lyrics
Meeting Aphra Lee this morning
on a rare visit from Derry to Dublin
to experience the present moment
the fleeting glimpse of Irish summer
We sit in Iveagh Gardens, disconnect from obligations
revel at the kinship and forget our limitations for a while
Meeting Aphra Lee this morning
with a bus to catch this evening
it's another old friend's birthday
it's another promised greeting
To prolong the jilted journey we loop around the station
avoiding any obvious, uncomfortable conversation
A hug becomes a hold, lets the lightning strike our centre
Attuned to the same frequency if not the same adventure
One day we might get back to this
unfinished story quietly missed
soured by its circumstance
awaiting resolution.
No dancing 'round the notion
scared of our devotion
worried it won't go away
until we give we it answer.

I liked Desired's self-titled release very much, so had to get "Lovestory" as well, its style feels the closest. Desired must be a fan of the 80ies "Cat's Eye" anime, as tracks 1 and 8 are from its soundtrack.

It’s tough to choose a favorite for this one because I like them all. I think I might choose Come Down because the vocal sample really enhances the mood of the track.

Feels like you just came home and are winding down before bed after a fun summer day.

Irish act Perlee used lockdown time to develop demos into this raw, but lovely collection of tuneful alternative folk songs.
go to album -
Haunting and moody art pop spun from gauzy layers of synth and topped with aching vocals.

The four songs on this EP are smoky and mysterious, wreaths of synth surrounding Kiara NGL’s whispery vocals.
