about

NGLYS perhaps best epitomises the album-running sonic theme of natural, pure, organic acoustic instrumentation juxtaposed against very un-human, synthetic sounds and noises. It’s built around a squelchy, sequenced modular synthesiser hook, which squeals away alongside soft, felt piano chords, harmonies from singer-songwriter and collaborator Mazlyn, and a four-to-the-floor, disco groove.
The track is lyrically influenced by Don Delilo’s novel ‘White Noise’, and is about medicating against fears (and the futility of seeking to bury such things). Musically, it’s informed by Jai Paul, Jon Hopkins, Sylvan Esso, James Blake.

lyrics

Need to find a potent distraction
Occupy my mind
Drown me out
Erase all doubt
Never gonna leave your side
Never gonna leave your side

I need to incite a reaction
Ease my restless mind
Call my name
Absolve my blame
Never gonna leave your side

I only exist as your promise
I can never be your design
Drown me out
Erase all doubt
Never gonna leave your side

Calling out for you now
Calling out for you now
Calling out for you now
Calling out for you now

Keep away from the light
Out of reach and sight
Air and watertight

Keep away from the light
Out of reach and sight
Air and watertight
