So far spring has been very interesting for me…. Went back to visit family in America, came back to Liverpool and fell into a small slump. On and off back problems, sicknesses and some (questionably unhealthy) isolation. But! Coming out of it currently and so happy for it :)
I wanted to share the songs I have been enjoying the most this spring. I originally wanted to make a playlist but I admittedly don’t listen to a big enough variety of music to do that. Enjoy!
Thanks Nicole for originally sharing this artist with me! This album is perfect for spring. That transitional period from dark to light/clouds to sun. Their instrumentation sounds like bees humming & their vocals sound like that of a dear friend. So happyhappyhappy! love this album.
I played alive and mistake once a day in April, often in the morning time. Honorable mention is their song “I don’t want to hold you back from doing everything you want to, whenever you would like to” but I can’t listen to it too much it gives me ‘ I feel my stomach and chest too much it makes me uncomfortable’ kind of sadness. Only special occasions.
‘nightcore vampire cyborg princess’ is by far the best album I have found in the past year. It is has officially gone on my top 10 favorite albums of all time, I cannot recommend it enough. Fuck it, top 7. Honestly, probably top 5. Favorite lyric from the album is “blink emoji go the hardest”
My walking to work song.
One thing I really love about this song is how it builds up. When the vocals come in you really feel it! It gives me exciting tummy butterflies, lovelovelove.
love u stef mwah
Tell me you love me came out three weeks ago! I am so happy to share this song with the world, it is so near to my heart and I hope it can grow that same relationship with others. It is a letter I wrote to comfort myself in a time I felt that I couldn’t accept it from others.
Me and my friends went out to the beach on a super windy day to record the music video. There wasn’t really a direction for it and all previous ideas got lost once we started recording. The weather was so intense that the sand pelted us and burned my skin. It was all worth it though and made me feel so whole. Thank you Daisy, Joeb, Lewis and Ace for enduring 2 hours of discomfort for it.
Tell me you love me reminds you that you always find your way back home, a way back to yourself. Hope you all enjoy.
My first blog, yay! Crooked teeth is going to be out once this site is announced. I am so excited for everyone to see the music video I have been working on. It’s been an idea for months so it’s so wonderful to have it finally come to life!
I have been working on this site for the past couple of months but CSS kicks my ass a bit so it took longer than expected hahahaha. I kind of still don’t completely know what I’m doing so apologies if u come across some imperfections on when exploring it. There is so much I want to do with this site but I need to be patient with myself, I will make sure to update if anything new or exciting appears here.
[about crooked teeth] I originally released this song when I was 17, when I first wanted to start up casual blood service (but then I kind of neglected it for a bit when I first started college haha). Then I felt embarrassed about it for a while, and kind of just all of the music I was making tbh. I’m glad I got over it, and releasing this has helped as well. I knew I wanted to release it after My Secret Friend because those two were the two songs that made me want to start Casual Blood Service and felt like ‘casual blood service’ songs to me. If you remember the old version, I still have it up on my band camp and the old music video is here . The music video imagery came to me in a dream , specifically the second half of the song. The new version isn’t completely different, just a bit more refined and more accurate to my relationship with the song currently. Shout out to eden for giving me my tascam 4-track for my bday bc that’s what most of the song was recorded on.
Crooked Teeth has always been a transformative song for me, which is why it is so special to me although it is quite short and simple. Although I wrote it abt an incel originally (lolollolol) it now feels like a love letter to myself and my own insecurity surrounding my teeth.
Special shout-out to Stefan, Maya & Raye for helping make this single possible.
