about

The weirdo jam always comes from a totally unexpected place, and Kablam! suddenly you realise you're in a place that you hadn't thought about exploring. One minute you're cutting up samples of your voice, then you send it to your bandmate and it comes back with a jazzy Rhodes on it, and then lyrics develop about our need to store everything about us in a digital device (even more information than we tell directly to our loved ones) and then someone close to you dies and you realise that this trail of information they left will always be out there on a server possibly forever. And then we stick a vocoder on it and it sounds a bit funky. We live in a strange world, don't go getting paranoid.

lyrics

Time slows down when you do something new
We've just found all that was hidden of you
Time slows down when you do something new
Is that you I always thought I knew

Time slows down when you do something new
We've just found all that was hidden of you
Time slows down when you do something new
Is that you I always thought I knew
Is that you I always thought I knew

Stone the crows and catch the fox
We've just found your wee black box
You don't know you stopped the clocks
All the secrets you thought were locked
We're so sorry we just found your wee black box
Stone the crows and catch the fox
We've just found your wee black box
You don't know you stopped the clocks

Time slows down when you do something new
We've just found all that was hidden of you
Time slows down when you do something new
Is that you I always thought I knew

Exploration; it's the key to everything
You don't need it all now
Don't believe those cynical bastards yeah

A person reduced to data
A funeral broadcast from a server in California

Time slows down when you do something new
(Time slows down when you do something new - repeat)
We've just found all that was hidden of you
Time slows down when you do something new
Is that you I always thought I knew

about

New Olympians Glasgow, UK

"Electrifying and powerfully gripping" Nessi Holt (Radio KC)

New Olympians are a band of explorers; always evolving, learning, pursuing their muse regardless of audience expectations or genre. They sound like a blend of The Who’s blues-rock with Beck’s eclectic indie. Michael's standout vocals have been likened to Roger Daltry’s sincere tone and Jamie Woon’s rhythmic soulful style. ... more
