Long November It molds your mind And come December It’s a full decline Arms are tender They loosen in time And I surrender If you won’t be mine Venus in nadir I’ll see you later

Taurus 01:28
In my valley Taurus In my valley true Make believe in you

I wonder when you’ll get your big break, Lost boys And lost girls Andrew he works on Pleasant Street for trade ins And studies the souls of passersbys out there His house is a mess of cigarettes and pagans And I am in love with a stranger everywhere Allison leans on the doorway there, she’s beaming She carries a book and a smart New England air I wondered if her poor friend had stopped their breathing The delicate bonds between them go unspoken I wonder when you’ll get your big break, Lost boys And lost girls Watching the brand new band, they walk on shaking Strumming guitars and shouting songs obscene Everyone whispers they will soon be breaking And I am in love with the places in between I wonder when you’ll get your big break, Lost boys, And lost girls

Letters 03:01
Send my letters out to you Send my letters overdue We’ll run and we’ll slide in the blood and collide Like an asteroid as it explodes No one will see but your ego and me Will you help me get out of these clothes? Send my letters out to you Hope my letters make it through I already doubt the Saturday crowd Lives the fantasy lives of our age I’m starting to sink, can you please hold my drink? There’s a fountain of ink on the page Send my letters out to you Send my letters overdue The two to the five, and I’m glad I’m alive And I’ve got to confide I’m alright The ending is nigh, and my phone’s gonna die And I’ve got to confide I’m alright We’ll run and we’ll slide in the blood and collide Like an asteroid ending our age I’m starting to sink, can you please hold my drink? There’s a fountain of ink on the page

I’m standing naked where I dwell Bid thee farewell If there’s a bone left in the sand Or my bare hand Seek and destroy I just don’t know if I can stop Kiss and make up I found a secret in the grass Out on my ass Seek and destroy Oh wake me up before you leave Under your sleeve I’ve learned to need a state of fear Whisper my ear Seek and destroy I just don’t know if I can stop Kiss and make up I found a secret in the grass Out on my ass Seek and destroy

Believer 04:56
She's a believer, and we really need her If she appears, we will receive her We had a vision, live in addition We had a vision, to live in sedition Like a pariah, life is on fire I’d be a liar, if I wasn’t tired She's a believer, and we really need her If she appears, we will receive her She's a believer, and we really need her If she appears, we will receive her

about

One year on from the release of acclaimed album Rose Main Reading Room, Peel Dream Magazine return with new mini album Taurus.

Spanning eight previously unavailable tracks that were originally recorded for their lush and inviting 2024 full length, Taurus offers a wider glimpse into songwriter Joseph Stevens’ process and creative output from those sessions.

The band, whose name nods to the BBC Radio 1 legend John Peel — arbiter of all things underground, quality, and (it must be said) "cool" — has since its inception been a genre-hopping experiment, jumping from motorik krautrock to shoegaze and space age pop.

On Taurus, Peel Dream Magazine remain explorative, drifting effortlessly across a gamut of styles that range from the twee indie pop of lead single “Venus In Nadir,” the title track’s cozy vibraphones, and the bubbly space-synths of “Seek and Destroy.”

Although unbound by genre, Peel Dream Magazine still inhabit the sonic milieu of warm woodland tones and droning repetition. In the entrancing standout “Believer,” they evoke Rose Main Reading Room’s atmosphere through vocalist Olivia Babuka Black’s mantric melodies and Philip Glass-like woodwinds and mallets, bringing Taurus into focus as a welcoming companion piece to its predecessor.
