After stunning sold-out extended-play outings on ubiquitous raw house labels Shall Not Fade and clipp.art, as well as broody emotionally tinged release on Feelings Worldwide, Lost Palms and his own imprint among others, 1-800 GIRLS continues to reserve a space of his own in the speed lane of modern intelligent dance music.
A past performing live in new wave inspired bands where it was not uncommon to find himself behind a keyboard, guitar or drum kit, informs the 1-800 GIRLS sound – underpinned by the contrasts of subtle nostalgia running alongside rumbling grooves, crackling percussives and gloriously staccato melodies, with spring-tingling emotional textures being the glue holding together everything the Hackney based artist produces. Often falling in sharp contrast with his own eclectic high energy DJ sets.

1-800 GIRLS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the cost of this sacrifice
You could escape from this and stay alive
But now you wonder if you'll survive
Even though you walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death do not fear
He is by your side
Even when you're terrified
You will be alright
I see the fear that you try to hide
Wish I could take it and make it mine
But God chose you to be the one to stand
You're a part of His master plan
Even though you walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death do not fear
He is by your side
Even when you're terrified
In the darkest night
You will be alright
