“This song highlights the transgressive nature of man. How far “good” people can separate themselves from their own values for selfish reasons; creaking open the door for darkness to enter in small doses until, over time, they are entirely consumed. We cannot understand the implications of the unseen. The only way to control darkness is to confront it and cast it away. A small window of opportunity can lead to a lifetime of broken doors.”
The start of this had me reminiscing the sound from ‘Frank’ by Amy Winehouse, and as the song evolves it’s just a musical delight to experience… Full of experimental play and soulful emotion.
Fragile lyrics with a punchy delivery. I can’t tell you how much in love I am with this track from 19-year old Sydney based talent merci, mercy.
An experimental piece of dark pop that pushes boundaries yet still feels accessible and easy to follow along to.
“I sat down with my favourite acoustic guitar and felt so overwhelmed, just by how aging, acceptance and getting help really pulled my out of that dark time. It’s time to make peace with the fact that I’ve gone that deep and I hope somebody out there will feel that their dark times will pass too. It always does.”
“Being a classic bloke I could never tell her straight away exactly how I was feeling but hoped that she already knew.”
This sound feels almost timeless. Softly pulsating indie with a sense of drama and sadness from a London based, New Zealand native who’s still just 18-years old.
“1972 is partly about realising a relationship isn’t as good as you thought it was, and alongside that the frustration that shows up when you can’t move on from someone who’s moved on from you.”
“all i hear (dada)” is essentially about an unhealthy crush but peeling deeper into the essence of the song, it concerns how you treat yourself. About how you, especially in unhealthy relations, often let impulsive instincts undertake your logic when life is passing through.”
“How Do We Look So Good? Is about feeling guilty for not really feeling guilty at all. I wanted this track to generate a sense of nostalgia. Kind of like a dreary, hazy dream that you don’t ever want to wake up from.”
“Spanish Rose is a song about complete infatuation. I was completely and utterly obsessed with every individual essence of this person at one point, this song is a testament to everything about them and all that I was feeling at the time of writing this.”
“The song reminisces in hindsight to one’s identity, running a spectrum of contemplative love from passion to regret.”
“Steamy was the first song we created as seeyousoon and it feels right to have it be the first song the world hears. It’s exciting to think about how our listeners are going to be front row to an audible experience that will continue to evolve and inspire.”
“This song is a response to industry heads dazzling me into multiple development deals and pulling the wool over my eyes. I came to the realisation that I didn’t need this type of negative control in my life and that I could take care of it myself!”
Track of the week. There’s been somewhat of a resurgence in UK Garage of late (some good, mostly bad), but this has to be some of the best that I have yet to hear.
An indie-rock sound with a raw, trippy, cosmic and psychedelic edge that is totally bonkers yet brilliant.
