lyrics
Promised a great leap forwards
led on a long limp backwards
Another regime of blindfold reform
Expected as ever to grin and bear it, as we
measure the cost of brushing our teeth,
interning 'til our pockets bleed
paying penance for the guarantee
"we're in this together, we're making progress!"
Europe's impressed. A model for the rest
The country built on brown envelopes
golden handshakes and blue-blooded hopes has never changed
It's the same divide with a different name.
No patriotic platitudes will pay the bills this month
No sound-bite speeches stop us facing the brunt of any
price-hike, cut back, passed down debt
the subtle condescension, or the loose-veiled threat.
The country built on cabinet strokes
Top tier tax breaks, struggling to cope
In time again, they'll litter the lampposts
Plastic heads, with hollow pledge.

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.
