2006 will be a good year if we keep getting MP3s from Australia’s Modular Records. Home to a wide range of goodness — from the epic rock trip that is Wolfmother to the Avalanches’ turntable bricolage — Modular is set on opening the world’s ears to Sydney duo The Presets, whose dark, moody (and sometimes sleazy) electro funk gets remixed here by labelmates Cut Copy. Sounds like they dialed up the “Underworld” setting, if there is such a thing. Now, if we could just get Modular to offer up a Cut Copy original, that’d be one more band I could cross off my 2005 wish list.
Sharing the sharing.
is this gay club music? I looked up the website and it seemed pretty gay not sure can listen to dirty gay lyrics if thats what it is. Let me know
The Presets are great… thanks for the track link 🙂
It's great to see The Presets represented here! I saw them in Sydney… CRAZY. ; )
The Presets are wicked. Saw them in Australia a couple of years ago (with Cut Copy as it happens) and I haven't seen anything better yet. I can't believe they're still not massive – need to get themselves over to the UK though!
hey ive been trying to find the lyrics for " Girl in the sea" by the presets..think you can help me out?-thanks
Hello Kai,
Lyrics for Girl and the Sea – the only Presets lyrics I know of:
the girl and the sea.
tonight the
tonight the hills are watching her
as she runs towards the sea
yeah she runs so she be free
and of all the friends and enemies shes made along the way
they are no where in her thoughts
as she dives beneath the waves
_he's the one that you've seen sometimes on tv
and his shirt is on the ground
while he's tackled by police
and the parcell that he throws across the bridge into the creek
it'll flow towards the sea
it will meet with her tommorow
no place, some time
we'll clear our eyes
and when you're down
i'll come around
And all the
places that shes been along the way
flames are licken at their walls
night glows with their remains
from
far away the animals come gather round to see
but she knows not how they feel
and she knows not what it means
_ when she was young we'd ask her what she'd like to be
and she'd close her eyes and dream……
……now we're no where in her thoughts
as she dives beneath the waves.
a place I've found
could be all ours
but I've seen where you
would rather be.
Hi eric,
Definately gay. I don't think you wanna be listening to that stuff.
hey i cant find the lyrics to 'are you the one' anywhere and im in love with it !! could some one throw them my way if theyre about? ta!
"The Girl and the Sea" is an awesome track, listen 2 it before u call it gay….
Girl And The Sea is amazing and totally *not* gay. Why does everyone think it's gay?
I don't know if it is gay or not. But if it is, then Kelly Slater, the surf dude, is gay too. Since this song is played in the Quicksilver Surfing video Young Guns II… just a thought
if you think its gay than y did u visit the site do u have some gay fetish
omg i love this band , i dod'nt think u shoudl NOT LISTEN to the music if u like it and its gay who cares music is music ur choice it does'nt mean ur gay
this song is so awesome. it makes me want to dance, and it makes me want to blast it on the bus on the way to school to CALM everybody down!! haha
Hi folks,
I'm a surfer from Canary Islands, and i've heard this music 1st time at Quicksilver video , watching Kelly Slater ( every surfer knows who is him), and i was impressed listening this relaxing music, i use to hear it to concentrate before ride real big waves. Good music is for people with feelings. Thank you for the lyrics, as i am spanish was being hard for me to understand it all. Xao amigos.
yeah its not freaking gay and if u think its gay then ur freaking idiot
far from gay.
if the people who think its gay, listen to metal, i have no comment.
the presets are individually electro and they are AWEEEESOOMMMMME!!!!
i agree though. need lyrics for are you the one.
Typical critising commercial radio listening sea hunts – only your small minds could describe The Presets' music as gay. The Presets are one of the most inventive elctronic acts in a long time. The original version of Girl and the Sea is a brilliant piece of music. Don't like the Cut Copy remix, though.
the song girl & the sea is the GREATEST song ever, even though this electronic music isnt my taste but the presets are definately NOT GAY…
does anyone know where i can listen to some of their other songs?
Hmm so the presets are gay huh?..eric i actually might have to kill you tonight.
Obviously you have no music taste whatsoever. Anyway, even if the Presets were gay(which they are not), who gives a shit, being gay isnt a disease, its not something u can catch and theres nothing wrong with gay people anyway.You you should be shot for being the shitest bloke ever, you are a disgrace to the human race.
The presets are awesome, some of the best electro i have ever heard
so what if the presets are gay? it doesn't make you gay if you both listen to and enjoy their music.
i saw them live at the big day out on the gold coast earlier this year and they were f*cking awesome.
nathan 🙂
Personally, I'm having a tougher time trying to figure out what the heck is being sung in Beat on Beat off. Kim's (?) Austrailian accent is great but it's really tough to understand. Anyone have the lyrics?
P.S. NOT gay.
dare say this band and cut copy on the remix know alot more about music than the people calling it GAY. the cut copy mix is an electro track that you will hear alot at the moment by remixers like cut copy remixing. imogen heap etc.
this track is going to be MASSIVE if the likes of tiga are playing it already..watch this space. the band will also be big in the UK mark my word
does anyone know the lyrics to down down down coz i cant find them anywhere n i luv that song
thnx xox
Ha ha ! i laughed alot @ comment about presets being gay.
narrowminded homophobic creeps, you most definately should be shot
good comment from Sarah ! absolutely agree
the presets are amazingly wow. favourite band of all time. need lyrics!!!
The presets=great electro music….
not gay, and the video of girl and the sea is sooo melancholic.
The presets rocks!
anyone know are you the one lyrics… or possibly down down down?
its actually incredibly homosexual. listen to the words in down down down…
"i swallow it down for you…"
wow, this song was on The OC last week, and it is great!! thanks for the lyrics… such a great song!!
ok here is (from listening to the song many, many times.. stopping it and going over parts, then taking my iPod and boosting the vocals.) the lyrics for "down down down" if its wrong please dont get all mad because its hard to figure out on the digitally remixed version which is that only one i have…:
(the Presets :down down down)
…oh-kay…

i follow around, i follow around, for her.
yeah im coming right down, im coming right down,down down down. let me at it cuz…

The Presets – Down Down Down
Okay

I'm coming around for her.
I follow a-round
I follow around for her.
Yeah I'm coming right down
I'm coming right down down down down.
Let me at it cuz.
I'll swallow it down
I'll swallow it down for her.
And I'll swear it a-round
I'll swear it around for her.
Yeah I'll swallow it down
I'll turn the lights/sterolise (??)
down down down down.
Forget about it cuz.
Shes not okay
Turn out the lights
I feel so good
Dim(?) out tonight
It takes two
The other side
Come on savor
Go on and hide
I'm feeling a-round
I'm feeling around for her.
And I'm wandering 'round
I'm stubling around, the dark.
But I'll follow it down
I'll follow it down down down down.
Forget about it cuz.
Set it up
Well pull it down
No body here
Were all alone
Silent Night
Turn out the lights
Well now or never
Ready for love
The time is now
Nobody 'round
I feel somethin
Turn out tonight
I'll take you to
The other side
Come on savour
I wanna go down down
Wanna go down down
Wanna go
I'll tear it up
I'll pull it down
Come on savour
Were not alone
Dead light(??)
Turn out the lights
Now or never
Ready for love
The time is now
No one to ask(????)
I feel someone
Ready tonight
I'll take you to
The other side
Can't stop this fever
I wanna go down down
Wanna go down down
Wanna go!
I have been looking for the Presets lyrics for a long time!!! They are the best electronic band out there!
i think they are gay, cause on their itunes bio it says they started out playing in gay bars and stuff… but mabe only one of the members is. but still, who cares? there a awesome band, im obsesed with "girl and the sea" and "are you the one?", "down down down" makes me wanna dance, lol, nice attempt on the lyrical decyfering, it sounds about right, i cant tell at the end of some words cause of the electronic change.
rock on presets, come down to ze central coast some time, i'll be 18 soon and will be able to party down to your rocking beats!
who cares if they are gay whats rong with being gay anyway?
am a chick and fucking love the presets am so happy my guy introduced them to me
I AM IN LOVE WITH THE PRESETS AT THE MOMENT!! they are the best.. although some of there songs sound a bit scary, but i saw them live in mona vale and they were awesome, such a fun night
Uh… gay isn't "nasty" or "dirty." Grow up.
Don't know if I'm a fan of the Presets yet, but I am a fan of "Girl and the Sea," both the song and the video. iTunes offered song for free and then I later paid the $2 for the video. Well worth it! Very relaxing and moving. Feel like I am drifting out to sea with the girl as I listen to it. Enjoy!
( OK presets fans, these lyrics are so hard to find. I sat and listen to the song 5x, and I got these lyrics. They might not be correct so correct the if you will ok!)
Are You The One?
I don't know why
I've got it so bad
But somehow I got
Out of a Fry'n pan
I'm in a new file
Where at it sooner
Buried with souls
I'm back in my head so
I'm ready to go
SLippin and slidin
I'm out of control.
Tryin to hide my head in a hole.
There's somthin about you I've gotta know.
Before we go to far,
I wanna know…
I wanna Know…
I wanna know…
What I wanna know is
Are…Are you the One…
Are you the ONe…
Are you the One..
Are You The…
Me and my girl, hav'in the time o' time of the world
But I've got a secret
No one can know.
If you wanna find out,
Come to the show.
We've got the music,
You got to go!
Temperatures hot babe,
It's ready to blow.
Until she finds out,
all she knows.
Something's said out loud.
in on the wall.
B4 she goes to far, I wanna know…I wanna know… I wanna know…What I wanna know is.
Are… Are you the One… Are you the one… Are you the One… Are you the…
Creepin around,
cryin darkness,
Place to be found,
Leave me behind the
noise of the crouds.
Its been a while since you've come around,
So lets make it worth the-
lights to the sounds
Pills to the spills
drink to the shouts!
Still tryin to find out what its all about.
It's just one more thing I've gotta find out.
Before we go to far…
What I wanna know.What I wanna know. What I wanna know… What I wanna know is.
Are… Are you the One… Are you the One… Are you the One.. Are you the one.. Are you the One.. Are you the One… Are you the One… Are you the One.
Thank you, and e-mail me if I'm wrong. OK! PS: Don't watch this video if your on ecstacy.
oi theyre not gay.
they were featured in an article in voguegirl last year, and they have girlfriends.
get your fucking facts right dereks
I just discovered them and I can't get enough. What does their sexual orientation have to do with anything? I agree grow up!
To Jenny,Ty,mez,and definitly to Lady. SOme people don't like Homosexual people. It's not right to make fun of people who are raised to be Homophobes.So I think you all need to grow up for a change.Anyways, the presets are fucking tight gay or not anyway so. Rock on Presets!
i love are you the one? and down down down!!! the presets r farkin' awesome!! i heard em on my friends' myspaces n they rock!!! so yeah…thank u to the people who posted lyrics for DDD and AYTO
luv, maddie oxoxoxox
THE PRESETS ARE THE BEST
saw them at the Corner in Melbourne.
Rocked my socks off. Best ever
If thy're 'gay' I want to be 'gay' with them!
ok Are you the One is like the coolest song and music video is soooo fun 2 watch 🙂 its far from gay and i dont know why anyone would think it was gay. I LOVE THE PRESETS :]
Hey! There…
Surfing down the web I found this cool site called 'Modular People'… it was here where I discovered 'The presets'… downloaded some samples and and LOVED THEM! I can say that Girl and Sea is a song that makes me want to jump out of my skin when I listen to it… I don't think many people know this band here in CHile (South America for those who don't know where it is) and it's become one of my favorites. 🙂
PD: I'm gay and I don't think this music is gay… hehe.. but what difference would it make? Anyways, let's not waste more words replying to that STUPIDO commment! 🙂
