Fractal Ancestry

Static Daydream is the new project of Paul Baker (founding member of Skywave and Ceremony), and their first full-length release is comprised of 11 noisy pop songs swathed in reverb and distortion.

In 2012, Paul, and his girlfriend and musical partner, Jamie Casey, began recording what would become their debut EP, "The Only One," released on Moon Sounds Records in 2014 to much adoration.  Here's a review from Clank For Breakfast:

"Once you enter the door to the four melody-kisses-noise songs on this EP, you’re hooked and feel home in less than a sec. Whether it’s the dynamically circulating opener “The Only One” with its delightfully seductive, crisp chorus, the groovy “I Want To Break Your Heart” with its bittersweet charm and The Cure reminding guitar colors, the gently swirling dreampop cloud “Disbelief” featuring the fairylike, beautiful vocals by Jamie Casey and additional programming by Jake Reid (Screen Vinyl Image), or the closing noisepop candy “Inside” with its sparkling energy and sweet'n'yearning scent - this trip showcases skilful songwriting and offers embracing harmonies as well as crunchy edges, pulse-quickening, fiery moments as well as relaxed flirts".

Their self-titled album on Saint Marie Records with Moon Sounds Records, released in 2015, is full of melancholic, romantic, distortion-fueled songs, dripping with reverb and classic songwriting.  Inspired by 60's girl groups, 80's and 90's British noise-pop, and assisted by Jake Reid of Screen Vinyl Image and Ice Station Mastering, Static Daydream's debut is full of dreamy, hook-laden songs reminiscent of Skywave, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Slowdive.

ERAAS - At Heart (The KVB Remix)

While on a recent tour of the Western United States, London-based The KVB moved heaven and earth to make this wonderfully meditative 3-part episode possible. Working with award-winning documentary filmmaker Alix Lambert (The Mark of Cain), cinematographer Conor Simpson, engineer Griffin Rodriguez and editor Forrest Borie, the episode employs a simple set of colored gels, soft shadows, playful synth melodies, one cranky drum machine, one enormously loud Jazzmaster, and two unflinching performers. Welcome to the bracingly Zen-like inner-world of The KVB.  

BIO
The KVB is the prolific A/V outlet of artists Nicholas Wood and Kat Day. Combining goth-tinged, abstract imagery with a love of shoegaze guitars, minimal synths, reverb-drenched vocals and rigid beats, Nicholas initially started The KVB as a solo project. After frequent collaborations throughout 2011, Kat Day joined permanently on synths and visuals. Fast on the heels of several EPs and limited-edition cassettes, 2012 saw the release of the band's acclaimed first LP, Always Then, soon followed by tours of the UK, EU, and Western US. In early 2013, The KVB released Immaterial Visions via NYC's Cititrax imprint. If your musical tastes veer toward hypnotic minimal wave and snarling post-punk, The KVB will definitely satisfy your darkest Psychocandy-esque cravings.

“The trio have burned a lot of the haze off their sound (and some of the
ear-bleeding volume), in favor of more melody and danceability, albeit in a
gothy '80s kind of way.” - Brooklyn Vegan

“Weekend kiss the curb with their new single, “Mirror”. It’s a promising
jig for Jinx.” - Consequence of Sound

“Note those bells and whistles, folks...not to say the deeper into Jinx we
travel the noise won't greet us with a screeching wail we've come to
expect, keeping those plugs at arm's length, but Weekend is not hiding in
the feedback.” - Impose Magazine


"All the subtlety of a high-pressure firehose...a dour, post-punk
atmosphere that goes for immersion rather than force." - Pitchfork

“Ominous razor-sharp textures enrapture, "Mirror" foretells the future of
Weekend, where gloom and pandemonium is a joyous return.” - Prefix

“It's steamy post-punk with a circular bass attack leading the way over
galloping drums...[Weekend’s] trademark guitar-pile assault.” - Rcrd Lbl

“Craftsmanlike post-punk” - Stereogum

Weekend - It's Alright

London, England. Ben Ayres & Tjinder Singh's own label. Come & join us for an independent take on music, music, music. Home of The Sufis, Cornershop, Sudden Death of Stars, Gloria, Matsuki Ayumu & The Smoking Trees, & The Masaki Hanakata and more. 

"Ample Play, masters at unearthing the world’s weird sounds” NME Magazine 

"Ample Play is truly a label of love, bringing you new rock in the great explorer's tradition of Elektra, Island and Apple." David Fricke, Rolling Stone, USA


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'.
