Golden Hour 04:03
Feels like I'm shining With the glory of the sun Floating suspended Above the city where I'm from Feels like I'm drifting On a tidal wave of love I was wasted, I was washed out Now I've been lifted up All my dark thoughts All my bad feelings All of my fears Where have they gone? All my dark thoughts All my bad feelings All of my fears Where have they gone? Where have they gone now? Tell me where have you been? Tell me what have you seen? You're looking at me differently My friend what could it mean? I've been among the clouds You see me coming down My smile radiating My feet don't touch the ground All my dark thoughts All my bad feelings All of my fears Where have they gone? All my dark thoughts All my bad feelings All of my fears Where have they gone? Where have they gone now? All my yesterdays All my tomorrows All my forevers Where are they now? All my regrets All of my sorrows All of my bad luck Has fallen off, fallen off All my dark thoughts All my bad feelings All of my fears Where have they gone? All my dark thoughts All my bad feelings All of my fears Where have they gone? Where have they gone now?

Can't Win 04:04
Each story that I'm in I end up on the wrong side Everywhere I turn I'm always in the spotlight And every bed I'm in I wake up on the wrong side My every conversation turns into a fist fight And I can't, no I can't win I can't, no I can't win lately, I swim against the tide And I can't, no I can't win No matter how I try, no matter how I try Everywhere I look there's always something in my eye Every bet I place I always pick the wrong guy Every bed I'm in I wake up on the wrong side Every war I'm in I end up on the wrong side And I can't, no I can't win I can't, no I can't win lately, I swim against the tide And I can't, no I can't win No matter how I try, no matter how I try Cosmically under-fulfilled It's going to get me killed I want to be out of this world Just trying to get off of this hill And I can't, no I can't win I can't, no I can't win lately, I swim against the tide And I can't, no I can't win I can't, no I can't win lately, no matter how I try And I can't, no I can't win I can't, no I can't win I can't, no I can't win No matter how I try, no matter how I try

Brother 03:58
You get under my skin on purpose, yes you do I cannot help noticing you We stay up way too late on purpose, yes we do I cannot help noticing it We get far too close for comfort, yes we do I can’t help it, I am magnetised to you You get under my skin on purpose, yes you do I cannot help noticing That I’m a brother to you, I think you see me like a brother Am I a brother to you? I am a brother to you, I think you see me like a brother Am I a brother to you? Of course I’ll be a shoulder, yes I will To cry on, oh yes I will, oh yes I will Of course I’ll be a soldier, yes I will I’ll grin and bear it, yes I will, oh yes I will I am a brother to you, I think you see me like a brother Am I a brother to you? I am a brother to you, I think you see me like a brother Am I a brother to you? 'Cos there is no love to be found In all the faces that surround And there is no-one left for me No more fish left in the sea And there is nothing to be found In all the places that surround And I have surely run aground Don’t touch me, don’t try to hold my hand I know you don’t know what you’re doing I know you don’t understand That I’m a brother to you, I think you see me like a brother Am I a brother to you? I am a brother to you, I think you see me like a brother Am I a brother to you? 'Cos there is no love to be found In all the faces that surround And there is no-one left for me No more fish left in the sea And there is nothing to be found In all the places that surround And I have surely run aground

Are you close and are you getting closer Are you speaking now in the softest whisper And when my desperate doubts begin to cluster Are you gonna drown them out in a voice like thunder ‘Cos I’m so, cos I’m so Fired up, fired up And I’m so, and I'm so Fired up, fired up I said when are you going to come over Put your hand upon my shoulder Shield me from all the exposure Wake me up whenever it’s over ‘Cos I’m so, cos I’m so Fired up, fired up And I’m so, and I'm so Fired up, fired up When push comes to shove Are you gonna give me your love Are you gonna give me your love When push comes to shove Are you gonna give me your love Are you gonna give me your love

Ride my bike along the shore Sun never shone like this before Sun never shone, never shone like this Never gave me such happiness Don’t be too much Just be enough Don’t be too much Just be enough I don’t want to be young forever Just want to be young for a little bit longer I just want to run into the arms of summer Okay, I admit I want to live forever Always with you dear Stay by my side Always with you dear Stay by my side Don’t be too much Just be enough Don’t be too much Just be enough Oh oh, I am a believer and I do believe in an endless summer And I believe in life eternal and I do believe we can go on and on Oh oh, gonna hit the target and I know for sure I'm gonna get the grades Move aside, gonna take the prize, gonna win the lot, I’m gonna rock your socks Oh oh, I am a believer and I do believe in an endless summer And I believe in life eternal and I do believe we can go on and on Oh oh, gonna hit the target and I know for sure I'm gonna get the grades Move aside, gonna take the prize, gonna win the lot, I’m gonna rock your socks Oh oh, I am a believer and I do believe in an endless summer And I believe in life eternal and I do believe we can go on and on Oh oh, gonna hit the target and I know for sure I'm gonna get the grades Move aside, gonna take the prize, gonna win the lot, I’m gonna rock your socks

And so it begins, the commodification of everything Advertising on your skin That’s how you know you can’t win And so it begins, the homogenisation of everything The colours dissolve to grey As your dreams slowly drift away I thought I could be strong I thought I could be strong But now I can’t hold on Now I can’t hold on And so it begins, the disassociation of everything It’s making your poor head spin That’s how you know you can’t win And so it begins, the annihilation of everything The pestilence and the plague All the bombs and the tidal waves I thought I could be strong I thought I could be strong But now I can’t hold on Now I can’t hold on So I say bye-bye, goodbye to the smoke and the static Bye-bye, goodbye to the fumes and the plastic Bye-bye, goodbye to the hours we wasted Bye-bye, goodbye to the glories we tasted Oh I say bye-bye, goodbye to the wind and the grass and the trees Bye-bye, goodbye to the sea and the sky and the leaves Bye-bye, goodbye to all your pretty faces Bye-bye, goodbye, ‘cos I can’t take them with me But I would if I could And I sing

Stood aloof, bullet proof Another narcissistic youth But in the half-light I couldn’t be seen Nearly nothing left of me Translucent, fading away Lost in the shadows at the end of the day (At the end of the day) Take it slow, take it in my stride One step, one step at a time Though I walk through the pouring rain, I’m bone dry Soon be falling on my knees again Something hit me like a brick In the pit of my stomach Sent me out on a spin, far away From the planet I was orbiting But when I opened up my mouth to pray I couldn’t find the words to say Take it slow, take it in my stride One step, one step at a time And though I walk through the pouring rain, I’m bone dry I'll soon be falling on my knees again Take it slow, take it in my stride Take it slow, take it in my stride One step at a time

Didn’t I tell you, didn’t I say I will be by your side and getting right in your way From the moment the sun comes up Until the ending of each day I will be your lover, you don’t need no other Baby baby, I will be loving you for all of my days All of my days Baby baby, I will be loving you for all of my days All of my days How can I tell you, how can I make it clear I want to be by your side and whisper right in your ear From the moment you wake up I’ll never disappear I will treat you best, I’ll treat you better than anyone ever Baby baby, I will be loving you for all of my days All of my days Baby baby, I will be loving you for all of my days All of my days And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you know It's alright It's alright And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you know It's alright It's alright And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you know It's alright It's al - right now

400 Buffalo 05:45
400 buffalo Heading downstream Gone the way the water flows Such a strange dream Heard the lions roar Couldn’t reach the further shore All this panic, all this furore What is it for? What is it for? So now Sing, sing a song with no words A song that is older than words now Sing, sing a song with no words All of the words are gone now Sing, sing a song with no words A song that is older than words now Sing, sing a song with no words All of the words are gone now 400 buffalo Gone the way the wind blows Over the Botswana plain Never to return again Heard the river roar Couldn’t reach the further shore All this death, all this furore What is it for, hey So now Sing, sing a song with no words A song that is older than words now Sing, sing a song with no words All of the words are gone now Sing, sing a song with no words A song that is older than words now Sing, sing a song with no words All of the words are gone now

Featherweight Tapes presents Future Perfect, the new mini-album by Robi Mitch, released digitally and on cassette on the 23rd of April 2021.

The album title plays with the idea of utopia, a constant theme throughout. Robi reveals musical influences from east Asian indie scenes (notably those of Taiwan and Japan), while also dipping into soul, psychedelia and folk.

The end result is a sound that feels both well-travelled and timeless, with vintage synths ensconced in tastefully contemporary production. Robi’s “hi-lo-fi” sound is indebted to the skills of mix engineer Benjamin Satherley-Johnson and mastering maestro Shawn Joseph.

Future Perfect sees Robi explore his own take on pop songwriting (albeit always in a quirky, off-kilter manner), with the end result a quasi-concept album journeying between the everyday and the existential. Robi’s joyful, insightful take on human experience will refresh and uplift you, while the arrangements he crafts alongside collaborators Mike Griffiths, Liam Owen and Isabelle Povey are sure to delight any listener with an inquisitive ear.
