I think I saw you at my window
You know it’s dark at night but I know
I think I saw you at my window
I think I always see your shadow
There is something deliciously sinister about calling your project Jet Cemetery. It suggests speed meeting stillness, glamour grounded, chrome kissing concrete. Out of Austin, TX, where idealism and irony share a drink, TaSzlin Trébuchet (of Fuck Money) and Lars Wolfshield (Wolfshield Records) convene as if at a séance for obsolete futures. The result: The Canary, arriving March 12th, 2026, on vinyl, tape, and Dolby Atmos, because even despair deserves spatial depth.
These are not dilettantes dabbling in dystopia. Both have histories as artist-activists, fluent in the language of liberation, dignity, and direct action. Yet Lights Out, the single at the centre of this slow-burn transmission, shrinks the revolution to a room, a window, a mind in mild disarray. The lyrics fixate on a presence glimpsed at night, perhaps memory, perhaps paranoia, perhaps that old lover who still rents space in your peripheral vision. The relationship is ash; the bridges politely immolated.
Trébuchet traces the track’s lineage with refreshing candour: “My influences on this one come from growing up in San Antonio in the 90s, listening to electronic music, trip-hop and freestyle.” You can hear that education. The beat carries a certain after-hours patience. Keys drift in like half-remembered radio hooks from a humid Texas dusk. There’s a sense of Y2K déjà vu, the ghost of a CD wallet rattling around in the backseat.
Wolfshield frames the song’s thesis with therapeutic clarity: “Lights Out begins as an internal struggle and culminates in found freedom and empowerment. Why do we keep holding on to that which doesn’t serve us? It’s time to let go, to say goodbye, to put a foot down…and to stop letting toxic things, whether they be people, thought patterns, or substances, govern our realities.” It’s a manifesto delivered with nightclub poise: self-help for the softly disillusioned.
The video opens with a wink: a news segment interviewing goth vampires. Yes, really. It is knowingly absurd, which is precisely the point. From there, it slips into cinéma vérité drift: rooftops at dusk, wandering streets, abandoned buildings, nature reclaiming neglect. Shot in Bordeaux, Paris, and Austin, directed and edited by Trébuchet, it feels like a love letter to that era when digital glitches were accidental…and therefore divine. A dreamy montage of youth in transit, flirting with freedom and the faint possibility of falling apart.
Watch below:
Produced by Trébuchet, engineered by Charles Godfrey at Point West Recording, mastered by Marco Ramirez at Britannia Road Studio, Lights Out arrives polished but personal. It’s electronic music delivered with dry wit and a raised eyebrow. This is a song for fans of Boan, Las Eras, Madeline Goldstein, The Cranberries, and for anyone who has ever stared out a window at 2 a.m., convinced they saw something move. Or perhaps simply themselves, reflected back, asking awkward questions.

Trip-jop arrived like a sultry, club-inspired dusk, dismissing daylight’s certainties and concerns for a languid, liminal dream. In the mid-90s, before the millennium’s digital glare, Bristol basslines moved at the speed of doubt. Beats dragged their heels; voices hovered, half-present, half-remembered. It was club culture turned inward – after the rave, before the reckoning. Chill electronica became a thinking person’s pulse, vinyl crackle as philosophy, delay like tracing passages in a diary. In the work of Massive Attack, Sneaker Pimps, Moby, Portishead, and Tricky, paranoia felt plush and intimate. A vibe for the century’s end: slow, suspicious, sensual—music that mistrusted the future and made a home in that hesitation.
Now, out of that fin de siècle friction comes The Guillotines: producer Kubi Öztürk, vocalist Alexandra Kimel, filmmaker-bassist Simon Baucks, and multi-instrumentalist Benni Zimmerman. Four vantage points, one shared pulse.
Their latest release, pool painted black (Kubi’s Side) tilts their recent debut single toward that slipstream of those beloved 90s trip-hop acts. KU8I stretches the original track (released last month) into a slow-burn glide: bass low and patient, percussion clipped and clean, Kimel’s clear voice suspended in cool air. Memory hums beneath it: CD booklets, dim bedrooms, first freedoms, yet the arrangement keeps its footing in the present tense. It’s not quite nostalgia… more nostalgia-adjacent.
There’s an elegant poise and sophistication in the track: dreamy textures drift over grounded grooves; delay blooms, then clears. The remix moves like a mild spring drive, windows cracked, the city sliding past in sodium blur. It offers respite without retreat, intimacy without inertia. Sometimes it’s just good to zone out with a great tune like this one…a small sanctuary for late hours, wrapped in a Snuggie eating cheese and crackers after a chaotic day of deadlines and doomscrolling.
“Feeling like a trip you take in the backseat of your parents’ car on a mild spring day, Kubi’s side is willing to have you look at the pool painted black in a wholly different light,” says the band.
Listen to pool painted black (Kubi’s Side) below:
As an opening statement, pool painted black (Kubi’s Side) sketches the band’s coordinates: electronica brushed with blues, post-rock patience, a hint of indie-dance propulsion. Chaos and order share the same room. Berlin breathes in; The Guillotines breathe out.

Relax away the nonsense I have set in front of me
Pocket lollipops operates as if an album were a living entity, a puzzle to solve. Their latest record, Number 2990 (Part 1), presents itself as a gradual flow of ideas spread over months, blending time, routine, and anticipation. Created during the hot summer of 2025 and mastered by Kramer, it exudes a unique authority—carefully preserved yet still wild, unrestrained, and slightly amused with itself. This embodies Miami’s experimental noise rock and punk, reminiscent of an art exhibit that intentionally avoids explaining itself.
Maitejosune Urrechaga and Tony Kapel position sound as one component among language, gesture, visual texture, and patience. The six-month rollout – one track per month, looping back on itself – functions like a game board with missing instructions. In this perpetual game of strategy, meaning slides sideways as sensation takes over and the record listens back.
Throughout Number 2990 (Part 1), Pocket of Lollipops blurs music, performance, and visual thinking until the distinctions feel unnecessary. Album covers, live gestures, and aesthetic choices are not accessories; they are extensions of the same idea. This is a record that behaves like a question asked repeatedly, with slight variations each time.
Slingshot sets the tone through accumulation. Spoken word floats over uneasy synth shapes, repetition acting as propulsion rather than hook. The track leans into a curious lineage that brushes against Sonic Youth’s permissive noise logic and Delia Derbyshire’s sense of texture as thought. Community, drawing, archives, small acts of making – these images stack up quietly. Release comes as a sense that enough has been gathered to move. The Cloak’s Whisper tightens the focus. Bass leads with intent, minimalist post-punk drumming keeping things stripped and deliberate. The vocal delivery sits close to sprechstimme, flat and forceful in its calm, recalling Delta 5’s chant-like directness. The song circles boundaries, intrusion, and self-possession. The repetition of “you exist” lands like a private spell, understated yet firm.
Time Traveler opens outward. A forlorn guitar introduces a hazy interplay of male and female voices, echoing and slightly askew. There’s a looseness that nods toward Yacht’s off-kilter pop instincts, where forward motion feels communal. Images of breaking, watching, and loving strangers appear as fragments. Time stretches, bends, keeps moving.
Plaid Shoes brings childhood imagery into collision with something heavier. Atonal chanting rides atop tribal percussion, playful and ominous in equal measure. The lineage splinters here: Talking Heads’ nervous art-funk energy brushes up against Blondie’s streetwise cool, filtered through Sonic Youth’s tolerance for abrasion. Something dies, something grows teeth. The body reacts before the mind catches up.
Sock Song retreats into domestic detail: couches, coffee tables, socks worn to bed. The chant returns, sing-song and unsettled, again touching on Delta 5’s rhythmic insistence. Ominous guitar hums beneath affirmations repeated until they start to feel necessary. Crickets mark time passing as wisdom arrives sideways.
Be Your Own Detective closes Number 2990 Part 1 by refusing closure. It opens with the false cheer of an advertisement before dropping into a no wave scrape that evokes Lydia Lunch’s confrontational minimalism and Bikini Kill’s blunt urgency. Games, toys, rules, cheating – all the language of play repurposed to interrogate trust and care. The mystery remains unresolved by design.

Number 2990 Part 2 looms in 2026, its form undecided, its method unknown. That uncertainty feels essential. Pocket of Lollipops just want to keep rolling those dice again and again.
