Gaz Coombes - "Deep Pockets" (World's Strongest Man, 2018)

🎙️"Yeah, I'm okay
In a smaller orbit
Let's run like horses"

Ο Gaz Coombes (ή κατά κόσμον Gareth Michael Coombes) είναι ο άλλοτε τραγουδιστής και κιθαρίστας των σπουδαίων Indie Rockers Supergrass, οι οποίοι διαλύθηκαν το 2010.
Ο Coombes λοιπόν ακολουθεί πλέον προσωπική καριέρα και ο φετινός του πολύ καλός δίσκος World's Strongest Man, περιέχει μεταξύ άλλων αυτό εδώ το διαμαντάκι (Deep Pockets). Αγνό βρετανικό Indie, με γκάζι και μια τζούρα από garage. Δυνατό πολύ, το ακούμε στο REPEAT, απολαμβάνοντας το επίσημο Clip του..

The Artist: Gaz Coombes (Oxford, England)
The Track: "Deep Pockets"
The Album: World's Strongest Man (2018)
The Sound: Indie Rock, Art Rock, Alternative rock
And Says...

I'm out late, there's a half naked crowd of people
Let them in with their blank cheques & deep pockets
Hard living, paint peeling, all the dark days
Little rays of light moving I couldn't let go
In the bar her name is Jonny, the boys love her
Time waits, the light revealing all the dark ways
Bad feeling, it's you I need, I'm tired of the phone calls
Do I give myself to the outside?
It's no fun
When I spend my time in cars
Like the stars
But it's ok
I'm ok
In a smaller orbit
Let's run like horses
A lot of ways I could start making little changes
But I'm too stoned in the back seat again, I couldn't stop it
Then the panic soon surrounds me like deep water
So I give myself to the outside
It's no fun
When I spend my time in cars
Like the stars
But it's ok
I'm ok
In a smaller orbit
Let's run like horses
There's a black star
Right in my line of vision
Oh I miss her
But nobody
Nobody gets forgotten
Run like horses

Yours is like a flame

I can't make you see
If you don't by now
I'll get through these chains
Somehow, somehow

Take it if you want it
Im so tired I just don't care
Can't you see how much you hurt me?
It's like I wasn't there

Tell me what your heart wants
Such a simple thing
My heart is like paper
Yours is like a flame
My heart is like paper
Yours is like a flame

I can't make you see
If you don't by now
I'll get through these chains
Somehow, somehow

Tell me what your heart wants
Such a simple thing
My heart is like paper
Yours is like a flame
My heart is like paper
Yours is like a flame

Lana Del Rey - "Change" (Lust For Life, 2017)


"Every time that we run
We don't know what it's from
Now we finally slow down
We feel close to it
There's a change gonna come
I don't know where or when
But whenever it does
We'll be here for it"


Ένα lyric video αυτής της υπέροχης μπαλάντας που βρίσκεται στον πιο πρόσφατο δίσκο της χαρισματικής Lana Del Ray.

The Artist: Lana Del Rey (Los Angeles, USA)
The Track: "Change"
The Album: Lust For Life (2017)
The Sound: Alternative, Art Pop, Chamber Pop, Dream Pop
And Says...

There's something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It's coming in softly
On the wings of a bomb
There's something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It's coming in hotly
And it's coming in strong

Lately I've been thinking it's just someone else's job to care
Who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn
I've been thinking it's just someone else's job to care
Who am I to wanna try
But

Change is a powerful thing
People are powerful beings
Trying to find the power in me to be faithful
Change is a powerful thing
I feel it coming in me
Maybe by the time Summer's done
I will be able
To be honest, capable
Of holding you in my arms without letting you fall
When I don't feel beautiful or stable
Maybe it's enough to just be where we are because

Every time that we run
We don't know what it's from
Now we finally slow down
We feel close to it
There's a change gonna come
I don't know where or when
But whenever it does
We'll be here for it

There's something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It's coming in softly
On the wings of a song
There's something in the water
I can taste it turning sour
It's bitter, I'm coughing
But now it's in my blood

Lately I've been thinking it's just someone else's job to care
Who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn
I've been thinking it's just someone else's job to care cause who am I to wanna try but

Change is a powerful thing
People are powerful beings
Trying to find the power in me to be faithful
Change is a powerful thing
I feel it coming in me
Maybe by the time Summer's done
I will be able
To be honest, capable
Of holding you in my arms without letting you fall
When I don't feel beautiful or stable
Maybe it's enough to just be where we are because

Every time that we run
We don't know what it's from
Now we finally slow down
We feel close to it
There's a change gonna come
I don't know where or when
But whenever it does
We'll be here for it

Hmmm
Yeah, whenever it does
We'll be here for it
Hmmm
Whenever it does

We'll be here for it

The Decemberists - "Severed" (I'll Be Your Girl, 2018)


🎙️ "I'm allied to the winter
So don't you get clever
Don't you get clever
I'm allied to the landslide
Gonna leave you all severed
Gonna leave you all severed"






Δεν περίμενα τέτοιο τραγούδι από τους The Decemberists, αλλά είμαστε στο 2018 και μόνο υγεία είναι να πειραματίζεται μία μπάντα με τη μουσική της. Ειδικά όταν το κάνει καλά. Το "Severed" έχει Synthpop ρυθμό, ένα λίγο ψυχεδελικό riffaki και μας αρέσει πολύ πολύ.

The Band: The Decemberists (Portland, USA)
Line Up: Colin Meloy (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, percussion), Nate Query (double bass, electric bass), Jenny Conlee (accordion, backing vocals, Fender Rhodes, Hammond organ, upright piano, Wurlitzer, percussion), Chris Funk (Dobro, electric guitar, lap steel, synthesizer, pedal steel guitar, hurdy gurdy, percussion), John Moen (drums)
The Track: "Severed"
The Album: I'll Be Your Girl (2018)
The Sound: Indie, Indie Pop, Synthpop, Folk rock
And Says...

I lie like a whisper
I lie with the lights out
And it won't take me long just to find you
And it won't take me long just to find you

I'm allied to the winter
So don't you get clever
Don't you get clever
I'm allied to the landslide
Gonna leave you all severed
Gonna leave you all severed

I alone am the answer
I alone will make wrongs right
But in order to root out the cancer
It's got to be kept from the sunlight

I'm allied to the winter
So don't you get clever
Don't you get clever
I'm allied to the landslide
Gonna leave you all severed
Gonna leave you all severed

I was born to a jackal
I was born in a whiteout
Gonna smother you all till I choke you
Gonna smother you all till you kick out

I'm allied to the winter
So don't you get clever
Don't you get clever
I'm allied to the landslide
Gonna leave you all severed
Gonna leave you all severed

Franz Ferdinand - "Feel the Love Go" (Always Ascending, 2018)

🎙️"Think of a friend (love)
And wish them love
Think of an enemy (more)
And wish them more
Think of every (life)
Life and wish them all your love

Then feel that love return
Feel the love infinity
Feel the love infinity
Then let it go"


Η παρέα του χαρισματικού Alex Kapranos κυκλοφόρησε το Φλεβάρη το 8ο album των Σκοτσέζων και το "Feel The Love Go" είναι το δεύτερο single τους. Είναι groovy, έχει ωραίο dance ρυθμό και μας αρέσει πολύ!

The Band:
Franz Ferdinand (Glascow, Scotland)
Line Up: Alex Kapranos (vocals, guitar), Robert Hardy (bass), Paul Thomson (drums), Dino Bardot (guitar), Julian Corrie (keyboards, synthesizer, guitar)
The Track: "Feel The Love Go"
The Album: Always Ascending (2018)
The Sound: Indie Rock, New Wave, Dance Punk, Synthpop
And Says...

Hey, what's that thing that you're doing
Hey, what's that thing that you do
No, you're not that thing that you're doing
For the things that you do are not who you are

Why don't you come over here
Why don't you come over here
Why don't you come over here
Why don't you come over

Think of a friend (love)
And wish them love
Think of an enemy (more)
And wish them more

See, see the things that you're doing
See, but see the things that you do
See the things that you do are not who you are

Why don't you come over here
Why don't you come over here
Why don't you come over here
Why don't you come over

Think of a friend (love)
And wish them love
Think of an enemy (more)
And wish them more
Think of every (life)
Life and wish them all your love

Then feel that love return
Feel the love infinity
Feel the love infinity
Then let it go

Let the love go
Oh, let the love go
Oh, let the love go
Oh, let the love go

Feel the love go
Feel the love go
Feel the love then go
Feel the love then go

Feel the love go

40 Watt Sun - "Beyond You" (Wider Than The Sky, 2016)

Take what you need
Or all you can save:

Μελωδία, μελαγχολία και εξαιρετικοί στίχοι.
Υπέροχο τραγούδι από μία πολύ αξιόλογη μπάντα.



The Band: 40 Watt Sun (London, UK)
Line Up: Patrick Walker (vocals, guitar), Christian Leitch (drums), William Spong (bass)
The Track: "Beyond You"
The Album: Wider Than The Sky (2016)
The Sound: Slowcore, Post-Rock
And Says:

Take what you need
Or all you can save
All you ever wanted will burn in a blaze
Look not for the ending
The end is unmade
All you ever lived for will carry these days
Far beyond the ties of time

The shrill streaks of morning ignite some closing loss
And the silence speaks more human weight
Than you've ever known
For words are like weapons
That only will disclose your weakness

But all that was breaking
All that was stone
Are as far beyond you as the stars

As far beyond them as you are

Whatever love will take apart
Beyond these precious moments
These alone are undivided

And when the night holds weight
Pouring unfamiliar pain
In black sheets of separation

Antimatter - "Comrades" (The Judas Table, 2015)

"Where are your comrades, now?
They must be lost..."

Οι Antimatter είναι ουσιαστικά η one man band του Mick Moss. Άκουσα πρόσφατα την πιο πρόσφατη δουλειά τους, που έχει τίτλο The Judas Table και ξεχώρισα το "Comrades" που είναι μία υπέροχη και γεμάτη συναισθήματά, μελαγχολική μπαλάντα, η οποία αντιπροσωπεύει τον υπόλοιπο πολύ καλό δίσκο. Ναι, εσείς οι οπαδοί των Anathema να σπεύσετε άμεσα...



The Band: Antimatter (Liverpool, UK)
The Track: "Comrades"
The Album: The Judas Table, 2015
The Sound: Art Rock, Proggressive rock, Melancholic
And Says...

Did you drop your torch in the dark?
The lights went out;
You scraped along the wall to find the door

Did you fall from the pavement, again?
You woke up screaming –
Alone, and covered in sweat

Where are your comrades, now?
They must be lost...
Where are your comrades, now?

Could you buy the opulence?
Of peers and promises?
Wise not to wait...

In the haze of the moment, they said
"He was all about the morals,"
And swiftly sent humility to bed

And even though they're all liars and thieves
Your own act of contrition
Was deemed to be enough to cut you free

Where are your comrades, now?
They must be fools...
Where are your comrades, now?


Could you buy the opulence?
Of peers and promises
Dusted on their face?

Was your sinking ship quickly hemorrhaging rats
All the way down?
Were you disconnected, when a common sap

Did you think that if that's the way they played?
When all is said and done
You're better off without them, anyway...?
