I’m inspired by a lot of lofi/slacker type music along with Talking Heads and hip-hop and I guess that comes out here. The song is built around a lofi groove with a hint of G-funk in its DNA, along with perhaps the laziest guitar solo in rock and roll history. 

This track is a fruition of the last few moon’s labour of love. One means of expression I’ve sporadically been pruning and pondering and pruning and pouring a lot of love and frustration into. So, please, soak up the grooves and I hope you enjoy.

With her unique ethereal and otherworldly style, artist and producer Emily Magpie delves deep into vulnerability as a form of power in her upcoming album ‘There Are Other Forms of Strength’, set for release April 19th 2024 with Def Pressé.

Emily Magpie is an artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Bristol creating dream pop delving into different dimensions. Her recent EP 'She' on Def Pressé has been championed by Deb Grant, Tom Ravenscroft, Nabihah Iqbal and Emily Pilbeam on BBC 6 Music.

Set for release in 2024 with Def Pressé, her lyrics take us on a journey of self-reflection into the subconscious in which she lays out her flaws and fears in a way which feels simultaneously dream-like and razor sharp. Her production mirrors this vulnerability in its raw, textured electronic and organic sounds which shape shift into a myriad of unique atmospheric alt-pop landscapes. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Anna Wise, Sylvan Esso and Anna B Savage as well as philosophy, literature and nature Magpie takes the listener on a journey that is both otherworldly and relatable.

Of the album Emily says, "There are archetypes akin to yin and yang in so many cultures- the feminine and masculine. I felt I'd been focused on the masculine, doing doing doing. I committed to spending more time in that internal, feminine, dreaming space which felt like a radical act for myself and within our society. There's so much I never valued or took the time to process within myself. I found this quiet, vulnerable strength. I wrote this album in the midst of that journey and as a kind of magic spell to lead me along that path."

“Beautiful, I feel like I’m underwater when I listen to this. Amazing artist”- Nabihah Iqbal, BBC 6 Music

Spending the last few years playing support for artists such as This Is The Kit and Let’s Eat Grandma, and everywhere from Green Man Festival and Boomtown Festival in the UK she returned in 2021 with a dynamic + exciting full band experience which have been playing sold out headline shows since, including Sebright Arms as well as Dot to Dot Festival and FOCUS Wales where the band were picked out as one of God is in the TV's festival highlights. Press highlights include The Line of Best Fit, Earmilk and Mahogany. 

Bastien Keb recently remixed a song from Emily’s ‘She’ EP, Down in the Deep, and it was release at the end of 2023. Emily will be supporting Bastien Keb at the Moth Club (30th March) and playing at The Great Escape 2024.  She will also be supporting Dizraeli on their UK tour throughout April and May.

This song was written after feeling scared about the future, lack of money, getting older, my parents getting older & feeling lonely in a new country. I didn't want to be aware of bad things anymore, about climate change and wars, paying bills,  dying, etc. I wanted to feel like a little kid again, finding joy in everything, not knowing what the real world was like.

Fire

Taken from the forthcoming new album from India Electric Co. 
Released 5th April 2024.
Cole Stacey & Joseph O'Keefe.
After four years in the making India Electric Company present their third album Pomegranate.
From the grips of an underworld without concerts and shared experience comes to the surface an album built in the heart of the West Country describing a life very much in motion whilst in the grips of standing still.
It weaves through their musical heritage combining their traditional folk roots, their dalliance with electronic analogue synths along with rhythms cultivated in lands further afield and an unadulterated love of pop.

Pomegranate

India Electric Co. - Pomegranate - 06 - Balancing Act

But it’s the first singular thing you notice, 
Knee length socks so with lederhosen,
Fueling the flames of her desire…

Golden days, at a cottage in the Cote D’Azure
Sleeping in late,
Waking to the sweet smelling Galouises haze

Breakfast in bed, offers her a glass of German wine
I’m sorry my dear, it’s a little early for me,
Apologies I’m rocking on Bavarian time 

In the evening, she taught him to dance, 
Do the Charleston, a funny little turn for funny romance
Tired out they traipse back to bed, cliff top nightcap, watching the sun go down overhead (watching the sun go down)
	
Five nights
Becomes five days
But on the sixth, she wants to go

But the Fraulein
With her lovely little frown lines
Oh Mein Fraulein, don’t go!

But it’s the secondary thing you realise
Unkempt hair with roving bug eyes
Fueling the flames of his desire 
		
Five nights
Becomes five days
But on the sixth, she wants to go

But the Fraulein
With her lovely little frown lines
Oh Mein Fraulein, don’t go!

But it’s the most peculiar thing you notice
Sleazy smile and dubious motives
Finding it hard to say (I really wanna)
Taking the time to explain (That I really wanna)
That you are my only love and life

But I’m tired of feeling like nobody loves me!
Tired of letting my loving hang out!
Tired of taking another one down and out
(Down)
And Out
