Friday, 7th May Luxembourg-based self-described Electronic Pop Noise Maker Tobisonics delivers his second release of 2021, “All The Little Things”.
“This is everything. I want more.”
Jaguar [BBC Intro Dance Radio 1/Mix mag]
(upon hearing the preview)
“A slick but lo-fi electro-disco spoken-word masterpiece."
Listen with Monger
A collaboration with Scottish Poet/Spoken-Word Artist, Wee Scots Poet [ft. BBC Wales & BBC Radio 6 Music]; a Nu-Disco groove for dancing around your home to; a spoken-word exploration from the sub-atomic to the astrological, a father introducing life, the universe & everything to his newborn baby; an indie-dance bop combining the electronic production of Daft Punk and disco-funk vocoder of Parliament with the lyrical depth and imagery of Arab Strap and psychedelic whimsy of Ivor Cutler.
“All The Little Things” follows up on electronic/alternative Hip Hop collaboration with London-based Rapper/Poet Costi, “Eye of the Storm” [ft. Fresh on the Net Fresh Faves (Batch 390)]. Tobisonics’ music has been played by DJ Tobi Lynn of Amazing Radio US, featured on KGUP’s daily rotation, as well as attracting the attention of Abbie McCarthy [BBC Radio 1] “Enjoyed listening to this, ace production 👏🏼”.
Chris Ingram [aka Wee Scots Poet] stood out at an early age, winning the Burns Award aged five. He has performed alongside the likes of British Sea Power, 9 Bach, Ben Waters, Cate Le Bon and Dizraeli. As well as working on a solo album, Chris regularly writes and performs with Vulpes Urbana. Described by Tom Robinson (BBC Introducing Mixtape) as, “Some of the finest writing I've heard come through BBC Introducing", and “One of our picks for Artist of the Week for 2020" by The Scotland on Sunday.
Tobi says, “Disco is the electronic genre of hard times. Right now, people need their Saturday Night Fever.” When asked for a comment, Chris replied,”Bdah bdah bdah bdah booo!”.
“All The Little Things” is out on all platforms, Friday, 7th May.
lyrics
Bdah bdah bdah bdah booo
The Wee things
All those little things
You and me, we can be a Toucan
Rainbows at the end of your nose
Time blows bubbles emerge from rubble
Haldon collide with me, let's gaze through Hubble.
The Wee things
All those little things
The Wee things
All those little things
See it all glorious microscopic
Mandala seahorses so kaleidoscopic
Like sunshine kisses, she makes it better
It's midnight, slide into that slipper Barbarella
The Wee things
All those little things
The Wee things
All those little things
The Wee things
All those little things
The Wee things
All those little things
Having spent his volatile teenage years in awful/awesome guitar bands; music fell away in Tobi’s 20s, as he wrestled with
his mental health. A last roll-of-the-dice appointment with a Psychiatrist in his mid-30s finally led to therapy and medication. Flooded with years of repressed emotions and the songs fell out of him. The slow grind of recovery and music-making evolved together....more
