Make strange Love & then War.

SINCERE apologies for the appalling lack of updates recently.
But here it is! The completed 2nd EP: "Make strange Love & then War" and boy, lemme tell ya, it's a doozy. Here's a short breakdown of the tracks:

Track 1: "54 days since I wrote something":
The title gives it away but I've had a bad couple of months behind me, trying to push anything down on paper and getting, well jack-shit basically. So this is me being cathartic, nagging a bit and ultimately telling Caroline (a writer-friend from Mackay, Australia) that I can't do it alone anymore.

Track 2: "Bukowski's "Women":
I did a lengthy piece on this song on my blog so I'll just say two things: Thing One: Have you read "Bukowski's "Women"? If not read it. Thing Two: Have you been to Berlin? If not go. Gogo.

Track 3: "Girls named Jezebel":
I wrote this song a few years back on the fly inspired by things that happened with previous girlfriends, just 10 minutes of rambling out words and blaming a girl from the bible (and ultimately everone else).
This song and the next one ("In the candlelight") are both pretty much recorded live-in-studio to maintain spontaneity.

Track 4: "In the candlelight"
It's a lovesong, that's all.

Track 5: "Kids, don't die bored"
It's almost hiphop and I suppose between this song and "Lily Allen" on the previous record I've flirted with that genre more than once. But I just love it when there's too many words in a song to simply sing it and with that kind of flow you can't rely in just a few words to convey a feeling. You have to tell a story or (in this case) preach a little. So I preach here and the ultimate message is: don't stop moving, at least not until you know that you're in a place where you're ready to make roots.

This CD has a slow vibe to it, there's a lot of acoustics and downright depressing lyrics (although I've tried to sprinkle some optimism throughout). The next record will be a response to this, no doubt about it. It'll be bigger, louder and faster.

Uh-huh, Radio will take a short break now (musically), possibly over the summer and when I come back I guarantee (full-on, 100% refund) that the next album will be rock'n'roll in attitude, tones and rhytm. Big guitars, cocky productions and guests galore. Stay tuned for that and have a great summer! Unless of course you're aussies and in that case have a really awesome mild winter!
