Video: Part Time Signals - Look Out The Other Window

Cardiff's Part Time Signals return with brand new single 'Look Out The Other Window' which boasts an ever maturing sound and see's the band move into more dynamic and exciting territory.

'Look Out The Other Window' is soulful voyeurism, proximate and is testimony to the band's ability and multi-instrumental arranging.

Look Out The Other Window is the second single from The Window, a forthcoming 5-track EP from Cardiff four-piece Part Time Signals.

This song, out last Friday, is the sequel to Look Out The Window, a song which concludes the band’s debut album Another Day In Paradise (2023), and knowingly alludes to and draws from other songs in the band’s catalogue.

The four-piece are back and will be released their new 5-track EP March 14th via Cardiff's Bubblewrap Collective, having already shared the first single from the EP “The Window”, the band have now unveiled their second track titled “Look Out The Other Window”.

Part Time Signals are a four piece band from Cardiff, Wales. Jacob Church (Sock), Michael Blanchfield (ANGHARAD), Gavin Jenkins (Rainbow Maniac, KEYS, Show Dogs) and Sam Barnes (Boy Azooga, AhGeeBe, Sock). Their full-length debut album ‘Another Day In Paradise‘ was released 20th October 2023 with Bubblewrap Collective both digitally and with a limited run of vinyl copies. 

After recording their first album, BBC Horizons funding made it possible for the band to spend a whole week recording at Giant Wafer Studios in Mid Wales. The band are currently gearing up to release a 5 track EP titled ‘The Window’. The EP will serve as a precursor to the band’s second album which is set to be released later in the year. Making full use of the instruments, recording equipment and time available at the studio, this hefty recording session has seen the band take stock with a plethora of new songs, evolving into amore refined and maturing sound.

The song was self-recorded at Giant Wafer Studios in Mid Wales in February 2024, and features a multitude of layers including hand-played drums, phased guitars and percussion. The recording was mixed & produced by the band’s bassist Sam Barnes.

LISTEN: "Lazy" by Part Time Signals

While the latest single, “Lazy” from Part Time Signals is far from lazy, it’s the perfect soundtrack for those lazy sun filled days as the summer sun eases behind the horizon. From their forthcoming album, Another Day in Paradise, out on Oct 13th on Bubblewrap Collective, vocalist and guitarist, Jacob Church, says this of the song, Lazy is a familiar feeling, it’s a laid back groove you can…

On Ba Mhee and Tae as a couple (as of ep10)

I did not like Ba Mhee and Tae's relationship; it was clear they both cared deeply about each other but didn't know how to show it in a way the other could see and appreciate. Tae had explicitly asked for space and patience during this period of their relationship (three months is not that long!) and Ba Mhee was unable to give it. She was disruptive at work to the point of Tae breaking the external drive and getting in trouble (which was of course worse because he didn't just tell his boss about it). She put in a lot of effort, but it wasn't always asked for or wanted, and Tae was appreciative but not demonstrative in ways Ba Mhee noticed, and she channeled her worries about their relationship into being clingier, until she flipped and instead started channeling it into her interest in Judy. That being said, Tae was always invested in this relationship. He talked about their future together as a couple. He worked so hard to make sure they could have a good anniversary dinner, and he didn't tell Ba Mhee because he didn't think he had to--he hadn't noticed her anxiety and distrust about his own feelings.

When they broke up, Ba Mhee had cheated, but it was Tae who did most of the apologizing. I didn't like that Ba Mhee hadn't seemed to done much self-reflection or owning up of her part in their breakup other than the cheating itself, which she blamed on how Tae had made her feel. She had made assumptions about his attention to her, and ignored the evidence to the contrary (e.g. Tae staying up to go on calls with her or working while sharing a ride to to the office was seen as him not being around enough rather than him taking moments he didn't have to spare to be as with her as he could during a time he'd warned her he'd be busy), and then channeled that loneliness into another person rather than having a conversation. It felt like there was more for her to do, but I didn't understand how we were going to get it if the show was moving on.

But it wasn't moving on! And this is why I'm thrilled with today's episode. Ba Mhee got a taste of what dating her was like; someone who does things for you "for your own good" because you "need" them to without asking. Judy was worse at it than Ba Mhee was, because she was replacing things Ba Mhee liked with things she doesn't--and that has me wondering whether Judy did any of that intentionally, because it's literally Judy's job to notice what people like and don't like and to cater to their needs, so it's strange she would have gotten this so wrong for someone she likes so much. Either she intentionally mirrored Ba Mhee so that Ba Mhee would self-reflect, or Judy sees herself in Ba Mhee so strongly she could not really see Ba Mhee at all, or Judy's the only character in this show without thought-through motivations [I doubt it's the latter and I am really hoping we get insight into her character soon]. And Ba Mhee realized that what she wanted wasn't someone who was a better fit for her than Tae, she wanted Tae. And that's valid; Ba Mhee's speech about nobody being perfect for another person is so correct, and relationships are all about working through those rough edges together. But the feelings don't disappear just because you find an incompatibility.

Tae in the meantime has already demonstrated that he was trying to be on his own without Ba Mhee. He had an alarm on his phone to drink water because he wasn't answering her texts so she wasn't reminding him before they'd even officially broken up. He is struggling because he's heartbroken, not because he can't be independent. He follows Pah around because the editing department has a lull, and he needs to keep occupied. He misses his girlfriend of just shy of four years. And when his friends suggest he fight for her, he makes an attempt at asking her out again.

The reconciliation scene this episode had them both agree to try. They were both better about articulating their needs and feelings in ways the other could hear. That being said, Ba Mhee did say she wanted things to go back to the way things were, and Tae's situation has not changed re: how much time he has to commit to this relationship right now (though the internship is about to end so this caveat is short-lived). I'm not mad about that though, because the show has seeded future growth/reflection in Ba Mhee already--she's interested in her job in a way she has never been previously, and her realization re: how Judy's treatment of her didn't feel good even when it was well-intentioned will (I hope) give a different perspective on her own behaviour and have her change it on this second go-round, in addition to better communication which she's already doing now. And Tae is now more aware of Ba Mhee's feelings and what those gestures for him mean to her, so he can be more careful about being dismissive when she tries to be open about her feelings.

I'm still pretty agnostic about whether or not Tae and Ba Mhee should end up together. But I am really loving the growth arc these two have been on as part of this couple, both while together and apart, and I have confidence in the show that their growth is not over.

i love madoka magica however i dont think we as a fandom talk enough about how tragic madoka herself is. probably because the narrative itself steers you away from thinking about her personally. shes not a character shes a desire that homura has, shes a force of good, shes homura's foil. but those are all madoka's narrative roles but madoka herself as a person is not really looked at because we are viewing this world from an unreliable narrator(homura) who only sees madoka as those things. The best thing homura could have done for madoka was give up on her, to let her go. because every time we go back in time the image of madoka is distorted, she loses more of herself every regression of homura's as she tries harder and harder to save her. We don't even know what madoka originally wished for to become a magical girl in the original timeline. and she actually acts quite differently than the madoka we meet. shes a lot more honest and caring and bold. by the time homura's has reached the actual anime madoka has been reduced by the sands of time to a figment of herself. she has no wants or desires of her own beyond wanting to do good and help her friends and when all her humanity is stripped away is when she finally acends to godhood because thats all thats left of her. an ideal and a faith in her. madoka kaname died a long time ago and all that is left is her ghost.

Honestly, I don't imagine that Spring Bonnie was even awake for the rescue that MXES and Plushtrap even managed to pull off after all of that time.

Went to sleep in whatever location of the other ship that Springtrap placed 'em in, expecting that the day after would be just like all of the ones before it--why wouldn't it be?--only...

The next time Spring Bonnie wakes up, its certainly a more familiar place--along with an even familar face, since MXES has just kind of been... standing there and staring in silence, since Spring Bonnie was brought back.

It's surprising, sure--but it's also pretty delightful.

Every time a book markets itself as clean (not like a reviewer remarking anything but when the book is in its own marketing campaign saying that it is clean) I check and every time it's either Evangelical or Mormon.

sent my dad this article about the rise of audhd that talks about new diagnostic understanding of how they're linked and anecdotes from people with both and what their life is like and he was like. "there's nothing I haven't heard before, I already know that people have feelings" like... okay king. miss the fucking point.
