Debonair - Is This For Real

Atlas - Sophomore Sessions (SMBL028)
Release Date: January 28, 2014

"Atlas returns to Symbols to follow up their stunning 2012 debut Cities EP. Sophomore Sessions boasts a very deep and warm vibe from beginning to end. The time signature and beat switch up on Ashycan will definitely have you thinking. Monday Beats is a broken up garage session with tons of atmosphere and a catchy bassline. We hear vocalist Emily Harris really shine through on California amidst lots of bleeps, guitars and relaxed percussion. Glow wraps up the EP with a sauntering and slow four to the floor vibe. This is a perfect EP for those early mornings, pre parties, after parties, or just walking around town on the iPod."

‘Shapes On Shapes’ is the much anticipated debut album from LA based duo Wild & Free. Released this November on Portugal’s Discotexas, ‘Shapes On Shapes’ sees Drew Kramer and George Cochrane deliver on the promise of their early releases with 11 tracks of languorous poolside disco, tropical pop and Balearic house.
 
Both multi-instrumentalists, singers and producers in their own right, the pair came together in 2015 and have spent the past 2 years crafting a series of acclaimed EPs and remixes (for the likes of Panama, Gigamesh, Joe Goddard and Ben Browning of Cut/Copy) that saw them tipped by the likes of Spin, XLR8R, Indie Shuffle and many more and take their live show on the road playing alongside the likes of Brooklyn’s Body Language.

From the album’s opener, and title track, an intoxicating haze of ambient synths, dreamlike vocal samples and reverb drenched guitar licks, its clear Drew and George have stretched themselves to fully embrace the possibilities of the album format. It's also obvious that the band have named themselves well, as throughout the record there’s a looseness and sense of spontaneity that few studio based acts can pull off. 

Whether it’s the sun kissed pop of ‘River of Nilé’ and ‘Moment’, the exotic heady disco of ‘Tropique’ and ‘Ferns and Stuff’ or the dub inflected ‘Hiding Behind the Sun’, ‘Shapes On Shapes’ is one of the most joyous, life affirming albums you’ll hear this year.

Heralding a new phase in his artistic life, Glaswegian producer Vince Watson introduces his new alias ‘Quart’ with the cinematic masterpiece ’Life Is Beautiful’.
Vince has laid a trail of musical breadcrumbs leading to the ‘Quart’ sound throughout his 20 year musical career; sublime, peaceful and melodic moments which shone out, even amongst his impressive dance music productions. Tracks like ‘Solitude’, ‘Never Too Late’, ’Every Soul Needs A Guide’ and his ‘Serene LP’ all hinted at an ethereal alter-ego behind Watson, but ‘Life Is Beautiful’ sees Quart emerge from the shadows to stand alone for the first time.
Quart takes its name from ‘The Watson Quartet’, which as Vince explains “was me playing everything anyway, so it’s now simply been reduced to Quart”. This explanation perfectly reflects the project’s musical aesthetic; Vince has clearly been through a creative process of reduction and distillation to reach the uncluttered calm of ‘Life Is Beautiful’.
“The influences for Quart are coming from classical, jazz and broken beat; I’ve naturally just evolved some of the music I was making as Vince Watson into something a little bit purer. This is something i’ve been wanting to do for a long time.”
At times displaying shades of Ludovico Einaudi, at others showing flashes of 4Hero, Vince’s free-flowing piano playing and natural ear for melody stand out throughout ‘Life Is Beautiful’, while fans of his house and techno output will be pleased to find Vince Watson’s unique sonic fingerprints all over the album.

Inspired by the birth of his daughter Winni in 2016, Vince describes the album as “a celebration of life, my most accomplished album technically to date and a beautiful way for Winni to reflect on her Dad’s achievements one day.”
