Johnny’s on the Water was learned from the singing of Appalachian folk singer Jean Ritchie (1922 - 2015). It twists the archetypal story of a woman left behind by a sailor, the singer rejecting grief and finding empowerment: ‘if he can live without me, I can live without him’. This line became the heart of our arrangement. 

We created this arrangement in residence at Snape Maltings in 2022. In slowing down the tempo, destabilising the rhythm, and replacing Ritchie’s sparse dulcimer accompaniment with an ensemble of modular synths, guitars and affected strings, we explore the way that the open sea warps our understanding of time and distance. The trumpet solo was played by Lissie Daly, a tireless campaigner for women in brass.

Eclipse

Taken from the forthcoming new album from India Electric Co. 
Released 5th April 2024.
Cole Stacey & Joseph O'Keefe.
After four years in the making India Electric Company present their third album Pomegranate.
From the grips of an underworld without concerts and shared experience comes to the surface an album built in the heart of the West Country describing a life very much in motion whilst in the grips of standing still.
It weaves through their musical heritage combining their traditional folk roots, their dalliance with electronic analogue synths along with rhythms cultivated in lands further afield and an unadulterated love of pop.

COW SONG

I know you’re disappointed 

When you don’t get what you wanted 

And I find it kinda funny 

To see you cry 

 

Now I don’t have no heroes 

To me you all are zeros 

And the only way I can hide it’s 

With alcohol

When I’m numb 

I don’t really care if you’re dumb 

I don’t really mind if you’re scum  

When I’m numb

Numb

With angular melodies and cascading drums, ‘We Woke The Monster’ is a loud condemnation of every terrible relationship you've ever had. The latest single from Bristol based Shoun Shoun loads up their genre defying playstyle to deal with the effects of gaslighting and emotional abuse. It talks about narcissistic people that have an inflated sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy and use charm and deceit to manipulate the people around them. Affected people begin to question their own sanity and reality.
‘We Woke The Monster’ is about waking up to this reality and walking away.

‘We Woke The Monster’ is due for release April 21st 2024 and will be available on all major streaming platforms.
