    'Unravelling' is Villareal's fourth studio album and was originally released in 2013. The band decided to follow their heart and delve into a truly late night experience. Citing Talk Talk, David Sylvian and Wilco as inspirations the songs were pieced toggether in various late night recording sessions with contributors asked to add parts with only the most basic of musical information!

    US tastemakers DIVIDE AND CONQUER loved the album and rated it 4.3/5, read the review by following the link below:

about

'Sirens' is all about Luke Ellis the cello/string arranger on 'Unravelling'. We worked together on and off for about 6 months prior ot recording and Luke wrote and arranged between 6-10 parts for each of the songs he was involved with.
'Sirens' features part of a home demo of the night i discovered the chords, recorded just as a huge storm hit, captured on my 'handy recording device'. In the latter part of the track I wanted to try and create musical imagery that would compliment a real life encounter with Sirens, those otherworldly beauties who lured sailors to their deaths...

lyrics

Throw your shoes into the sea
Show begins don't be late
Follow me big mistake
Words are blind they waste my time
Everyone stands alone
in their heart spider's go

Chorus

All this time wasted on your cloud nine
Learning to fall apart to the beat of your heart

You wear a smile that to the eye
Ran the race, came in first
But in truth did your worst
The world moved on and proved us wrong
So set sail go remote
Leave this land leave the boat...

Repeat Chorus

Warning signs those sirens that scream all night
Follow the old black line back to the start

(Four hundred day July appearing over night/If I can't change your mind well maybe I'll change mine)

I'm hearing voices I'm hearing sirens...


(Words & Music Simon Parker)
