We catch a flame
We hold a breath
And in-between
We keep a measure
Grit by grift
And stolen beat
As long as can
As long as willed
As long as asked
Until relieved
The Treaty says
The treaty sleeps

There’s keep the cool
There’s take the play
There’s come on in
There’s keep at bay
There’s standing still
Or keep some distance
On the way
There’s a law and there’s an order
To each hidden interaction
There’s a habit and a method
To repulsion and attraction
There’s the influence of history
It’s quiet accumulation
Culminating in the rumour
Of a moment that’s been waiting…
This is ‘Colour Running Away’. Out now on all streaming services.
“Sample city here we come. Slick beat central, we’re on way. All you late night contortionists of drum n’ base and glitch, catch you there in the dirt and the strobe…”
“‘On and On and Gone’ will be their first studio album in close to six years, so expect some more previews and singles. But for now, soak it up, suck it in, sup it sleazy. That first taste licked a high grade first date…”
Longer than usual, all spoilt for choice, packed fulla beautiful musical beans… and crafted into a playlist as always. Enjoy the flow. Enjoy the music. Enjoy the ride. This the best of February’s submissions…
“If this ain’t the best way to kick off this year’s noise then go back to your pram and your toys because Mumma, we’re spittin’ the rattle. It’s the rattle of new rock n’roll…”
“So here we are now in ’23 with the yet to land LP ‘New York City’. All the mess and the pump’s back in style…”
“So for drugs, booze and debauchery blues, all pumped out in squalor and speed, here comes all the above in abundance…”
