Shouldn't Do Lyrics and Music © 2015 Jai Pyne Maybe you had me Maybe you want me Maybe you need me from the get go Thinking about it Not thinking about it Trying to feel it Uh oh oh Doing all these things that we shouldn't do Doing all these things that we shouldn't do You tell me you're moving I tell you to stay there I tell you to do it You tell me you made it And my mind is racing like a man with a bucket on fire Then I'm chasing persuading you to my desires Doing all these things that we shouldn't do Doing all these things that we shouldn't do That we shouldn't do Maybe you had me Maybe you want me Maybe you need me from the get go Thinking about it Not thinking about it Trying to feel it Uh oh oh (Siren) Doing all these things that we shouldn't do Doing all these things that we shouldn't do That we shouldn't do

Papa Claps 03:08
Papa Claps Lyrics and Music © 2015 Jai Pyne I suppose I should write something down this time when I walk I slip because my shoes are shit I'm naked I'm stripped of all the good things all the good things in my head You fucked up my brain and in this weather inclement weather heavy weather whatever you wanna call it things just go the wrong way I got my trees in a twist and my pants are pissed but I try to keep my clothes on tight but I don't feel right and the lights dim once again in the cinema Hold on tight to your memories With the light you might get weak in the knees Bleed in the brain on the shore on the seas The lights get dim as the ice starts to thin I propose that I figured nothing out this time when I walk I slip my motor skills are shit it's dark in my room it smells like soup my thoughts I shoot going loop de loop you travelled on the train over bridge not far away but this sadness you carry for twenty years like a back pack with a boulder Hold on tight to your memories With the light you might get weak in the knees Bleed in the brain on the shore on the seas The lights get dim as the ice starts to thin

about

After spending the better part of a decade at the helm of much loved Sydney band The Paper Scissors, Jai Pyne went quiet. Suffering from burnout and general music inertia, Jai took a couple of years hermitage in his inner city dojo: to recuperate, to listen to new music, to start a cafe, to surf.

At the close of 2013 Jai set himself a challenge: to upload a new track every month of 2014 to his SoundCloud. These tracks displayed absolute abandon and no respect for genre, no fear of style, no boundaries. Twelve slices travelling between weirdo disco, lo-fi soul, hip hop, bass music and pop. His love for making music returned, Jai was creating again; making songs for family and friends. Most of all he was making the music that he wanted to hear.

Jaisus is Jai Pyne’s musical second coming. Comprised of six compositions from 2014, the EP revisits Jai’s roots as a maker of lo-fi bedroom music and also provides a glimpse into the future: sounds and ideas smashed together with reckless care and pure joy.

The EP’s lead single ‘Papa Claps’ is an upbeat-sounding reflection on the sadness of lost memories and loved ones. The song perfectly illustrates Jai’s growth as a songwriter and musician. “I went to film school post-The Paper Scissors and studied screen music at AFTRS,” says Jai. “It helped me grow as a writer and producer as I started to think about sounds differently.” The result is a collage of beats, guitar loops and lo-fi percussion brought together by Jai’s distinctive vocal.

To coincide with the EP’s release, Jai is thrilled to introduce new label-venture Turk Town Records. Co-founded by Jai and his good friend Caleb Jacobs (Plum, The Cathys) the label will release debut EPs for both Jai and Plum.
