Flowerpot Men "Beat City " promo single from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. John Hughes never released the soundtrack for purchase because he didn't think anyone would actually want it. He did, however, create a few hundred of these 45's and gave them out at promotional screenings. This is the song that plays as Ferris, Sloan and Cameron are driving the Ferrari around Chicago's loop. Taken from the original promo 45, Enjoy!

The Flowerpot Men - Beat City (From Ferris Bueller's Day Off)

Recorded using a Presonus Audiobox. All instruments recorded directly into Audacity and then mixed in GarageBand

The heart, knows nothing like the cold
Children, they’re sitting getting old
They don't see the wind, carry them away
They’re lost, just like eroded earth
Traffic slowly getting home
Dinner's served you're not alone
Conversation's trite
With each and every bite
Take for granted that you have it
Don’t even care at all
It’s just another night in the suburbs
Ma and Pa made a cozy home
Scenes of life, slipping sights
from a train seat window
going by, horizon
engulfed by night

And you don't know how it's come to this now
Middleasia comes in phases
And you don't know how it's come to this now
Middleasia
Suddenly aged endowed

Black Twig return with their third long player Blaze On A Plain, released via Soliti In April 2016.

To wet your appetite for such exciting news, the band share the first single from the album, 1998. Possibly the band's most melodic cut of music yet, 1998 share's an affinity with the best music made with guitars, drums and bass. Yes, as the song intones, 'it's somehow cathartic' . Oh yeah, and did we mention uplifting?

A video accompanies 1998, with Black Twig commenting "It's not about nostalgia, it's more like a visual memory. It is what it is. Shot on digital8 with our friends in Helsinki. We love you!"

American Fool

So I posted a video of me playing this song last Saturday and the response has been amazing, 12k views and counting, which is insane. Anyway, for the people who wanted to have it as an audio file (and people who didn't) here's a rough mix/master of the song and if you want to watch the video here are the links:

Here's the original video's description:
A reverb drenched, tipy-tapy, live-loopy song for summer, probably the most upbeat thing I've made in a very long time. Very much influenced by bands like And So I Watch You From Afar and From Monument To Masses 
Thanks

Chosen exclusively by Toyota as their number one song to promote their "Flip The Script" campaign,  this August sees Matthew Heyer returning to his ascending Heyer Music imprint with his brand new summer crossover single titled “Better Love”.  Following three huge singles under his belt already, Matthew recruits the vocal talents of UK singer/songwriter River - best known for her worldwide Spotify hit “Fast Car” collaboration with Tobtok, aswell as teaming up with his good friends and relative newcomer Bekant.  The producer, who's garnered a name for himself by remixing Sia’s ‘Chandelier (over 2.5 million plays on Soundcloud) as well as the remixing the likes of chart toppers Coldplay and Ed Sheeran, is considered to be one of France’s rising stars.

The new single, “Better Love,” finds Heyer & Bekant delivering a funky upbeat sun-drenched future classic, this time with River (28 million streams on Spotify for “Fast Car”) on vocals before her next single drops this summer. The artists’ collaboration is undeniably a current sounding catchy pop number in “Better Love” - a sure-fire anthem for Summer 2017 and beyond when it drops August 25th via Heyer Music.
