Nothing more than some casual interference Nothing more than some normal otherness If I could be with someone else If I could be like someone else Nothing more than some casual interference Will you wait for me to come down Will you wait for me to come down

Some feel if I'm ok Some indecision Some feel if I'm ok Some indecision Existential crisis My whole life has been like this Picking up the vibe of the many Tunned antennae Matchin beats will tend to bend me Checking the 3 point turn Wrecking a free form firmly Plan it in Ideality Frame reality Life like chef's speciality Gravity returns Trip another twist in the tale to be turned Whika Whika plagerist or just giving props Only time will tell If I's creaming the crop In the underbelly dwelling of the desert Arrive at present Back in time back in presence Sublimest acquireless dire death Arise from fire fresh desirest Rapping the higher depth wideless In the border boundaries of the body Fell the folly Human form is found illogically Categorically Left and right strapped for authority aberrantly Right fight like might for seniority Leaving an untapped source Sorcery I plant a seed to grown on tree Flowing free A blowing breeze Showing the knowledge see

I should have seen this coming from a hundred miles away I should have seen this coming from 300 days away In the corner is a boy paralysed with a blank look on his face Another corner was a girl realised that this is not her place Make or break us, break or make us This will make or break us (from a hundred miles away, from a hundred miles away) Make or break us, break or make us This will make or break us From a hundred miles away From a hundred miles away Make or break us, break or make us This will make or break us From a 300 days away, From a 300 days away We shifted place to red dust face The plan was set To make or break us Happy families we felt the truth In text and talk Truth in walk and heart To make or break us I should have seen this coming from a hundred miles away I should have seen this coming from 300 days away

Synth-heavy electro-pop from way out in the Australian desert - Yuendumu, NT!

In a home studio in one of the remotest places on the planet, Jeremy Conlon is busy bringing to life his latest incarnation of Cooperblack. He lives (with his synths and drum machines) in a small indigenous community in the Central Australian desert called Yuendumu, four hours drive north-east of Alice Springs.

Return to The Big Eyes is his first release in a few years, and sees him back in the Northern Territory, his adopted home. Heavy on the synths, crushed drums, pop hooks and falsetto, the EP is five tracks of desert electro-pop, if that’s even a thing.

Return To The Big Eyes is also the sound of Cooperblack coming full circle, after mutating from a solo act to a warped four-piece motorik rock band for their previous album, My Art Is Bleeding.

This EP is Cooperblack’s return to electronic music, written alone in isolation; just Jeremy, his drum machines and synths in a makeshift studio way out in the middle of nowhere. Add into the mix a broken heart, being away from friends and family and you have a perfect recipe for a bunch of melancholic, yet somehow upbeat, electro-pop gems.

The first single, I Assume, features a clay-animation film clip by Melbourne based artist Alex Machin, and the track 3 Point Turn features a guest appearance from stream-of-consciousness female MC elmstonchrist, digitally delivered across the Australian outback, from Darwin to Yuendumu.

Return To The Big Eyes in the sixth release on ZZAAPP Records, an independent record label from Arnhem Land, NT, Australia that focuses on underground electronic music from out-of-the-way places. Check zzaapp.net for more info.
