2. Cody (UK)
An Oxford (UK) based 4-piece, Cody originally formed in 1996 to play a strange mid-fi mix of synthpop, post-punk and indie rock that gained them a single on local label Shifty Disco. "Simple", released in August 1997, was an 8-minute droning partly-spoken epic that gained gushing reviews and comparisons to Stereolab, Cabaret Voltaire and Arab Strap. The band were hotly-hyped around the time of BBC Radio 1's 1997 "Sound City" week in Oxford, but their awkward and uncertain live shows (where the band had slides projected over them rather than engage with the audience), together with a move towards more electronic, programmed sounds, seemed to confuse their media supporters. The hype moved elsewhere.
By the time the band released their 2000 debut album "Stillpoint Primer" on the Shinkansen label, they had moved towards an eclectic mix of shoegazing, Daft Punk rhythms, post-rock electronica, and jangling indie-pop, with lyrical themes that ranged from the overtly political to the opaquely arcane. "My Bloody Valentine meets Tortoise" was a typical reaction.
Cody were now recording their music at home and mailing their contributions to one another, which made it less of an issue when the members began to leave Oxford (and, in one case, leave the UK altogether). But this made promotion of their second album, 2002's "Distance Learning", somewhat difficult. The album was their best work - with more confident and memorable songs, and complex arrangements sometimes reminiscent of New Order, Boards Of Canada and Steely Dan (!). Its lack of success eventually led to Cody calling it a day in early 2004 when recordings for a proposed third album began to fizzle out. A sad end for a band who found it hard to fit in in their day, but whose shoetronic sound has many contemporary echoes.
Cody recordings available on demand on the "albums" page:

4. Cody (Manchester, UK)
Formed in Manchester in 2004 (and now disbanded), Cody were a record store sales assistant, a student, a writer, a chainsaw expert and a former DJ. In a smoky room in a dark satanic mill, they carved out a sound that was compared to Elbow, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Mogwai, Sonic Youth and Oceansize. They gigged around Manchester for a few years before deciding to part ways.
A previous incarnation of the band was When Animals Attack.

CODY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Close the door
Birds are chirping
Under the floor
Please forgive me
I am not there
Close the door
Cause i am not there
In the lyrics of CODY's song "Close The Door," the repeated plea to "close the door" can be interpreted as a metaphor for shutting out the outside world and creating a sense of seclusion or solitude. The singer seems to be urging someone to physically close the door to block out the sounds of birds chirping and indicating a desire for privacy and quietness. The reference to "birds chirping under the floor" could symbolize a sense of unease or discord lurking beneath the surface, suggesting inner turmoil or emotional complexity beneath a seemingly peaceful exterior.
The apology in the lyrics, "Please forgive me, I am not there," adds a layer of introspection and vulnerability to the song. It suggests a sense of absence or disconnection, as if the singer is not fully present or engaged with the person they are addressing. This could reflect feelings of guilt, regret, or a sense of detachment from the world around them. The repetition of the request to close the door, coupled with the admission of not being present, conveys a longing for distance or escape from a situation or relationship that may be causing internal conflict.
The lyrics "Close the door 'cause I am not there" can be seen as a declaration of emotional distance or detachment from a specific person or situation. The singer may be acknowledging their own emotional unavailability or inability to fully engage with someone, leading to the decision to remove themselves physically or metaphorically by asking for the door to be closed. This could represent a desire to protect oneself from further emotional entanglement or to retreat into a state of introspection or solitude.
Overall, the lyrics of "Close The Door" by CODY evoke a sense of yearning for solace, introspection, and emotional distance. The imagery of closing the door to block out external distractions, coupled with the themes of apology and absence, conveys a complex emotional landscape filled with longing, vulnerability, and a desire for inner peace. The song paints a picture of a person seeking refuge from the outside world, grappling with internal conflicts, and yearning for a sense of closure or resolution in their relationships and emotions.
