What I can only describe as a wide screen/cinematic pop sound, Los Angeles based band Little Red Lung deftly combine strings, piano, electronic elements and the honey toned voice of lead singer Zoe-Ruth Erwin into a intoxicating concoction. 50 Fingers is the lead single from their self titled EP.
Being a big fan of Thomas Azier and his brand of electronic pop, it’s always a pleasant surprise to see a new track up on soundcloud. This track is from his upcoming EP, Hylas 002 (10/23/12). Forewarned, it does take about a good minute for this track to really surface from the sonic abyss of the intro — but it’s worth the wait.
Lyrics:
Fire Arrow
Longing for the green fields that I once walked
Dreaming ’bout the easy life that I once lost
Left everything behind and now I miss home
Living life romanticized is a lost cause
Longing for the dream fields that I once crossed
Dreaming ’bout the city life that I once lost
Left everything behind and now I miss home
Time has been floating by and now it’s all gone
Pull my boat slowly through the sand
Burning hope floating from the land
Out to sea I come home again
Burn my boat I’ll be gone
Wondering about how our roads crossed
Don’t want to be guy that you once loved
Left everything behind and now I miss home
Difference between day and night then it got all lost
Pull my boat slowly through the sand
Burning hope floating from the land
Out to sea I come home again
Burn my boat I’ll be gone

Wazu – Councillor
Lyrics: COUNCILLOR
I sat beauty on my knee,
She’d disappointed me
So I told her how to be
That she’d insulted me
Magistrate you’re stained you’re stained
Emperor you’re stained you’re stained
Take your time,
Make sure it’s all that you can find.
Carve a line
And get on the right side
Something got a hold of me
A greater force than me
I told her then and there we’ll be
A pair indefinitely
Bend the line
Make sure it’s harder to define
Compromise
Gets you on the right side
Magistrate you’re stained you’re stained
Emperor you’re stained you’re stained
Councillor you’re stained you’re stained
