To be Happy

“Riding on the wave of a successful single release, with support from Too Future, Run The Trap, IndieFeed, and us here at EarMilk, west coast singer-songwriter Chase McBride releases his new full-length album, “Cold Water”. The collection of eight songs, written during a transitional creative period, reveal a fresh, more distilled version of McBride’s previous folk sound.” - EarMilk

The oldest of the three
You said that the first time you spoke to me
You always had to lead
You seem to have everything you need

The days, they move easy
The waves, they don't mean as much to me as I used to believe
The days, they move easy
It occurs, when you are here the waves they wash away from me

To be honest
I could see
It in your eyes
When you kissed me tangerine
If all this
Is a dream
I wouldn't mind us
Drifting to sleep

The days, they move easy
The waves, they don't mean as much to me as I used to believe
The days, they move easy
It occurs, when you are here the waves they wash away from me

Cold Water

Days Move Easy

it's a fixed race, hey, I'll save my breath for the next

I swallow things in the heat of the moment.
I swallow things when I need them the most.
I swallow things I receive from the monsters,
my jaws keep on moving but I feel like a ghost.

I swallow thoughts when I thought of an answer.
I swallow thoughts when I need them the most.
I swallow thoughts when I try to know the better,
but all of my knowledge was lost long ago.

And words, I swallow words when i want to say sorry.
I swallow words when I need them the most.
I swallow words while I could turn things around me.
I swallow words and it burns down my throat.

I swallow things in the heat of the moment.
I swallow thoughts when i need them the most.
And words, I swallow words when i want to say sorry,
but no one will notice, cause my body is closed.

Sean Christopher ‘A Thousand Hues’
The new single out January 19th on Dumont Dumont

“A beautifully composed piece of music, there's a marvellous sense of balance in Sean's songwriting, with those lingering guitar notes underpinning his softly intense vocal” CLASH

Taken from the forthcoming debut album 'Yonder' coming May 11th 

+ LIVE IN LONDON AT THE SOCIAL(FRUKT free event), FEBRUARY 6TH 

‘A Thousand Hues’ is the beautiful new single from Bristol-based singer-songwriter Sean Christopher, released today on Dumont Dumont (Ry X, Charlie Cunningham, Josin). 
A heartbreaking song inspired by real life tragedy, ‘A Thousand Hues’ is the third track to be taken from Sean’s debut album ‘Yonder’ - due for release May 11th – following previous singes ‘Carry On’ and ‘Paper Plane Pilot’, which was chosen by Lauren Laverne for BBC 6Music Recommends. 

“I read a story a few years ago about a Japanese man who lost his wife during the Tsunami back in 2011,” says Sean of the single. “He could not find her on land and decided to take diving lessons to search the sea. I was really moved by it and ‘A Thousand Hues’ was written soon after.”

Sean Christopher has been immersed in music all his life. As a child growing up in the Netherlands he would listen to his father play Flamenco guitar for hours and hours every day, while his mother’s extensive vinyl collection introduced him to legendary artists like The Beatles, Leonard Cohen, and David Bowie. 

An alumni of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and Codarts in Rotterdam, where he studied music production, Sean began creating music for films and commercials shortly after graduating. In 2014 his song ‘Everything’, composed and produced for an international car commercial, began to get him noticed, reaching a million streams on Spotify. 

Back in The Hague, Sean built himself a basement studio and decided to record his first full-length album. Hidden away, accompanied only by his ever-growing collection of instruments and his dog Ollie, he began to work. In the end, it was his father's old Flamenco guitar that took centre stage and drove the recording of what was to become ‘Yonder’. 

After relocating to Bristol last year, Sean signed a record deal with Swedish label Dumont Dumont, home to artists including RY X, Charlie Cunningham and Josin. 

Praise for Sean Christopher:

“Something really warm about his voice... it’s reminding me of Jeff Buckley, it’s beautiful."
Georgie Rogers, Virgin Radio

"His work is rooted in pastoral acoustic climes, while still reaching towards the personal. Recent single 'Paper Plane Pilot' is a beautiful example of his artistry” 
CLASH

“A very listenable and magnetic bit of guitar pop” 
Blahblahblahscience

“An accomplished listen – one that’s alive with tight melodies, intelligent lyricism, emotional content and a really appealing set of vocals" 
**** Indie London

“His vocals pour like honey into the mix and the whole track feels like an elixir for simple happiness“
Indie Shuffle

"Heart-touching lyrics, soothing vocals and a melody to die for. Yeah, Sean Christopher's "Paper Plane Pilot" is quite the find!” 
Stereofox

Sean Christopher - A Thousand Hues

2017 proved a huge year for Pictish Trail which ended in Johnny Lynch announcing he’d signed to Fire Records alongside Jane Weaver, Death And Vanilla, Noveller, Hater and Modern Studies. Seeing in the new year with more rousing news and following a sold-out show at this year’s Celtic Connections, Pictish Trail will be supporting Belle And Sebastian on a number of live dates across Europe later this month with shows in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Italy.

Coinciding with the tour ‘Who’s Coming In’, taken from ‘Future Echoes’, gets remixed by Joe Goddard (Hot Chip, The 2 Bears). Here blissed out celestial tones stretch this gorgeous track into an eight-minute dance floor banger that has a ‘trip-hop subtleness bridged with a Caribou feel’ (Clash).

The critically acclaimed psych-pop record, ‘Future Echoes’, bursts with beautiful melodies, harmonies and lyricism with sublime production from collaborator Adem Illhan and additional production and mixing from Rob Jones (Sweet Baboo, Slow Club). Last year, the Lost Map founder was also shortlisted for the ‘Scottish Album Of The Year Award’, by public vote, with the album earning ★★★★ reviews from MOJO, Uncut, Clash, The Arts Desk and The Scotsman among others. 

“Mysterious cinematic pop melancholia” – The Guardian

“Glazed with fun and pop and excitement” ★★★★ – Clash

“Delights in roving electronica” ★★★★ – Uncut

“A dark pop album, as joyful as it is unexpected” ★★★★ – Mojo

Dita Von Teese - Sparkling Rain

Modern Studies present new album ‘Welcome Strangers’
Released 18th May 2018
CD/LP/DL
Pre-order link: https://modernstudiesfire.bandcamp.com/

“Songs that see the mystical beyond the material” MOJO

‘Welcome Strangers’ is the second record by feral pop outliers Modern Studies. Elegiac and haunted, life-giving and triumphant, this beguiling return digs deep into landscapes both real and imagined, internal and external, in a work that might perhaps best be described as “kosmiche choral” or, if we’re pushing it “arts-und-crafts-werk”. Or, put simply, glorious pop music. 

It is an elemental and often spectral world of contrasting tones and hues that is found within ‘Welcome Strangers’, one whose lyrical vocabulary is of loss, light, air, sun, growth; of spires, seeds and phosphene dreams. Here is the Britain of visionaries such as Kate Bush, Broadcast or PJ Harvey, a nation of dark magic, conﬂict, celebration and confusion, all at the same time. 

Witness the incandescent chamber-pop of ‘Get Back Down’: underpinned by complex jazz rhythms, and string and brass ﬂourishes, it manages to be both understated and epic as it explores a similar sonic terrain to Wild Beasts. Or there’s ‘Horns And Trumpets’, a haunting musical perambulation that burrows deep into Britain, a warm-hued hymn for future generations, and ‘Let Idle Hands’, which abandons restraint halfway through and, in a moment of musical epiphany, runs joyously to the horizon. Meanwhile on ‘Phosphene Dream’ the honeyed harmonies of Emily Scott and Rob St. John wrap themselves around each other like Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood had they holidayed in draughty Glasgow tenements. Or perhaps – as on ‘Disco’ – they come closer to Kylie and Nick Cave. 

“It’s an ever changing thing - an organism,” explains principle songwriter Emily of Modern Studies’ collaborative creative process, “there is space for each of the band to experiment.” Shared band listening habits include Yamasuki, Van Dyke Parks, Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, Matthew E White, Basil Kirchin, and Nanci Griffith. 

Working at Pete’s Pumpkinfield studio in rural Perthshire through 2017, the band used a Creative Scotland grant to hire a chamber orchestra and a remote village hall to record them in. Contributors include sisters, wives, toddlers, freeform saxophonists and The Pumpkinseeds, an ensemble featuring violins, violas, cellos, trombones and vocals, brought together to play Pete and Emily’s collaborative string, brass and vocal arrangements. Truly, a family affair. 

As well as further ﬂeshing out the sound with analogue synths, tube organs, drum machines and mellotrons, some inventive techniques were deployed – a decayed tape loop of Emily’s vocals used to create the stuttering rhythm in Mud and Flame for example, or prepared guitars recurring as percussion and drones.

Now they proudly present ‘Welcome Strangers’, an album of modernist pop weirdness for the 21st century, a bricolage where classicism meets experimentalism and repeated listening unearths new stories for this contemporary age. More elaborate and expansive than its predecessor, this is music as cartography, Modern Studies mapping their own multi-dimensional internal world. 

‘Welcome Strangers’. Welcome all.

Modern Studies are: Emily Scott (vocals, organs, piano, double bass). Rob St. John (vocals, guitars, synths, harmonium, tape loops). Pete Harvey (cello, bass, piano). Joe Smillie (drums, mellotron, vocals).

Modern Studies - Mud and Flame

Partners in Motion

Canyon on Fire

Taken from their new album 'Siesta' 
Out 28th September
Pre-order link: lnk.to/hatersiesta

“Hater’s songs epitomize jangling grace as Caroline Landahl coos with maximum approachability.” NPR

“Their unique take on rock music feels familiar and lived-in, taking bits from indie-pop, post-punk and classic rock.” Stereogum 

“Gorgeous, achingly bittersweet vocals, perpetually swaying between comforting and devastating.” Gorilla Vs Bear 

Resolute in their sound, ‘Siesta’ is the perfect soundtrack for that summer romance and the inevitable break up. Heartbreak has never sounded so sweet! 

Hater’s powerful vulnerability and charm has seen them rise quickly through the ranks earning kudos from NPR (Austin 100), Stereogum (Best New Bands Of 2017), The Fader, BBC6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and more.

Sprawling guitars chime whilst slow burning grooves and classic rock rhythms allow tender-hearted vocals to soar over intelligible dream pop. Effortless and assured, the Scandi quartet drift eloquently into well-structured and stunning melodies.

Produced by Joakim Lindberg (Yast and Hey Elbow) at Studio Sickan within old railway sheds outside of Malmö Sweden. Hater tackle their personal experiences of life, love and relationships yet through their shared songwriting there's a togetherness. Synth pop earworm ‘It’s So Easy’ contrasts the slower paced 'I Wish I Gave You More Time Because I Love You' that blends beautiful sweeping sax from Inge Petersson Lindbäck. The haunting metronomic beat of ‘I Sure Want To’ calls to mind local residents Death And Vanilla, Hollywood glamour exudes on shimmering 'Things To Keep Up With' and 'Cut Me Loose' captures those long youthful days of summers gone by.. "Wouldn't it be fun? Noon is halfway and I feel gone".

Hater “boast Marr-esque guitars and vocals reminiscent of fellow Swedes The Concretes” (Norman Records) whilst having the pop sensibilities of The Chills, Alvvays, Snail Mail and Makthaverskan.
In early 2017 Hater released their debut album ‘You Tried’ blending jangle with grit, their recent EP ‘Red Blinders’ (Fire Records) soon followed in support of their first headline tour across Europe. Festivals in 2018 have already included SXSW, Eurosonic and Ment.

Hater release ‘Siesta’ on limited edition yellow opaque double LP, standard black vinyl and CD via Fire Records on 28th September.
