Song for Carrie Mathison One more look inside the house listen carefully to your headphones you can't confess you felt the blame you saw him sleeping on the floor And you've been watching all this time that you've watched him you fell in love and now you're broken he ruined your life but you've already forgiven all Beautiful colours changing their shapes when the night comes wonderful sounds that you've never listened electro-shocks you were so close you almost believed it you were safe it was so close that you keep on dreamin' but miles away And deep inside you understand that your family can be right that you should try to forget him and maybe start a simpler life But you can't stand it pretending the world is safe and staying home you want more action cooking lasagna for the girls is not enough Beautiful colours changing their shapes when the night comes wonderful sounds that you've never listened electro-shocks you were so close you both almost believed it you were safe it was so close that you keep on dreamin' but miles away whatever you decide would be fine the cabin days will always be on my mind and after being eight years in the dark you made me see the light

Indie pop or whatever! Sometimes i sleep too much and in my mind, as soon as it can run, I am there again staring at the modern faces shouting out loud as ever These things spread over everything how can´t you love it? ´cause I just can sigh And these times I wouldn´t wake up How could I try? if it´s my song on the radio we´ve been talking about our expectations indie pop or whatever! now i´m young and feel so empty, yes i'm lost and can´t think clearly they've got it, i miss it, you kids know how to have fun nd these times I wouldn´t wake up How could I try? if it´s my song on the radio we´ve been talking about our expectations indie pop forever! now i´m young and feel so empty, yes i'm lost and can´t think clearly they've got it, i miss it, you kids know how to have fun

Daylight Saving Time just a lot of faces running on my mind they have interesting lifes with future, they have plans it´s so sad,how anybody can feel right? can´t find a way to rearrange it so far I´ve never even realised time flies whatching other people lifes What if I try to take it and it only makes us cry and what if I forget these words and leave it all behind it´s so sad,how anybody can feel right? can´t find a way to rearrange it so far I´ve never even realised time flies whatching other people lifes just a lot of faces running on my mind

A secret plan Where does everybody go when i lie in my bed? it feels like it will never be cold outside are you ready to go? Go! ready to go ready to go, a secret plan! Could you tell me there´s no hope so I can calm myself? if there´s no reason to be here right now Are you ready to go? Go! ready to go ready to go, a secret plan! I don't think I can take part of what I don't care about we won't make it, let's get out of it We are ready to go. Go! ready to go ready to go, a secret plan! And then it will be over and then it'll be our time

about

Indiepop or Whatever! is the new EP released at Shelflife Records limited to 300 copies. Includes four new songs. The title of the EP is an attempt to acknowledge all the musical influences in the band. Although it's obvious that indiepop is one of their main ones, they also take inspiration from 90's britpop, shoegaze, punk-pop, synthpop and even grunge. Elena explains "when sometimes people ask what kind of music we make, the answer is indiepop... or whatever you may call it." She later wrote a song with that name and it seemed to fit perfectly as the title of the EP.

"Song for Carrie Mathison", the first single from the EP, is a pure-pop song filled with energetic jangly guitars and bittersweet synths and is dedicated to Homeland's Carrie Mathison, one of Elena's and Antonio's favorite TV shows. "Indiepop or Whatever" is a twee punk-pop song written about what it's like being in a band and performing live at popfests. At times it all suddenly turns into a dream, so far away from everyday life that you'd wish it could last forever. "Daylight Saving Time" is considered by the band as Nalda's grungiest song. The noisy 90's guitars go along with lyrics about being desperately sad for not finding your place in life. "A Secret Plan", which has the super catchy electronic bass and toy synths, is a song written about hope and getting past the worst of times. When Nalda Became Punk continue to lead the new chapter of brilliant Spanish bands and we're pleased to help bring their music to the world.
