about
"...it's thrilling to know there are still undiscovered talents like Ng out there, tapping that zeitgeist of wooziness in their own refreshing ways. The fact that "Jonah" uses nature samples, exotica percussion, heavily reverbed guitars, streaky synths, and Panda Bear-style harmonies shouldn't come as much of a shock. That the arrangement is so accomplished, though-- the song so melodic and well-constructed-- makes Fiveng one of those rare pleasant surprises." (8/10 - Pitchfork)

"...a floating, birdsong-backed day dream" (Transparent)

"one of my favourite new artists... a glistening pop jam" (Life: Aquatic)

Fiveng's debut single is out now on the new Beachtapes label.

Track Name: Give me a taste
////////////// give me a taste (lyrics) /////////////////

i can't seem to go out
when my mind's in such a mess
lately things don't work out
i'm always second best
just because oh just because
i'll make it right, i'll make it right

give me a taste that will linger
a touch that will last my whole life
my heart to the tips of my fingers
tell me these words ain't only mine

my eyes start to scream out
when each day drags like a chore
i just want to break out
because with each taste i'm wanting more
just because oh just because
i'll make it right i'll make it right

i'll follow every thread that leads to something better than nothing
i'll look through every corner that will lead me closer to what i hope for
and somehow through all this time
i'll hope to find a peace of mind
that will do me right

flavors pass and play out
these feelings fade by fast
i can see the way now
but my mind won't let me rest
just because oh just because
i'll make it right i'll make it right

give me a taste that will linger
a touch that will last my whole life
my heart to the tips of my fingers
tell me these words ain't only mine

///////////// Jonah (Lyrics) ///////////////

jonah was a boy who didn't give a damn
all he ever wanted was the world in his hands
but you know what they say the whale swallowed him anyway

jonah was a boy who didn't care
all he ever wanted was some gel in his hair
but you know what they say they didn't give a damn anyway

everything you needed is in your hands
so tell me how you're gonna try and be a man
you hear what they say, it doesn't matter anyway

so even if your movement is never there
all you ever needed was just not to care
cuz if you wait they'll never hear you anyway

cuz i don't know exactly what you can show
let me in oh let me in
it's all there so let down your hair
let me in oh let me in

jonah was a boy who didn't give a damn
all he ever wanted was the world in his hands
you know what they say they didn't give a damn anyway

cuz i don't know exactly what you can show
let me in oh let me in
