I'm not sure I love how I'm living Sense the fear of lips, secret kissing It's not the time for sweet hesitation Don't push me too hard coz I'm falling Stop you stupid game, I am leaving Don't push me too far now I'm falling Do you hear my call? I want to be alone Mad on your sister But I'd prefer to leave than kiss her again I'm not sure to love when I'm lying I met her before we got together Stop our foolish game, I am leaving Don't try to follow me when I'm falling Can you feel it now I'm not yours anyhow Mad on your sister But I'd prefer to leave than kiss her again Mad on your sister I think I'll kill myself if I see her again

Superlover 03:04
So come on I don't know her name Not such a shame I've always trusted in fate So hold on You're not my mum Let me go my way I'm always lucky with games She's a superlover And I want you to know her It's a play Hey hey So tonight's Not gonna change my mind Just another try Another roll of the dice She's a superlover And I want you to know her It's a play Hey hey

Day By Day 03:38
I just cannot prepare a single thing to wear It takes me so much time to choose what will be mine I just cannot be scared of the days I'll have to face I don't know what I have to fear I've been practising for years Ooh son That's my story for so long Ooh son One of the best things I've ever done Day by day I try to live this way Seems unreal But this is something I got to feel Day by day I try to live this way Seems unreal But I love you anyway I love you anyway I love you anyway

Stereo Songs 04:33
Nothing failed, always someway to get by I remember well from those teenage times Where did it come from? Stereo songs It's all over now, good old days are through One last chance to stop people feeling blue What have we done? Stereo songs It's taking me back to the place we first met The sounds of the time, LPs and cassettes What have we done? Stereo songs

Special Gun 03:36
You say: 'I am the one' You just keep on hanging on To your crown You say: 'I am the sun' You just need someone to burn So we run You say: 'I am so strong' You just cheat as life goes on But you're wrong You say: 'I'll be adored' I get bored, I get stunned You need a special gun Special gun When the time has come to choose Special gun For the things you have to prove Special gun Bang bang Special gun I'm your special gun Use me while you can I'm your special gun Bang bang

Dan 04:19
I've got a friend His name is Dan Feet on the floor Always next door He's waiting for something to happen He's waiting for something to share So come on outside You've nothing to hide Live on the road Smile like a goat He's looking for someone to hang on He's looking for someone to join Dan My friend He's looking for something to happen He's looking for something to wake Dan My friend

Get Drunk 02:56
All I wanna do is get drunk I prefer the punk to the funk Losing my time in a bar That's not the way to be a star But I don't care, I'm unaware when I get drunk All I wanna do is get drunk So great to feel free and go mad Cynical smile on my face That's not the way to be embraced But I don't care, I'm not to share when I get drunk I wanna get drunk, I love to get drunk Come on and get… I'm really fucked I'm too drunk Nothing can stop me now Can't remember what I've done That's not the way to be someone But I don't care, I'm not the same when I'm too drunk I'm really too drunk, I try to stay dumb Get out or get… Touch I need someone to touch It's time for you to rush You'd better run You'd better run before I get drunk

Paper Tigers 03:07
Paper tigers all around in our lives Am I right? Paper tigers from the past take control And leave us dry Paper tigers, always on top, such a good job Make me laugh Paper tigers They don't need truth, they don't want proof Dead end street Ooh let us burn some Paper tigers Anyone can become what you are Paper tigers Will you please let us breathe Shut your mouth They really need someone to kick their ass tonight I don't want to be the last to have the right to fight Ooh let us burn some So come on, come on, come on I'm really sorry if you thought that you were right It's time for you to understand you're not my type You really need someone to kick your ass tonight I won't be the last to break your bones and hold you tight Ooh let us burn some So come on, come on, come on
9.
Today I feel that something's running through your brain Your eyes are filled with dust You look insane You're out of control You're still alone So far from the ground Today You're prey for any sorrow, any pain A pain that rushes and crushes and breaks you down You don't wanna go You don't wanna know Stay far from the blow But now I'm here, so close, to say What everyone can see What everyone can guess Cause you're a mess Someone who cheats, who tricks You're never clear No, you're never clean I'm really please to say to you I'm really pleased to say those things to you The monster = you

Slow 03:25
Early in the morning I'm wandering the streets I just cannot stop walking The pavement feel so deep I see pictures on my ceiling I'm trying not to weep Another Sunday in the morning And I cannot fall asleep Slowdown on my knees Slowdown I wanna breathe Slowdown and find the way Slowdown it's not my day Slow motion in my life Please take me on your side

about

<.> is a stunning UK debut from Belgian band Showstar: ten pure pop songs, dark and shiny, powerful and gentle, sophisticated and so simple - hard-edged pop with bittersweet vocals, scything guitars and glorious melodies. It is a wholly fresh sound, moving between the massively joyous noise of songs like Mad On Your Sister and Day By Day and delicate guitar, keyboard and percussion patterns on tracks such as Dan and Stereo Songs.

<.> was produced with crystalline clarity by in-demand London-based producer Gareth Parton. Gareth has worked with the Rakes, the Futureheads, Placebo, the Beta Band, the Polyphonic Spree, the Go! Team, Death In Vegas and many others. The album was recorded at Polysound Studio (Brussels) and Fortress Studio (London) over 25 days.
