**Manchester’s CAULBEARERS present ‘Synching (Bubbling Spring Remix)’, an indiepop
celebration of simplicity and wonder**

“Impressive… stellar, believable and inspiring…. vocals and lyrics that are heartfelt,
hopeful and genuine” ~ **Big Takeover Magazine**

“Music worthy of top-dog soundtracks.. Caulbearers struts in with a sonic funkadelic
swagger and groovy bassline that recalls early works by the likes of RHCP and No
Doubt” ~** Spill Magazine**

“Funky and original… All music should be this progressive” ~ **Jammerzine**

“Exploring the spiritual ties that bind us as communities” ~ **God is in the TV**

‘Texturally rich and gorgeously cinematic… It may rest on the creative shoulders
of musical giants, but it has its eyes set firmly on the future” ~ **The Swindonian**

Manchester’s [**Caulbearers**](https://caulbearers.com/)** **presents[** **](https://caulbearers.bandcamp.com/album/twisted-cord-single)**
[‘Synching (Bubbling Spring Remix)’](https://caulbearers.bandcamp.com/album/twisted-cord-single),**
a spacious yet vivacious and sanguine offering that is a celebration of the simplicity
and wonder of silent meditation practice. The accompanying video was filmed by **
Ben Taylor** with editing, post-production and visual effects by [**Latent Variables**](https://www.instagram.com/latentvariables).

The original version, released on the band’s** [‘More Lie Deep’ EP](https://caulbearers.bandcamp.com/album/more-lie-deep-ep)**,
is the B-side of Caulbearers’ new funk-rock single [**‘Twisted Cord’**,](https://caulbearers.bandcamp.com/album/twisted-cord-single)
an infectious high-frequency funk-rock offering with Stone Roses-eque bass and bittersweet,
multi-layered laments. It’s also a vibrant and grounded celebration of this earth
and humanity’s interconnectedness. 

Mixed by [**Seadna Mcphail **](https://www.seadna.org/)**(Badly Drawn Boy, Jah Wobble,
Everything Everything, I Am Kloot, Happy Mondays)** and mastered by [**Jim Spencer**](http://www.jimspenceruk.com/music_producer/)**(
New Order, Johnny Marr, Charlatans, Factory Floor)**, this follows the slower, more
spacious and meditative sound of their 2021 single [**‘Burst Through The Borders’**](https://caulbearers.bandcamp.com/album/burst-through-the-borders-single)
and B-side [**‘Solid Supposed’**](https://caulbearers.bandcamp.com/album/burst-through-the-borders-single).

Fronted by [**Damien Mahoney**](https://caulbearers.com/about-us/), core members
included guitarist **Anton Hunter (Beats and Pieces Big Band, Article XI)**, cellist**
Stefan Skrimshire** and drummer **Phil Bennett**. Somerset-based ethereal folk artist
[**Ruth Blake**](https://www.ruthblake.com/) also contributes vocals in her ongoing
collaboration with the band.

“This song is about how observing our own natural breath and physical sensations
in the body can be so effective to access & transform buried emotions. Often we 
have learnt to ignore our true feelings from a young age and rely on external coping
mechanisms to numb pain or to ‘get out if it’, so we can feel disassociated from
our bodies at times of stress and anxiety. As the psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk
says, ’The Body Keeps The Score!’” says **Damien Mahoney**.

“The song asks ‘what’s gonna be your dummy next?’ In my experience, we often subtly
try to swap one ‘dummy’ or addiction for another, rather than staying present to
really feel what is happening in our bodies.  if we can ‘turn the noise down’ enough
to listen, they are an incredible source of wisdom for us.”
