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...?

MGMT - "Kids" (Oracular Spectacular, 2008)

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it:

Μαθαίνουμε πως μόλις κυκλοφόρησε νέο δισκάκι από τους MGMT, πέντε χρόνια μετά την τελευταία τους ομώνυμη δουλειά. Τίτλος αυτού Little Dark Age και οι έως τώρα κριτικές πολύ καλές. Μέχρι να καταπιαστούμε λοιπόν με το καινούργιο, πηγαίνουμε δέκα χρόνια πίσω στο κλασσικό και υπέροχο "Kids".

The Band: MGMT (Brooklyn, USA)

Line Up: Andrew VanWyngarden (vocals, guitar, keyboards, drums), Ben Goldwasser (keyboards, synthesizer, vocals, drums), Matthew Asti (bass, backing vocals), James Richardson (lead guitar, keyboard, percussion), Will Berman (drums)

The Track: "Kids"

The Album: Oracular Spectacular (2008)

The Sound: Indie Pop, Neo PSychedelia, Synthpop

And Says...

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
You pick the insects off plants
No time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions to decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting
To be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting
To be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting
To be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees
