lyrics: 
im so bored with this information 
what an illegitimate accusation

WAKE UP, YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSIN 
WHOLE WORLDS TURNING AND YOU'RE KISSING YOURSELFFF

I KNOW FOR A FACT
YOU GOT ME ON YOUR RECOMPENCE
IM HUNGRY
FOR SOME SKIN AND FLESH
IM DIRTY FOR YOU MY FRIEND 
CLAIM ME AS YOUR ONE TRUE PRICE
AND I HOPE YOU REALIZE 
THAT IM THE GUY
IM THE GUY
IM YOUR GUYYY

IM SO DAMN EMOTIONAL THESE DAYS
RIP OUT YOUR LUNGS AND REPLACE THEM WITH FAME
PUNCH IN THE WALL I CAN FEEL THE PAIN
EVERYTIME WE KISS YOU PIERCE ME WITH FANGS

I KNOW FOR A FACT
YOU GOT ME ON YOUR RECOMPENCE
IM HUNGRY
FOR SOME SKIN AND FLESH
IM DIRTY FOR YOU MY FRIEND 
CLAIM ME AS YOUR ONE TRUE PRICE
AND I HOPE YOU REALIZE 
THAT IM THE GUY
IM THE GUY
IM YOUR GUYYY


all yours

MAYA – SYNTHEZOID HEARTBREAK / DISTANT VISIONS
Touch Sensitive Records | TSR005

A late night voicemail from Cherrystones: “Phone me! I’ve got something killer! It might not make sense at first but it’ll suck you in...”
After hearing the outsider psych of ‘Distant Visions’ we are suitably hooked and the wheels are in motion to reissue the music of Maya from 1975.

It’s at this point we realise we ain’t even heard the A-side yet! Turns out it’s the heaviest heartbreak jam going…

Following on from 2015’s acclaimed Critical Mass compilation, Cherrystones and Touch Sensitive come together again to proudly present a lost masterpiece from the U.S. hard rock and psychedelic underground.

Fully remastered and faithfully reproduced on limited 7inch vinyl with additional insert featuring lyrics and notes from Burk Skyhorse Price (Maya) and Cherrystones.

Two tracks of timeless, heartfelt outsider music.

“In the drying up world of unknown homemade underground rock sounds, there never fails to be at least one scurrying rodent running for cover; bug-eyed under the flashlight of the modern-day sonic adventure seeker. Nearly all the LPs have been brought to the surface. More recently rabid fuzz and loner sound explorers are rubbing elbows with Northern Soul speed-freaks in the deep cold, hour-eating world of coverless 45s to seek out what could be seen as the final frontier of no budget, big dream and no fan base homemade local vulnerable Rock ’n’ Roll.

So what do we have here? A UK discovered and repressed Ohio private nuclear soul bomb by Burk Skyhorse Price with his Maya unit from the shadows of Cincinnati Ohio, in the music-world turmoil years of 1975.

The single has all the ingredients: songs about heartache, bubbling synths, alien feelings, proto-punk, backwards feedback, isolation.

Two lengthy songs of two different moods: “SYNTHEZOID HEARTBREAK” a "Fuck You!” to all partners that want you to join the Real Estate game and turn in your misfired Envelope pedals for a suit and tie; rendered musically in a raging underground punk damage mode.

But I think the small band of freaks that have heard Maya’s lone 45 agree that its the pro-Alien sad dirge of “DISTANT VISIONS" that gets the pen scratching the history books for another legendary entry. This reflective afternoon delay lurker makes me wonder what happened AFTER the fade out to "Visions”. 
Maybe the homemade air siren blew out the studio?
Regardless, here is a big dreaming band that left quite a brief one-two punch to the face of the industry that had no place for their punk and lonely sound poems. Funny but fitting how they have finally found a home forty years later and many continents away. Solid homemade damage here, touching AND sensitive, albeit crushingly loud.”

John Olson (Wolf Eyes / American Tapes / Third Man Records) Michigan, 2016.

Sisters & Brothers is a new series of releases under hfn music, curated by Kasper Bjørke and Sexy Lazer. 

The second volume in the series sees the turn of Russian Girls - the brainchild of Guðlaugur Halldór Einarsson, a member of the alternative Icelandic band Fufanu who just released their second album ‘Sports’ and of the duo Captain Fufanu before that.

As russian.girls, Einarsson explores a range of sounds,fitting perfectly into the the Sisters & Brothers ethos.

‘Are We Here Yet’ is a darkly comic and wonky electro pop song full of angular sounds and thick synth riffs.

‘Þeir & Þær’ is another atmospheric oddity, channeling new wave and industrial sounds from the early 80s.

Amfetamíngangsterar’ starts with a stripped down motorik beat and devleops into an echo drenched groover with off-kilter melodies and urgent, nervous stabs.

‘Autopilot’ continues the outsider pop vibe, featuring a loose, detuned groove and spiky guitars around a killer vocal.

What’s clear is that the Sisters & Brothers series is going to provide endless surprises and treasures for the adventurous listener.

Tracklist :
01. Are We Here Yet
02. Þeir & Þær
03. Amfetamíngangsterar

The Green Child is the long distance musical collaboration of Mikey Young and Raven Mahon, who met in 2013 when their bands, Total Control and Grass Widow played a show in Oakland, California. They started writing songs together in Australia in 2014 and the project has been on a slow burn since. Their self-titled debut album is the culmination of few years of putting ideas together internationally and periodically recording in Mikey's home studio. Some of the lyrical content and the band's name was inspired by Herbert Read's 1935 utopian, communist, sci-fi novel called The Green Child.

With such a choice name, it’s no surprise that The Green Child draw their sound from an illusory past as much as they stalk into pastures new. Broadly retro-futuristic in scope, verdant acres of lushly evocative synthesizers and blippy drum machines underpin most of their upbeat yet decidedly uncanny songs. Raven’s calmly scenic and measured vocal flits like a will-o’-the-wisp throughout the tracks, proffering a guiding hand as she walks us through the often eerie, electronic concoctions.

‘Traveler’ opens the album all redolent, beat-minded and labyrinthine. Twisting melody lines swirl and envelop like a sandstorm, whilst Raven coolly projects on a “solitary man” lost to “green oblivion”. Similarly, ‘Her Majesty II’ glistens with its playful yet plaintive vocal and iridescent arpeggios, whilst ‘Bertha’ slows things down with tumbling chimes and stately use of space.

The Green Child are adept at atmosphere, their songs are refined from gently unfolding ideas that never fail to realise and build to their potential. Tracks like ‘Walking Distance’ (featuring Al Montfort on saxophone) and ‘New Years Eve’ are exercises in evolved composition with ideas budding off and blossoming into truly resonant dimensions. The band’s cover of ‘Marie Elene’ (by Keith Pearson) and closing track ‘Destroyer’ are further crowning achievements, both pieces subtly handled with poise and ample melancholic grandeur. The Green Child fix their sights on the heights they want to reach within their songs and much like the project itself don’t want to rush to the finish line. When it becomes more about the unfurling journey, why not take the time to enjoy the trip and burn slower?

‘The Green Child’ is due for release on January 12th through Upset The Rhythm on 180g black vinyl, accompanied by some spirited sleeve design by James Vinciguerra.
