Left For America

Songhoy Blues have announced details of the release of their debut album, Music In Exile, which is released on Transgressive Records on Monday 23rd February 2015.

The tracklisting of the Nick Zinner / Marc-Antoine Moreau produced album is as follows:

1.   Soubour
2.   Irganda
3.   Al Hassidi Terei
4.   Jolie
5.   Desert Melodie
6.   Mali
7.   Sekou Oumarou
8.   Nick
9.   Al Tchere Bele
10. Wayei
11. Petit Metier

The album will be preceded by the release of a single Al Hassidi Terei / Mali on Monday 8th December 2014. The single will be available on 7” and digitally.

Once one of the most prominent and powerful of Mali’s many ethnic groups, the Songhoy, who hail from the banks of the Niger River between the ancient cities of Timbuktu and Gao, have suffered a long slow decline since their apogee in the 6th and 17th centuries. Now largely living on the margins of the West African nation whose political and cultural life is dominated by the Bambara people of the south, they nonetheless retain a fierce pride in their history, beliefs and music.

I need some sun in my eyes.
I need a love that’s hard to find.
I need your picture on the wall.
So I’m still there to watch it fall. 
I need some time on my own.
Find me there when I’m alone. 
You used to call me on your phone. 
Every time I left home. 

You’re nothing like someone I find too polite.
I never fall in love with something that I like.
I’m falling out with my girlfriend, She’s wrong when I’m right.
We’ll never fall in love but some day we just might. 

I need some more, maybe all?
Don’t know what I want it for. 
Baby, go and find your gun.
You can shoot me just for fun.
And I’m alone, in my own.
‘Singles Only’ funeral home. 
I’ve been acting like I don’t.
But it’s only because you wont. 

So let’s fall in love some more.
Forever and not at all. 
With a boathouse in Mykonos.
You’re nothing like me. 
Let’s fall in love some more.
Forever and not at all. 
With a boathouse in Mykonos.
You’re nothing, you’re nothing.

You’re nothing like someone I find too polite.
I never fall in love with something that I like.
I’m falling out with my girlfriend, She’s wrong when I’m right.
We’ll never fall in love but some day we just might. 

I’m falling upside down in Waterfalls. 
I’m falling upside down in Waterfalls. 
I’m falling upside down in Waterfalls. 
I’m falling upside down in Waterfalls. 

Ah babe..
I found you at the foot of my bed.
It took a little time to know. 
Just how you’d fallen out of love with out somebody. 
Never over looked the times we fighted.
Never found the fault in what we righted. 
Give a little love and hope I find it.
Tell me on your own and then recite it. 
I’m the one to know when I feel tired.
I’m the one to know when I try hide it.
Took a little time to know.
How you’d fallen out of love with out somebody. 
I’m the one to know when I feel tired. 
I’m the one to know when I ..

I need some sun in my eyes.
I need a love that’s hard to find.
I need your picture on the wall.
So I’m still there to watch it fall. 
I need some sun in my eyes.
I need a love that’s hard to find.
I need your picture on the wall.
So I’m still there to watch it fall. 

Ah let’s fall in love some more.
Forever and not at all. 
With a boathouse in Mykonos.
You’re nothing like me. 
Let’s fall in love some more.
Forever and not at all. 
With a boathouse in Mykonos.
You’re nothing.

And I’ve fallen for another.
Might even really love her.
And I wish you were your mother 
Or anybody other.
And I’ve fallen for another.
Might even really love her.
And I wish you were your mother 
Or anybody other.
And I’ve fallen for you. 

Oh How high.
Oh How high.

AmatrArt are due to release the double a-side single Mirror/Soft Skin on 8th April 2016 via Bloc+ Music. Subversively playing with the indie/electro dynamic, the band have carefully constructed a sound that embraces the immediacy of indie-pop, allied to a distinctively high brow ambient sound, all unified by the dreamy Mark Hollis (Talk Talk) style vocals produced by Jonathan Mullen. 

Mirror, which opens with a sweeping synth and heavily reverbed guitar, is a song of self-reflection with the protagonist questioning his decisions, before summing up with the line “where did I go wrong?” A rasping guitar riff emanates throughout the chorus followed by a searing solo, as the song builds and builds before coming to a crashing end.

Not to be outdone, Soft Skin offers another example of the talent AmatrArt possess despite their young age. Encapsulating the electronica intricacies of Kid A era Radiohead, Soft Skin kicks off with the alluring sounds of synth straddling chiming guitar, while singer Mullen shows off his vocal range, the verses delivered flawlessly, as the mix between his and the rest of the bands punctuated choral vocals help to create an almost overwhelming effect.

Having known each other and played music together from a young age Jonathan Mullen (Vocals & Guitar), Josh McGeechan (Guitar) and Niall Jootun (Bass) formed AmatrArt after a series of jams and bedroom recordings. Completing the line up with Niall Morris (Samples/Synths) and Lewis Orr (Drums) the band have gone onto produce as sound that sits somewhere between contemporary acts such as alt-J, Dutch Uncles and Nothing But Thieves. Having already played the T Break Stage at T in the Park last year as well as picking up support from the likes of BBC Radio Scotland, the Scotland on Sunday and The Herald, AmatrArt are eager to share their sound with a wider audience throughout 2016.

Mirror/Soft Skin is out 8th April 2016 via Bloc+ Music.

All through the winter we’ve held the past like a bible to keep us in place
But I’m not religious and we like adventure so forget all those laws we embraced

It is time to step off the carousel

It’s easy to live by the clock on the wall cause you do what you’ve done before
But soon you end up in a cycle of learning the things that you already know

It is time to step off the carousel

It’s not that I want to deny the patterns that helped us to stay in bloom
It’s just that it feels like we’re falling asleep when we should be uncovering the moon

It is time to step off the carousel

Long story but we found Charlee through our buddy Adrian Lux. We asked him who the girl was who had been singing on a few of his records and he pointed us in the direction of Charlee. This was about 1.5 years ago. We sent Charlee a couple demo ideas and it wasn't long before we got Inside Out and we fell head over heals for her. So Charlee is from Sweden is probably the coolest, most authentic dark soul we have ever met. She oozes these types of heavy vibey lyrics. Our only regret is taking so long to get this song out but our first attempt was halted due to a computer crash and project loss... but we think it bounced back even better. We have held this song really close though so we hope you enjoy it!

Note from us: COACHELLA SAHARA TENT SUNDAY BE THERE

Yo we just want to say thanks to you all for making this year so special already with the support on Don't Let Me Down and making Roses 2x Platinum. We are busting our asses right now finishing up some more music that we think will top anything we have done before. We are also working on some very very special shows for you guys from the festival experiences we are putting on to the Dreaming Brand we are launching at Red Rocks!

FUN REAL FACTS
1) Alex is scared of drains
2) Our manager adam alpert is single
3) Pigeons put off things they don’t want to do even if it causes problems later. 
4) Just like Dont Let Me Down the finished original project file of this was lost due to a computer crash... so go back up your stuff right fucking now!
5) It would take 1,200,000 mosquitoes, each sucking once, to completely drain the average human of blood.

The fact that “Smells Like Teen Spirit” can work in French with a disco & reggae influence is a testament to how great Kurt Cobain’s melodies were. We were playing this cover during our set at SXSW and people kept asking about it so we decided to record it. Here it is.
