Vex Phoenix Wonderfully energetic, bright, colourful and meaningful electropop, with great elements of distortion, nostalgia and chiptune. Gets stuck in your head and gives you the good kind of goosebumps. 💜 Favorite track: Working Sundays.

Cities 04:41
Cities Lyrics She's got a heart of dreams that I'll never see As we lay under skies and the galaxies And this world has changed but still the same And people if they were here today Would tell her that tomorrow's like yesterday And that dreams They never seem to fade But when I'm breaking down her walls again She's scared I'll get too close And though she's never on her own She always feels alone But when I'm breaking down her walls again She's scared I'll get too close And though she's never on her own She always feels alone Under the space of night Apocalypse city's where we both reside And these years Have passed us in a day And walking through these empty streets She's smiling at the world that she always sees And that time Could never take away But when I'm breaking down her walls again She's scared I'll get too close And though she's never on her own She always feels alone But when I'm breaking down her walls again She's scared I'll get too close And though she's never on her own She always feels alone And when I'm breaking down her walls again She's scared I'll get too close And though she's never on her own She always feels alone But when I'm breaking down her walls again She's scared I'll get too close And though she's never on her own She always feels alone Together we know that we can survive

Awake 03:41
Hard to say goodbye Harder not to try These regrets keep me lying awake at night And when I close my eyes I see us standing at the edge I didn’t mean to fall I do it every call What was said keeps me lying awake at night But we can say it all Even if it’s just pretend Cos today Gonna run away I don’t care if I have to go all night This time it’s too late And I don’t want to make it Hard for us to walk away Hard to say goodbye Done it a thousand times No regrets keep me lying awake at night But when I close my eyes I see that this is not the end Now they’re telling me to slow down Cus I’ve never known how But I’m stopping outside your door And you know I couldn’t pretend I want to be leaving Cos I’m waiting for something Cos to day Gonna run away I don’t care if i have to go all night This time it’s too late And I don’t want to make it Hard for us to walk away And though we know it’s time And our past starts fading away I’ll try to keep it bright So that we won’t do this again And though we know it’s time And our past starts fading away I’ll try to keep it bright

Can anybody in this old town Tell me where that I'm supposed to be Cause I've been running from the very start but Towards the end of where I started It's hard to say I'll be alright So I won't say anything Cause when the days are over you'll see that I'm not the person that I used to be Cause I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays And though you get a little closer the moments gone yeah, the city's got a piece of me Cause I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays Can anybody in this old town Tell me who that I'm supposed to be Cause I've been looking out for road signs Driving where I'm not supposed to be And everybody on the sidelines They say you've gotta promise that you won't leave So I keep running through the red lights Just so I know I can go Cause when the days are over you'll see that I'm not the person that I used to be Cause I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays And though you get a little closer the moments gone yeah, the city's got a piece of me Cause I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays Standing on the outside I'm running from my rise to my fall Just tell me I'll be alright Or tell me nothing at all Cause I've been looking out for road signs Driving where I'm not supposed to be So I keep running from the headlights Just so I know Cause when the days are over you'll see that I'm not the person that I used to be Cause I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays And though you get a little closer the moments gone yeah, the city's got a piece of me Cause I've been working Sundays, yeah, I've been working Sundays

about

teamRKT are an electronic-pop duo from Portstewart, Northern Ireland, now based in London. They grew up together making chiptune - part of the first internet generation, they lived cities apart when they would send each other tracks by email, constantly improving on each other’s work. Since they have expanded into an electronic & pop production duo.

The Cities EP is a statement of intent from teamRKT - to make high-energy, emotional electronic music that deals with themes of growing up, love, and nostalgia, all through the lens of digital life.

teamRKT’s excitement for the future shapes their work. Their influences from music, video games, and the digital world culminate to make their live performance an audiovisual spectacle with instruments, 1989 Nintendo Gameboys, electronics, and a kaleidoscopic visual show.
