lyrics
Drifting alone, drone on the phone
The call centre feels more familiar than your home
It was a temp job out of necessity
Promised yourself "it won't get the best of me",
but days repeat with reheat dinners
feel your hopes and hair grow thinner
don't recognise the wreck in the mirror, as you realise
there's only one way to be a winner
Connive to survive, you gotta cheat if you wanna eat tonight
Connive to survive, you gotta be sincere in selling the lie
Get in the zone of effortless call flow
Leave your moral judgement well at home
The customers call to complain
Your wage is determined by feeling their pain
And then talking about the contract clause and
turning them round to our noble cause
Unparalleled pro, your name well known
The boss they've never seen go home
Mussolini of telemarketing
It's always the weakest enemy your targeting
Inexplicable mix of balding bravado
Helps you to hide the part you'll never show
The part they'll never know
Connive to survive, you gotta cheat if you wanna eat tonight
Connive to survive, you gotta be sincere in selling the lie
You can't divide your life from your lie.
The call centre feels more familiar than your home
It was a temp job out of necessity
Promised yourself "it won't get the best of me",
but days repeat with reheat dinners

don't recognise the wreck in the mirror, as you realise
there's only one way to be a winner
Connive to survive, you gotta cheat if you wanna eat tonight
Connive to survive, you gotta be sincere in selling the lie
Get in the zone of effortless call flow
Leave your moral judgement well at home
The customers call to complain
Your wage is determined by feeling their pain
And then talking about the contract clause and

Unparalleled pro, your name well known

It's always the weakest enemy your targeting
Inexplicable mix of balding bravado

The part they'll never know
Connive to survive, you gotta cheat if you wanna eat tonight
Connive to survive, you gotta be sincere in selling the lie
You can't divide your life from your lie.

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.
