The Connoisseur of Great Excuse - Damien Rice

Adanowsky - You're the One (Nils Hoffmann Remix)

Unhallowed Ground



A ten-point plan.

1.  Speedy Wunderground is a new label which begins on February 25th with the release of I Go Out by Steve Mason & Emiliana Torrini. 

2.  Speedy Wunderground is the idea of producer Dan Carey. Dan will produce all releases. All records will be recorded at Dan’s South London studio. Dan has previously produced Franz Ferdinand, Bat For Lashes, TOY, Willy Mason, Django Django, Emiliana Torrini, The Kills, Chairlift and Steve Mason.

3.  Recording of all records will be done in one day and finish before midnight. The recordings will be a snapshot of the day. Mixing will be done the day following the recording, also in one day only. This will prevent over-cooking and ‘faff’.

4. There will be no lunch break during recording and mixing days.

5.  Overdubs will be kept to a minimum allowing the recordings to be free of clutter.

6.  The recordings will appear in limited runs of two hundred and fifty 7”s, which will be in the shops as soon as humanly possible following their completion.

7.  The core of each song will be a live take recorded in the dark with smoke and lazers and somewhere on each record the Swarmatron - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJyub78p924 - will make an appearance.

8.  Speedy Wunderground work quickly. There will be as a little delay as possible between recording and release. Speedy Wunderground records will not sit on the shelf gathering dust waiting to be released.

9.  Speedy Wunderground will release each year’s recordings as a compilation at the end of the year.

10. Speedy Wunderground Records will not be slow.

exile from paradise / undertow

​Iceland's Biggi Hilmars' distinctive, provocative sound, described as having ‘unique beauty’, has fast cemented his status as a unique and prolific film composer. Having made a name for himself for his work on film scores, television, movie trailers and commercials, he has also released three solo albums and is currently working on his fourth.
 
With his roots firmly planted in neoclassical, his cinematic soundscapes encapsulate the picturesque beauty of Iceland. His beautifully crafted, melodic music consistently inspires and always feels both contemporary and timeless, taking the listener on a journey. Biggi is influenced by an eclectic range of composers and musicians, spanning Ennio Morricone, Philip Glass, Max Richter, Björk, Pink Floyd, Radiohead and The Beatles.
 
As a composer, ​just some of Biggi's credits include the Nordic TV drama series 'Thin Ice' (Yellowbird & Sagafilm), for which he was nominated for the best score and album at The Icelandic Music Awards 2021. The Grierson Trust award-winning feature documentary 'The Last Igloo', produced by Swan Films for BBC4, the National Geographic adventure series ‘Fiennes: Return to the Nile’ starring Joseph and Ranulph Fiennes, ‘Beeba Boys’, a feature film directed by Academy Award nominee Deepa Mehta and the multi award-winning Channel 4 VR documentary 'Grenfell Our Home', directed by Jonathan Rudd.  Biggi has just completed the score for Fremantle / Blue Media’s high-end factual ft. documentary ‘Arctic Drift’, which will be released later in 2021.
