Black Sail

Introducing one quarter of San Francisco’s Cool Ghouls, Pat Thomas! He’s the tall dude who plays the bass.  He also writes one third of the Ghouls' songs.  Coasters Riding in the Air is a collection of songs written, performed and recorded by Pat Thomas.
 
The Cool Ghouls have made a name for themselves. Their soulful tunes and energetic live set have earned the band back-to-back slots with toast of the coast acts like Sonny and the Sunsets, Thee Oh Sees, The Fresh and Onlys, Mikal Cronin, Fuzz, Magic Trick and Shannon and the Clams etc., and they have no plans to slow their role.  It has been less than a year since Cool Ghouls released their self-titled debut with Empty Cellar and Burger Records, and a new full-length album (recorded by Sonny Smith) is already in the can.  The above in mind, one might guess that the Ghouls have their hands full; but like label-mate and fellow San Franciscan, Tim Cohen… Pat has more songs than any one band is prepared to handle.
 
So as the Ghouls keep on truckin’, Thomas is offering this batch of solo material, Coasters Riding in the Air.  He wants to keep the songs flowing; to convey another corner of the musical realm that he and Cool Ghouls inhabit; but mostly, because he recorded ‘em and he’d like to share ‘em.  Pat laid these tracks at a leisurely pace, coming back to them whenever he could.  He plays everything on the album, except for some saxophone and trombone lines played by Ryan Wong and Richard Harkins.  The result is an ear-pleasing contemporary take on classic west coast rock ‘n’ roll. These songs were seen through for their own sake and good thing, because they are great.  They are infectious all-around-rad tunes; and now that they are here in the world with us, they’re free to go and do what they please.
 
Coasters Riding in the Air will see a limited label-only release on November 26 (with a December 3rd wide-release) via digital download on Empty Cellar and on cassette from Burger Records.

Echo Lake - 'Waves'

We are thrilled to announce the debut single and first solo release to come from South London’s Lou E, aka 18 year old Louis Milburn. ‘What Do You Do It For?’ / ‘Next Time’ was recorded and mixed in Milburn’s bedroom and a friend’s garden shed in the Autumn of 2015, amidst Louis’ hectic touring schedule playing guitar and keys for Oscar across the globe. The single will be released on 7” vinyl and digitally on 26th February 2016. 

Despite his youth, Milburn is currently sitting on around three albums worth of unreleased material and this prolificity has an almost cult-like feel to it. Pairing the song writing styles and lyricism of the likes of Elliot Smith and Lou Reed with intricate contemporary guitar work similar to Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Lou E’s work is intensely personal whilst retaining a refined and sincere feeling. In his own words, “Lou E is the chance for me to discuss issues, problems and worries that I’m far too British to talk about with everybody and nobody at the same time”.

This concern for a progressive dialogue is found in lead track ‘What Do You Do It For?’, which deals with faux-spirituality and it’s rise as a trend, the snide line of “go find yourself some more” a shot at those who return from foreign cultures with only a set of clichéd appropriations and a pair of harem pants to show for their travels. Turning on his own anxieties for the single’s B-side, ‘Next Time’, Milburn mourns a relationship that ended badly due to a lack of communication and honesty as he sings ‘Say next time for sure / When your heart is out the door’ as drums crash behind him. 

‘What Do You Do It For?’ / ‘Next Time’ is released 26th February on 7” vinyl and digitally via Beech Coma. The single is the second instalment of the label’s bi-monthly subscription series, part-funded by Arts Council England, with the first cut coming late last year from Bruising.
