Leaning In 04:29
If my body is a vehicle My chest is the windshield It’s been with me from the start It’s been Leaning In I used to think I had bad joints But in fact they’re pretty good They’ve been with me from the start They’ve been Leaning In You can look me in the eye I’ll tell you how it is And my words, they may surprise I’m leaning in to it I’m breathing in to it I’m giving in to it

It’s the perfect day to leave the city It’s the perfect day to leave the sea We can trade all the buildings for mountains We can trade all the people for trees It’s the perfect day to leave the city It’s the perfect day to leave the sea Trade all the buildings for mountains Trade all the people for trees Rain will wash our bodies Sun will warm our bones Clouds will cover our secrets The wind will carry us home Now we don’t need the city It’s the perfect day to leave the city No we don’t need the city It’s the perfect day to leave the city

about

The sounds on Texture & Light’s new EP, 'Eat Magic' bring listeners on a fuzzy, deep, slow motion journey across a dance floor, while the themes lead you deep within yourself. If this sounds heavy, it is - but it’s also light. There’s plenty of space between the big ideas for dancing or navel gazing. The songs on 'Eat Magic' were performed live as they were being written, and they slowly evolved and grew in front of many different people before they were completed. Far from being created in a vacuum, they are living, breathing parts of Trevor’s 2017 life experience - and maybe yours too.

The lead off track, ‘Leaning In’ is a synth laden, sub touching, indie dance track with lyrics that are loosely inspired by Pema Chodron's philosophy of "leaning in to the sharp points” in times of difficulty. The acid line that shows up at the halfway point however, may encourage you to dance your cares away instead.

‘Merlin’ is a deep ambient techno track that features twinkling bell synth sounds, a lead line played on a dulcimer, smooth sub drops, and a composite of three ancient poems from three different centuries. It wouldn’t be out of place on a new Four Tet album.

‘Leave The City’ is the grittiest of the bunch - the drums and baseline head straight for the jugular as the song slowly unfolds into brighter synth sounds and lofty ideas about leaving the city behind - A favourite writing topic of Trevor’s.

Closing the journey is ‘Infinite Push’, a short little dreamy ambient piece that offers to take you to inner space or outer space depending on your willingness to let go.

Bonus Bandcamp track: Glasgow based duo audiodeluxe add an oldschool beat and their indie trip hop vibe to Infinite Push, giving the whole piece a nice 90's electronica feel.
