Lyrics:

You’re stuck in my head
Stuck on my heart
I wanna go, get out of here
I’d run away,I’d run away

Cause you make me feel like
I could be driving you all night
And I found your lips in the street lights
I wanna be there with you

Up in the clouds
High as a kite
We never sleep, we never tried
when you’re with me, I wanna stay here with you

Cause you make me feel like
I could be driving you all night
And I found your lips in the street lights
I wanna be there with you

Oh baby, take me to the feeling
I’ll be your sinner, in secret
When the lights go out
Oh baby, every single minute
I’ll be your hero, I’m winning
Run away with me

Over the weekend
We could turn the world to gold

Oh baby, take me to the feeling
I’ll be your sinner, in secret
When the lights go out
Oh baby, every single minute
I’ll be your hero, I’m winning
Run away with me

Creature In The Spiral is a dream pop artist from Texas, USA. Raul Gonzalez Jr has been creating catchy pop songs in his bedroom studio under this name for years now. I’ve been a fan since I first heard his “Islands Vol 1” album back in 2019 and we’re honoured to release his music as a cassette on Crafting Room Recordings.

Side A consists of the Dec E.P. (originally released December 7th 2020) and Side B is the Feb E.P. with an exclusive bonus track (originally released February 5th 2021)

“I’ve been thinking a lot about why things happen, and the way that they do. Are we on a predetermined path, or do we have full control over our destiny? Making music makes feel like I have control over that destiny. It’s not that I feel like I’m destined to make music or anything, but I do get a good feeling, a rush, when I create music. This is what fuels CITS. I want to make music to feel alive. Like I’m driving forward on my path at one-hundred miles per hour. Dec features songs that make me miss the way things used to be, and Feb has songs that make me feel like I’m on the right path. I’m grateful for everyone that crosses paths with me. It’s meant to be. Maybe it is written?”
– Raul Gonzalez Jr.

“Cannot wait for what he will make in the future, but I am sure I will be enjoying it.” – Start-track.com

Cassette release on the label:
https://craftingroomrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/rocknroll-for-lovestruck-buffoons

Björn Falk conjures up images of 60s garage rock with elements of folk and shoegaze creeping into some tracks. Love ballads populate the release with angst and emotion smothered over the duration of the tape. Björn creates beautiful and heart-wrenching songs in Studio Elenette, Sweden.

We’re thrilled to be working with Björn Falk and his wonderful label “Yellow Step Records” from Sweden again to create a wonderful series of tapes. In August of last year we released his debut E.P. “Rock’n’Roll For Hopeless Romantics” and we are now releasing his second “Rock’n’Roll For Lovestruck Buffoons” as a O-Card cassette.

The double sided cassette and vinyl 7″ artwork call back to the 60s garage rock era with their homely comfort. The C10 cassette features a vintage O-Card and an identical A and B side.

Included in this release is the bonus track “Sorgenfri”

“I live my life
Young and Old
Bright in spring
Living gold

All his leaves
Will fall at length
And look he stands
With naked strength

Like the oak
It’s then and now
Trunk and bough
Will lean to bow

The summer’s-rich
And autumn changed
Sober-hued
It’s gold again

Flowers blocking all my sight
Went to start a new
And I left that night

Silver streaming through the panes
The oak will guide
Til gold again”

Archie returns with the first single from his upcoming E.P. Gold Again features a driving post-punk bassline with warm chorus laded dreamy guitars, soft synthesiser, deep vocals and beautiful harmonies. The track was written in the summer of 2020 but was only fully developed in Archie’s small bedroom during the dark winter months.

The lyrics are based on a classic poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson called “The Oak”. The song went through a few different development stages before the final version you hear here today. Jasmine lends her soft voice and vocal harmonies during the chorus section of the track and also her film expertise for the music video which she directed and stared in.

Archie’s new E.P. will be released in September of this year and features his best crafted songs to date, telling his story of moving away and falling in love.

Glitter is the second and final single from Archie’s upcoming E.P. “New Colours In The Sky”. It features sparkling guitars and an atmosphere reminiscent of a still city in the midnight rain. Distorted bass chords give power to the melodic chorus and nostalgic synths drift in and out.

This song was written in the second national lockdown in the U.K. Archie captures a rainy evening in Brighton where street lights reflected off the floor like fireworks and glittered in the falling rain.

Archie’s new E.P. will be released September 12th of this year and features his best crafted songs to date, telling his story of moving away and falling in love.

lyrics:
Soaked, Stumbling in the rain
Passing through empty streets again
The wind throws me to the ground
Other than you, there’s no sound

Violet swirls occupy my sight
Glitter falls from the sky
And I know the moon is full tonight
Light is bouncing off your eyes

Walking past lines of cars
Blinding lights fill the floor with stars
Tonight is only the start
And I’m warm in the jacket of your arms

I think I am just my eyes
Reaching forward, for the flood
And I’m stuck on the door, on the way in

New Colours In The Sky is Archie’s second E.P. and it features his best songwriting to date. with higher production standards and more complex instrumentation, this new E.P. promises to deliver catchy dream-pop / post-punk songs with resonant emotional themes.

The E.P. was written whilst away from home for the first time, telling the story of Archie falling in love and finding a new place to be from. For this new E.P. Archie created tracks from his cramped university bedroom during the second and third U.K. lockdowns.

Inspired by the music of The Cure, The Chameleons, Joy Division and New Order; “New Colours In The Sky” blends post-punk basslines and song structures with dreamy vocals, swirling guitars, catchy hooks and ambient drones.

“Never settling in on a moment
I move through wasted time
Is it all just a simulation
Leaving life for the slaughter house

I was left on a pilgrims journey
Travelling through the fourth dimension
Is there any meaning to it
Gone now, so it goes

Can’t turn away
From the stars
What will be
Will always be

Travelling through space and time
When the night was cold and the mist hung low
It was then that my life changed forever
Gone now, so it goes”

Hailing from Brighton, ELLiS·D veers between Psychedelic jangle and taut Post-Punk attack, singing with an unapologetic honesty of the burden of guilt shouldered by today’s youth for the world future generations are set to inherit. Fierce Motorik rhythms underpin sweeping, rose-tinted melodies, subtly hinting at aspects of Indie, Krautrock and Baroque Pop without ever firmly bedding down roots at any of their doors.

Starting out as a drummer playing in a host of different bands from the age of 15 – most notably the garage four piece Strange Cages – ELLiS·D began his solo career in the summer of 2019 with the release of the single “Elastic” before following up with a string of further singles and his debut EP in Feb ’21, the first record to be released via his own DIY Label ‘Change The F*cking Records!’.

‘We Are The Last Generation’ sees ELLiS·D at his most eclectic to date, fusing together the high-octane energy that his live audiences have become accustomed to with a more methodical songwriting approach, underpinned by an anxiety ridden, histrionic vocal style that simultaneously quivers and roars above the instrumentation. Tackling deep-rooted existential fears on the EP of a future slipping from our grasp, ELLiS·D attempts to come to terms with these issues with the cynicism and trace hope embodied by the youth of today. It also sees him team up with local Brighton label Crafting Room Recordings for a first physical release on cassette

Since the return of live music in 2021 ELLiS·D has been performing constantly across the South East, supporting the likes of Blanketman, U-Bahn, Hadda Be + Hi-Vis in Brighton + London on top of hometown headline shows, receiving airplay from BBC Introducing, Boogaloo, TotallyRadio, Slack City, as well as curating a monthly night in the cellar of the Brunswick with Change The F*cking Records!

​

For the launch of the EP ELLiS·D will be playing two separate release shows at The Green Door Store in Brighton on 6th December followed by The George Tavern in London on the 10th.
