Big Picture 03:38
I’m up, you’re down, little did I know You’ll turn left, I’ll go right, which way should I go? Fire burning blazing lights, reaping what we sow // How can we, really heal, when facing such a wall? Oh oh, oh oh woh Black or white, left or right, how could I ever know? Then I was, left behind, now I am hiding low Fire burning, blazing lights, reaping what we sow Rarely, have I been, so utterly distraught. Big town, how will I ever know, Who I can trust, That’s the worst of it all, You were, you were there, hiding Big town, how the hell will I know, Who’s the real deal, Who can I carry the load? You were, you were there, hiding Big Town, the friends and foes, That hang around, out of sight laying low, You were, you were there, waiting

In the dark quiet night, I didn’t hear you come in Though your footsteps were light, We couldn’t avoid colliding, In the swell You bruised my forehead and didn’t say sorry It’s so unreal, we are falling, as we climb It can’t be real, we are slipping, as we stand As you opened your eyes, we were completely blinded Couldn’t make out just why, we were the ones now stranded Underestimating misfortune, We’re out of luck, who knew ? It’s so unreal, we are falling, as we climb It can’t be real, we are stranded, in the dark If a sailor, saves her ?

Even though it can’t go on the tinder in the fire keeps on burning

Hey, know about that day, everything about us changed, Memories so quaint, now far away Hey, I would never swear, It was the best I could behave Try not to forget, the mistakes we made Hey, I don’t want to play Yet another creepy game Where we’ll get all mixed up, and get tangled hair, So, we can no longer, no longer not ever, Untangle one another Don’t let me change my mind Won’t ever be this self-inclined Living blindfolded, we slowly declined // Reclined Say, how could it have gone, How could it have gone so wrong? All these restless nights, as I toss and turn Still, I just can’t get rid, of the pictures of your face, that camp around my bed, Don’t let me change my mind Won’t ever be this self-inclined Living blindfolded, we slowly declined // Reclined

The Moon 03:13
All is brighter all is taller, all is easier on the moon Now there’s no-one around, can you hear me? Can you hear me ? Now there’s no-one around, can you hear me? You can’t hear me ? It’s been a while now, since I’ve been back to my hometown, my hometown, It’s a long way away, you have to go through space and time, through space and time It gets so lonely out here, no-one to listen, no-one to hear, It gets a little bit lonely out here, no-one to talk to no one to fear Now there’s no-one around, can you hear me? Can you hear me ? Now there’s no-one around, can you hear me? You can’t hear me ? Leave it all behind Now there’s no-one around, can you hear me? Can you hear me ? Now there’s no-one around, can you hear me? You can’t hear me ?

Who put a dress on the cheeky monkey ? Dancing away like there’s no tomorrow Shake shake shake a cheeky wink Forget about life and all it’s sorrow Little monkey dressed in pink Dancing away like there’s no tomorrow Shake shake shake a cheeky wink Forget about life and all it’s sorrow Unaware of All the hearsay Surrounding his appearance Cheeky monkey a dress will wear Whenever he does appear He makes an entrance Cheeky monkey does not really care.

about

🇬🇧 LA BATTUE is an extended family of sister, brother, and friend, and their first EP Search Party takes us on a 6 track visit to their universe, fundamentally indie pop, influenced by the repetitive and dreamlike music of Steve Reich, the experimentation and love of analog found in Broadcast , Stereolab’s verve, Local Natives’ and Grizzly Bear’s orchestral pop. The songwriting is simple, effective and catchy, and particularly strong in vocal harmonies, like a ray of sunshine.

đŸ‡«đŸ‡· Famille (re)composĂ©e Ă  l'univers bien singulier, LA BATTUE nous offre Ă  travers ce premier EP "Search Party", 6 titres d'obĂ©dience indie pop bercĂ©s par la musique répétitive et onirique de Steve Reich, les expérimentations et le goût de l’analogique de Broadcast, la verve de Stereolab, la pop orchestrale de Local Natives et de Grizzly Bear.
Une Ă©criture simple, efficace et entĂȘtante oĂč les harmonies vocales occupent une place de choix, renforçant le cĂŽtĂ© sunshine de certaines compositions.

about

La Battue Rennes, France

Some artists seem to bear within them the secret of a conquering exaltation and a contagious happiness. La Battue are among those ! The disciples of Local Natives and Phoenix reveal an imaginary kingdom inspired by both the Beach Boys and Steve Reich, resuming possession of electronic music to extract its organic quintessence and exploring echoes with melodic clarity. ... more
