A_TIME_2_PLAY_B_SIDES…
//
“MONOLITH” (a la carte Recs) is the hard charging flip_side to DOCILE BODIE’s latest 7” release & it finds the Tilburg, NL-based quartet of vocalist Sjoerd Aarden, guitarist Merl van der Markt, bassist Tadzio van Bel & drummer Hans Diks unleashing a surfy-esque slice of moody GloomRawk that brings plenty of bodied up menace & low-end thump.
//
“ARCH” (@theefuneralparty) is the dance-tastic B_Side from TOPOGRAPHIES’ latest 7” single & it finds San Francisco-based trio of bassist Justin Oronos, guitarist Jeremie Ruest & vocalist Gray Tolhurst bringing a compressed bout of gloomy GothPop that’ll no doubt send plenty of melancholic heads towards the nearest darkened dancehall w/ their blend of dreamy NuWave.
//
“GIVE IT BACK” (@wharfcatrecords-blog) is WEAK SIGNAL’s contribution to their latest split 7” w/ Cass McCombs & it finds the NY-based trio of vocalist/guitarist Mike Bones, bassist/vocalist Sasha Vine & drummer Tran bringing 2 ½ mins of bare boned & bashed out IndieRawk that oozes plenty of twanged-out charisma & SST-esque grit.

BE SURE TO GIVE THESE TUNES A LISTEN BELOW...

ichor_a mix for ORWELL
12 tracks [a side/intermission/b side] + 2 bonus tracks
track listing + lyrics under the cut || listen here !!
a_side : 5 tracks
“If it would make people happy, I wouldn’t mind if my whole body burned to ashes.”
O1. Bitter Choco Decoration_Syudou feat. Miyushita Yuu
I do my best not to hurt anyone,
not to bully anyone,
and not to kill anyone.
I also mustn't forget to throw in a light joke and some smooth talk here and there, and to always smile and please everybody
I do my best to respect others,
to worship others,
to praise others.
O2. A Sleepwalker Gazing on Nirvana_Tatsuya Kitani
Even “today, the day that I killed you”
is just “today, which is just the same as tomorrow will be”
-- Now I know why I haven't been able to love anyone
I’m completely immersed in a curse that won’t be dispelled until I die;
there’s no saving me
O3. Veil_Suda Keina
The words I’m unable to share with you,
They increase every time I notice them.
Even if it’s the future of these unending days,
Even if it’s this near unsalvageable melancholy
The more this finger struggles, the more they fade away remotely
I didn’t want to know the color of untouchable memories
Although you aren’t here anymore, I still want to keep dreaming.
O4. Flos_R Sound Design feat. いゔどっと
After we fracture our relationship with the truth we’re about to spill today.
All that is going to overflow will be lit with firewood, carried by the wind
and colorize the rusty sky
The flower I deliberately
decorated for the dulled days withered with the blink of an eye.
Foolish me woke up from the dream
There was no point in clinging on
O5. Juice_Natsuhiro Takaaki
(cw: implied car accident)
I only wished for a happy ending to this story
Still, it got taken away by June’s rain
Oh, yes, today resembles that day indeed
The same rain poured on that day
I stared at the Marlboro cigarettes that couldn’t light up because of the humidity
“It’ll come true someday,”
I filled the cup with this reckless dream and drank it
-- What an unpleasant sweet juice.
– INTERMISSION –
Koi wa Daremo Inai_ Sakamoto Yoshie
My heart is breaking, I can't hide my sins
And the tears start falling, again and again
I dance in the kitchen to a rhythm of blues.
After these nightmares, I know the love has nobody
I spend all the proof of love
And again, I sing and bleed
I have a feeling that everything will collapse
Though there is nothing happening
b_side : 4 tracks
“Let me go flying, then… to somewhere far beyond the expanses of the sky.”
O1. Hakujitsu_King Gnu feat. Kobasolo + Anonymous
Too late even if we started over
Won’t matter even if I wipe it all out
It’ll always cling to me, won’t let it go
I gotta walk through what I’m in now
Goodbye clearing everything to pure white
Please stormy snow would you try covering it all
Just for today, just forever?
Blank it out, just hide it all away.
O2. But Not For Me_arr. Yoko Kanno feat. Masayoshi Furukawa
They’re writing songs of love, but not for me
A lucky star’s above, but not for me
With love to lead the way, I’ve found more clouds of grey
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get this way
Hi-ho alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I can’t dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he’s not for me.
O3. The Dreaming Girl in Me_Sakamoto Yoshie
All the sadness and the pain I’ve felt,
All the happiness and joy I’ve felt
After the time goes by, all is in the past
Bitter sweet pastel memories
When I was young I believed there was a sun
that goes up and a sun that goes down
In my heart I always thought they were two things
And the moon and the stars in the night
were the same lights that lit up the streets
They were the same to my young eyes
O4. If I Only Had a Brain_Jeremy Little
I would not be just a nuffin’
My head all full of stuffin’
My heart all full of pain.
And maybe I’d deserve you
And be even worthy of you
If I only had a brain.
– BONUS –
Gregorio_Fullkawa Honpo feat. Chibita
On my own, I felt my way through the abyss of gloomy nights,
So that I could keep going.
This faintly-burning light
that someone left behind,
Please don’t forget.
No that’s not it,
There’re also things that slipped from our memories, aren’t there?
It doesn’t mean that I lock everything of a person away
in a corner of my heart.
“Bitter things are those things we no longer remember
and also the things that escaped our mind.”
E.T._Heize
Even though I’m leaving,
I’m going back to my world
So don’t worry,
I’ll be more comfortable.
