——-
All the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily.And these things I say to make myself feel good again
I’ll speak, I’ll write, I’ll laugh, I’ll lie
I can’t bear to sit here and drink myself sick again
Another night, when everything I know was just a lie
I got nothing to do but stare at these walls
And take some time to screw my head on right
I can’t make any sense of this or you or anything
I’m wide awake, and all our parents lied
It’s not alright, and all our words collide
Awake all night
Bill Ryder-Jones
The Cinema is the newest project of Leighton Antelman, a member of the band Lydia (great band, by the way), and producer Matt Malpass. Despite the fact that this project is so new, these two talented men have produced a tiny goldmine full of wonderful music. Seriously, just listen to the tracks on their tumblr page if you think I’m lying. Their sound is full and rich, and a few of their songs kind of remind me of M83, only way, way better (For you hipsters who feel like snarking at me for not liking M83, go chain-smoke your emotions. I know I will).
While they classify themselves as indie rock/alternative, there’s also a bit of dream pop in their music, which makes it so much better than your run-of-the-mill guitar-driven indie rock because it adds a nuanced layer of sound that has kept them on repeat for me pretty much all day. Of course, Leighton Antelman’s vocals aren’t half bad, either. If you enjoy “Picasso”, from their debut album My Blood is Full of Airplanes, and you want the rest of their album, it’s available at your local iTunes store.
