Big Black Cars

Dark glasses behind blacked-out windows
They drink champagne with no care
The chauffeur’s sent out in the driving rain
To ask directions to “somewhere”
There’s a place, a secret base
They speed they need to get there
Smiling locals tip their hats
And vapourise into thin air
it was the year that the strangers came
big black cars down little leafy lanes
There’s a shrine, a little altar
in a lay-by on a busy road
no-one knows just how it got there
but it’s left by some unwritten code
There’s a candle, plastic flowers
some incense and a card
dedicated to a driver
who hit the brakes too hard
it was the year that the strangers came
big black cars down little leafy lanes

We still miss
JOHN PEEL
We LOVE
old movies,
We ADORE Zoo, Postcard, 4AD & Factory Records.
We OBSESS over the Triffids,
We YEARN for the Liverpool Scene in the '80's
We SWOON over those bands from the Thames Valley in the 90's
and yes . . .WE STILL REALLY MISS JOHN PEEL.
Here's our music .....

if you like shoegazing and slightly dreamy goth, you might have a listen, what Ian did with a guitar still wipes me out to this day

O.S.T. to the Strangest Party Ever

Our mate Koenig does some pretty ambient soundscape stuff too, but Bandcamp is the perfect home for his catchy retro electronic stuff.

April Love / Downfall (2 Track Tape-Only Release)
by Spellbound
First time as a band in a studio, a product if it's age, a full baggy beat with a sonic guitar layered throughout. If you like Lush and the Cocteaus you might want to have a listen.
