We've also got another guest to talk to. We'll be talking to the Norfolk bass group Crying in Colour a little bit later on because they are playing Future Fest, which is a music festival happening in Norwich this weekend. And we'll find out a bit more about that from there. And we'll also play their new single. We've got the first player of the new track from Myopia.

I'll actually know before we do that. The whole reason I played the car is this is reality, sorry, I shouldn't explain it. Is I was looking on Instagram earlier and she posted a couple of days ago that the music video for that track won an award as part of the Big Trouble Little Pictures Total Art annual film festival that happened at Cambridge Junction. Now this was last year. Um and she's only recently realized that it won. Um or only recently posted about that it won. So belated congratulations to Kara that your video, this is for This Is Reality, uh, won uh that particular film festival, and that is why we're playing that track. It's been out a while. We played it on the show uh last year originally. Right, let's move on with this track from Grace Calvert. I saw her play live at First Light Festival at the weekend, which was a very enjoyable little trip to Lowestov last Saturday. I'll tell you more about it in a minute after this. This is her latest, it's called New Shirt.

SPEAKER_06

Every time you're looking at me, you can make my life complete Sweet me off my feet Even I heard you were going out tonight Didn't plan on staying up, but I guess for you I'm right, Luchet, short scat, I'm gonna be overdressed. Our friends are in legends, but I'm trying to impress. You often iron light, and you look me in the eyes. All of my social skills, they die. Here come all those butterflies. Go to the bar to kill some time, cause I'm too nervous to take hide. I'll hide behind my glass of wine and hope that you will not.

SPEAKER_05

You are every time you looking for me, you can know my life can't be. Sweep me off my feet.

SPEAKER_06

You don't even know to me. Oh wow, I found you standing next to me. Asked how I was said that you heard my song on the BBC. You talk, I thought this is my dopamine. You smile and touch my hand. I forget how to breathe. I've got your number in my phone, and I'll be waiting for your call. Even if there's other plans, I'm prepared to drop them. My friends will think I've lost my mind. Cause I keep laughing at your jokes. They're not that funny half the time. I just want you to know you are a bit.

SPEAKER_05

Every time you can love while I come in, sweep me off my feet.

unknown

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_05

Love it when you smile at me, break this when you look at me. I think you should be with me, be with me, marry me. Love it when you smile at me, break us when you look at me. I think you should be with me, be with me, marry me. This is kind of stressing me, giving me anxiety. I think I should stop this now. Stop talking, stop talking.

SPEAKER_12

That is Grace Calvert, and the track is called New Shirt. It's available for you now. Uh, I didn't pay attention to that properly when I was playing it on the show last week. I didn't notice just there. So there is a mention of uh BBC in there. Well, Grace, you could have done another version because NMG, BBC, same number of syllables. My song on NMG. Maybe maybe next time you're in the studio, uh you can uh you can rectify that for us. Uh uh so as I say, I saw Grace at the First Light Festival last weekend. The first time I've been to the festival, it's happened been happening for the last couple of years, and we've had a partnership with First Light through the NMG Awards for the last number of years, where they've um kindly put on an actor that we've chosen through the awards on their new dawn stage. So I thought I'd better get myself over there. So me and Alex went on a little jolly day trip on Saturday over to Lowest off. Um it's about a two-hour trip two-hour trip each way uh from where uh me and Alex are both play. So it was uh it was a little road trip and the weather was beautiful, a little too hot at that time. Um but we stayed there for a good few hours through the afternoon and into the early evening, and we saw um Charles for Good who were this year's an MG Awards selection act on the New Dawn stage and got to catch up with those guys after their set. Then we wandered off and we found Grace Calvary and she did a half an hour sort of acoustic set. And uh then we went back to the New Dawn stage and we saw Ollie Harris in his band play live. So that was nice, and amongst a few other people that we bumped into and people that stopped and said hello. Um really enjoyable festival and definitely will be back again in the future. Congratulations to the organizers of First Light for another successful year. Uh now if you want to send your music into the programme, you all you have to do is send us an email.

SPEAKER_32

You're listening to the New Music Generator with Tim Willet.

SPEAKER_12

So this is what exactly uh Jess and Deck have done. They say, We hope you're well attached as our brand new single, Caught by the Dawn. We wrote this song in Mount Muagi. Probably pronounced that incorrectly because it's summer in New Zealand and everywhere in New Zealand's got difficult to pronounce place names, but that's what we're gonna go with. Uh when we were on our big trip there at the very beginning of this year. Jess lived there for a year when she was about five or six years old, and her family did a big trip out there for a year as her late father had a family there, and she absolutely loved it because of this. It's a very special place for her family. So, as well as all finally going back to where we lived at the end of 2025, 15 years on from when we were last there, it was also special for me to be able to take Dick and show him a place that is important to me. We explore the beautiful town of Mountie, where I used to live, but also couldn't stand the idea of not playing our music whilst we were away. So we bought a second hand guitar from Facebook Marketplace on the other side of the world and played on the beach almost every night of our trip. We planned on selling it there before we flew at home, but as you do with guitars, we got far too attached and ended up very expensively flying at home with us. And as it became so sentimental, this is the song we wrote on one of those nights. At the beginning of the song, it even includes a little voice note we made as we began writing it on the beach. The song itself is nothing too fancy or crazy. We already feel like our songwriting has grown and evolved more since we wrote this back in January, and there are many more songs we're excited to share, but we felt as only right to release this one. It's a pretty gentle chill-out song, which to us sounds exactly like how it felt to be next to the New Zealand C perfect little capturing of those moments for us. We hope you'd like it. We'd love it if you could give it a spin. Alright, I'm cranking up the record player. Let's give us a spin. This is Jess and Deck and Caught by the Dawn.

SPEAKER_01

Right, Jess and the Deck brand new original writing on the beat. We're we're writing on the beat for Matt Montana.

SPEAKER_19

Before it's fine, I like shit, mountain and stay.

SPEAKER_12

A beautiful track that really does fit in with the weather that we're having at the moment in the UK. What if they've been to a Suffolk beach and recreated those memories? Yay, that is Jess and Deck, and the track is called Caught by the Dawn. This is the new music generator featuring emerging artists from across East Anglia. Jess and Deck being from Suffolk, uh, as is Grace Calvert, the first artist that we played on the show today. We're now heading over the border into Cambridgeshire to play you a new track from the Irish musical maestro Ben Mulholland, aka Mulholland Jive. Uh built around a rotating lineup of talented players. The Mulholland Jive project expands into a vibrant nine-piece band bringing Ben's lively blend of instrumental jazz and folk and rock. The band have a strong live reputation with appearance in the children jazz festival, E. The Art Festival, and Cambridge, along with headline shows of the John Pield and the information. This track is out on Friday the 26th, ahead of a live kick at the plow engineer with this Saturday where you can see Marlon Jive and the band play live. This is brand new, it is called Mojo. Love that. That might be my favourite Moholl and Jive track today. That's gonna go random around my head. Uh that is Mojo from Moholl and Jive. It's available for you from Friday, and you can see them play live at the plough in Shepbroth with no entry fee. All you need to do is go along and buy lots of drinks. Um and apparently they'll be on the outside bar. I did see the plough of um of Turn themselves. Around for outdoor uh stuff for the uh foreseeable future. They've got a lovely outdoor stage there and a good beer garden. So uh if you are lucky enough to be down there on Saturday, I wish I could go, I really do wish I could go. Uh then um yeah, have a have a lovely time. And if you see a lady dancing around a little bit too overexcited with pink hair, then that is Alex Elbro, and you can tell her from me to sit down and calm down if she gets too over excited. Um Holland Jive and Mojo, like that a lot. I'll definitely be playing that again on the show over the next few weeks, that is for sure. Coming up, we'll be talking to Crying in Colour, a uh Norwich based band who are part of the lineup for future fests that's happening in Norwich this Sunday. Uh but first, let's head over to Essex to meet Zack Potter, an artist who we have not yet played on the programme. But his very first email that he sent began with the sentence, I'm a big fan of yours. So if you send me any email that says that as the opening gambit, I'm gonna at least continue to read. And I did. Uh Zach is an Essex-born singer-songwriter whose journey started with pop influences like the Kooks, John Mayer, and Bob Dylan. He's now exploring heartfelt indie songwriter sound, infused with artists such as John Mayer, uh, again, Paolo Natini, and Jake Bug. His music speaks about love, nostalgia, and old memories. He has been on a UK tour of the Foodies Festival, opening up for the likes of Scouting for Girls and Blue. Uh, you can catch Zach in and around the local bars and folk clubs in Essex. This is Zach Potter, Z-A-C Potter, and this track is called City Lights.

SPEAKER_09

That I've got a go. It's you I'm thinking of It's you that I've been stuck. I'm burning in the water. I want you to be my family. I'm gonna tell them you're my one isn't she loving She might be with somebody I don't really care about it girl I want that you are on my mind I say it all the time You never listen to what I say So it's time to say goodbye Goodbye burning in the time Command me of someone I want you to meet my family gonna tell them you're my wife Do real life something in the eye isn't she loving She might be with somebody I don't really care about it girl I want you Short but sweet for very good nice introduction to Zach's music hopefully he will send us some more that is Zack Potter and the track is called City Lights.

SPEAKER_12

If you want to find out more about Zach than he is on all the social media platforms on Instagram, his handle is Z4CP0TT3R, and he is Zach Potter on TikTok. Inboxing new musicgenerator.com. That's exactly what Zach did to get in touch with us, and he's found himself on the show a couple of weeks later. I have to say though, that was only two and a half minutes long that song, so I did only get two and a half minutes of air con. Um so I need to play longer songs, I think, today. Uh it is very hot here in the UK at the moment. Record temperatures for June today. I do have a little air conditioning unit which I've been moving around the house with me to wherever I've been uh during the day. And it's currently behind me, uh down here venting out of the window, which means the window's open, and you might be able to hear children playing in the background, which is a little bit annoying. Uh, but hopefully you can't hear those. Um, but yeah, every time a song's on, I'm putting the air conditioning um machine on, but two and a half minutes is not long enough, so we need to find some longer songs, I think. But we're not gonna find them with this next act. Uh, this is the new track from Voyage, and it's always lovely to play something from Voyage, always put a smile on my face whenever we do. Um, this is their new track, which is called What Does Love Feel Like? And it's taken from the band's album Boogie in Space that comes out on Friday, the 26th of June. Uh, should say uh a sad departure from the band recently announced that uh Tom, the band's guitarist, has uh left the band by mutual consent. So uh they're down one member, although they'll probably replace him sooner rather than later, and to be honest, there's enough of them anyway. Um I don't think uh I don't think you'd necessarily notice. It's about 300 people in uh Voyage, I think. Um but this track is um one that was written last autumn, and it was written about wanting to create a song that simply made people feel good. Carl, who's on Leave Vocals, came up with a chorus and melody, whilst Maisie's trumpet melody changed the whole dynamic of the track and gave it a new energy. Ollie helped shape the lyrics, as he only seems to come up with good lyrical ideas before 12pm. It was absolutely imperative we had the chorus written before then. Finn had the drums and percussion down before the first chord was played. Matt added the synth solo and key change. We recorded it in just two days before mixing and mastering it through a two-inch tape to capture that classic 70s sound. After sitting on it for nearly a year, we're finally ready to share it, and we think it might be our best song yet. Well, I'm excited by this then, because I have latched on to a few Voyage tracks and really, really love them straight away. Uh, Carousel being my current favourite Voyage track, I think. So let's see. I have not pressed play on this yet myself. So let's see what we think. This the band say might be their best song yet. You can have it streaming in your ears on Friday. This is what does love feel like from Voyage? The key change was the cherry on the top of the cake. That's Voyage and What Does Love Feel Like? It's available as part of their new album that's coming out on Friday, and they have a gig, the Three Wise Monkeys in Colchester, with support from the amazing Dan Sutton on Friday, the 7th of August, where they'll be showcasing music from their new album, Boogie in Space. Tickets are £7.50, doors are at £7.30. You can go and find details on their Instagram exhibit voyage and you'll find the ticket info that you need there. I have got that date penciled into my diary. If I can get myself over to Colchester or dance my way over there, uh then I'd love to come and see that gig because I think it would be rather fun. Right, we are half an hour into the programme.

SPEAKER_32

You're listening to the new music generator with Tim Willet.

SPEAKER_12

You are listening to the new music generator. It's time to chat to a band who we have been featuring on the show for about a year, actually. It was June 2025. We were first introduced to Crying Colour. Hello guys. Hi. How are you all today?

SPEAKER_36

Very well, very good.

SPEAKER_12

Doing good. Um tired. I won't keep you very long, but I think you're all together for are you rehearsing tonight?

SPEAKER_33

Yes, yeah, just had our practice, made some noise.

SPEAKER_37

Ready for the waterfront.

SPEAKER_33

Ready for the waterfront, yeah.

SPEAKER_12

Nice. And where do you rehearse?

SPEAKER_33

We're at our studios. Pretty much we think we are.

SPEAKER_12

Nice. That's in Norwich, yeah. Brilliant. So, as I say, June 2025 is when I was first introduced to you guys as a band. I have been playing Kara's music for a while before that, but I don't know the rest of you. So, how about we start with you introducing yourselves and what your role is in the band?

SPEAKER_36

Um, I'm Kieran and I play bass. And I'm not just I play guitar and vocals.

SPEAKER_33

And I'm Cara and I do need vocals.

SPEAKER_12

Brilliant. Um so the band has been around for about a year or so, is that right?

SPEAKER_21

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_33

Yeah, it kicked yeah, it kicked off with our first song in as you mentioned, time in June. And then our first actual live performance was actually at Future Fest um at uh at Breakmakers, and that was August. So yeah, just about yeah.

SPEAKER_12

Brilliant. And the primary reason I've got you on is to talk about Future Fest. So you've been invited back for a second year running, that's good.

SPEAKER_33

It is always a good sign. Yeah. Like that was like we got it. Um but yeah, no, it'll be it's it'll be a great day, so we're excited to be back.

SPEAKER_12

Cool. Um, so how did the band form? What's the story behind you guys?

SPEAKER_33

Well, it was basically an it was it's like so join my band, which is almost like online dating but for band members, people looking to join projects or to create projects. Um and our then bassist at the time put a uh ad out for people to just wanting to jam, and then it kind of yeah, we we had a few rehearsals, these guys invited me a bit later on um down the line. I obviously sang folk music and pop music, so I did not think it would work. And then I don't know, it was just so cathartic, and I just thought I have to keep coming back. So um yeah, that's pretty much I think it took us two or three practices to really vibe with each other and they were like, yes, let's keep it going.

SPEAKER_12

So are you looking to kind of diversify then Cara into this kind of uh indie sort of rockier music rather than the stuff you were doing before?

SPEAKER_33

Pretty much them. I think I'm hooked um by this at the moment. I think performing with these guys and performing live is just a completely different ball game than solo, acoustic, guitar. Um there's way more energy and I like that I can explore that side of my music, which is a bit more fierce and more aggressive.

SPEAKER_12

And what's the backstory between the other guys then? Were you in bands before or what what's what's your history?

SPEAKER_37

Yeah, I also play in blank talk, which uh Marcus now plays in blank talk as well.

SPEAKER_12

So incestuous this music scene, isn't it?

SPEAKER_33

I know one family came into like five.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, I'll I I do a bit of touring uh here and there, and I've got a couple other bands on the go, but um these guys sort of message me out of the blue and they were like, uh we uh we need a bass player and do you fancy coming into Jam? I was like, yeah, might as well and uh stuck around.

SPEAKER_33

Yeah, I was very friendly. I'm not very friendly anymore.

SPEAKER_12

Do you have uh do you have to crack the uh crack the whip, Cara?

SPEAKER_33

Sorry, don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_12

Do you have to crack the whip with these guys and keep them in change?

SPEAKER_33

Very possible, honestly. It's very the I they it we are kind of like family vibes now. So I think we give it we give each other about a sec. But yeah, this one is definitely faking things up since we joined the band. We're more fair-off than we used to be. We used to be a little bit more but it's fun, it's exciting, you never really know when you're gonna get cancelled. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12

So they're they're basically living scared each day that one day they might be dropped from the band.

SPEAKER_36

I'm terrifying.

SPEAKER_33

I think so. We could put to a power play there.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, sorry, I'm just giving her an idea. Um So the fur I was I was uh doing some research, whenever I get a band on, I look back at the first time it was that I heard from them, and when we played you. Um I've established I as far as I can tell, we've played every track that you've released in the last year, and I think we're now up to well, you've just sent me another one, so I think that might be the sixth track that we're gonna play. Um but the most recent one as of before today is a track called Stay With Me that you released earlier on this year, and you released um a series of singles uh last year. Is there kind of a conscious decision behind your your release strategies just uh as a new band to put singles out on a regular basis?

SPEAKER_33

Yes. We are trying to be as consistent as we can be.

SPEAKER_30

As soon as we've got them and we feel comfortable with them, as soon as we can, we're in we're in the studio in a lot of riot recently. Yes.

SPEAKER_33

Yeah, we are working on a lot of new stuff. I think we're trying to find because we all bring a different sound to the band, we all have very different influences from metal to clear swift. Um we are very our sounds, our sounds have each been a little bit of an experimentation in their own right. So I think now that we're forming our sounds, we will try and be a little bit more consistent um with getting stuff out there.

SPEAKER_12

I'm gonna touch upon and I'm gonna ask you all individually some of your music tastes because I know that you uh again when one of your first emails to me you said that you describe the band as being a melting pot of different musical influences. So I'm gonna probe that.

SPEAKER_33

I think it's still accurate, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_12

I'm gonna probe that in a minute, but let's let's talk about the sound of the band. How would you describe yourselves now? And maybe w um I guess as you say, you've evolved over the last year or so and kind of found your sound. So what sort of I don't like bands to put labels on themselves, but I'm gonna ask you to where where would you kind of put yourselves at the moment with the sound that you're doing?

SPEAKER_37

I think we always go for like all time. It's a pretty day.

SPEAKER_31

Yeah. Alternative rock's good.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah. I know uh yeah.

SPEAKER_36

Okay.

SPEAKER_12

I'm scared of alternative, but when I ever do the awards each year, I feel like alternative is just a category that I put everybody that I don't know who where to put them in another category. You know, it's like it's like uh a bunch of bands, homeless bands, I don't know where to put them. Um so I I don't like I don't like alternative un unless it's sort of uh you know sort of justified. So I'll adding another genre on the end, Alt Rock is is good. I like that.

SPEAKER_33

We're good with that, yeah.

SPEAKER_12

So in terms of putting you guys on a bill, uh what other bands and they could be local bands or or bigger bands from the from the national international stage. Who do you think would compliment you in terms of your sound now on a on a on a lineup?

SPEAKER_33

Are we shooting for the stars, too? Yeah, we're just saying. We'd say I'd say paramour, because we often get confirmed um kind of compared to Paramour. Um we we did open for mouth culture and readers recently, but they're actually very different to us. We were surprised that we got that one. So I say Paramour?

SPEAKER_30

Yeah, it's a solid one. Yeah.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_12

Paramour. Paramour's good. I like I like Paramour, although they're a band that have changed their sound over the time that they've been around. And they've got in more recent years, they've got like I say, they've gone a sort of poppier direction rather than the the heavier um sound that they had when they when they first started. One of my very first um well it wasn't one of my very first gigs, my very first gig was Sophie Ellis Baxter, but we won't talk about that. Um one of my other earlier gigs that I went to was a paramour gig, and I was so scared to go anywhere near the front, I stood at the back all night because I was worried I was gonna get swept up into a mosh bit.

SPEAKER_33

Oh well I I feel like at a paramour gig, to be in a mosh bit, that's a flex.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, this was this was early paramour, so I I and yeah, I wasn't very experienced with going to gigs, so I stood at the back. I was quite scared. Anyway, um let's talk about you as individuals and your musical influences then, because you say you you do bring different influences to the party, and I do like talking about this with bands, particularly when they do have very varied music tastes, because I imagine that if one of you was to invite the rest of the band to a gig to your favourite band, chances are the other three of you probably wouldn't really want to go. Um are you gonna go with Taylor Swift then, Cara, as one of your main?

SPEAKER_33

Oh, it's so productible, isn't it? But yes, I am. We have we have a Taylor Swift uh we're supporting a Taylor Swift Goes Punk cover band soon at the waterfront, and uh so I've forced these guys to learn a Taylor Swift cover, and we've just practiced it tonight and they hate it every minute, is that fair?

SPEAKER_36

Karen Logged. Yeah, absolutely. I knocked every second.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So it would be Taylor Swift for me, guys.

SPEAKER_12

But it but you're supporting a Taylor Swift goes punk band, so that's like a twist on Taylor's, but I quite like the sound of that. Okay, what about the rest of you then? Name name me one name me your favourite band that you would love to go and see play live. And they don't have to still be going, they can be a band from the past.

SPEAKER_31

I've got top two.

SPEAKER_12

Alright, I'll let you have two.

SPEAKER_31

Alison trains and queen.

SPEAKER_12

Okay.

SPEAKER_31

I got a queen? I went.

SPEAKER_33

Yeah, of course I went. Queen yeah.

SPEAKER_12

Is that Queen with Freddie Mercury or Queen now with Adam Lambert? Okay, Freddie Mercury. Alright. Freddie Mercury. Yeah, okay. Alright.

SPEAKER_36

Um I'll give you a top two as well. Um There's there's too many to choose from. Um if I if I had

SPEAKER_12

Okay, I've heard of neither of those, so I'm gonna guess that you're more of the metal heavy rock end of things.

SPEAKER_36

Yeah, um very much uh just anything like uh my area of musical activities in that genre isn't is is not strong, that's why I've not heard of either of those two.

SPEAKER_12

I'll I'll now look them up though how you how you said them. Um finally I'm curious to see if anything.

SPEAKER_37

Knuckle park and I think I've heard of movement.

SPEAKER_12

What was the other one? Knuckle puff. Yeah. That's a that's a good name, um and so yeah, so it's fair to say that uh it sounds like Queen is probably the most um sort of level level playing field choice that we would get, that the the rest of you the other two, you would go to Queen.

SPEAKER_33

You need a time machine. Okay.

SPEAKER_12

Really? Queen was your your main influence?

SPEAKER_31

It was when I first started playing, yeah.

SPEAKER_12

Okay. Cool. Well that's that's a good choice. I like that as an answer. Um now you guys is about the main reason we got you on is to talk about FutureFest, which is at the Brickmakers um as this goes out, um, this coming Sunday, the uh the 28th of uh of June. It's the fourth year that the events happen, but it's the second the second year that uh that you guys have played. Um talk to me about some of the other venues and gigs that you played in the last year that you've you've been abandoning particularly memorable ones so far?

SPEAKER_33

That's a top local one for me.

SPEAKER_12

We are we are we are time time time flies when you're in crying in colour. But we are halfway through uh halfway through the year, so I I forgive you too uh for thinking that it was last year. You are spoiled in Norwich with the number of music venues that you've got to uh to choose from to play. Um particularly vibrant music scene, is uh you know, you've only got to go back to the beginning of this interview, and some of you mentioned that you are in other bands, and there are loads of bands in Norwich um that are all doing very well. And and and is it would you fair to say it was fair to say that it's quite a supportive music scene that you're all backing each other and there's not any sort of rivalry there, you're all kind of um you know, friendly with each other and support each other on gigs and good vibe.

SPEAKER_33

I think there is a sense of commandary and like everyone that we've uh kind of supported or that we've played alongside. I think we've all had pretty good relationships that we go and watch each other's shows when we can. Um we have a sort of like joke. That's a sort of very competitive person. Um but I'm thinking, yeah, I think we're all we're all very friendly in the scene. We did want to do a co-headline though, didn't we? I think we supported you guys. So we wanted to um do a co-headline and in black black colour or crying and talking?

SPEAKER_37

Something along the colour.

SPEAKER_33

Neither of which makes sense.

SPEAKER_12

That would be yeah, that would be quite fun, wouldn't it?

SPEAKER_33

Yeah. Not only you support you both have a time as well.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, I like that. Not only just supporting each other, but just all of you on the stage at once, just playing each other's music. That would be crazy. Nice. Um, okay, um what else have you got coming up then? We're gonna we're gonna play a track that you've um that you sent me in a minute. We'll talk about that in a second. But gigs wise, this is on the 28th of June. You mentioned the waterfront. Is that is that before or after this the future fest?

SPEAKER_33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12

Okay, so that's that's been and gone by the time this interview goes out, I'm guessing. So that was that was back in time, everybody. That we get back in time. You've got to get the time machine to go back to that gig as well, never mind the queen. Um have you got anything else planned for the rest of the of the summer live-wise?

SPEAKER_37

Not really.

SPEAKER_33

Yeah, we've got a headline in Hun Stanton.

SPEAKER_12

Whoa, hang on a minute. I grew up in Hun Stanton. Where the hell is there to play in Hun Stanton as a band? On the green. On the green? Yes. Really?

SPEAKER_33

It's gonna be quiet outside. You can jump into the ocean afterwards, stage dive into the ocean. No.

SPEAKER_12

I'm not sure about that. When is so when is that? And is that is that part of a festival event?

SPEAKER_31

That's part of a festival event, that's on the 15th of August, I believe.

SPEAKER_33

Yeah, yeah, well done.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, I remember that. Okay, do you know what? I'm actually gonna be in Hunter Stanton on the 15th of August, so if I'm free, I will come and say hello.

SPEAKER_33

Please do.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah, if if only to be curious to see a band play live in Hunter Stanton that I've never seen before.

SPEAKER_33

If we get a good day, it'll be fine. But we are really focused on the music front, so we haven't done as much crafting for the gates um other than festival. So once we get that out of the way, the song releases, we will be picking up a few more venues. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12

Have you got any aspirations for places you would like to play or like venues or locations?

SPEAKER_33

That is true, that is true. They were they were sound opposite. So maybe hopefully on the radar. Even in a tiny little ticket, we'll take that for that. That's the goal. That's the goal. But the menus that we love again, Voodoo's it would be great to be back in Voodoo's and all of them. We really enjoy playing that. Um space are great to us, and I know they just had a little rejoicing. So I hope you'll be back in space too. Um but yeah, in terms of the big stage, that would be that would be fun.

SPEAKER_12

Alright, let's play this um this track then. Tell me a bit about it. It's called Island of Despair.

SPEAKER_33

Yeah, I would say it's gonna be dark. Um, it's a bit of a sort of self-destruction, isolation, heavy, very heavy sound that's not very happy. Um, but we love it with fun too. It was the first one here on the as well. Did you enjoy recording with us? You have to see it.

SPEAKER_36

Uh yeah, yeah, I did. Um it's probably my favourite to play out of the set, aside from uh this new one that we've just recorded. I don't know if we're allowed to talk about it. I just don't know. Um yeah, no, it's it's definitely my my favourite play. It's um Is he this thing? We're all about I keep getting the names confused. Yeah, no, I thought you've got the the other one. Uh yeah, IOD, yeah, that's um that's definitely been that is definitely my favourite to play out the set. Um hopefully I sort of I slotted in uh from you know in the middle you guys already had some stuff recorded. Um but this was like the first proper song I was able to sort of look at and go, well, did my take on it rather than sort of learning it to your last bass players, but yeah.

SPEAKER_12

We're gonna get executed as soon as this call's gone, car is gonna be all over you, yeah.

SPEAKER_33

Karen's no longer in the band, so uh you won't see it again.

SPEAKER_12

SPEAKER_12

Seeing my songs featured on your show has been incredibly encouraging and I wanted to share my newest release with you personally. My new track is called Dululu and it was released at 336pm on the 18th of June I don't know what the significance of 336pm was but anyway we'll continue. Delulu is a high energy pop dance track blending commercial rhythms and playful self-irony into an anthem about believing in yourself before the world does. The song is written by Darcy, Jimmy, Isaac Andchev and Victor Velinov during the BBB Sell Alive songwriting camp and produced by Lisa Keda. The release follows an exciting period for me that has included support from Introducing and UK broadcasters plus playlist support from Grammy U participation in the IVORS Academy and the YouTube songwriting camp in London and receiving the BNR Top 20 debut award in Bulgaria.

SPEAKER_29

This is new from Darcy, a high energy pop dance track and see if we can crack out the dancing emojis for the third time on the show tonight in the YouTube comments this is the Lulu QN Flash people watching me follow me around Sorry on my life can I have denied but I feel real cute in my high heel shoes bothered by a party can't help but want a piece of me like break me chase me to be the no privacy nothing comes for free I'm so leave me alone I'm just a normal girl don't you know I didn't choose this life on my own second illusion what can I do the lulu low low low low low low low low lowest to impress all the turn ordinance me a year that just wanna grab me and me Hollywood said hide it we won't do the Lulu Give me hello I'm just a normal girl won't you know I did choose this life on my own second illusion what can I do the Lulu DeLulu from Darcy do you know what Darcy I could see that fitting right in at the Eurovision Song Contest.

SPEAKER_12

Are Bulgaria involved in the Eurovision? I think they probably are in fact I think they might be coming back to to be involved next year. I'm a bit of a Eurovision song contest fanatic and whenever I tell anybody I think their music should be in the Eurovision Song Contest it is meant as a compliment that is Delulu from Darcy. Thank you very much for sending that track through to us. You're listening to the new music generator with Tim Willis Okay well you're about to hear the screams all the way from Canada because here comes an exclusive play of the new single from Myopia they've been regularly releasing tracks over the last few months and this track is they describe as their best work with at the track represents some of the band's best work at detail with intricate layers and driving drums and bass and laying a strong foundation. The song is called Petal it's about lusting after someone who is fresh and new in your life whilst battling self-hatred and poor self-care with the awareness of the time it takes to better yourself producing this song is a very enjoyable time and ensure to catch the attention of a keen listener. Well I am a keen listener so let's see if it catches my attention the band of playing a coda on the third of July and that is when this track is released.

SPEAKER_08

It is brand new from myopia this is pedal what you've never seen got no direction no sign of redemption but that's just no more case Your life's exciting, romantic, unwinding, and everybody calls you dear. The movies never show you. Directors make in love at yeah.
