Grandbrothers - Naive Rider

"For my cover version I chose this track by Yeasayer. The original is a  beautifully sad yet upbeat breakup song, strident and bright with synth lines cascading around a heartfelt vocal. I wanted to make it sound far more broken and fragile, so I re-played it on the piano, pitched it down, then mangled it quite heavily so it came out sort of wobbly and knackered sounding. I wanted to leave it quite bare, just letting that amazing melody lead the way." - Jon Hopkins

Jon Hopkins - I Remember

If you’ve never had the pleasure of seeing Chilly Gonzales & Kaiser Quartett LIVE , watch them perform “Sweet Burden” and “Advantage Points” from Chambers, and “The Grudge” from the Ivory Tower album, at the prestigious Berlin Konzerthaus here: http://tinyurl.com/mckmh3m

The composition of Chambers was inspired by Chilly Gonzales’ deepening relationship with Hamburg's Kaiser Quartett. The album re-imagines Romantic-era chamber music as today's addictive pop, using the strings as a modern-day sampler. 

To guide fans into his Chambers, Gonzo introduces each song with short note of intention and a dedication, here is “Sweet Burden”:
“SWEET BURDEN”

Dedicated to Gabriel Faure 

My Solo Piano song (and label) Gentle Threat is one of many contradictory titles in my repertoire.  Sweet Burden is the album's first bona fide tear jerker. A long, ambiguous melody inspired by French composer Gabriel Faure. The viola solo is slowly joined by the cello, while the violins chime in with a single-note pattern.  We all have our burdens to bear, and maybe only music can sweeten them.

 "Lean back comfortably, open your mind to your heart.
Take a deep breath and let the journey begin here..."

Friday the 16 of October 2015 Albert af Ekenstam from Gothenburg released his first debut single "Walking". The sound of a delicate, intimate and soulful song reached us with deep clarity and at once Gothenburg had found a new favorite artist.

* "we can’t wait to hear more from Albert af Ekenstam" - Mattias El Mansouri, Ge hit Musiken. * "one classic beauty that makes us longing for more" - Redaktionen, Hymn. * "so exited to hear and see where this lands" - Que. club, Djungeltrumman

April 1st 2016 Albert af Ekenstam will release his second single "Angel Liz" (Kning Disk), and for everyone who has been waiting to hear more from Albert af Ekenstam will have their high expectations fulfilled and know that it was worth the wait. The single "Angel Liz" is without a doubt in a deeper bond between the singer-songwriter and the post-rock scene who yearns to heard.

A heartfelt triumph of euphoria and melancholia, that shines a magnificent blue and yet calming light in the dark. You can describe "Angel Liz" in so many sublime ways but never anything less then one gracious classic masterpiece. Albert af Ekenstam is planned to release his full debut album in September 2016 — this will surely be something we can expect to make us reach higher grounds. After listening to his second single we can all be safe to know that this album will bring the music scene something extra ordinary and unique.

"...breath out. The journey has just begun."

Jean-Michel Blais and CFCF are both accomplished musicians. Their collaborative work on the 'Cascades' EP, which is out March 15th on Arts & Crafts, is a heartbreakingly pretty collection of lush explorations pulled forward by warm piano and a fluid mix of new age calm and forward-thinking ambient. "In a Landscape (Rework)," as the parenthetical suggests, is a cover – of sorts – of a piece by John Cage of the same name. It premiered on RBMA Radio's Discreet Music, our weekly deep-dive into all manner of experimental sounds.

Pre-order 'Union Cafe' on LP/CD/DL: http://phonofile.link/union-cafe

Erased Tapes has the huge privilege of reissuing the original Penguin Cafe Orchestra’s last ever studio album Union Cafe including a first time vinyl edition — out December 1st 2017 to coincide with the 20th Anniversary of founder Simon Jeffes’ passing in 1997.  

It was 1972 in the South of France when Simon had an unfortunate experience with food poisoning which lead to a much more fortunate circumstance when a vivid dream, induced from his illness and depicting a dystopian future, conceived the Penguin Cafe; a charming place where solace, harmony, and the orchestra’s unique music could be found amidst brutal concrete structures and darkness. For the following 25 years, Simon carried out this vision bringing brightness into a world full of noise. Sadly, after his passing, the original orchestra disbanded, but the doors to this happy place reopened when his son Arthur decided to continue his father’s legacy under the name Penguin Cafe.

The continuation of the PCO began at London’s Union Chapel in 2007 when Arthur and the original musicians commemorated Simon 10 years after his death. Another 10 years forward, 2017 will see Penguin Cafe pay tribute to him once again at the Union Chapel on December 11th where they will perform Union Cafe in full – a union from all corners of this magical world.

Union Cafe was the fifth, and the last studio album by Penguin Cafe Orchestra. It was initially released in 1993 merely on cassette and CD, and will now be given a new breath of life, for the first time available on vinyl, and another chance to reach old and new fans alike. 

“Union Cafe was the last studio album recorded by the original Penguin Cafe Orchestra and marked a move towards a definitive English pastoral sound combined with larger string arrangements set against longer solo piano pieces. With this last album they got even closer to the PCO idea of squaring the circle of intellectually challenging modern music that is still actually beautiful. For me this has always been a contender as my favourite PCO album, and the fact that it never ended up on vinyl was more to do with the way things were in the early 90s, and chance rather than it being deliberate. So in that sense this release is righting an old wrong. The slow development of the pieces means that you can really get lost in them and vinyl is of course the perfect way to do that.” — Arthur Jeffes

Arthur very kindly gave access to the original Union Cafe painting that currently lives in his North London home studio, created by Arthur’s mother Emily Young and now photographed by Alex Kozobolis for this special reissue edition.

After 12 years of instrumental albums (ranging from a pair of Solo Pianos, chamber music, collaborative albums with Boys Noize, Jarvis Cocker and Plastikman and even a best-selling Christmas record), Gonzo has a lot to get off his chest. 

His upcoming album "Gonzo", out September 13th, is available now for pre-orders. 

But is this truly a rap album? Instrumental pieces will remind listeners of Gonzo’s extravagant “musical genius” persona, as the words and rhymes from previous verses settle into their ears.
