	Now that I’ve embraced this lassitude I’ll lie here and absorb the room Trace a hairline crack from the window pane And leave it up to you With a sanguine gaze I’ll walk on bye Colour code the books, do some exercise Bathe in half light, taste this salty air And leave it up to you Well I’m on my feet, swaying side to side But my languor’s just been amplified Can I shift from fact to fantasy? Or leave it up to you? I’ll leave it up to you We equivocate No words to sate So what’s our fate? When the world outside looks gossamer I can make myself feel popular Should I drift into reality? Or leave it up to you? Now I’ve buckled from this leaden mind I’ll accept it was a slow decline Wait for my eventual decay And leave it up to you Maybe now it’s time for a pregnant pause? The big reveal, soak up some applause Or is the truth just something quite mundane? We left it all to do We left it all to do I’m waiting for my epiphany It’s overdue Step outside and there’s a Cypress Tree Over to you We equivocate No words to sate So what’s our fate? We left it all to do All to do All to do Now if we could rouse this lethargy Lay some earth under our dreams Share one step to alleviate That’s one thing less to do

about

**Includes exclusive bonus track 'Napoleon Relic' only available on Bandcamp**

Debris Discs (aka James Eary ex. Coves & Caves, My Side of the Mountain, Magic Arm) returns with brand new electro dreampop track ‘Cypress Tree’. The track features vocal harmonies from Manchester electro-folk artist Test Card Girl (aka Catherine Burgis), one of Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6 Music Ones to Watch 2021.

The song begins in a dreamy haze with detuned descending guitars, hypnotic electronics, melodic bass and lush vocal harmonies, with James and Catherine’s voices enveloping the soundscape. A four-to-the-floor beat creeps in, followed by warm analogue synth stabs, lo-fi beats and a woozy, almost anthemic piano line. The result is a sonorous and saturated sonic reverie.

The poetic lyrics depict the two sides of a soul simultaneously in despair and denial. From languishing in bed staring at cracks in the ceiling, to blocking out the dread with fantasies of a better life. They continually pass the buck, one side waiting for some kind of epiphany and the other greeted by the titular cypress tree. But maybe the way forward isn’t revelatory or symbolic. Maybe it’s just a gradual, pragmatic acceptance of taking each day as it comes. Just one thing less to do.
