about

Having focused on stripped back songs on the ‘Monarch’ EP, Tarn developed the ‘SugarCoated’ EP by incorporating elements of hyper pop, alt pop and left of centre inflections. In 2023, Tarn has been developing his next body of work which will continue in a new direction. The first taste of this is the single ‘Papier-Mâché’ a dynamic slow burn, incorporating a new sonic palette of distorted guitars, synthesisers, and deflated drum sounds.

lyrics

Goodluck, how am I getting on with?
Try my best, but I can’t put my finger on it
I’ll set it aside

Tough time, how are you gonna deal with it?
Do my best, but I can’t stick with it
I don’t mind this time

For all your troubles
See the funny side
Think I finally learnt the punchline

Turns out it’s only papier-mâché
It’s just something we say to keep the ghosts out

Turns out it’s only papier-mâché
There’s no need to be afraid and let your guard down

Are we gonna build and build them up now?

Should’ve been my bread and butter
Didn’t’ want to suffer another
Let downs always coincide

Should’ve left my hopes in the gutter
Didn’t want to shoulder the bother
Took a wee while to realise

For all your troubles
See the funny side
Think I finally learnt the punchline

Turns out it’s only papier-mâché
It’s just something we say to keep the ghosts out

Turns out it’s only papier-mâché
There’s no need to be afraid and let your guard down

Are we gonna build and build them up now?

Are we gonna build and build them up now?
(Keeps going little by little, and I don’t feel this brittle)
Are we gonna, are we?
(Dust settles, dust settles in time)
Are we gonna build and build them up now?
(Keeps going little by little, and I don’t feel this brittle)
Are we gonna, are we?
(It fizzles, it fizzles in time)

Turns out it’s only papier-mâché
It’s just something we say to keep the ghosts out

Turns out it’s only papier-mâché
There’s no need to be afraid and let your guard down

Are we gonna build and build them up now?
