Nadine Shah announces new Single Fool and Album Fast Food

Having earned an early reputation for that uniquely rich, soulful voice; Nadine Shah released her debut album Love Your Dum and Mad to critical acclaim in 2013. A stint on the road with Depeche Mode followed whilst opening for Bat for Lashes and playing live at Vivienne Westwood's Red Label London Fashion Week show provided notable highlights on an extensive tour. Created with trusted collaborator and producer Ben Hillier, the excellent follow-up Fast Food is out on 6 April via Apollo / R&S Records.

Born from a fervent two-month writing session, Fast Food exists on a knife-edge – every bit as dramatic as we’ve come to expect from Nadine but with a sharpened eye for all things hook laden; retaining a brooding grandeur in its musical movements. 

Building on the bruised honesty and charm of its predecessor, Fast Food rings with the confidence of an artist completing their most coherent musical chapter to date. “The last album took so long to make that by the time it came out it didn’t feel like it was a very clear representation of where I was musically, but this time it’s different,” Nadine explains. Fast Food is a more concentrated effort: it is the sound of Nadine Shah as she is now, stepping out from behind the piano and growing with immeasurable confidence.

Nadine admits that Fast Food is a reflection upon short lived, intense, complicated relationships. "I suppose it's a coming of age album of sorts lyrically. Rejecting the romanticised idea of 'perfect' love and maturing in respects to relationships and accepting partners pasts".

With love comes heartbreak: “But it isn’t begging for your sympathy, it doesn’t wallow in self-pity” adds Nadine. “It’s unapologetic and, I hope, empowering.”

Speaking of the scarcity of keys on the new album Nadine says: “I felt quite restricted just sat behind the piano all the time on stage, so touring really catered for the way this record sounds. Everything started on guitar whereas last time Ben re-wrote piano parts for the guitar.” All the more addictive for their rarity, the piano provides light relief to Nadine’s all-important, enigmatic vocals. Yearning and tender yet billowing and aggressive; they weave a tale full of anxiety, vulnerability and nightmares. 

Setting the pace with this beguiling and exhilarating listen, Fast Food cements Nadine Shah as one of the UK’s most exciting and enthralling talents. Whether it’s the brutal honesty of the love stories, the brooding, crystalline guitars or even the rich, soulful vibrancy of her voice, Fast Food is an immediate, lavish and wholly vital album for 2015. 

‘Fool’ is the album at its most bitter, but like everything Nadine touches there is a wry humour and sweetness beneath the poised menace of its guitars and spitting lyrics. “When I mention damn Nick Cave and Kerouac, I’m pointing out someone’s predictable nature, but Kerouac is my favourite author and Nick Cave is my favourite musician” she explains, tongue firmly in cheek.

Brothers (MUSIC VIDEO IN DESCRIPTION)

From the debut album 'A Dream Outside'
Pre-order on www.gengahr.com

Hype Machine - http://goo.gl/8LlhYW

Slated for a June 15th release through Transgressive Records, North London’s Gengahr are pleased to announce their debut album A Dream Outside with new single ‘Heroine’ - their most immediate track to date and another glimpse at what their debut is set to offer.

Picking up where 2014 left off Gengahr marked out their intentions for 2015 with an opening slot on Alt-J’s European tour and the release of the gloriously spellbinding ‘She’s A Witch’, which received acclaim from the likes of The Sunday Times, Independent, DIY and NME whilst being added to playlists on 6Music (C-list), Radio 1 (INMWT), Amazing Radio (A-list) and XFM (evening list).

Now on the dawn of their debut album - recorded and co-produced with James Bragg at Middle Farm Studios - the band are set to follow ‘She’s A Witch’ with new single ‘Heroine’; saccharine pop hooks that knit together the band’s woozier tendencies, marking the track out as one of the tauter moments on A Dream Outside. Led by its bounding bassline, it’s an earworm from the off, and as it descends into the murkier depths of guitarist John Victor’s solo thrashing things take a turn for the gigantic.

Heroine

‘Woebegone Wanderers II’ is an unreleased Wild Beasts track recorded around the release of Present Tense, it is a continuation of ‘Woebegone Wanderers’ from the band’s debut album ‘Limbo, Panto’.

Woebegone Wanderers II

Wild Beasts - Woebegone Wanderers II

Artist: Bonnie Stillwatter
Title: The Devil Is People (The Cheech Wizard's Hemiolic Chantey At The Edge Of The Anthropocene Epoch)
Album: The Devil Is People
Release Date: April 28, 2015

Bonnie Stillwatter is a conceptual collaboration of artistry and friendship between Will Oldham (aka Bonnie 'Prince' Billy), experimental rock group Watter (featuring a member of Grails), and Stillwater Artisanal, a nomadic brewer that mixes equal parts art and alcohol. This collaboration is an inspired one, the roots of which are a mutual respect and love, and the fruits of which are two side-long trips into dark cinematic folk-rock determined to find the light at the end of the tunnel. "The Devil Is People" begins not unlike the east-meets-west melancholy of Watter and Grails. Oldham's penchant for weaving singer with song is particularly resonant here; his first- person storytelling has an uncanny way of sounding communal – almost hymnal – when wrapped in ever-unfolding layers of warm sound. On the b-side, mercurial multi-instrumentalist/producer Bundy K. Brown (Tortoise, Gastr del Sol) explodes "The Devil Is People", rearranging and reinterpreting its multitude of instruments and voices into something more sinister – less a remix, more like a vital new limb growing from the belly of the beast.

Pre-order on iTunes

Sharon Van Etten - "Just Like Blood"

7" hand cut record, limited to 25. Available from our site from 1pm, 8.05.15: http://artishardrecords.limitedrun.com/products/551115-dignan-porch-out-of-the-picture-hcrc4

Although this morning’s news may be weighing heavy, at least it’s Friday right? We’ll soon be drowning our sorrows (maybe at the last two dates of the Family Portrait tour) and we’ve even got a brand new Hand Cut Record Club single to present to you.

With previous releases on Captured Tracks, Faux Discx and Marshall Teller, we’re delighted to welcome Dignan Porch to our doorstep with their fantastic new single ‘Out of the Picture’. The track storms out of the traps with building drums and a delightfully melodic keyboard line which drifts in and out throughout. The track is a much more pop, affair compared to some of the cuts on their excellent recent album. In fact It almost brings to mind a lo-fi New Order as girl/boy vocals harmonise the refrain “If you wait too long to tell her, you’ll be left out of the picture”.

As with previous Hand Cut singles, Out of the Piture will be released on lathe cut 7″ and limited to 25 copies. The 25 copies will be available from our shop at 1pm today! As always it’s worth pointing out that because these records are handcut, they will sound slightly lofi! 

Dignan Porch - Out Of The Picture

A words and images collective, sometimes broadcasting authentic noise, and 100% better than your local butcher

Based out of NE Texas.
