Vexa | Happy Breaks Selection #1

Four Parisians, who strike with the noisy pop spirit of contemporary U.S. music (from MGMT to Dum Dum Girls), and don't hide their mid-80s to mid-90s English influences, from Mary Chain to Stone Roses.

‘Breeezing!’ is the first single taken from their forthcoming album ‘Howls of Joy’.  Ample Play’s Tjinder Singh remembers, “I was in Paris during a heat wave - a friend took me to a little record shop in a small hilly street just North of Canal St Martin.   He asked the shop owner to play Beat Mark and I realized that I was listening to what England had lost the ability to create anymore, what’s more, it was a whole album of that stuff, an album of songs that immediately moves in with you.” 

Sean Bohrman from LA’s Burger Records ‘Breeezing! is the jam!’ and Josh Walker from Nashville’s legendary record shop Grimey’s: "I love ending the year with something like this to look forward to next year. I really can’t wait to get it in my hands."  Look forward to the hotly tipped album in mid February, but for now walk into the sun with ‘Breeezing!’

Cornershop 'Soul School'

The Sudden Death of Stars. Think The Byrds, Fairport Convention, Velvet Underground, Spacemen 3, made in Brittany.

'I'll Be There' is an upbeat instant psychedelic dream of a track with cello, glockenspiel and vintage organs. It is even more uplifting when you find out it’s about a parent who’s passed away and speaks to their child ‘I’ll Be There’.

Both Tjinder & Benedict are avid record collectors, who met when they both studied at Preston Polytechnic.  Tjinder became the Union Social Executive whilst Ben went to London to work in a vinyl record pressing plant.  As Cornershop took off and developed, so did the amount of Turbans they had to wear, and Ample Play Records is the culmination of all that work and experience, backed by freedom & enjoyment, with 'Music 10 Commandments'.
