I'm waiting for you to fall in love I'm waiting for you to fall in love But you're doing it all wrong You're doing it all wrong I know that you must have a lot to say I know that you're just quiet about it You're doing it all wrong You’re doing it all wrong I'm sure that this is simply how you are And I'm sure it isn't just how you are with me I think you're doing it all wrong You're doing it all wrong I'm waiting for you to fall in love I'm waiting for you to fall in love But I'm doing it all wrong I'm doing it all wrong Doing it all wrong

Isn't it a pity Isn't it a shame How we break each other's hearts And cause each other pain How we take each other's love Without thinking anymore Forgetting to give back Isn't it a pity? Some things take so long But how do I explain That not too many people Can see we're all the same And because of all their tears Their eyes can't hope to see The beauty that surrounds them Isn't it a pity?

about

Doing It All Wrong is Misha Chylkova's second release on Gare Du Nord Records.

As well as a digital download, the release comes in the form of a limited (total of 40 editions), numbered, mono lathe-cut 7" black and clear vinyl with pic and lyric inserts, with all artwork designed by Misha.
The vinyls were made in real time on a vintage lathe at Birds Hit Records in Salford, while the artwork was printed on a recycled paper in a friendly, yet radical Footprinters Workers Coop in Leeds.

The single features two contrasting tracks. Doing It All Wrong has a big sound to it while Isn't It a Pity is a lo-fi home recording made in a flat in Milan.

"Sometimes in songwriting, the genius lies in the simplicity. "Doing It All Wrong" is a masterpiece of conciseness, directness and brutal vulnerability. Lyrics such as "I'm sure that this is simply how you are. I'm sure it isn't just how you are with me..." are both utterly precise and completely universal. The song is a staggering exercise in taking a specific personal heartbreak and laying it out in a way that absolutely anyone can relate to.
"Isn't it a Pity" was written by George Harrison during the Revolver sessions and was rejected by the Beatles before it became a solo hit for Harrison and was covered by Nina Simone. This version - more concise than Simone's eleven minute epic - strips the song back to its bare essence of sparse guitars and multilayered vocals. The result is sorrowful, haunting and spellbinding." Paul Hawkins, The Awkward Silences, February 2022.

Misha refined her art in London's underground music scene working amongst artists like The Awkward Silences, David Cronenberg's Wife and Extradition Order.

On the A side of this single Misha's guitar and vocals are backed by Darren Hayman (Hefner) on bass and guitar, Ian Button (Death in Vegas, Thrashing Doves, Papernut Cambridge) on drums and Jon Clayton (Hurtling) on Philicorda.

The single was produced by Jon Clayton at One Cat Recording Studios.

Misha's influences include Low, Suicide and Marianne Faithful.

Recorded at One Cat Recording Studios by Jon Clayton (A) and by Misha Chylkova in a flat somewhere in Navigli, Milan (B).

Released 14th February 2022 on Gare Du Nord Records
