LYRICS:

We’ve eclipsed the fear of god and fallen out of love.
No more than a shadow, peaked and weak.
Life was getting in the way, how then now should we live?
With no eye to the future threats?

We still fear blood and the hidden price it seeks.
To walk away with a piece of meat.

Passing ships in the night settle my debts in full.
This broken home mended in the end.

You need to allow this to be what it wants.
You have no control, breathe deep.
You need to allow this to be what it is.
Don’t give it too much air, it won’t stop.

There’s this idea of me, there’s no root in reality.
Is this my eulogy?
Too busy to see the last of me.

Am I still alive? Is anything left of me?
Should I mourn I’ve exposed a heart with nothing but contempt?

You need to allow this to be what it wants.
No stomach to leave or lead.
You need to allow this to be what it is.
How values vary at peace.

How many white lies to see this through?
As I prepare this home into a crypt.
Unexpected tides come in at will.
I can’t do this alone anymore.

What’s it gonna cost me?
Money, time or sobriety?
To see the enemy fighting for me when I won’t breathe.
It’s not enough for me.
Hiding from my needs anymore, so fuck this life.
Still my heart skips a beat the moments that I taste clarity.
I just want to live.

It’s what compels me to rest, it demands I quit.
We’re gonna twist in the wind undone and refused.
Somewhere between the beatings home is here I guess.
What you see in me are the parts you hate in yourself.

Pray no one takes notice of your weakness as you stumble through.
To mourn a ghost when everything that surrounds me only sings.
Why god only whispers when the hounds of hell they scream all night.
So grateful to be so ungrateful.

Spit in the eye of misery and live.
You fought long, you fought hard, now do this alone.

“‘OFD’ or ‘Old Forgotten Days’ reflects on relationships with once close friends ending on bitter terms, channeling all the anger, the annoyance, and the regret” – Billy Marsh

Formed in Brighton in 2022 by frontman Billy Marsh, Ideal Living notably features musicians from across the city’s current wave of emergent alternative acts (Flip Top Head and SoftTop among them) in its ever-shifting orchestra.

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

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:

“Powerful synth pulses with driving electro drums form the backbone of this nostalgic 80’s inspired romp”. Established in 2018 Filthy Hippies is a South African Alternative trio with a strong undercurrent of Shoegaze influences. The band quickly established themselves as solid contenders in the explosive, burgeoning South African psych scene and list supporting Post-punk band Dangerfield’s album launch, and 2019’s Endless Daze Festival as current highlights. Filthy Hippies create a sound that is best described as a Phil Spector’esque wall of sound hitched to deep routed pop inflections.
