‘The Broken Places’ starts off with a vocoder loop. See, when I’m making an album, I’ll tend to write about 300 songs and narrow it down to the 15 songs that are on the album, which isn’t to say that the songs that don’t make it onto the record aren’t any good. It’s not like 300 amazing songs and I have to get rid of 285 amazing songs. Some of them aren’t very good. 

This song ‘The Broken Places’ was a weird instrumental that I’d written that I liked and thus assumed no one else would like it. And I played it to a few friends and they were like “Ah actually that’s interesting”. The more I lived with it the more I liked it. And what I love, it’s quiet repetitive and almost every element in there is broken, which I guess in keeping with the title but it’s an old Korg vocoder that barely works. I forget what drum machine I used but one of those, I think it might have been a home made, there is this company from Ohio called Paia and I got a home made kit drum machine that someone built in the 70’s. Again, it just barely, barely works. 

So I felt like this was a broken down, sort of winsome, endearing, electronic piece of music. I needed to come with a title for it. That’s the tricky thing with instrumentals is what you call them. And this one, there is a Ernest Hemingway quote, which I think I’m paraphrasing but basically says, life breaks most of us and some of us are stronger at the broken places, and I’ve always loved that quote, which I’m paraphrasing. And so I liked that as an introductory album title for the album because it does sort of emotionally set the tone for the rest of the record. 

The one regret I have about that first song is the original version is about 8 minutes long and just keeps repeating for 8 minutes. And I was kind of a sissy and I thought that having an 8 minutes repetitive introductory song in an album was just a little too much to expect anyone to get through. So I was a sissy and I edited it down to 3.5 minutes. If anyone wants the full 8 minutes version I am happy to send it to them.

Here Tonight Lyrics:

honey moon glow cry
come back outside
as i come into
when you come out, too

cover skin, hair grows
crush girl, the smell of smoke
the different ways to blow
i'll say that's how i know

if you were here tonight

dizzy some dream
be sweet to me
when i see you
swallow the swoon

kiss kiss, look below
crush girls shallow so
the different ways to blow
i'll say that i don't know

if you were here tonight

note from tennyson: "hi hi hi! this a song about missing her, cold beaches, kittens, running hugs, calculus and fruit salad."

note from ryan: "this is the ideal way to start off Secret Songs. for a few reasons: Tennyson is a kid from Edmonton, Alberta where nothing like this type of music happens; I couldn't tell you which genre he falls under; and the damn song is called 'You're Cute'. i hope everyone falls in love with this kid like i have. download, listen to it while you're taking a bath, and share with all your friends."

Shabazz Palaces - #CAKE

note from druid cloak: "The Battlecry was born out of a desire to express the need for tension. I think its important in life and in music to create healthy tensions that keep you on your toes and put you in unexpected scenarios. More often than not those experiences allow you to create something special."

note from ryan: "druid is someone really in his own lane, i believe. there's a lot of maturity in his sound and the way his songs develop - but they're also just fun as hell to play at a show. his output is grand, in scale and conceptually. i think he said he's sitting on a number of alter-ego projects ready to be released. i've been loving 'the battlecry', it's a banger that creeps up on you patiently, and doesn't let go once it's got a hold of you."

shh005: Druid Cloak - The Battlecry

*Extract from September, by Woody Allen*

Will I drown beneath the ground
For bearin' the crown my Crystals found
I thought it'd give me peace at last
A poetic way to kill my past
But the patterns, they reappeared so fast
I had no time to foresee the blast
Or cast off my dependency
Get rid of my humanity

Seems like the Journey
Failed to release me
The Blue, the Wild I could see
Faded at Their mercy

So now I'm back to nothingness
A fruitless dose of happiness
Yet I'm conscious of that hidden wilderness
Of all those movements, systematically oppressed

World, did I know you? Did I need you? Or did I not?
Life, did I trust you? Did I want you? Or did I not?

Looks like I  can't remember my mind in chains
Past hopes, tied ropes, all gone down the drain
Could it be some faculty to oversee my sanity
A conscious denial, my old self's burial

The visions I see are tiring me
Patterns are ubiquitous, they're papering our minds

‘Metamorphoses’ was Jarre’s first vocal album, and the entire album was mixed on an early version of Pro Tools. Laurie Anderson, Natacha Atlas, and Sharon Corr provided vocals.

The album is probably Jarre’s most club-friendly work, and it was co-produced by French house producer Joachim Garraud.

Moby on 'A Case For Shame':

“I had this idea to make a video for ‘A Case For Shame’ which actually ended up informing the entire visual scheme of Innocents. In the video, someone dies – maybe they killed themselves out of a sense of shame – and they enter this other world, populated by these ghost creatures wearing masks. They look scary, but they’re actually covering their face because they’re ashamed. When you see someone wearing a scary mask, the first thought is, “What’s going on? That’s intimidating.” But they’re actually hiding – it’s the most blatant act of concealing oneself. ‘A Case For Shame” is one of two songs I collaborated on with Cold Specks. She’s quite shy, and preferred to be left alone in the studio, so I’d hit ‘record,’ go have some tea, then come back in and press ‘stop.’”
