Then Oscar said something else you’d thought blue. I’ll call her your name if you want me to. And set aside that worldly fling. Well six years don’t have wings, but babe believe they flew. And yet it still feels mine. How could I ever want what was never fine. But now you won’t believe it’s true but.. A psychedelic kids extra, on Highbury Fields, thought of you. Joe pinch me, we’re in the hands of Zara’s styling team. The Macaulays are informing me on what fame really means. You still occupy everything. Cos since Weather, It hasn’t gotten any better. My 12 in Kennington can wait. We’re on the precipice of something bait. Well Joe, you know they’ll... They’ll never be the same as us. And if you ever hear this just go and think of us. Four boys died on that Beatles bus. Freckled, love is now a cold metal. Since Weather, It hasn’t gotten any better. My 12 in Kennington can wait We’re on the precipice of something great. We bring the bad weather. And I should’ve let, you crawl under my skin Lets begin again For the last time, Christ. La la la la la.. Could have been anything out of life It’s only now it stabs late at night. After 3 months call me just to say: Give back my favourite jeans. Take back what he said to me. Maybe it’s better alone. Give back my favourite jeans. Take back what he said to me. Why do we have to pretend? Let's begin again, begin again, begin again. I can handle being the 3rd best guitar band in London But baby just let me be first at something. And now you won’t believe it’s true, but... A psychedelic kids extra...

Bend for the fastest thing, the one And, join in these playful things done Oh my god, I’m beginning to think we’re gone I’m three planes down and the bright lights are getting long The milk of strife, the tears that flood the counter flee I’m sorry I said you’d died so that they’d let me fly for free I’m alone again, the nightmare too high for true care, it’s my last big pump for the feels the overzealous internet throbathon magic appeal. That finding your friends in the dark zeal Deaths in demand, face down in the sand No ones holding your hand, come on The cities burning down and I can’t make it end My baby she don’t want anything we’re all in pain we’re all in pain you got it Oh no I can’t feel anything We’re all in pain we’re all in pain we’re all in pain we’re all in pain We’re all in Spain We’re all in Spain We’re all in Spain We’re all in Spain La Di da… Kitchen knife Early night God give me a little life These hot streets, I’m cold Four star halloumi, you’re serving it raw There is no forever There is no forever No there’s no forever Please, bendy beats me better Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The word is, I do it too much Can somebody please, give me something to suck Alone on the continent and it’s still looking up The death behind the shitpost saga of no idea Aphrodite’s boozy trauma, deaf on the other line and it’s still getting harder Listen up, it’s a crime I’ll be fine Dying at twenty five It’s just the room that we were at the start The last lived elastic parts I’m a boy of the arts The studs guide to unnatural power From superman to John superman in a couple of hours Deaf on the other line, now Satan’s my father. Listen up, call it love it’s a crime Dying at twenty five It’s just a room that it was at the start The last lived elastic parts We’re all bound for the earth, so come around baby I’m waiting to dig around in the dirt I should text her

This is the end Ten out of ten In exploration of a clucking hen Tonight was tight But we aren’t friends Well I know it’s melodrama But it’s how I feel and you can tell that to them “Say hi to me from sobriety” (She says) I’m spinning out, unravelling I’m the boss boy racer And the audiobook’s Lauda This could be Rodin to Italy Just do something with me We’ve been struggling for miles Where are my memetic flowers I’ve got beef with a monkey account Can I make you proud? Crying out Sound the genie alarm Give it clean, give me crisp, we need calm Ban the bubblegum champ I’ve got half a mind to set fire to the bar I’ve got a big fat house And I know exactly what I’m gonna do with it I waited three years to drive And in a second our ride Could be engorged from boot to bumper Spilling too much and just like us God stopped at the humber I know if it’s real I wanna know if it cares anymore We’ve been spinning for miles Where are my memetic flowers I’ve got beef with a monkey account Can I make you proud? Stood, crying.out loud Oh, what a night to be found And what a night to be John Superman And we burn down the motorway A wild rocket couldn’t stop it We’re going back to Spain Yeah, this is a we could be in a film kinda thing The big screen adaptation that you just won’t ring And I hear you’re gonna quit for the band But you can’t hold it together without it holding your hand But please for me don’t cry I made it all the way to the microphone didn’t I? I’ve done it now Until I get it right Until I get it right Write a song Write a song Write a song To drive to Write a song Write a song Write a song To drive to Write a song Write a song Write a song To drive to Write a song Write a song Write a song…

about

Blue Bendy's highly anticipated debut album ‘So Medieval’ is being released via The state51 Conspiracy on 12 April.

‘So Medieval’ captures all the musical foibles, idiosyncrasies and departures from the norm which Blue Bendy have displayed across their previous releases. Expressing their sound over the course of a full record for the first time, ‘So Medieval’ is an explosive mix of genre, atmosphere and emotions. The end result is something rare for a new band: a debut album which is as experimental as it is confident and assured, as tender as it is visceral, as quiet as it is loud, as bloody as it is teary.

Blue Bendy strike a balance between being obviously skilled musicians, writing complex, layered, overlapping and ambitious compositions, while also utilising space, breadth, and restraint. Their music is bursting with dynamism, exploring push-pull dynamics that results in something ceaselessly unpredictable.
