every breath

You don’t feel like home
To me anymore
You don’t feel like home
When I fall backwards
You don’t feel like home
To me any more
You don’t feel like home
But you did once

You Don't Feel Like Home

"Belfast Bobsled duo create a laid-back hazy jangle pop atmosphere on their latest single ‘Drive’."

"Irish duo bobsled team have swooned their way into our hearts with their latest offering, “Drive.” It’s a humble, but hooky dream-pop song, lush with jangly guitars and ethereal vocals. These two seem to thrive in this bedroom niche, but have a real knack for rhythm and melody. “Drive” evolves into a catchy chant while never losing it’s in-the-aether vibe that makes it sincere and heartfelt in the first place. We think you’ll love this one too – check it out below or add it to your Spotify playlist."

"Channelling some dreamy goodness of acts of the 90s with some soothing atmospheric production that perfectly compliment their dream-inducing vocal work and arrangements. The track is a bit of an ear-worm that slowly but surely showcases a hint of art-pop appeal, the sort of song that will help lift your spirits a bit during this pretty tough time. There’s a genuine heartfelt emotional element to “drive” that casts its spell on you and never lets go, and before you know it you’re hitting the replay button and let the music do the rest."
We All Want Someone To Shout For

"The band only released their debut single, This Pink Moon, back in July, yet have already caught the ear of BBC Introducing as well as a smattering of the best small blogs around... The track sits neatly alongside This Pink Moon’s indie-pop influenced sounds, and previous single You’re So Cool, which dialled up the slacker-rock tones to create a slice of fuzz-pop perfection. What impresses most about Bobsled Team is the way they dip their toes into a vast array of styles while still maintaining their own unique sound; even right at the beginning of their musical journey, they’re a band more than worthy of your time.."

Look what happened when Rope Store got back in the studio in 2020.

Because 2020's been a very 'different' year, this is a very different Rope Store!

Written, played & sung by Jason & Gemma.

Recorded, mixed & mastered at The Crunch, UK.

Two brothers versus the machines. Clusters of Eyes debuted at Smugglers Festival 2018 and have since been inhabiting coastal Kent’s subterranean network of tunnels, honing their set of gritty electronica and robot-rock.

This latest track features guest vocals from Troy of punk/hardcore band The Long Knives.

Imagery of a dystopian post-Covid, post-Brexit landscape is set to an irrepressible groove - inspired in equal parts by The Fall’s ‘Blindness’ and Death In Vegas’ ‘Aisha’.
