They used a bit of the Super-8 footage of the trains that will be familiar to those who remember the promo for the first Heavenly single I Fell In Love Last Night.

Well, this always was a poem I’d find myself whistling while doing the washing up, so no surprise that @skepwax.bsky.social have made it a single; and if the train in the video looks familiar, check out Heavenly’s I Fell In Love Last Night on YouTube – there’s thought goes into this stuff, you know.

Brian Bilston @brianbilston.bsky.social · 6d

A new single, ‘Might Have, Might Not Have’, has been released from my poetry-pop album with The Catenary Wires, ‘Sounds Made Like Humans’.

There’s even an accompanying video with some very super Super-8 footage of trains and tracks for all you railway enthusiasts out there.

The Cords debutan con un disco en el que apuestan por un indie-pop de claro sabor ochentero con el que hacen verdaderas maravillas. Y todo esto sin que las hermanas Tesdechi, sus dos componentes, hayan cumplido la mayoría de edad. Vía @skepwax.bsky.social www.indienauta.com/the-cords-th...

Upbeat and highly infectious, they sing about relationships hassles, the beauty of Autumn, lovable liars, and hairstyles that were not a particularly good idea.
