Reinhard Vanbergen reveals first taste ‘Helectrix’ of forthcoming album.

‘Helectrix’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The project is a playground of cross-era experiments revolving around the guitar. Combining 60s-jangle and psychedelia with modern beats, the multi-instrumentalist cooks up a sort of retro-futuristic surf rock. Timelines united in lucid melodies, weaving in and out in a masquerade of guitars.

The album is a tribute to Reinhard’s long-time guitar-manufacturer Guttlin Guitars, with all instruments on the record except beats and synths made by him, and all tracks taking their name after his guitar models.

Andrzej Korzyński 
Secret Enigma

Released 29th September 2023

Back due to unprecedented demand and available for the first time since the original 2012 pressing, Finders Keepers Records is proud to once again present these twenty-two rare and unreleased vintage tracks from the secret vaults of one of the most enigmatic composers in 60s/70s/80s European cinema, Andrzej Korzyński. Originally recorded in the best studios in Poland, Italy and France for experimental film, political allegories, lost television shows, sound libraries and radio – these tracks have been hidden behind the Iron Curtain on lost master tapes and film reels until now! Secret Enigma represents the first ever dedicated anthology of this great composer’s work.

Originally released exactly thirty years ago In artistic cinema Andrzej Korzyński's unique experiments with jazz, pop, rock, orchestral and electronic music make his name synonymous with the most praised (Andrzej Wajda) and the most provocative (Andrzej Zuławski) Polish filmmakers (counting many more in between). As an early patron of the Polish New Wave and a key exponent of the development of conceptual Polish pop music his expansive portfolio has remained commercially unreleased and untravelled (like many of the original socialist era Polish made films) and has yet to find its deserved place next to the work of Ennio Morricone, François de Roubaix and John Barry. Now enhanced by a renewed interest in vintage art house film and a subculture of open minded music collectors many Easter European artists, such as Krzysztof Komeda (Poland), Zdenek Liška (Czechoslovakia) and now Andrzej Korzynski, have finally begun to earn their place alongside their Central European peers.

For lovers of film music and experimental pop, this debut anthology and appraisal of Korzyński's work is long overdue, and stylistically, probably never more relevant.

CLOSED PARADISE - HARD DRIVE

From the album Mi Casa available February 23, 2024 on Western Vinyl
pre-order / listen https://lnk.to/mi_casa

Returning home has been a recurring theme in works of art for millennia. But what if home was more than just a destination? What if the comfort and reward of home could be uncovered in realms of transition? In the journey itself? On his debut album Mi Casa, Tomás Mendizabal — aka Quién Es Geronimo — explores these concepts through a remarkably fresh take on confessional songwriting, ambient pop, and stunningly vibrant alt folk. But to understand the concepts behind Mi Casa, you must first understand Quién Es Geronimo.

In the past decade, the singer-songwriter left behind his roots in Chile, completed his music studies in the Netherlands, and had his heart broken in Berlin, all before settling in Mexico City in the early months of 2022. These experiences left Mendizabal transformed, emotionally devastated, and ultimately, inspired enough to create Mi Casa.

“Although I’ve always justified moving to other countries for practical reasons,” the artist explains, “I think the main reason is more spiritual than anything else. I’m in search of experiences. Experiences that linger only in your memory: beautiful and fun nights with friends, people you fell in love with, goodbyes, and the final realization that you are merely the continuity of it all.”

According to Mendizabal, this is the dimension where the concept of home begins to manifest, the idea that “no matter under which circumstances and how far from your loved ones you are, it is within yourself that home needs to be built, upon the loving and cherished memories that have transformed you.”
On Mi Casa, this philosophy is distilled into an album that is by turns oneiric yet lucid, meditative yet dynamic, and above all, unforgettable. The collection was initially conceived as a sort of soundtrack for the liminal space between dreams and waking life, a map for weary travelers who slip from the tumult of reality into gentle realms of sleep.

“Punto Final” greets you with simple strummed guitar and lulling bass before Mendizabal’s voice enters the landscape, laden with overdubs and subtle experimental textures. Emerging like a sprout reaching for light, the song — like most of Mi Casa — the song maintains a darkness at its roots, as the artist questions where the “final point” in life and love may lie. Mendizabal’s gentle voice and lush instrumentation further belies themes like jealousy and anguish on tracks like “Dime si es Verdad” and the stunning two-part composition “Serotonina,” which begins as a sorrowful acoustic ballad before guiding the listener to sublime peaks richly adorned with seraphic strings and slide guitar.

Through a series of dreamlike instrumental interludes, Medizabal suspends the listener in the gauzy world of Mi Casa. In less skilled hands, transitional tracks like these could feel like filler, but on Mi Casa, they weave the album into a cohesive whole, as they complete the chiaroscuro, adding depth and relief.

“Outro,” the final track on the album, finds Mendizabal at the piano, saying farewell to the friends and lovers he’s met along the way. “It is a bit sad,” the songwriter explains, “but I see it as a gratitude song. All of these people have become my family over the years. Ultimately, they’re my home.” Listening to Mi Casa, it's easy to dissolve into the tableau: the journey, the dream, and everything that’s happened along the way.

On the cover of Mi Casa, the artist behind Quién Es Geronimo poses next to a friend wearing a monster mask. Although the photo was taken as a joke, it serves as a fitting representation for the artist’s debut. The sojourn has been beautiful, the landscape gentle and dreamlike, and yet the monster remains. On Mi Casa, Quién Es Geronimo doesn’t work to fight the creeping darkness, he embraces it as one of the integral workings and viscera of home.

Wah Wah 45s are proud to present the second single on the label from a very special new artist, Léa Mondo.

Hailing originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, by way of Wigan, and now settled in North London, this young singer-songwriter and guitarist enjoys a plethora of eclectic influences. Léa’s musical output is a smorgasbord of experimental styles fusing aspects of soul, high life, bossa-nova, jazz and reggae. Drawing inspiration from reggae icon Bob Marley, and Malian artists such as Fatoumata Diawara and Rokia Traorè, as well as Nigerian born UK soul superstar Sade, her music largely talks about life, love, peace and freedom while reflecting on the state of the world.

Vices is a song about Lea’s personal struggles. The singer’s lyrics explore the highs and lows of personal addictions and her history of poor relationship choices. Drawing influences from Red Hot Chilli Peppers (Californication) drums and arrangements, the melody of the tune is curated in a way to take the listener on a journey that leads to a climax to convey the feeling one feels when they’re coming up, to eventual peak.

Léa and her band recorded the song live at That Sound Studio, Tottenham with producer Louis Auneau and engineer Bar Huss. The band consists of Jasmine Burton (Bass), Alex Karakurt (Drums), Tawanda Manika (Guitar), Olivia Cuttill (Trumpet), Max Rodriguez (Rhythm Guitar) and Léa herself providing lyrics, vocals, guitar, arrangements and co-producing the track.

Since 2021, Léa has been somewhat prolific on the London live music scene, co-founding famed female & non-binary improv session Peng Femme Jam, and sharing stages with our very own Afrobeat Ambassador Dele Sosimi and Afla Sackey’s Afrik Bawantu project.
