FAKE IS THE NAME

Wipe out the past
to build a world,
a home that last
More than a day

In this world
You’ll find a way
To a better place
Where we can stay
gotta keep moving on

Black man white man yellow man
red man blue man monkey man
Been hunted over lands and seas

In this world
Movies are real
Fake is the name
Of this old game

In this world.
Or in this dream
No one controls Reality
Gotta keep moving on

In my dream I wore the shoes of Charlton Heston
Planet of apes powerless
The monkeys left me no chance
They had their revenge
I was on their side
But there is a time when it is too late
it’s only a movie

In this world
We are drifting
Just Like a feather
Upon the wind

Please Hold my hand
Tight trough the night
searching for the past
we’re coming back
Gotta keep moving on

Black man white man yellow man
red man blue man monkey man
Been hunted persecuted, deported
over lands and Seas

Get some fresh air with Vicki Rummler

Originally from Michigan, USA, Vicki Rummler has lived in several European countries and is now based in Paris. She composed the music and lyrics to LEAPS AND BOUNDS during a wilderness artist residency at Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park (aka "the Porkies”), coming full circle to her home state.

LEAPS AND BOUNDS release date : may 20th 2022. Vicki Rummler talks about life and present the folk album created in the Porkies.

LEAPS AND BOUNDS is woodsy, with subtle, uncluttered, sometimes humorous arrangements. Vicki Rummler accompanies herself on the piano and her acoustic folk guitar (a Martin GPC-16E), against a backdrop of authentic sounds from the Porkies.

All about DRIED UP DREAMS

The idea for the album DRIED UP DREAMS by Jay and the Cooks came about because Jay Ryan wanted to talk about his experience as an immigrant. Grouping songs with a blues feel sprinkled with country reminds him of the country of his younger years, "Dried Up Dreams" alludes to various subjects going from simple pleasures such as reading or the cuisine to politics, and the people around him. One of the album’s attractions are the heavy, imposing drums and bass that reminds one of some 70's recordings. Take note that the album was recorded on analog vintage equipment.

DRIED UP DREAMS on video

JAY AND THE COOKS don't beat around the bush: the sexagenarians express themselves loud and strong without digression, the subjects are simple and direct with tracks like "Poor Everybody" or "Dried up Hearts". All the songs are inspired by real life stories or very close to reality.

All songs are in video realized by the canadian Mirkö Lafrenière or the french Lucas Ranoux.
