Lyrics:
Maudy La Lune
Waitress at the Hotel Unreal
My pot plant on the windowsill
I don’t mind what she puts on my bill

Maudy La Lune
Takes me to the top of the hill
I’m so in love it’s making me ill
So in love, it’s making me ill
So in love, it’s making me ill

Maudy La Lune
All I have and all I can lose (all I can lose)
If she left me now I’d be through
All I’d have is holes in my shoesAll I’d have is holes in my shoes

Maudy La Lune
She is my favourite tune
If you saw her you’d love her too
(She’s my favourite tune)
She is my favourite tune
(She’s my favourite tune)
She is my favourite tune
She is my favourite, she is my favourite tune

Lyrics:
I’m so bored of these intrusive thoughts coming after me
Sick of my own voice screaming right beneath my teeth
That old familiar sound when my cellphone hits the ground
When that thing just doesn’t sing it’s just something I drag around

And I can’t be what you need me to be
Lately I can’t sleep just lay awake feeding on my feed
Well I’m not shutting down
Well I’m not shutting down
Well I’m not shutting down
I’m shutting up

So you won’t hear me when I say, everything’s ok…
I’ll see you around
I’ll see you around

I just tune out the alarms when they’re loud and warning me
All the holes in the mufflers
All the vials in the street
When the rubber hits the road I got nowhere to go
No GPS anybody’s guess if I’ll ever get back home

And I can’t be where you need me to be
Cause I’m asleep at the wheel probably
So I’m not slowing down
No I’m not slowing down
Yea I’m not slowing down
I’m speeding up

So you won’t see my brake lights flash on that rainbow overpass

I’ll see you around
I’ll see you around

Recorded in the crafting room using my squire jazzmaster and modest equipment and effects pedals.

Lyrics:

Time, moves slowly
Now I don’t see you
Your always in my dreams, even
When you’re away from me

Wait, wait for me
My head moves so slowly
Wait, for me here
I’ll be back just don’t you fear

Wait. For me
My head. Moves so slow
Wait. For me here
I’ll be back. Don’t you fear

Hualun (花伦), an experimental / ambient rock band from Wuhan, China, formed nearly 15 years ago. Their music is characterised by repeating guitar loops and improvised synthesizer, creating unique and dense soundscapes which convey complex emotion.

Normality – or that which we used to consider “normal” – seems like a distant memory at the moment, with the advent of lock-down in the UK, in the fight against coronavirus. I have read a number of heart-warming stories over the past few weeks: the nation taking to the streets to clap the brave NHS workers battling the virus on the front lines; communities going above and beyond to help each other in the face of adversity; bandcamp agreeing to waive their fee for struggling independent artists. I feel privileged to be able to add my own, heart-warming story to this list…

It is an honour to introduce, Hualun. I was first contacted by the band in February, whilst they were trapped in isolation. Having been stuck at home for the preceding month, they reached out with the purpose of creating a cassette for the fifth installment in their experimental, ambient series: “wʌndərlænd”. At that stage, the prospect of isolation or lock-down was completely unknown here in the UK, but the band themselves were in the eye of the storm. They sent me this message, from Wuhan, on 1st March:

“Please pay attention to your safety and prepare masks. Peace to you”.

For them to reach out in such a way, and with such empathy, gave me an instant connection with the band. Just as the members were able to strike a chord with me, so too has their music with many other people.

“Silently” and “No Signal In This City”, are both set to appear in a new film (“244”) by German director, Luis Schubert, who has clearly recognised the emotional qualities of their sound. This film is set for release in the autumn of 2020.

The band found their big break in 2018 when they were asked to score the music of the film “An Elephant Sitting Still”. It was the first and last film from the Chinese novelist and director, Hu Bo; and it found great critical success, winning the audience choice award at numerous different film festivals.

“wʌndərlænd” contains some pieces of our life,which recorded and restored the moments we felt were a little unexpected” – Hualun

1-Sailing Competition (0.00)
2-City Blues (7.50)
3-Li Sweet (14.53)

Following the success of the cassettes of Wʌndərlænd +5 on the label, we have worked with Hualun to create double the quantity, with a noticeable increase in psychical production quality.

Wʌndərlænd +7 is the last in the series of E.P.s created by the band between 2018 and 2019. Capturing moments in time, their E.P.s have been recorded at their home in Shenzehn, occasionally mere hours after inspiration has struck.

Creating mesmerizing and immersive soundscapes is Hualun’s specialty and this release is no exception. While noticeably lighter and sunnier than much of their previous work, wʌndərlænd +7 warrants deeper introspection into the listener’s thoughts and emotion.

“The works in album presents the most lush side in our way of creation,with new possibilities to be discovered along the way. You can join us on a sound experience through the album, and then explore the source of natural growth with the music. Once connected by you and others, this llusion of “wʌndərlænd” will become something real” – Hualun

“Music from Hualun is recorded from dreams, where you only need to listen – for just a moment – and transformation ensues.” – ANTI: Music

Hualun (花伦) is a rock band from Wuhan China formed in 2004. Hot off the heels of their latest soundtrack for critically acclaimed documentary “Wuhan Wuhan”, Hualun are releasing “Live By The Sea”. The album consists of their live set by the sea at a festival put on by Beijing club Zhao Dai.

Zhao Dai was opened to bring a different electronic sound to the clubs in Beijing and in response to the covid blues felt across the country, an electronic music festival was held at Aranya on the Bohai Sea. Bringing the kind of party you find at a club to a three day festival resulted in an electric atmosphere.

Pressed on blue marble vinyl and released for pre-order on April 1st, “Live By The Sea” marks the fifth collaboration with the band, based in Shenzhen, and Brighton U.K. based indie label “Crafting Room Recordings”. The deluxe version of the vinyl features an A3 poster, film photograph, glitter stickers and digital downloads of their four previous releases with CRR.

Hualun – “In May 2021, Hualun was invited to attend an electronic music festival at the seaside. The band members met in Beijing and then drove to the Golden Coast, which is over 300 kilometers away from Beijing. Among so many young people who were eager to dance, Hualun played this new material, and experienced a magical afternoon.”

The record will be available to purchase here from April 1st:
