Broken
02:57
|

|
Broken noose in the park
Etiquette flowing like blood
Candle bearing vigilantes
Roaming the streets, hot on your heels
Broken noose, you’re on the loose
The mayor will prosecute without fail
Flailing arms in armoured cars
The boat you own refused to set sail
Ooo
Broken wheel, seductive deal
The bidder will not accept defeat
Spending nights in supermarkets
Feeding thoughts, refusing to eat
Ooo

Coming Up Roses
02:45
|
|||
|
Hard to muster courage
When disaster hits home
Look forward to nothing
But being alone
You’re coming up roses
With stems in your hair
You’re climbing that staircase
Your conscience unmanned
Way to land a job like that
You’re gaining all your dignity back
Oo we saw you growing
No way you’ve been thinking of me when
Carving up roses
With barely a care
Seem so damn precocious
The petals so bland
Coming up roses
With stems in your hair
You’re climbing that staircase
Your conscience unmanned
Carving up roses
With barely a care
Look so damn atrocious
With nettles in hand

Sandstorm
03:09
|
|||
|
Lost in a sandstorm
A mirage is sought for thee
Spitting mirror image
Is all that we might see
Gone long time ago
These walls melt like snow
Point of view is wasted
On everything you used to know
The sunshine whisks along the bank
You just can't refrain
Your pain is on the brink
Until winter comes
I will hold you tight
And circumnavigate your clothes
Til you find where we grow old
You're gonna go alone
You say you are here
Lost in a desert sandstorm
You say you are here
Lost in a desert sandstorm

Shadows of a Maniac
02:31
|
|||
|
In the shadows of a maniac
You sow the seeds of doubt
In the shadows of a maniac
It’s worth a shot to get out now
Oh, I’m feeling fine
Oh, I’m feeling fine
You took approach without caution
A forward leap to expected doom
A frantic claim of coercion
A toxic cloud spreading throughout your room
You said your piece without mention
Of anything that you did
The satisfaction’s with me now
I bet you wish you had quit
Oh, I’m feeling fine
Oh, I’m feeling fine
I don’t want your money
Let me go
I don’t want no paycheck
Let me go

The sweet taste of disdain
In the course of remorse got me thinking,
‘How am I gonna back it up
I been down on my luck all this time’
A quick dismiss with a kiss
And a pat on the back
In the cab that we were finally able to hunt down
Acting insane in mundane situations got us through the night
I copped an earful of your attitude
In the dead of the night
There’s no way I’m coming back
If you treat me like that, no way, no way
Ah, I don’t wanna go
But I’ll probably have to
Ah, I don’t wanna leave
When them plans they undid
Broken glass feels insidious
Rapidly bathing in insipid deliriousness
Blinding headlights exciting, inviting
And shamelessly reeling and dealing and feeling delirium
Ah, I don’t wanna go
But I’ll probably have to
Ah, I don’t wanna leave

Riot
04:13
|
|||
|
Walking alone
Past her window
His sinister thoughts
Out of place
Look at her now
In the bathtub
A slither of hope
On her face
All I really wanna do
Is take a further swig
And start another riot
Creep to the edge
Incrementally
Sweat dripping down
On the slate
The depths of unknown
Seem so deadly
But you keep turning your back
On your fate
Made another mistake
But all I’m gonna do
Is start another riot
Hanging about
With the flightless
Belittled in life
Show of faith
They’re letting you go
Cross the mountain
They’re all laughing although
It’s a race
Maybe I’m disgraced
But all I wanna do
Is start another riot

Everybody’s walking down the street
Thinking everything looks so depleted
Find in time
You’re lonely, pony
Your stormy brat pack lacked reprieve
Soon to be you’ll be superseded
Find in time
So lowly, pony
Greeting no survivors in the car park
When the flood stops
We will get along
Greeting no survivors in the car park
When the blood clots
We will get along

Remember the pain
Though it's highly illogical
The danger's at bay
Cos it's highly illogical
Sleep even though it's impossible
Dream just like an imposter should
Sleep end the pain-riddled night
Sleep end the pain-riddled night
Savor the flavour
Your savior awaits you
Keep losing car keys
And treading on embers
Sleep even though it's impossible
Dream just like an imposter should
Sleep end the pain-riddled night
Sleep end the pain-riddled night

Nobody Gets It
02:51
|
|||
|
Nobody gets it
When you’re the loner
Nobody gets sick
When I’m with you
Nobody loves you
When you’re the moment
But sure do I do
I cling to the tallest of trees
Indifference puts me at unease
Loaded questions outsourced by design
Tainted visions sure are ill-defined
Nobody gets it
when you’re the loner
Nobody gets sick
When I’m with you
Nobody loves you
When you’re the moment
Nobody must miss you
The compass points north on rare occasions
The idiot’s back when you’re around
Domestic chores in isolation
Despite going underground
I cling to the tallest of trees
Indifference puts me at ease
Loaded questions outsourced by design
Tainted visions surely can’t be mine

Reflections
04:04
|

|
Seeing reflections in mud
Relocation gets the nod
Seeking patience not the rot
Dealing aces takes the lot
Ooo where did you find the gun?
Ooo where did you find the gun?
Rear-view horizons there to spot
Centuries of rabid habits
Falling through the cracks
Falling through the cracks
Running for dear life
Without a sure cure in your sights
Ooo where did you find the gun?
Ooo where did you find the gun?
Sensing reflections there in mud
Relocation gets the nod
Seated patients, thickened plot
Double aces takes the pot
Ooo you’re falling down the wrong hole
Ooo you’re falling down the wrong hole
Ooo falling down the wrong hole
Ooo

Triple Sec
02:32
|
|||
|
Here in your arms
My only desire
Is to come back round
Tomorrow
How could you walk out
On what we had
We’ll be so sad
Tomorrow
Running for the hillside
Til you find another triple sec
In your front garden
Running from the sheer sight
Of a distant memory long gone
Torn from your cheque book
Running for the hillside
Til you find another triple sec
You might suspect it’s
Just me
Oh it is just me
And a bottle of Double Black
Just me
Oh it is just me
And a bottle of Double Black

Point of View
06:08
|
|||
|
Monotonous frights and fines
You look alright for these testing times
Cutting all ties with your past
Adapt, sit back and relax
Everybody springs to life
When you walk into the room
Well I’m no trouble when the lights go out
Everybody leaves inspired
When your back’s against the wall
An agitated, tainted, know-it-all
Stalling time with past regression
Standing orders in quick succession
Destructive nursery rhymes
Point of view nearing your prime
Everybody springs to mind
When you open your book
Well I ain’t here dear, you really ought to see clear
Everybody springs to life
When you walk into the room
Well I’m no trouble when the lights go out
Stately phoney
Flee your homeland
Lately lonely
Flee your homeland
Stately phoney
Wasted romance

Dan Webb Melbourne, Australia
Dan Webb exists in a state of constant evolution. Since emerging with his debut EP in 2009, he has erased lines between genres, combining psychedelic atmospheres, electronic experimentation and classic songwriting into a kaleidoscopic sound all his own. Exploring the avant-garde while retaining a pop sensibility, his music is as enjoyable as it is thought-provoking. ... more

Only Love From Now On
by Carmen Villain
I stumbled across Carmen's music purely by chance recently. She won me over instantly. Beautiful, abstract, ambient, textural work. Take a dive into her world, you won't regret it.
go to album
About a decade ago I bought Deerhoof's entire back catalogue 20 seconds into hearing "Secret Mobilization" for the first time. I've remained a huge fan ever since.

The Algorithm Smiles Upon You
by Move 78
A modern jazz album for modern times from this Berlin-based outfit. Relaxed instrumentals, with a humorous yet relatable title to boot. What's not to love?
