1.
You saw him at the place this afternoon He was only partly there The rushings in of fearful thoughts hid him from view And his radical truths were partly banal, partly false, and mostly true.   It’s best not to look at the sun Bask in its rays for a while, then stand in the shade It’s wise not to swim too deep Stay away from where the monsters are made   You biked back home by the tortuous route Ready to give an account Of the chaotic despair you’d heard And found and you found you couldn’t say a word   It’s best not to look at the sun Bask in its rays for a while, then stand in the shade It’s wise not to swim too deep Stay away from where the monsters are made
2.
Under the covers you hear the storm And when the lights come break through the walls Time is the daughter. Trees are the edge If you’ll bring us we’ll sign the pledge
3.
Speed date speed dial Food miles shift style Mercantile man’s Juvenile fans Substance decline Not yours but mine I’d give up All this   Shock high thought down Replicant town Can’t get enough clog up with stuff   He smiles I’d give up All this   Let me give you a hand Warm sand Live off the land Try to understand Good writing Mood lighting Love biting Land sighting She smiles
4.
Three apples in a bowl Will also go The marksman said And I will live another day And drink my coffee eight thousand miles away
5.
Her breathing imagined into a slight singing breeze that drifts through the skin eyelids half-closed against the blink the 6w hum of the fridge an upstairs fool floorboard expanding kitchen clock ticking - there all along - springing into notice a jackdaw complaining super-heated world clicks, rumbles and wordless shouts a symphony without rhythm or key, intolerable sucked a jackdaw complaining clicks, rumbles and wordless sucked to a point-bang
6.
It’s not as if he ever cared for you The whole is your own screwed up point of view You need to do your research Keep your half-baked champagne views where they belong In the dirt, in the dirt, in the dirt   Don’t get me wrong don’t get me wrong don’t get me wrong they may grow strong and tall They may inform us all. But I wouldn’t make that call from where I stand   And the thoughts Can cut out within I’ll find it more And the score Is butter to win the made up law Metamorph From someone who’s shaken to their core
7.
Anna 09:25 video
No one sees truth we’re all the same I’m tired of war I’m bored of blame The best of us alone is lame Spectators never win the game Anna we are legion Anna we are legion   Every position of the sun In the heavens Every ripple every wave In open oceans Every leaf on every tree In every wood As Whitman says you contain multitudes Anna you are legion Anna you are legion

about

Thought Bubble are an alt electronic group, based in the remote Shropshire hills of the UK. At the start of 2024, synths player Chris Cordwell and percussionist Nick Raybould were joined by songwriter and vocalist Peter Gelf. The newly expanded line-up immediately released the critically acclaimed ‘Universe Zero’. Building on the eclectic energy of that sixth album, Thought Bubble are now releasing ‘Mostly True’.

Showcasing the trio’s distinctive combination of layered synths, live percussion and left field vocals, ‘Mostly True’ explores wide ranging themes, including drone warfare (‘Three Apples’), chaos and order (the percussion-driven ‘Rattlepool’) and madness (‘It’s Best Not To Look At The Sun’). Several also have videos online. ‘Mostly True’ will be available on vinyl, CD, cassette and digitally through the ever cool Moolakii Club Audio Interface from June 25th, 2025.

"Thought Bubble serve up yet another hypnotic blend of out-there electronics, analogue percussion and penetrating vocals
on their seventh album.

Complex, captivating stuff.”

“...rising to the top on a reputation as one of the most exciting acts
around, melding electronics and live instrumentation. It’s out-there and unbelievably alluring.”
Electronic Sound

"The trio of Chris Cordwell (synths), Nick Raybould (percussion), and Peter Gelf (vocals) return less than 18 months after Universe Zero, but the leap between the two albums feels seismic.

The textures are sharper. The compositions are stranger. And the whole thing feels alive in a way few electronic records manage.

With Mostly True, they’ve proven again that they’re making music on their own terms, with total conviction. The addition of Gelf last year was a full pivot. They’ve embraced storytelling, confrontation, abstraction, and vulnerability in equal measure. This is a deep plunge into a very particular kind of sound world. Not dream pop. Not ambient. Not post-rock. Something else entirely. Something hard to name."
