Blue, red flies hang in the cold
My eyes leave it alone
Blue, red flies hang in the cold
My eyes
In slow motion, I can't stand still
Currents of colour splutter and spill
In concrete towns, a silent chill
A freight train moving against my will
I lose myself to earth and time
And sentences that do not rhyme
A misstep soon becomes a crime
In the vacant night
Vacant Night
In slow motion, I can't stand still
Currents of colour splutter and spill
In concrete towns, a silent chill
Against my will
I lose myself to earth and time
And sentences that do not rhyme
A misstep soon becomes a crime
In the vacant night
Blue, red flies
I've come undone
I'm afraid of everyone

A Wall

Enveloped in green
A little girl crunches leaves
Clutching her mother tightly
Through the oak trees
Venturous, no care
The boy with sunflower hair
Shadows his closest friend
Calling for her then
Broken, strange discourse
Voices behind a wall
Structures, patterns, routines
Eyes on phone screens
The sour sound in my head
Makes him weep as I undress
Bite his lip when he draws in close
Tighten my grip, wooden and cold
Nerves are bad tonight
Stay with me a while
Tell me what you think
About anything
Why do you never speak to me
Why do you never speak to me

voice + guitar + space (silence) around the notes = a mix of (sadly defunct) Mira and (s.d.) Sundays. Superb.

Sweden's Catharina Jaunviksna, aka Badlands, creates gently glowing '80s-inspired pop - think of it as new wave in pastel rather than neon.

There's lots of depth and sunken low-end to the spiraling space rock made by Mint Field, augmented with twinkling electronic flourishes.

This Seattle group make classic and beautiful dream pop full of lush textures and dynamic songwriting choices

everything is alive
by Slowdive

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans
