Warm You / Spoonfeed

Description

'Warm You' is the collaboration between Mandaworld
(aka Amanda Hicks) and partner Matthew Tavares (aka
Matty of BADBADNOTGOOD fame). It is a song about your
lover getting out of bed in the middle of the night
because they can't sleep and you telling them to come
back to where it's warm and safe and they're loved. 
It was written in their Montreal apartment a few
months after they moved in. Matty described the
writing process "We just spontaneously decided to
make music, and the idea came out pretty much
immediately. I laid down some guitar and then Amanda
played the synth line over it and I edited the guitar
so the timing was more interesting. We worked on it
for a few days getting the chorus and the verses to
feel right and, for the most part, everything fell
into place super intuitively. Amanda wrote the
lyrics."

This heartfelt, dream-pop song, with a mellow shoe-
gaze sensibility, lets the pair trade verses whilst
the instrumentation builds to a crescendo and the
duo's voices finally combine. Lush, passionate and
personal, a beautiful song, rich in evocative
memories.

On the 'B-side', Mandaworld takes centre
stage. 'Spoonfeed' is a spacey synth bass-led ambient
ballad with smokey hazy vocals, calming like a bubble
bath. Produced with a timeless quality, the song
leaves you with a sense of tranquility and a feeling
of being submerged underwater.

Like all the best music this 7" is deeply personal,
yet these are universal themes that are relatable to
any listener as they recognise their own experiences
within the mood of the songs.
