“imagine, that this is the last time we are here
floating above the bottomless green
imagine, that this is the last time the waves
are quite like this, quite like this

and what if I am lost in a far off place
where the sun is not the same
and what if I return to a different sky
a strange and distant plane

and ooooh, I can barely picture it
if I could see it then, what now
and ooooh, beneath the opal sky
I watch the distant lives, and mine”

Sunspire’s debut album “Ruins By The Sea” is out now on indie label Crafting Room Recordings. Pre-order the cassette here:

“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.

Lyrics:
“It’s the time she’s coming back And she sits down with her medicine Her notebook is a-fillin’ up With thoughts that she’s not good enough

She needs assurance That she is perfect Look in the mirror Critics from the Guardian Like a haircut that is far too long You can’t wake up and fly out of the door

She’s high maintenance And a problem She’s a mirage

It’s the time she’s coming back And she sits down with her medicine Her notebook is a-fillin’ up With thoughts that she’s not good enough

Clasping her hairbrush What damage will she do? Out on the town for a plastic pink parade Watching on the sidelines Full of awe and stuff Rodents are cute if they are material

It makes no sense to me Set me free It makes no sense to me Please set me free”

She’s a Mirage is the second single from Baltimore at an Angle’s 2nd album “I’m a Victor”. Combining jangly guitar and catchy bass hooks, Gilligham’s new track captures the essence of 80s indie from his bedroom in Bournemouth. Gilligham’s more collaborative approach with his second album presents the label founder, Archie Sagers, on bass for this track.

Baltimore at an Angle is G. Gillingham and he creates jangly indie rock songs from his home on an extremely low budget, recording all vocals with apple earphones and all guitars through I-Rig.

This new direction represents a higher fidelity of sound but the fuzzy vocals and jangly guitar that made his debut unique are still present in the single and the rest of the album.

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

Gillingham chose to work with Archie Sagers for this album. Every song was sent to Archie for mixing and tidying up. Bass riffs, synthesizer flairs and creative reverb are present throughout the runtime and are a mark of Archie’s production. The collaboration between the two musicians brings an interesting departure from Gilligham’s usual lofi aesthetic.

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.

“Combines the driving bass lines of Peter Hook with the chilling guitar work of Robert Smith to provide plenty of post-punk energy” – White Light White Heat

“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”
