“Nagoro” by Supercaan – A Song Feature

 

      The vocals in “Nagoro” possess a charisma that pulls the listener into the emotion of the song, regardless of any attempt to understand the lyrics or grasp any meaning. Simultaneously, the instrumentation offers another compelling element, adding to the allure of the single by Supercaan. Interestingly the song features a vitality profile that is the reverse of the Japanese village from which it borrows its name. “Nagoro” establishes energy expectations during most of the track, then exceeds those expectations beginning at 2:48. In contrast, the Japanese village is characterized by realistic scarecrows that represent former residents, many of whom left to find work elsewhere.
 
     Supercaan posted an interesting explanation of the song:
  Nagoro shares its name with an eerie rural Japanese village where faded handmade scarecrow dolls have replaced a population drawn to the brighter lights of the cities. “I saw that village as a metaphor for the cost of progress,” says lyricist Tom Whitfield. “The tiger represents the creeping threat of modernisation and the sense that our place in the world is fragile.” The track is built around skittering glitchy drums and anthemic indie guitar, and takes is structure from techno with an extended drop.
 
     Supercaan released its second album, “A Tiger Walks The Streets,” with “Nagoro” among its 10 tracks. Other than the two instrumental songs, each song offers lyrical intelligence and social insight. The band does not shy away from exploring political and social topics. The album is “about the things you look at in society, things that worry us about bringing kids up in this world, and what we are leaving behind for future generations.” It is an album that will remain interesting over time, since the song touch upon many topics, including the death of a bandmate (“Everything Collapses”).
 
     The members of Supercaan are Greg Milner (vocals), Tom Whitfield (synth, lyrics), Stuart White (drums), Justin Januszewski (bass) and Ralph Frost (guitar). The band is based in Birmingham, UK, but the members are from London, Birmingham, North Shields and Denbighshire, Wales. They refer to producer Simon Weaver as a sixth member.

“See Ya Next Time” by Zach Bailey – A Song Feature

 

     Zach Bailey showcases his refined brand of sophisticated Pop Rock with his latest release, "See Ya Next Time," a heartfelt breakup recovery declaration. The Rock sensibilities are best displayed during the guitar-driven bridge that begins just before the two-minute mark. The sophistication permeates the entire track, with a standout moment occurring around 2:21, when the vocal processing sometimes carries an ethereal beauty reminiscent of monks delivering a Gregorian Chant.
 
     Still, “See Ya Next Time” is best characterized by its energy and the vocal range of Zach Bailey. The song is an Alternative Pop Rock tune about looking towards the future optimistically after a recent breakup. The lyrics, which paint a poetic picture of the relationship, are included at the bottom of this post.
 
     Bailey is originally from Kansas, but he is now based in Los Angeles. The credits of “See Ya Next Time” list Bailey as the songwriter and performer. The lead guitar is from Justin Cohn, while Nathan Pence contributes the bass. Bailey's plan is to continue to write, record, and collaborate with fellow writers, producers, and musicians.

Lyrics of “See Ya Next Time” by Zach Bailey

Darling, the flowers you left me

Aren’t dead yet

I like how they remind me

Of something different

 

‘Cause that’s what you told me

Before we said goodbye

Now I’m done crying

Cause maybe you were right

 

What if you said:

“Not now,

Maybe in a year or five

I’ve got some growing I oughta do with my life”

You’ve got your dreams

And I’ve got mine

I hope it’s not farewell

It’s see you next time

 

I know we weren’t perfect

But gosh darn we tried

To keep the fire going

But what’s burned wouldn’t light

 

Now I’ve been in the darkness

Since you left

I feel a spark yearning

In my chest

 

What if you said:

“Not now,

Maybe in a year or five

I’ve got some growing I oughta do with my life”

You’ve got your dreams

And I’ve got mine

I hope it’s not farewell

It’s see you next time

 

Though this chapter has ended of our love story

Where we ride into the distance separately

I’ll think about you often in golden memories

See you in a year, or twenty…

 

What if we weren’t meant for:

“Right now,

Maybe in a year or five

I’ve got some growing I oughta do with my life”

You’ve got your dreams

And I’ve got mine

I hope it’s not farewell

 

What if you said:

“Not now,

Maybe in a year or five

I’ve got some growing I oughta do with my life”

You’ve got your dreams

And I’ve got mine

I hope it’s not farewell

It’s see you next time

Featuring Attitude – Slow Fiction, Burning Jacobs Ladder, and Dog Race

       This post features three songs in which attitudes and emotions are “worn on the sleeve.”

     “Monday” carries the appeal that drew us to Savages, the Post-Punk band fronted by Jehnny Beth. Savages are no longer together, but we will take “Monday” over the potential of anything new. The lyrics are fast paced and intelligent. The percussion is skillful and the vocals are committed to the message.

 

     Slow Fiction is based in New York, NY. The members are Julia Vassallo (vocals), Joseph Skimmons (guitar), Paul Knepple (guitar), Ryan Duffin (bass), and Akiva Henig (drums). “Monday” is one of five tracks that will be on their EP “Crush,” which will be released on May 24, 2024 via “So Young Records.

Lyrics of “Monday” by Slow Fiction

I am a subsidiary

of my own sadness

I’m hoping to find

some clarity, I think

about vintage videos

things that used to make me happy

my little socks with cowboy

hats, scary films & things like that

 

I am a subsidiary

of your daddy’s capitalism

your thoughts traded for pennies,

well they used to make me happy

you write your bodega lollipop tragedies

like my broken toe, on your skinned knee

 

It’s a Monday and

I’m going to find

some clarity cos

I can’t stand

this ordinary living

No I can’t stand my

fake inner peace

And I can’t stand

my bad energy

 

So get out

Get out

Get out

baby get out

while you can

make your plans

cause I can’t stand

my fake inner peace

 no I can’t stand

my bad energy

anymore

 

I am telescopic illusion

turning into fractions of myself

the meaning of joy is whenever you’re laughing

I was born in a pool of blood

I am a remnant of my youth

the meaning of time is whatever I make it

My love is an overflowing bag of laundry

My friends are the dust bunnies

in the corners of my bedroom,

sometimes I bite my lip

sometimes to taste the blood

 

Well, it’s a Monday and

I’m going to find

some clarity cos

I can’t stand

this ordinary living

No I can’t stand my fake inner peace

And I can’t stand my bad energy

 

So get out

Get out

Get out

baby get out

while you can

make your plans

cause I can’t stand

my fake inner peace

no I can’t stand

my bad energy

      Australia-based Burning Jacobs Ladder is the project by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jake T. Johnson. While explaining “Deer In The Headlights,” he said:

     "The song is about the pressures of adolescence in the modern world. It’s having the weight on your shoulders to constantly feed a mortgage, rent, bills, cars, repairs... It’s how those pressures start taking priority over your aspirations and passions. I don’t think anyone is fully prepared on how to deal with these responsibilities until they hit you in the face."

 Lyrics of “Deer In The Headlights” by Burning Jacobs Ladder
Breath away you’ve seen the worst
Feel like I wanna run
Just breath it in the loss of worth
I’m a fool like I never was
 
Hold me closer now
I’m a deer in the headlights no way out
Hold me closer now
I’m a deer in the headlight no way out
 
Doubts they speak to shatter dreams
To a life slowly killing you
End the man to end the thoughts
No more ideology
 
Hold me closer now
I’m a deer in the headlights no way out
Hold me closer now
I’m a deer in the headlight no way out
 
Hold my hand
Every dawn I feel we should walk away
walk away I, I know we should run away
Leave the rats to play
 
Hold me closer now
I’m a deer in the headlights no way out
Hold me closer now
I’m a deer in the headlight no way out

     London five-piece Dog Race unleash their latest single 'It's The Squeeze', a cold-sweat invocation of modern anxieties and personal suffocation. The members are Katie Healy (vocals), Jed Finkelstein (drums), James Kelly (guitar), Will McNabb (bass), and Dillon Willis (synth).

Lyrics of “It's The Squeeze” by Dog Race
How many studies, have aided your dysfunction
I’m in pain over here, and I can’t get a dog’s attention
It's a mutual understanding, that your bluey takes the winning
And I must download a squeezy app, to cure my suffering
 
Oh no, he won’t leave me alone
I owe my life to him, it’s just the situation
If a park run makes me bleed and cry
Then why suggest a marathon
I call it alone time with fiber glass insulation
 
I know that it’s my fault, but then it’s not
But then it is, but then it’s not, but then it is again
 
It’s the squeeze, it’s not the love
It’s the squeeze, it’s not the love
 
A budding rose bush is bursting into season
European nightcrawlers are itching for a feeding
Sawflies haunt the rosa peace, they ponder what is destined
She wonders if she’ll ever breed or shortly follow nature
 
Oh no, he won’t leave me alone
I owe my life to him, but it's just the situation
If I wage a war with life, I’ll never make a parent
I call it alone time with pesticide chrysanthemum
 
I know that it’s my fault, but then it’s not
But then it is, but then it’s not, but then it is
But then it’s not, but then it is again
 
It’s the squeeze, it’s not the love
It’s the squeeze, it’s not the love
It’s the squeeze, it’s not the love
It’s the squeeze, it’s not the love
It's not the love [Repeating]

“Silver Stain” by Maudlin Strangers – A Song Feature

 

     With “Silver Stain,” Maudlin Strangers engage in another dark exploration of the complexities of human emotions. This time, this song intelligently delves into the difficulties of a troubled relationship. Their other 2024 release, “Don’t Worry, I’m Fine” addressed burnout and the need for recovery. That release is also included in this post. Late last year, Maudlin Strangers tackled the subject matter of addiction and the resulting inner conflicts and turmoil.
 
     The first verse of “Silver Stains” is misleading in its description of a willingness to be led and molded into shape. But the second verse pivots to a less appealing description and the third goes even further by declaring:

I’m sick and tired of playing games with you

All the losing streaks you put me through

That’s just the luck of my draw

 
     Maudling Strangers is the brain-child of Jake Hays, who is based in Los Angeles. Originally, it was a solo Indie Rock project, but Hays added members as a touring band. After a hiatus that started in 2016 and continued into 2023, Maudlin Strangers re-emerged as the combination of Hays, Richie Gonzales (drums), Alexander "Schmorgle" Morgan (guitar, keys), and Drew Bruchs (bass).

Lyrics of “Silver Stain” by Maudlin Strangers
I’ll go wherever you take me
Follow however you make me
Lost souls dance in a daydream
I’ll go wherever you’ll save me
 
Sweet like a honeymoon
But I lost my sweet tooth
The flavors making me crazy
 
I’m sick and tired of playing games with you
All the losing streaks you put me through
That’s just the luck of my draw
 
You’re like a sunny day
If it starts to rain
And washes away
That golden sky
 
Like a silver stain
You won’t go away
It’s all just the same shit we did before
 
Why’d you have to go out and change me?
I wish I wasn’t someone you know
Tattooed the words you’ve been saying
But I wish I wasn’t someone you love
 
Our songs weigh on me, lately
But I keep them playing on repeat
Losing control is our safety
So we keep driving the same street
 
All your mirrors and smoke
Are making me choke
The glass in my throat
Won’t wash it down
 
You’re silver in my veins
You make me insane
Doing all of the same shit we did before
 
Why’d you have to go out and change me?
I wish I wasn’t someone you know
Tattooed the words you’ve been saying
But I wish I wasn’t someone you love

 
     In discussing “Don’t Worry, I’m Fine,” Jake Hays said:
  “I wrote this song about dealing with a burnout I experienced, and how I needed to recover from it. I took a long hiatus and always kicked myself for it, but I realized it was all necessary to make it to the point where I am now, mentally. Sometimes you have to give yourself time to reflect to figure out truly what it is that you want, and what will make you happy.”

     “Don't Worry, I'm Fine” by Maudlin Strangers

Lyrics of “Don't Worry, I'm Fine” by Maudlin Strangers
Headstrong
I found out by dealing
So long with my own damn head
I′m feeling so wrong
Forgotten by my own self, yeah
 
I'll be honest
(I′ll be honest)
I needed the time to know what I wanted
(What I wanted)
Whatever it is I think I'm on it
(I'm on it)
Tired of running back
 
Don′t worry, I′m fine
Funny how
It's been a long time coming
Yeah, it′s been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
 
Settle down
I know just how you′re feeling
Bad sounds made by anxiety
It's so loud
I hear it with my own ears
 
I′m being honest
(I would hope so)
You need to make time for your honest self
Whatever it is, I think you oughta try
(Just give me a minute)
Stop running back
 
Don't worry, I'm fine
Funny how
It′s been a long time coming
Yeah, It′s been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
 
Don′t worry, I'm fine, now
Funny how
It′s been a long time coming
Yeah, it′s been a long time coming
It′s been a long time coming
Don′t worry, I'm fine, now
It′s been a long time coming
It′s been a long time coming
Don′t worry, I'm fine, now
It′s been a long time coming

"We're Lost" by Little Oil – A Song Feature

 

     The initial 21 seconds of “We’re Lost” share the tonal personality and charm of the guitars in The Beatles’ “Blackbird,” despite the melodies being fundamentally different. Then, the complexity and skillfulness of the instrumentation leap forward into the second part of the intro of Little Oil’s song. This two-part introduction establishes high expectations, and the entrance of an engagingly distinctive voice only serves to raise the bar higher.
 
     Still, there is more to the appeal of the song than guitar and vocals. Shortly before the one-minute mark, the harmonica enters with a warmth and elegance that aren’t inherent to that instrument. Similarly, “We’re Lost” showcases the ukulele played with the adroitness that isn’t typical.
 
     Victor Mitrani records under the performance name Little Oil. While talking about “We’re Lost,” he explained, “Very pretty finger-picked folk tune at least initially inspired by an attempt and ultimate failure, at moderation. Getting lost on a whim and paying the ultimate price for it.”
 
     “We’re Lost” is a song from the album “Twelve Songs,” which was released on March 28, 2024, on Fountain Tapes Label. On the album, multi-instrumentalist songwriter Victor Mitrani is the vocalist and plays guitar, bass, piano, harmonica, ukulele, and percussion, although Mike DeVito provides the bass for “We’re Lost.” “Twelve Songs” is available via the Bandcamp site of Little Oil – CLICK HERE.

     Mitrani was born in Mexico City, but Little Oil is now based in the San Francisco Bay Area (Richmond, California). He is described as “A lover of Punk, Classic Rock, Indie, and old time Country & Blues; his music is a voodoo brew that sounds both familiar but fresh and original.”

Lyrics of "We're Lost" by Little Oil
Just a little and I want it
Put my head in the light socket
 
It was easy to fly
After so long
Oh even I can't see
That I'm lost
 
Dumped the river of ice on it
Burnt that bridge but I'm still on it
 
It was easy to sigh
After so long
Oh even I can't see
That I'm lost
 
Just a little and I want it
Put my head in the light socket
 
It was easy to die
After so long
Oh even I can't see
That we're lost
 
Lost, lost, lost, lost
Lost. Lost, lost, lost
 

“In My Kingdom” by The Bogmen – A Song Feature

     "In My Kingdom" offers a rare fusion of sophistication and unfettered entertainment. It possesses the ability to grab the attention of listeners, urging them to prioritize checking out The Bogmen's tour schedule immediately; the song encapsulates everything that makes a favorite among gig-goers. It's intelligent yet uncomplicated, and is substantial yet exuberant and full of life. It's akin to a 1960s muscle car that can kick into another gear (or two) even after seemingly reaching its peak performance. Those extra gears are engaged after the three-minute mark of “In My Kingdom.”
 
     The Bogmen begin the song with a recipe for Utopia. Initially, the thought might be that it’s similar to John Lennon’s “Imagine.” But “In My Kingdom” doesn’t imagine that there’s no religion. To the contrary, the intro lists personalities from various faiths whose advice would be valued, although not necessarily for their views on theology. Moreover, there is a King; however, “In my kingdom, everyone would be King for a day.” Still, this potential Utopia has no law, since there isn’t a need.
 
     The band was originally formed in 1990 by lead singer Billy Campion and bothers Billy and Brendan Ryan. By 1992, bassist Mark Wike, percussionist P.J. O’Connor, and drummer Clive Tucker were added. The Bogmen disbanded in 1998. But they are now working toward an album release in May. “In My Kingdom” is the title track. The album can be pre-ordered at via Bandcamp https://thebogmen1.bandcamp.com/album/in-my-kingdom. The Bandcamp site explains:
   “This is the first ever vinyl release by The Bogmen! Written in the heart of the pandemic as a way of coping with the loss of a good friend as well as being inspired by the unusual circumstances of the world being shut down - In My Kingdom, has everything fans of The Bogmen love about them, it is melody driven, poetic and seamlessly goes from sounding old-timey and rootsy to orchestrated and electronic, Americana with an ethnic flare, lyrical themes of grief, love, rebirth and transcendence through imagination, populated by old friends, animals and colorful mythological characters yet intensely personal so people can relate to it.”
 
     Bandcamp also lists credits. Clive Tucker and Mark Wike contribute to songs on the album, but the primary contributors are:
  Billy Campion: lead vocals, guitar, baritone ukulele
  Brendan Ryan: keyboards, accordion, trumpet
  Billy Ryan: guitars, mandolin, banjo, backing vocals
  P.J. O’Connor: percussion, backing vocals
  Paul Frazier: bass, backing vocals
  Mathias Bossi: drums, omnichord, marxophone     
 
     The official video for the title track is almost as entertaining as the song itself. Interesting information about the video includes:
   “The animated music video ‘In My Kingdom’ was created by Jack Powell (Opus Thimble, Hot Mustard). Musically, the song is classically Bogmen-ian, but could be considered a bold proclamation in today’s fractured times - a message of inclusion that reminds us of our universal desire for openness and kindness, one that illuminates a path forward. A path to the sacred, precious and always hard-earned love, compassion and understanding that has characterized The Bogmen’s music for more than 30 years.”
   “Jack Powell created a hypnagogic video by extracting album artist Gregory Stovetop’s artwork and turning it into animation. Campion and I discussed various religious iconographic images, natural and spiritual concepts with Gregory, as well as, like the Star Wars Bar, were all a little freaky and different. He nailed it with the album art and Jack took his work, ran with it to create this amazing phantasmic video.”- Billy Ryan

“Close Enough” by Stress Dolls – A Song Feature

 

      “Close Enough” embraces dualities, notably in the vocals and the lyrics. The lead vocals convey an emotional vulnerability with a passionate fearlessness in a vocal register that invites listeners to join. In comparison, the song from Stress Dolls is sprinkled with an almost angelic declaration of “I can’t keep running” in a challenging-to-join, high-register voice, where vulnerability resides in the voice, rather than the words. It’s an impressive combination from Chelsea O'Donnell.
 
     When initially focusing on the lyrics (included in this post), “Close Enough” comes across as a confession of the devotion to a romantic interest. There is a warmth in relating to the desirability of the romantic attachment, assuming it’s a mutual attraction. Then, reading the Stress Dolls’ explanation of the lyrics increases the relatability, but destroys the warmth. Celsea O'Donnell says that the song was primarily motivated by the isolation most of us experiencd during the “Covid lockdown:”
   “I wrote ‘Close Enough’ in the midst of the pandemic, a period where I didn’t see some of the people who mattered most to me for weeks at a time. On a subconscious level I think that inspired the lyrics in the chorus about being “close enough” to someone, but the other half was me thinking about the process of falling in love, and how you can be so wrapped up in another person that, no matter how physically and emotionally close you are to them (“even if you were a part of me/ even if you were alive in me”), it doesn’t feel like enough to express how you feel.”
 
     The credits for “Close Enough identify O’Donnell as the providing guitar and the vocals. Other contributors are Sean Dougherty (additional guitars), Jim Wirt (bass), and Jacob Kirkwood (drums and synth). The song was produced by Jim Wirt, whose past credits include Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, Fiona Apple, and Incubus. It's the fourth single from my upcoming album “Queen of No.” The album is coming out on Sun Pedal Recordings in May 2024.
 
     Stress Dolls is the moniker of Chelsea O'Donnell, a songwriter from Buffalo, New York. The band takes on several forms, including solo O’Donnell and a performance-ready “full” band.

Lyrics of “Close Enough” by Stress Dolls
I can’t keep running
I can’t keep running
So we walk, we walk, we’re straddling the line
Between our thoughts and biding too much time
 
I can’t keep running
I can’t keep running
 
Stand down demons, we’re breaking even
I’ll give you my word if you hand me the knife
Twisting shoulders, we’re all getting older
 
So we walk, we walk, we’re straddling the line
Between our thoughts and biding too much time
And even if you were a part of me it would never be
Never be close enough
 
So we walk, we walk, we’re straddling the line
Between our thoughts and biding too much time
And even if you were alive in me it would never be
Never be close enough
 
Waiting softly, for someone to save me
It feels so wrong now but once I felt it was right
It only takes a second for us all to figure out
That no one’s coming and that’s what it’s all about
 
So we walk, we walk, we’re straddling the line
Between our thoughts and biding too much time
And even if you were a part of me it would never be
Never be close enough
 
So we walk, we walk, we’re straddling the line
Between our thoughts and biding too much time
And even if you were alive in me it would never be
Never be close enough
 
I can’t keep running
No I, I can’t keep, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t…
 
And even if you were alive in me it would never be
Never be close enough

“All She Was” by Midwave Breaks – A Song Feature

 

     Reviews of “All She Was" have been posted, and there are comparisons to the storytelling style of classic Bruce Springsteen and modern-day Sam Fender. And we agree; there is an uncommon intelligence in the lyrical description (the lyrics are included in this post). But from the vocal and instrumental perspectives, our comparisons are to Kings of Leon and the guitarist of U2 (“The Edge”). The vocal comparison is most apparent at the start of the song from Midwave Breaks. On the other hand, the chiming timbres through echoing notes, which are perhaps most aligned with The Edge, shine through during the final 30 seconds of “All She Was.”   
 
     Midwave Breaks are a New Zealand duo generating an expansive sound. They are based in Tauranga and comprise multi-instrumentalist Bruce Conlon and drummer Paul Russell. In April 2024, Midwave Breaks will tour with Incubus. For tour information, visit https://www.facebook.com/midwavebreaks/events.

      The band explains “All She Was” as “essentially a love song from lead singer Bruce to his wife and daughter,” with a ‘positive energy, hooky chorus, and a rousing instrumental outro.” The song is one of three tracks on the recently released album “Standing Inside Out.” While the tracks may have been recorded in a farmhouse in rural New Zealand, some were mixed in the U.S by Grammy Award winning engineer Mark Needham, most notable for his work with The Killers (Mr. Brightside) and Imagine Dragons.

Lyrics of “All She Was” by Midwave Breaks
Could you come a little closer
The streetlights here are the same
They're winding like a river moon
Coming over the horizon
 
The cascading line of people's lives weaving through
The stories told, are the difference
The difference between me and you
We're in this ember light again
 
Into your arms again
We are the storm
Could you turn it down just a little?
Just give me one more day
Cos I'm falling asleep again
 
You are the vespertine, the sophrosyne
And I could catch you in the tallest tower
Just to see you again
 
And all she was, was the best thing I ever knew
Like a tidal wave of the sun
And she never was, anything but the best to you
This ember light
We can make it home just me and you
You and me
 
Coming over the horizon
With the memories slipping back
The journey we made, making up a pattern
Sinking in like Tupac
And I won't even take it back
 
And the way home is pulling me, pulling me back
And I don't even know where I am
But I can feel, I can feel, the pull of the sun and the moon
With the gravity, gravity at my back
 
And all she was, was the best thing I ever knew
Like a tidal wave of the sun
And she never was, anything but the best to you
This ember light
We can make it home just me and you
You and me
 
We can make it home just me and you
You and me
[Repeating]
 
We can make it home just me and you
