Ambient Coup de coeur

chill out

you've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony
you've student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony
we spend our days locked in a room content inside a bubble
and in the night time we go out and scour the streets for trouble
hey hey marry me archie
during the summer take me sailing out on the atlantic
i won't set my sights on other seas there is no need to panic
so honey take me by the hand and we can sign some papers
forget the invitations floral arrangements and breadmakers
too late to go out too young to stay in
they're talking about us living in sin
hey hey marry me archie
a-r-c-h-i-e hey

Se trataron de evocar las secciones de instrumentos de la orquesta tradicional, agregando lo "electrófonos". Los sonidos fueron llevados a la máxima distorción, de allí el nombre de la obra.
Fue seleccionada para formar parte de los conciertos de MUSLAB 2015 de obras femeninas. El concierto fue el 16 de octubre de 2015 en Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico.

Lyrics - "Change (In the House of Flies)"

I've watched you change 
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
I watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So Alive
I've watched you change
I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed
I watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So alive
I've watched you change
It's like you never
Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh
I look at the cross
Then I look away
Give you the gun
Blow me away
I've watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So Alive
I've watched you change.
Now you feel Alive
You Feel Alive 
I've watched you change
It's like you never
Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh

White Star Line (Demo)

Lost Film began as the minimalist guitar pop project of Jim Hewitt in Easthampton, MA in 2014.  Having just moved away from Boston after spending several years playing under the moniker Orca Orca, Hewitt adjusted back to small town life by focusing on writing straight-forward, layered pop songs.  Mixed with an equal adoration of Sarah Records of the late 80's and Pacific Northwest bands of the early 2000's, Lost Film released their debut full-length Imago (The Native Sound) in 2015 followed quickly by the 4 song EP Temporary (The Native Sound) in 2016; both seeing praise from the likes of Noisey, DIY Mag, and GoldFlakePaint.

FatCat Records Demo

Lost Film - As You Were

Rainbrother is Bjarke Bendtsen’s (ex-The Migrant) new project with a group of musicians from the Copenhagen indie scene. The group released their first track earlier this summer, ‘East African Dream’, a tribal inspired track with chanting choir, a steady beat and slide guitar references to Pink Floyd.

The song is mixed by Noah Georgeson (Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, The Strokes) who has agreed to become midwife for Rainbrother’s first full length album.

Bendtsen ended The Migrant earlier this year in Austin, Texas at Austin’s Psych Fest, Levitation. Since the first Migrant album came out in 2010 he has been backed by musicans from Austin on his American tours and by fellow Danes when touring Europe.

The birth of Rainbrother marks an end of this era, settling down in Copenhagen and a move from indie folk to electric rock territory.

The electricity is present on the first Rainbrother live video for the song “Break Out”. The group will be releasing this song as a single later this autumn prior to the album release which will be out in February next year.

You can watch the live version of “Break Out” here: ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZwiyslCj6Q ​ and listen to “East African Dream” on ​https://soundcloud.com/rainbrother

Kill Your Boyfriend - Man4

Vákoum is an American duo formed in New York, 2013, by multi-instrumentalists and producers Kelli Rudick and Natalia Padilla. 

Israeli/American composer Kelli Rudick can be heard on the drums, mbira, vocals, guitar, live looping, and synth, while Mexican composer Natalia Padilla, is featured on guitar, synths, live looping, sampling and vocals.  

By merging the analog and digital world, the two create an intricate environment for their moving arrangements. Their sound is a dive into a warm sonic pool, meeting at that elusive, delicate intersection of complexity and raw, earnest heart.

Vàkoum - Still Ready

Twin Studies started out as the solo bedroom recording project of Jay Stanley in late 2012. 

The project grew to a four piece in 2013 after Stanley enlisted the help of other local musicians and friends to complete a live lineup, and released their debut EP, Precious Places, the following year. 

In 2015 the band released two songs, “Attic Room” and “Space Girl.”

After a complete change of musicians except for Stanley in 2016, Twin Studies is now releasing a new record. 

The band is specifically chasing much more involved guitar melodies while still maintaining a wall of sound and a driving rhythm. 

"Years and Years" is the best representation of the rest of the songs on the release since it combines and distills elements of all of them – floating pop riffs, droning guitars, and lush synths.

Put Your Gloves On

Bridal Shower - Put Your Gloves On

Based in Provo (Utah), Goldmyth is a virtuosic singer-songwriter making electro-pop music in an unusual way: with the harp.  

Indeed, Goldmyth is a classically trained harpist who decided to use the instrument to experiment with a variety of music styles. 

“One day, I realized I could merge my two passions and write songs for the harp” she shares.  “I’d lock myself in the practice room in the school of music and write songs.  Then, I started using a looping pedal to add vocal layers.”

Influenced by artists like Joni Mitchell, James Black and, most notably, Sufjan Stevens,  Goldmyth seamlessly blends glimmering harp chords with weighty synths and springy percussion.

Happy Couple are a 3 piece who have carried on from their previous and late band, Lunar Quiet.

Based in Brighton, they began to work on new material in late January 2017. 'Mass Policy' was the first song they wrote as a new band, so it seemed fitting to release as an introduction.

Mixed & Mastered by Rory Attwell

Since the birth of the label in 1997, FatCat has always had a solid engagement with material sent to us as demos. Where numerous labels will throw demos straight into the trash unopened, at FatCat we've always made an effort to listen and reply to every demo received. Numerous FatCat artists have been picked up having been discovered in this way (including Frightened Rabbit, The Twilight Sad, David Karsten Daniels, Welcome, Odonis Odonis, Get Back Guinozzi!, Silje Nes, Ensemble, Xinlisupreme, Songs Of Green Pheasant, Janek Schaefer - to name just a few), and it has always been really exciting to unexpectedly discover something great in this way. Just as when we started, this philosophy of keeping an ear to the ground and attempting to support good new creativity remains at the core of what we do.

With rapid changes in technology of recent years, the majority of demos are now sent to us electronically, but we are still happy to receive material through the post as CDs (please mark as 'demo submission' and mail FatCat Records, PO Box 3400, Brighton, BN1 4WG). Whilst we are still receiving a high quantity of demos, with our ever-busy release schedule and ongoing commitments to an expanding roster of signed artists, FatCat are now finding fewer opportunities to physically release material from new artists. As an antidote to this, back in 2004, we began using our website to showcase the best of the demos we were receiving. Alongside a DIY microsite built specifically to help people who wanted to release their own music, we hosted the our favourite demos online, with artwork and MP3s available for free download. In 2010 we began to use the more immediate freedom of SoundCloud as a platform - setting up a dropbox for people to submit tracks to and a player on the front of our site to showcase the best demo submissions. 

In February 2012, the new and improved FatCat demo site you are now using was launched, again using SoundCloud as the engine to drive the site. We have kept all of the the original demo artists on the new site - grouping them in collections archived by year. There is a lot of really great material stored away here, so please do spend some time looking around. 

The choices of who we have asked to join this archive are highly selective, and we make no apologies for this. These are tracks we consider to be really good quality material, tracks that we are happy to help promote and to have associated with FatCat. If you like what you hear here, then please do download the tracks and share this music with your friends.
