i’m a hero on a losing streak
trying to catch you in your only dream
your presence is killing my mind
and your help is never helping me
but it’s alright
it’s alright
i don’t need you in my life
who shot the devil
who locked me in
i want to find myself in the eye of the storm
i want to find myself in the eye of the storm
i’m observing all your evil tricks
i am faithful to this mess i’m in
your presence is killing my mind
and your help is never saving me
but that’s alright
it’s alright
i don’t need this in my life
i don’t need you in my life
who shot the devil
who locked me in
i want to find myself in the eye of your storm
i want to find myself in the eye of your storm
shoot the devil
shoot the devil
he’s been playing games
inside my brain
shoot the devil
shoot the devil
i will hunt him down
into the fucking grave

Seperated

right down to my ankles
all of me is fading out
keep it on the low now
‘cause you don’t know the story and the plot
applaud as if i’m famous
tell me that i know what’s right
suspicious about my leadership?
you don’t know the story and the plot
time goes by
while the heavens open up
don’t mind me
falling back into your loving arms
what’s keeping us together
is drifting everyone apart
keep it on the low now
as if you know the story and the plot
the tension is outrageous
you whisper that we’ve seen it all
if you can’t admit your failures
you won’t get the glory after all
time goes by
while the heavens open up
don’t mind me
falling back into your loving arms

Truth

truth
got me lying to you
got me falling from grace
losing your faith
look
i’m a two headed fool
who can’t play by the rules
scared of your looks
truth
this pill is a hard one to swallow
you think i’m good but the inside is hollowed out
letting you down
it’s a seasonal low
could be taking the blow
look at me now
truth
this pill is a hard one to swallow
you think i’m good but the inside is hollowed out
letting you down
truth
this pill is a hard one to swallow
you think i’m good but the inside is hollowed out
letting you down

The Alarm
02:49

rest in silence
or rest in a box
like an island
we’re drifting apart
i’m not even under the impression
i’m part of it
please come up with any other answer
or deal with it
just a sidenote
a fast ticking bomb
i’m not violent
but i’ll ring the alarm
i’m not even under the impression
i’m part of it
please come up with any other answer
or deal with it
i’m not even under the impression
i’m part of it
please come up with any other answer
or deal with it

Godspeed to the Freaks

can’t shake this feeling off my chest
all i want is not to mess up
don’t know if i still know you best
and when i try i fail your test
godspeed to the freaks
i won’t fall
i will follow
i fake the rhythm, fake the steps
can’t even stand on my own legs now
and when we laugh we will be dead
the weight will always crush my head, first
godspeed to the freaks
i will fall
i will follow
you were only waiting to get sentimental
you were only whispering the wrong words

Devil's Lair

i found shelter
in the devil’s lair
here comes another weight
let it pull me under
it’s by default
we bend and break
is it the truth you can’t explain?
it’s by default
we’re built to break
is it the truth you can’t explain?
i found shelter
in the devil’s lair
sure i was honest
but that only drags me down
it’s by default
we bend and break
is it the truth i can’t explain?
it’s by default
we’re built to break
is it the truth i can’t explain?

Plastic Gun

staring down the boulevard
i’m young and restless
and filled with love
strolling through your cul-de-sac
i thought i had it
but now i'm lost
the sidewalk lighting up my path
i love the silence
but now i’m stuck
i love the silence
but now i’m stuck
usually I have the faith
and a plastic gun
lurking in the dead of night
like an alien
i can’t believe i lost it all
for your bitter love
keep telling me i’m restless
keep telling me i’m restless
restless
staring at you from afar
i’m young and restless
and filled with lust
luckily we’re far apart
‘cause boy i’m selfish
and all is lost
oh boy I’m selfish
and all is lost
usually I have the faith
and a plastic gun
lurking in the dead of night
like an alien
i can’t believe i lost it all
for your bitter love
keep telling me i’m restless
keep telling me i’m restless
restless
usually I have the faith
and a plastic gun
lurking in the dead of night
like an alien
i can’t believe i lost it all
for your bitter love
keep telling me i’m restless
keep telling me i’m restless
restless

true surrender
come through to me
blue the moonlight
let the city ease into sleep
but oh
baby take a look around
is this love for real?
the closest thing i’ve found
but that’s just how i feel
nothing else matters now
it’s more than a teenage thrill
but let me tell you this, without a doubt
is how i feel
my mind, a feather
it’s light to the touch
turn to face and i’m
on the steady wave of us
but oh
baby take a look around
is this love for real?
the closest thing i’ve found
but that’s just how i feel
nothing else matters now
it’s more than a teenage thrill
but let me tell you this, without a doubt
is how i feel

feeling alright
as a cure for this pain
a way to sustain the heart
before it crashes again
telling you lies
from the back of my head
staring into the light
from the edge of the bed
wrapped up in disguise
still feels like you are following
wave at my back and know that i know the feeling
driving you out
through my lungs and my veins
winning a losing war
without moving my face
hearing your lies
is no cure for my ache
it only sustains the lust
i’m crashing again
wrapped up in disguise
still feels like you are following
wave at my back and know that i know the feeling
wrapped up in disguise
still feels like you are following
wave at my back and know that i know the feeling

jenny is like any other insect
she sucks the blood out of my brain
she sucks all of the blood out of my brain
all of my reasons are distractions
i can’t even follow it
i can’t even follow them myself
the tighter i hold the strings
the more that it returns
the more that it returns
the more that it gets back to where it hurts
the wider i spread my wings
the more that it returns
the more that it returns
the more that i go back to where it hurts
tell me if there’s any other motive
so i can stand the bitterness
so ican stand the bitterness at last
all of my questions are pretentious
i can’t even tolerate
i can’t even tolerate myself
the tighter i hold the strings
the more that it returns
the more that it returns
the more that it gets back to where it hurts
the wider i spread my wings
the more that it returns
the more that it returns
the more that i go back to where it hurts
jenny is like any other insect
she sucks the blood out of my brain
sucks all of the blood out of my brain

i can hear you through the walls, sylvia
i can mend your broken heart, sylvia
could you please stay here some more, sylvia
and you know i know it all, sylvia
i could save you from yourself, sylvia
keep a light on in the dark, sylvia
i can send you to a place, sylvia
where the hard times never came, sylvia
could you please stay here some more, sylvia
cause I know I’ve gone too far, sylvia
there’s no lie left in my soul, sylvia
and I know you know it all, sylvia

Klangstof Amsterdam, Netherlands
In the aftermath of recording their (still officially unannounced) third album, Amsterdam alternative formation Klangstof (Koen van de Wardt, Wannes Salomé, and Erik Buschmann) weathered an inspiring but emotionally-taxing storm, recording their most open-hearted, sonically ambitious material yet. This became Ocean View a four-song release that offers a candid glimpse of the band’s wavelength. ... more

this was the best decision ever made. thanks for this album!

Less obviously shoegazey than the debut, but has a really abrasive industrial or post punk feel which contrasts well with the vocals. Reminds me of Curve or maybe early Cocteaus. Lovely stuff

everything is alive
by Slowdive
supported by 6 fans who also own “Godspeed to the Freaks”
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans
