The debut album from Coney Island Sound: Klang!, is released on the Score Draw Music label and accompanied by remixes from Bitmap, Thrash Hat and Minotaur Shock.

It's a collage of light hearted cut-and-paste electronic music made at the seaside by sound archivist, Ewan Gordon.

Coney Island Sound is a project that fuses together samples of old recordings, junkshop synths, found sounds and acoustic instruments in a folk and electronica influenced mix.

Recently, "The Lemonade Song" was chosen as Lauren Laverne's headphones moment on her BBC6 Music breakfast show. 

Additionally Introducing Mr Kellogg was featured on Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone and Klang aired on national and regional BBC Introducing shows including Tom Robinson's show and BBC Across The Line.

Album tracks regularly feature on Amazing Radio.
