Don Lolo La suite du très bon "songs about music" est de qualité. Peut-être moins inoubliable que son prédécesseur mais ça fait plaisir de retrouver ce très bon groupe d'électro pop Favorite track: When We Were Old.

oh i never had a fight in my life oh the kids i knew never had a choice here in the middle of the floor with your headphones on here all the girls, all the girls are watching cnn on the bar tv for a second i forgot there was a war on for a second i forgot there was a war on oh we sleep in the daytime, go out at night oh burnt all our notebooks cause they told too much here you've changed your hairstyle so many times here lived in a brownstone, moved to the ghetto for the cheap rent for a second i forgot there was a war on for a second i forgot there was a war on oh the way you move i forgot there was a war on for a second i forgot there was a war on i like the look of your face, i like your uniform i like the sound of your voice, i'd like to see you alive again i like the look of your face, i like your uniform i like the sound of your voice, i'd like to see you alive again

cornfields sing we were born here so if there's nothing left then we're to blame no one leaves and no one gets out the bodies change but the faces stay the same and it feels like a little bit of downward motion that pulls my feet away from here all the people we loved were just friendly ghosts i'm only happy when i'm far i'm only happy when i'm far away from here friday night we saw the bright lights and the girls doing shots in the parking lot are our friends everyone you know is still here if there's no morning the party never ends and it feels like a little bit of downward motion that pulls my feet away from here all the people we loved were just friendly ghosts i'm only happy when i'm far i'm only happy when i'm far away heaven waits for those who need it the rest of us got bored and moved away look ahead you'll see the same thing while the past grows smaller every day and it feels like a little bit of downward motion that pulls my feet away from here all the people we loved were just friendly ghosts i'm only happy when i'm far i'm only happy when i'm far away i'm only happy when i'm far i'm only happy when i'm far away i'm only happy when i'm far i'm only happy when i'm far away from here i'm only happy when i'm far i'm only happy when i'm far i'm only happy when i'm far away

Only Again 03:22
i was wounded in your war got a broken purple heart on my sleeve i left here for the coast came back to feel the ground where my blood lay only friends, i know, i know and only this time oh it's so much better when it's only just this once more, and then only again oh it's so much better when we're oh i stumbled on the way got lost between your bedroom and mine and now you're here to push away the sun to push away the focus, focus only friends, i know, i know and only this time oh it's so much better when it's only just this once more, and then only again oh it's so much better when we're only friends, i know, i know and only this time oh it's so much better when it's only just this once more, and then only again oh it's so much better when we're oh only again

High Tide 04:06
if you want we could leave tonight pull up our stakes and take the clothes on our backs drop all our records at the nearest army post quit our jobs sell the car we'll dance better with our pockets empty and our boots worn thin high tide / leave the house, leave the phone empty / leave everything that we own we need / to learn to be alone high tide / there's nothing left but the door empty / sick and stuck to the floor we need / something else, something more oh oh oh i know you said goodbye to the streetlights you said goodbye to the north side you said goodbye to the shore i know you said goodbye to our old friends you said goodbye to our new ones you said goodbye to the shore well we met some kids and we played the part and we met some girls and they broke our hearts and the same beat going on and on and on and on well we met some kids and we made some art and we met some boys and we broke their hearts and the same beat going on and on and on and on high tide / leave the house, leave the phone empty / leave everything that we own we need / to learn to be alone high tide / there's nothing left but the door empty / sick and stuck to the floor we need / something else, something more oh oh oh

i woke up in the city i woke up without a plan met a girl met a true one fell in love and fell apart now we're stuck in a new cage now we're bored of being us broken down but just empty comfortable like a song i wrote i'm tired of being young let's get out of this country lets get out of this bar here's a map here's a new life we can go we can go tonight i'm tired of being young this party's over, i know
9.
if i die before the next new year let no one say i didn't try too little, too late, with my heart in the right place found the right place next to you draw a line from the house where we met to the next big thing do our paths intersect (nothing!) i was only joking but there's nothing left but psychiatry and love songs and all the girls, all the birds, singing you're so and we're so sweet i know and we're so sweet i know, i know, i know, i know, i know and if we live forever in some computer in the cloud everything we worked for, everything we made will mean nothing maybe it did anyway
10.
well you called me yesterday when i was sleeping so i listened to your message in my room if i told you everything you might believe it but all i could say was 'be home soon'

about

The second full-length from Coltrane Motion takes the Chicago duo's dance-and-drone formula to the next level, smothering sunburnt melodies in a haze of distorted guitar and swirling organ. Fuzzed-out drum loops and analog synths tear through the thick shoegazer fog, leaving behind a raucous mess of pulsing, noisy psych-pop.
