Doom And Bloom

icepickscotsky Has always shown glimpses of being more than a tasteful imitator of styles, but this EP proves it. The first track could easily be a progression of the reverb-heavy goth sound from previous records, but subsequent songs blend in melodic elements of jangle, dreampop and shoegaze. This more expansive craftsmanship has led to a more unique-sounding Desmond Doom, and it's a great listen! Favorite track: Cold.

lyndastevens This mini Album from the melancholy surfer from Melbourne, seems to be in character.

Business as Usual is fast paced with strong base and jingly jangly guitars, vocals in world weary tone. It is followed by Ghost, then Cold and Lover's Song, the themes being heartache and alienation. Then follows Make me Feel Something: yes, this is scarcely original on its sentiments, Joy Division and early Cure got there first, of course they did, but you might suspect that there is a lot of tongue-in-cheek

Everything seemed calm, Everything seemed fine. Then you opened up your eyes. Sometimes the frog boils slow, Sometimes it's thrown on coals. Then down the hatch it goes. The same old story today, The same as yesterday. The same old story today, The same old game that we play. The same old story today, The same as yesterday. The same old story today, The same old game that we play. You miss the boring times, Took for granted quiet lives. Those big, old, cosy lies. Have you forgotten where you are? Have you met the people here? Are you so surprised my dear. The same old story today, The same as yesterday. The same old story today, The same old game that we play. The same old story today, The same as yesterday. The same old story today, The same old game that we play. 00:0003:14

Ghost 02:26
There's an outline next to me. That's where you used to be. I took a plane and seven trains. But still it won't go away. I never got to say goodbye. Don't worry I'll be just fine. I never got to say goodbye. I hope you had a lovely life. With time it fades away. It gets better everyday, they say. Things'll never be the same. But still the movie plays. I never got to say goodbye. Don't worry I'll be just fine. I never got to say goodbye. I hope you had a lovely life.

Cold 02:26
I'm so cold, I'm so bored. The phone it rings, I ignore. My bags are packed, Waiting for the day. Looking for a reason To fly away. It's so cold, here next to you. It's so cold, when you're in the room. It's so cold, what do I do? It's so cold, here next to you. All the things I loved, Don't feel the same. No desire To hear you call my name. For both our sakes, Every night I pray. That you give me a reason To fly away. It's so cold, here next to you. It's so cold, when you're in the room. It's so cold, what do I do? It's so cold, here next to you. It's so cold.

Lover's Song 02:26
Years go by, going through the motions, jaded. I get by but I'm see-through, worn and faded. Still I try, climb the mountain watch the distance. You stop by, please be an angel, I'm done with demons. You and me, we're just beginning but we'll see. If it's meant to be. Me and you, it'd be so nice if we make it through. I hope we do. Something here, feeling like I'm young again. I want you near, be my lover, be my dearest friend. Don't be scared, I see the scars and I've got them too. Stay right here, I mean what I say, I do. You and me, we're just beginning but we'll see. If it's meant to be. Me and you, it'd be so nice if we make it through. I hope we do.

Make me feel something, don't be a bore. But don't be a housefire, I've been there before. Just a little loopy, a little less than me. Please be a painter, paint things for me. Please push my buttons, just the way I like. I'll bite your shoulder, just the way you like. I'll be the rocks, you be the waves. Crash over me, I'll never break. Make me feel something. Make me feel something. Make me feel something. Make me feel something. 00:0002:29

Give me a simple life, With a little dog, a garden and a lovely wife. Work for a peaceful home. Whispering wind through trees, No need for the grandeur of Rome. I feel the sun on my face. You're sleeping sound in my embrace. Far away from the machine. So far away, You and Me. Not sure if God exists, But if He does, He's smiling when we kiss. Let's get drunk and dance, In the living room, Old t-shirts and no pants. I feel the sun on my face. You're sleeping sound in my embrace. Far away from the disease. So far away, You and Me.
