Drained 01:50
All the breath that your body took from me I'd suck it in The energy Fills me up All the breath that your body gave to me As if pouring yourself out endlessly Through the silence and into the dark Something's up Something's up All the breath that your body drained of me And never sharing anything Truth, defiance, eventually crushed Something's up Something's up (Come and get your heaven if it tastes right)
2.
Sleep Me Off 02:42
Not sure at all Everywhere I go, there's a piece of you on every wall Wish I was blind to the cause If I can get through this I can survive anywhere that I fall Breaking through Breaking through The air is clearer after water has consumed you Where do I fall? If there's a little more trust I wouldn't need to fall at all It's a faustian pact it's enamel that's cracked It's the same expectation derived from a physical blow (and so you're) Sleep me off Sleep, sleep me off And you'll have changed your mind by the time you wake up By the time you wake up Sleep me off (you've gotta) Time to wake up Change your mind I'll never change your mind
3.
Harmless and cunning if you need someone I'm for hire In a second I'll be ready Dress to kill In a second round of anger I am listening to you and her Bring up the bodies All the bodies Fuck the bodies Leave the bodies We'll be here Arrogant peace protest Well if it comes down to this hangover I wanna be dead Ready for action you're a plague You put the hurt in my hand It doesn't matter Nothing matters Nothing matters If it mattered you'd be here Oh are you selfish already? I'm impressed Well in amidst all the decay we're torn and frayed There is no rest Arrogant peace protest
4.
After Hours 04:59
Tried to look past this I can't do it anymore I tried to be distant But I can't separate you and her I don't want this hatred this need to Tear you apart in my hands I know I have made this From my guarded emotional stance I've been tailing you in the dark trying to learn all your patterns I've been following you after hours how did I let this happen? I'm not afraid of you I'm not the same as you I'm not a clone all my pieces alone But I am I'm up after hours for you Told you no I haven't You can't see what it would cost Can't make it apparent Without feeling that I've lost We lie because it's easier Than tearing walls down Faced with my ambition I retreat to then from the now And can you bring me down to Earth? Make me understand, make me understand A noise That urges Compassion Oh I didn't care what it took to break you I didn't care what it took to break you An ocean A world Your heart Compassion Your hands Your actions I didn't care what it took to break you I didn't care what it took to break you

about

THE CANDIDATE EP is the debut record from angular rockers Scatterchild. The four track EP encapsulates the quirky but anthemic sound of the band, bringing to mind bands like The Strokes, Interpol, Failure & Porcupine Tree.

The EP is also accompanied by four interlinking music videos directed by Ola El Awadly. In the film, a political candidate finds his campaign deteriorating, and with it, his life, confidence, and sense of self.

THE CANDIDATE EP is a definitive mantra by which to judge the group.
