Edvard Graham Lewis 'All Under (Film Score)' (eMEGO 194)

»sleepstep« is the first collaboration between raster-noton and dasha rush. the record‘s subtitle »sonar poems for my sleepless friends« describes its underlying concept – »sleepstep« is a trip through electronically alienated microcompositions and sound collages that, interwoven with text passages, aim at creating a dream-like atmosphere.

the stations of this journey are striving for oblivion of time, an immersion, a drifting in universal states – death, life, birth, grief, desire. the titles often appear to be raw sketches, fugitive, surreal short stories that rather want to break open than execute.

the musical arrangement, in this context, can be described as rather subtle and fragile. though electronically manipulated, no production technique is pushing itself to the fore. and though clichés are not dreaded, »sleepstep«, as a result, stays away from being cliché. the sonar poems for her sleepless friends are feminine, subtle and personal reports. a musical dream journey in the form of a classical concept record – an album that also stands in the tradition of ambient music.

dasha rush is already known as a techno dj and producer. here on »sleepstep«, she celebrates her alter ego. the cd version comes with a 32-pages booklet that also shows her photographic interest and includes the aforementioned poems written by her. furthermore there is 2 x 12" vinyl version.

Clinical / Physical (feat. Loto Ball)

"That sounds really great! Nice tune and vocals!" (Angels of Liberty)

Death is alive and kicking
Death is alive collecting souls

Sometimes she give us signs
Sometimes she comes without warning
Before tonight I couldn´t see
This tragic part of reality

Everywhere I go, anywhere I go
But she´s losing the game
Too many people in this world
Don´t even know why they´re here

Les Chats Noirs - Death Is Alive

The dense, claustrophobic cut is about as industrial as it gets and is certainly one that requires a cautious approach. Louisahhh's echoed, haunting vocals remain in the forefront while the weighted kicks, groove-fuelled hi-hats and razor-sharp melodies thrash in the background.

Cindytalk 'In Search Of New Realities' (EMEGO 219)

Dear Boats fans,

For a few years we have received messages asking if we would reissue our back catalogue. Over ten years of archival material has been stored between Craig’s shed and Andrew’s studio. It has been discussed but always put on hold due to timing, touring, and other project releases; as well as a wedding (Craig and Annabel’s!)

This summer, we sat down together to discuss the possibility of a deluxe reissue. It had to include all the things that we love (beautiful handcrafted design, limited copies, screen-prints and personal touches) ... things we know that you, our fans, appreciate too. One of the main questions we had was, “how do we keep the artistic independence for a special project and not get restrained by label requirements?”

Simple, really! We reissue it ourselves, for our fans, directly to our fans. 

And so, WE MADE IT FOR YOU. 

We have created a strictly limited number of 98 deluxe box archival reissue sets. 
Why only 98?
We have pulled apart the original pianos used to record We Made It For You and Tomorrow Time.
Each deluxe set will include a unique signed piano key.
Minus our personal copies (two each, and one for the boss) it leaves just under 100 to sell.

We will press after pre-sale. That means, we can only press the records after we have sold the 98 sets. If we don’t sell the full amount, you will receive a full refund.

We are however, optimistic that you can support us, and the project can go ahead!

Here are the gifts you will receive:

These newly re-mastered recordings: 
• Songs By The Sea (Double Vinyl)
• We Made It For You (Vinyl)
• Tomorrow Time (Vinyl)
• Static Clings (Vinyl)
• Lost Ideas Expanded (CD)
• The Boats Live Europe 2006 Bootleg (Cassette)

• A limited, numbered, screen-print with each release, made by our own (fair) hands.
• A designed booklet with each vinyl release.
• A unique piano key from the We Made It For You / Tomorrow Time pianos.
• A piece of the original blueprint artwork from Songs By The Sea.
• Each vinyl will be hand numbered and signed.
• And... your name will be printed in the Lost Ideas booklet as a Boats Patron, to mark your support to the archive reissues.



This is the first time these albums have been released on archival black vinyl with new masters by our friend Miles Whittaker (DEMDIKE STARE). 

THIS IS A ONE-TIME, LIMITED OPPORTUNITY. 

With such a small release number, they are likely to sell out quickly. The £200 is only a one-time payment for the full archival set and the additional extras. Copies are limited to two per person (for those who like to play/archive). This ensures the deluxe editions only end up with our true fans and not for resale on discogs for £££.

Any questions? You may have them answered here (FAQ). Anything else? Send us a message here. 

LASTLY...

So many of our fans have become our friends. By supporting our project you support us, to keep on delivering music and merchandise independently. From all ‘the family’ of The Boats, THANK YOU!

Bye for now,

Craig and Andrew

A Winged Victory For The Sullen, the otherworldly collaboration between Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie and Dustin O’Halloran, commence the New Year with their third full-length titled Iris – available worldwide via Erased Tapes on January 13th 2017.

Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie and Dustin O'Halloran first met the director Jalil Lespert after he had discovered A Winged Victory For The Sullen on a music search online. After listening to their music, he immediately knew: "it was the sound of my new film". With an excellent cast of France’s finest actors Romain Duris, Charlotte Le Bon, and the director himself, plus a script filled with tension, sexuality and darkness, they knew there was a lot of musical territory to mine. It was agreed that they wanted to explore more analogue electronique experiments as well as working with a large string ensemble, to create something that felt very modern and still cinematic.

“Despite A Winged Victory For The Sullen being associated with film score type music, trying to survive the process of creating the modern film score is not for people with fragile egos. It requires those who are the most responsive to change. The director and the film presented a new set of challenges, so we decided to stop thinking about cinema as an object, and moved closer to using the film’s images as triggers for experiences. The more we were able to let go, and see the music as something that happens, like a process – not a quality, the more we were able to reach a place that sounded like us. It was as if we were making our first record all over again, except being filtered through another language littered with dead metaphors”, the duo elaborate.

The recording sessions began with their long time sound collaborator Francesco Donadello in the form of some modular synth sessions in Berlin. Dustin and Adam began working from the script in their own studios, and after filming commenced they continued to create music that could be used for first edits of the film – each day getting new scenes that triggered ideas that would become the base of the film score. Over the course of the next few months the two slowly crafted the music with weekly discussion from their studio to the editing room. The final sessions to what is now the score of Iris were recorded with a 40-piece string orchestra at Magyar Radio in Budapest.

Upon label founder Robert Raths' request the over sixty minutes of material were then edited down to a concise album listen at forty-one minutes with a physical release set for January 13, 2017. The digital bonus track edition includes two solo pieces by Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie entitled The Endless Battle Of The Maudlin Ballade Part 2 and The Endless Battle Of The Maudlin Ballade Part 3, as well as tracks by Petite Noir, dOP, DJ Pone and The Shoes which feature in the film. The artwork was created by Berlin based illustrator Stephanie F. Scholz who also created the iconic cover for Nils Frahm's Music for The Motion Picture Victoria.
