Taste To Run

King of the Grass

King Of The Grass

With a vocal that's raw and honest, B of Briz confronts and consoles in this alt hip hop contemplation. In this melancholic retrenchment with a driving bassline, B asks: what happens when stuff’s gone really badly wrong? How do we resist and recover and regroup?  With broken beats, 'Profoundly sick society' is a dark and dystopic acknowledgment that's also full of hope.

Profoundly sick society

All around the world
People are ringing their hands,
Why oh why oh why oh why,
Can’t we learn to love each other?
Is what they say,
As if that’s the only way

Maybe it’s not,
Maybe that kinda jumped up sentiment’s part of the mess we got ourselves into

Maybe it’s best to let people get on with it, 
Maybe they’ll let you get on too…

Seems to me, 
That toleration holds the key,
Yeah it’s the very foundation of a dream situation,
Can’t you see? 
It’s such a wonderful thing,

I want to raise your expectations,
I want to say what I’ve been dying to say, 
Want to achieve my aspiration, 
I want to be part of a tolerant nation

Maybe it’s true, 
Maybe just putting up with each other’s a remarkable thing to do, 
For me and you 

Maybe it’s best to say live and let live each day,
Maybe they’ll say the same thing too…

Seems to me, 
That toleration holds the key,
Yeah it’s the very foundation of a dream situation,
Can’t you see? 
It’s such a wonderful thing

I want to raise your expectations,
I want to say what I’ve been dying to say, 
Want to achieve my aspiration, 
I want to be part of a tolerant nation

I wanna go, I wanna see,
I wanna know, I wanna be

I want to raise your expectations,
I want to say what I’ve been dying to say, 
Want to achieve my aspiration, 
I want to be part of a tolerant nation


Tolerant Nation

Seismic is your anti-summer anthem - a contemporary folk ballad for anyone who’s ever stared at the crashing waves and wondered, “Is there more than this?”. Acoustic guitar fingerpicking, mandolin, and vocal harmonies by Icelandic singer-songwriter Ösp Eldjárn & Helga Ragnars and London-based Italian Valeria Pozzo draw you in like sirens at sea. But MAAR’s sirens soothe, not sink. They whisper: don’t let the wave pull you under.

Brighton-based electronic pop duo Sock Drawer return with “Bored” a woozy, slow-burning dream-pop track set in a parallel universe where they’re rich, famous, and finally on tour. In reality? They’re just... bored.

One of the earliest tracks written for their upcoming debut album, “Bored” began as a stripped-back acoustic tune—a half-baked escape plan rooted in a fantasy trip to Amsterdam. That trip never happened, but the daydream stuck. Over time, the song grew into a layered, sample-heavy voyage through inertia and imagination. Guitars pulse with restless energy, drum loops stutter and swirl, and the final section bursts into a euphoric 4-to-the-floor outro—a pop-fuelled hallucination of a tour that never was.

Vocalist Ebony Grace reflects on being a tourist in your own life adrift, daydreaming, and disconnected. “‘Bored’ is set in a kind of parallel universe—by the end of the track, we’re on tour and rich and famous. But really, we’re just daydreaming on the sofa,” she says.

It’s escapism disguised as a pop song—or maybe the other way around.

MAAR is the latest endeavour from long-time collaborators and friends Ösp Eldjárn, Valeria Pozzo, and Helga Ragnarsdóttir. Two-thirds Icelandic, one-third Italian, the trio first crossed paths in London in 2011, when a chance house-share sparked a lasting musical connection. Over the years, they’ve supported each other’s solo work, weaving in and out of one another’s projects. 

Now, under the name MAAR, they’ve come together as a single creative voice. In the summer of 2024, the trio retreated to a cabin in southern Iceland, where they wrote the songs that will appear on their debut EP, The Wave. MAAR’s sound is rooted in acoustic instrumentation and three-part vocal harmonies. At its core is the interplay of voices - distinct, yet closely connected. Shaped by years of collaboration and friendship, their music is intimate and unforced. It flows like a conversation between close friends.
