SWS004 - The Reverend Cleve Freckleton & The Sinners 'World Gone Crazy', the  fourth release on the new Super Weird Substance label - release date July 31st 2015.

When 'World Gone Crazy' was originally written in the early nineties as part of the Mind Body & Soul project Greg Wilson was then developing with singer Tracey Carmen, it was intended for an album that never was and only a demo version was ever recorded.

Its lyrics identified an information age already spiraling out of control. Two decades on however, and it’s far beyond anything anyone could have imagined back then. Originally referencing the post-acid house generation, ‘a generation lost and disillusioned’ now becomes the sixties generation, growing old in a world even more corrupt and confused than the one they thought they’d change.

Listening through the old MBS demos for tracks that might be updated for The Reynolds, it was suggested that 'World Gone Crazy' would be perfect for Leeds singer/musician The Reverend Cleve Freckleton, who came into our Super Weird orbit when he crossed paths with Blind Arcade at last year’s Latitude Festival. The gruff gravitas of The Reverend’s voice was exactly what the track needed, serving to give its words more relevance now than when they were written.

From an early age the gospel sound of Cleve’s family’s Pentecostal practices loomed large over his life and after a chance encounter with a pin-sharp pimp- turned-preacher, Cleve ventured to the depths of America with him. As ‘Minister of Music’ The Reverend worked in some of the Southern Belt’s most deprived neighbourhoods and even found himself performing to James Brown in a South Carolina penitentiary chapel.

Channeling the fire and spectacle of a spiritual laden Deep South service, Cleve found his own distinct groove in secular music upon returning to the UK. From recording with British neo funk stalwarts The New Mastersounds on their debut album to taking a band of musicians to Durban, South Africa on request of Leeds city council, Cleve’s forceful voice has reached a diverse set of ears.

'World Gone Crazy' was adroitly programmed by Peza, with The Reynolds and the song’s original singer, Tracey Carmen, providing powerful bvox and Ché Wilson weighing in with funk-laced rhythm guitar - Cleve cuts a commanding figure, calling out the world’s wrongs from his sonic pulpit.

When hedonism took him to the brink of self-destruction many feared it would be the last they saw of Kermit Leveridge. However, the driving force in his life - writing lyrics - kept him going through his introspective recovery and when he was finally fit enough to return, he had amassed a wealth of material aching to break out of his countless notepads. 

Coming together with forward-thinking bass-maker, Luke EVM128, they channelled Kermit’s bottled up magic through Luke’s ‘Evermean’ beats to form the uplifting, life-affirming Blind Arcade. With an accessible but edgy balearic, somewhat psychedelic hip-hop sensibility with real depth and substance, it was clear they were on to something special. 

Drug addiction can chip away at the soul, leaving people bitter in the heart. Letting all the negativity out through his pen proved incredibly cathartic for Kermit, aiding his recovery and allowing him to move forward with a positive message.

This centred approach to negativity shines through the lyrics in Blind Arcade’s 'Give It Away', brought to life by the commanding voice of London-based songstress BB.JAMES and delicately supplemented by The Reynolds and Tracey Carmen. 

First appearing on the 'Blind Arcade Meets Super Weird Substance In The Morphogenetic Field' mixtape that catalysed the beginnings of the Super Weird Substance label, Give It Away brims with the soulful warmth and spine-tingling magic that connected with people as the mixtape spread across the sound-waves last summer and paved the way for the autumn ‘Happenings’ that swept across the UK.

Given a new lease of life with three brand new re-recorded versions to fit the label’s current direction, 'Give It Away' returns in the form of a sumptuous, slow-burning club dub, a deep and driving radio mix keeping the spirit of the original and a radio-friendly mellow vocal mix.

With their sights on an forthcoming album release through Super Weird Substance in 2016, Blind Arcade have expanded on the success of last year’s mixtape with more of the same serendipitous alchemy and a new and improved live show featuring Black Grape’s current backing band, which they rolled out at Festival Number 6 in Portmeirion - a highlight of a truly sensational twelve hour Super Weird Happening.

Written by Kermit Leveridge and EVM128, produced by Greg Wilson and mixed by Greg and Derek Kaye, the new versions of Give It Away feature Kieran O’Malley on strings, Ché Wilson on guitar and Gareth ‘Misterlong’ Bailey, Craig Crofton and Gary Alesbrook aka The Longhorns on brass - trombone, tenor sax and trumpet respectively.

#FreeDL - Hess Is More - Youarenotaprimate (Dimitri From Paris At The Loft Instrumental)

This track is from a jam I had recently with two of my closest pals @stroelliot and @felixfast4ward. We hung out all night just free-styling and improvising and this is one of the ideas that came out. Stro jumped on the keys and started playing that spaced out melody, then Felix joined in with some live drum pad insanity. I manged to find a lovely little vocal sample to lay on top that brought the whole thing together. I decided to put this out because I really enjoy listening to it, and I hope that you will too!
