Amaze Yin Simply put, the chord structure is haunting and calls to my soul. The male/female dynamic shines most here. Favorite track: Passing Through.
Gurdonark

Gurdonark In appealing male/female harmonies, this duo sings evocatively of vignettes not fully defined, over melodies quite fully-formed. This is music from the golden canyon between dream pop and power pop. The listener would sing along, if he or she could find the third note to form each chord. Tactics is energetic alternative pop that is not at all tame or twee. Favorite track: Widow's Box.

Carterista 02:02
You think you’re gonna gonna pull my rabbit You think you’re gonna picka pick a card Whether it comes out of need or habit I hate to hate to see you try so hard You’re lookin’ for someone like me who isn’t watchin’ for someone like you You’re lookin’ for someone like me but I’ve been watching for someone like you. You think I’m gonna gonna watch them tango while I never ever feel your hand When I look at you, ya know that I know that these things are going “not as planned” I’ve been watching for someone like you.

Widow's Box 02:01
Sneaking through a secret door Gotta keep discreet for sure Two years -­‐ I gotta wait listen through the metal grate Peeking out between their legs Cannot let them see my face You know how they’re bound to talk Put me-­‐ in the widow’s box Oooh ooooooooooh ooooooh Wearing black from head to toe Wouldn’t wanna steal the show Two years that I gotta wait and listen through the metal grate (You know) if I was the first to go I bet they’d sit him right in the front row ‘Cause you know how they’re bound to talk (so) Put me in -­‐ the Widow’s Box.

Control 01:55
Take it to a higher hire when the places on the lower fill in You can move a mass of flights to meet her but you lose your lot in line again (and again) Out there, out where the thoughts aren’t like your own Beware of what you know was overblown You can make a big production (in the street) or you can You can try a coo to get in—-­‐ but you Can’t go hiding in the air shaft cuz the rattle Rattle gonna do you in (in the air) Up there, up where the sounds are not your own Aware they’re everywhere while you’re alone Away from all the things that were your own Away from all the things that you were owed Away from all the things you can’t control (anymore) (Take it to a higher hire / lose your lot in line again / You can make a big production (in the street) but the rattle rattle gonna do you in (in the air…)

Two Boys 01:58
She ceased to sing she touched her head She left the stage they ceased to play She left behind a husband and two boys

Ambassadors 03:19
I’m gonna find a little time The place? I barely care We’ll figure out the where Once – we are there Somewhere-­‐-­‐ no one knows us Don’t think they’re really gonna care Dunno how to say it So just smile while you pay it Seeing what we’ve never Bein’ where we’ve never been Better get things together Best guess: what will the weather be? Let’s be—diplomatic While en—thusiastically We play— casa in a Castle, looking down upon a See the – looks we’re getting Don’t care— there’s no fitting in Outside and keeping quiet We are a tiny embassy ahhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhh
6.
In On It 01:57
Watch out for the counterfeits Everyone is in on it Yes I’ll follow you off the street and taken to Ooh, a little room look at you you’re bulletproof Watch out for the counterfeits Every one is il-legit Now avoid the eyes make a deal and say goodbye back into the sun looking for another one (Everyone is in on it Everyone is in on it)
7.
No—body home The two of us were talking the other day—now they’re gone—who can say It’s easier pretending they never were anyway Can’t even recall what was said with someone not living or dead Hiiiiiiiiiiiiigh—over me I thought I heard a plane on its way out to sea—Looking down knowing, now, that they are about to be never found Something’s washed up on the shore Not so disappeared anymore They left behind So many houses They say thirty-­‐thousand No—body home The lights are all off and the drapes—are all drawn—Soon as they decide you’re gonna disappear you’re Disappeared anyway

Pari Passu 01:41
An offer 93 percent had signed She wants to honour you but both her hands have been tied Form a circle, come to pick the bones A robe can order it but She can never be owned. Pari Passu Pari Passu By number seven it was no surprise The rules were set and yet you still adhere to your lies (so) go and tell them it’ll all be fine The hedge you hide behind, I swear it’s gonna be mine mine mine mine mine...
9.
(th’) cars are fast The nights are long and we don’t understand The words they say but that’s okay ‘cause we’ve got nothing planned It’s not a secret but no one knows it We hope to keep it ‘til we have to tell and show it ‘Til then we can pretend (th’) sun is down with so many drinks so let’s go for a ride We’re unafraid to take on the city lights for one final night
10.
The middle doors are higher for the platforms they will meet While those— at the ends downward seem to bend for people on the street To climb aboard make way toward a scarlet leather seat and then — sitting down we tunnel under town an engineering feat One hundred years and those that you would hear but never ever meet

Starlings 03:52
(instrumental)

(It) wasn’t always this way Sometimes we couldn’t be reached for days Gone are the times full up with busy ‘til the eyes shutter up and block out the city Tune out the noise and turn up the signal Louder the better (with) Nothin’ to bring me down Tell you what I have found You lose the time it takes to come down Butt of the day, huggin the road until the door opens up and arms mean I’m home Tune out the noise and turn up the signal Louder than ever (‘cause) Nothing can bring me down. (It) wasn’t always this way the calls and comments were kept at bay Back are the times full up with busy til the eyes shutter up and block out the city Tune out the noise and turn up the signal Louder forever (‘cause) Nothing can bring me down Nothing can bring me down

Check Out 03:00
Say— we don’t get home we’ll need a place— of our of our own Then— I know somehow we’ll find a way a way— to get by To get by ba bahh ba bahh ba bahh ba bahh ah ahhhh— to get by
