So long, theatre three where everything nice flops, Plays a Chimerian comedy...she’s gone. And I weep openly at NT live. We accept the absurd we deserve although when did playing God become so unnatural? I’m fine. Unlike any other guy. The blooming window. The warm walk alone in the night. Despair. For the forums that care, and throws it in the air. they is the severed bed, now it’s done... He's sprung. So sure fork out your torch, if the mock and the kate’s and the cox have won. What’s sadistic symmetry when tradition is loss...and my leffe/love is gone. Slow. Has this dread expired? Been here before, I don’t wait, why would I when I know. And bore the same jokes, Jude hear me. That waits time, that takes time wakes won. Gone gone gone... I’m fine. Unlike any other guy. The blooming window. The warm walk alone in the night. Despair, for the forums still there, who really even cares. If my flowers turned to veg, that I cannot miss.

Clean is core! Forget your language and lock the door. Cos with this new ground they’re treading, you won't need it anyone. I'm cutting edge. I can see a world still and sweet. But I can't be the only one, swagging in the deep. Is there any fun in this utopia? My inner monologue is being trolled. But this Becks blue bacchanalia, is a thrill to behold. So yeah, I think it’s kind of cold. when all the kids all live online and the weather is meta, my mums on twitter eye roll sigh. Motor mouthed. Every oral history laid out. Kissing unholy ground. All balloons that smile on the south' Gone too far. Death of the archetypal rockstar. When bravado’s in lack Is it worth living anymore? Down the cyber valleys, their war cries come. The movement is Oedipal and they are the sons. So yeah I’m feeling kind of old, when every fear it dwells online. It’s clever, it’s better, we’re more together they’d rather die I am my doom. The Sardonic boom. I dance to their tunes. Carry me out of this room Begin again. Sans offense. Life in its kindest form. Powered by unreal engine The future has made its way into my home. But how can I love you in a sentiment free zone?

Amass! And it’s another happy day in hand with glass. Throw out your arms! Rejoice and clap! Brill! Everythings bending to my will. The sun bursts, to the brand new spill. But that aside, I’m no longer on my baby’s mind. You’re just a purpose away from paradise. They say ‘hey Arth you’re doing fine’ Love? The smiling glance left from above. Take me, I’m yours now. A slope in time, when I'm hanging on the washing line. I’m no longer on my baby’s mind. Baby, baby, baby, baby’s mind. Silently I couldn’t know to descend As long as this never ends. Let me live life in the bends. Baby is perfect pretend. Fab! It’s another happy day in hand with glass. Throw out your arms! Rejoice and clap! Brill! Everything bends to my will! I’m just a vessel for a beautiful god now.

“As good as it gets?” I explode, and then you’re talking about a million years – but this isn’t it. Long term couples plant things which stand with a chill, art-space-plays-god-forbid-cabaret - a life lived to be unfulfilled. But still...Yeah I’d kill, just about anything if you’d like… Christ, but for the rest of my life. Morning noon day and night, I'm crucified. Ring it out, so it’s said lust is dead. Now we’re cosplay housewifery not a semi occupied double bed. Cry, I miss the phones all the time. Fight x 7, not on a girl's night. But what if it's flawed? and the long winding road leads to a bore? "Hey look, my dad was a spaceship” and now it’s even worse than before. So yeah, I’d spill the blood of the innocent if you want me to. No thrill, just pure domesticity if I can pretend. Bath, TV and then there's something expected, Are you sure you can see it through? 5 years, TV, and then there's someone expecting? Not tonight, no woo or hoo...but this LIKE is true. And it could do...for you...settling’s cool.

about

When Blue Bendy independently released debut single ‘Suspension’ in 2019, it caught the attention of producer Margo Broom – Fat White Family, Goat Girl – who understood the potential in that single and the pop experimentalism that needed to be conjured from the six piece. 2021’s ‘International’ and ‘Glosso Babel’, the first products of their work with Broom, established Blue Bendy as one of the most exciting bands emerging from South London.

Though crucially different from their South London peers, Nolan points out how that scene has allowed the band to grow and become more interesting, more sharp, more distinct - “I don’t think we would have progressed the way we had if we hadn’t been surrounded by those bands, and watching things shoot up around you. It makes you strive much harder.”

Nolan’s charismatic vocal and a committed interest in lyric writing that has perhaps been absent from British music over the last couple of years. Though you might be able to detect trace DNA of the humour of Malkmus, the romantic absurdity of Bjork and even the kitchen sink despair of Johnny Cash, there is something truly unique that runs through everything Blue Bendy put their hand to.

Defiantly building on their early promise, Blue Bendy are getting weirder and poppier in perfect tandem.
