Coward.. Till when? Show me how Show me life Lead the blind Make me whole Spellbind Won't run Solitude Left me worn Too hard - growing thorn Tell me why I was At your home tonight Love is war Tell me why Feed upon me - tell me why (I don't know) All I'm asking - tell me why On the hook Catch me now I'm laying low Feeling The bitter sea Wallow in Captivate You lure them all Unsubdued Till now.. You kill them all Checkmate You're running me Hold me thrall Show me how To disentangle Love is war Had enough now Show me how - tell me how Bidding farewell - letting go now Love is war Had enough now Show me how - tell me how

about

Keep Shelly in Athens, the Greek dream pop/indie duo, is thrilled to announce their upcoming single, "Checkmate," featuring the ethereal vocals of Vana Rose, the lead singer of the Athenian shoegaze band 'Sugar For The Pill'.
Vana's haunting vocals soar over the shiny production, creating a lush soundscape that is at once melancholy and uplifting. With "Checkmate," Keep Shelly in Athens continues to push the boundaries of their sound, blending elements of dream pop, shoegaze and electronica into a genre-bending tapestry of sound.
As The Guardian wrote about Keep Shelly in Athens, "They are one of those bands that make you happy to feel sad," and 'Checkmate' is no exception.

“They’ll make you happy to feel sad.”
The Guardian

"They split the difference between the warmth of Chillwave and the sound of dreamy luminaries like Saint Etienne and Cocteau Twins."
Pitchfork

"A shimmering, sexy-smooth, Balearic pop dream, perfect for soundtracking
all the lingering yearning and regret of your next late-night comedown."
Gorilla Vs Bear ... more
