Drahla Release New Single ‘Under the Glass’

0

Leeds art-rock outfit Drahla have returned with a new single called ‘Under the Glass’, their first new material since their 2019 debut album Useless Coordinates. According to a press release, it’s the first preview of their next album, which is mostly unwritten. Give it a listen below.

“‘Under the Glass’ represents a moment of creative reconnection, almost a sense of euphoria in the darkest moments – an awaited, yet slight, respite from reality,” the band explained in a statement. “The song is a collage, reworking early ideas from 2020 with newer work – bridging the gap of time, in the literal sense as well as musically. The lyrics are deliberately vague, using metaphor to interpret personal experience and emotion of loss and grief.”

Eddie Vedder has performed a cover of Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros’ ‘Long Shadow’, from the posthumous 2003 album Streetcore. Lance Bangs filmed Vedder’s performance of the song, which you can check out below.

To celebrate what would have been Joe Strummer’s 70th birthday on Sunday, August 21, Dark Horse Records has also unveiled ‘Fantastic’, a previously unreleased track that was one of Strummer’s final recordings.

Listen to PJ Harvey’s Cover of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Who By Fire’ for ‘Bad Sisters’ Soundtrack

0

PJ Harvey has released a cover of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Who by Fire’, from his 1974 album New Skin for the Old Ceremony. Harvey’s version was recorded with composer Tim Phillips for the soundtrack of the new Apple TV+ show Bad Sisters. Listen to it below.

“It was a very enjoyable day spent recording the version of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Who By Fire’ for Bad Sisters,” Harvey said in a statement. “I had spoken to Sharon Horgan in advance of the recording session, so I understood why she felt the song’s lyric was so perfect for the series, but also understood what nuances of Leonard’s performance she most loved, and therefore what to try and recapture but in my own way. Tim Phillips and I worked together on my performance for the song. I found Tim to be an inspiring and exciting work partner which made the whole experience flow.

Horgan added: “I thought of the words of ‘Who by Fire’ soon after the series was picked up and thought how perfect it would be. Pretty soon after that, I thought of Polly’s voice singing those words and asked Apple if we could make that happen. I had been a fan of Polly for years and was nervous when we zoomed with her. I don’t have a musical vocabulary, but I know what I wanted. But we told her our ideas and about the series – it was quite fledgling at that stage, just photos and words, nothing filmed to show her, but she got it and loved it. We paired her up with Tim Phillips who had scored Shining Vale, so we knew he was genius at what he does. The tone of the whole series is effected by the music and Polly’s voice. I still can’t quite believe we pulled it off.”

Why Is CBD Oil Administered Under The Tongue?

CBD oil is one of the most popular forms of CBD in the skincare industry. It’s highly rated and poses many benefits to customers. CBD oil is usually applied to the skin, being able to target conditions such as acne, psoriasis and eczema. Another way that CBD oil can be administered is by putting drops of it under your tongue. This may seem strange to some people but it is actually a really good way of consuming CBD. 

It is sort of similar to CBD gummies which is another CBD best seller. You can buy high strength CBD gummies online.

In this article we will look at why CBD oil is applied under the tongue and what benefit this has.

Why Take Under The Tongue?

CBD oil can be taken under the tongue because it can be absorbed into the bloodstream that way. This happens via the sublingual membrane. By exposing CBD to the bloodstream, it will allow you to experience the benefits in full effect. These benefits will take effect both physically and mentally. This is actually claimed to be one of the best methods to take CBD.

How To Take It

The process of consuming CBD is simple. Here is our quick and easy guide that you can follow:

  1. Lift your tongue and apply drops of CBD oil under your tongue.
  2. Hold the CBD oil there for at least 60 seconds, allowing as much of the oil to be absorbed as possible.
  3. Most of the oil will be absorbed, however if there is some remaining, you can actually swallow it.

Benefits of CBD

The reason why this method of taking CBD is so effective is because of how quick it works. It gets consumed into your bloodstream extremely fast and therefore you will feel the benefit a lot quicker.

CBD can help physically. It eases the aches and pains of muscles as well as targeting common skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis and eczema. If you suffer from acne on your face, you may also want to buy CBD protective face cream by Loxa Beauty from the official store here.

If you want to look at what other skincare goods you can buy that contain CBD, you can buy CBD products at BoutiqueToYou.com.

A lot of the products you see on these websites have also been heavily recommended by our CBD expert Dr. Laura Geigaite from Loxa Beauty.

How Does It Taste?

We will be completely honest with you, the taste isn’t great. It has often been described as a bitter flavour that can be quite intense. The reason for this is the highly concentrated oils that are used in the product, derived from the cannabis plant. Although the taste isn’t good, the after effects are. If you are really struggling with the taste, afterwards you can always wash it down with some water. Please ensure you choose a good quality CBD oil because the worse the quality, the worse the taste.
