Cause A Stir

by CHARMPIT

supported by

Rodent Well, it took about 10 seconds of listening to one track before I started thinking... "Is this really a London band? But they have the Santa Cruz sound!" Yes indeed, it's official: this is another fine example of that Santa Cruz sound we all love. Go, Slugs!

Skuse Rivalling gin and staring wistfully out of the window for the title of corona-lockdown MVP so far. Favorite track: Wild Wild Westfield.

My baby needs a breeze A little wind beneath their wings And I can take the time, if you blow under mine Blue like a winter spell, frustrated to hell In the foggy dread (when I’m struggalin’) I’m stuck in my head (see ya sparkalin’) The best pearlfriend Babes a diamond, shining through Breeze, You’re a diamond in my world Making it all possible Breeze, Open up and find a pearl So beautiful! Breeze, You’re a diamond ~ You’re a pearl Breeze Clutch your pearls & gems Cuz they're your best friends Whatever shape you're in (square or pear) Lustre your mustering (crystal clear) Still come times... When you might find... You need a... Breeze, A little wind beneath your wings And I can take the time, if you blow under mine And sometimes we deflate... You know I can wait! Till you get some air again And share with me your friend Breeze, You’re a diamond in my world Making it all possible Breeze, Open up and find a pearl So beautiful! Breeze, You’re a diamond ~ You’re a pearl Breeze
