FELICITY GROOM - Better Days

It is with great sadness that we announce the untimely passing of Treasured Nashville Outsider Dave Cloud after a short illness

Dave might not have invented 60s garage rock by some 20 years, but he totally re-invented it somewhere between Roky Erikson, Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits and The Turtles, rasping and wheezing through some of the looniest most lascivious care-free tunes you'll ever hum or bellow.    His lyrics were often improvised, one off streams of consciousness, playing off the undoubted talents of his long time backing band The Gospel Of Power, a ragtag group of talented locals gathered together from members of Lambchop and the Silver Jews.  
Dave was working on new album, the eerily titled “Today Is The Day That They Take Me Away” and it was shortly after his diagnosis that he, for the first time in his career, wrote both the words and music to what was planned as the first single, something Dave considered his best work.        "Damn Damn Damn Damn" chimes and reverberates as an unlikely but plaintively perfect pop song with a sassy twist and lip-curling swagger, that early Tom Petty or The Strokes would have been proud of...
“Damn Damn Damn Damn” is available to stream and download for free.  A fitting epitaph to an otherwise ill-fitting musical enigma.

Jane Weaver releases new 7” ‘The Lightning Back’
Out 6th April 2018

“She’s by some distance the best songwriter of the latter-day psych revivalists” Guardian

“A supernova talent” KEXP

Following an incredible year, Jane Weaver returns with indie store exclusive 7” ‘The Lightning Back’ on April 6th 2018. 

Widely considered the standout protonic pop song from Jane Weaver's unanimously revered Modern Kosmology, The Lightning Back sees the meteoric collision of micro-chip modulations and homespun harmonies courtesy of a self-sufficient artist who has in recent years become regarded as one of the countries finest in the field.  

This 3.5 minute pocket-pop implosion fuses subtle patch-bay arpeggios evoking the stylings of Wendy Carlos and (previous collaborator) Suzanne Ciani providing a deftly constructed framework for Weavers songwriting talents. Celebrating the intimacy and inhibition-free methodology found in her solo-power approach, The Lightning Back hears Jane's yearning lyricism rise through unique agile melodics seldom found in synthesised pop music.

This limited vinyl single also comprises a B-side in the form of a remix from London based art-noise-jazz-rock supergruppen Sex Swing.
Jane Weaver will be heading out on the road with her band across Europe from February 16th opening for Belle and Sebastian on a select number of tour dates. In the UK, she’ll also be touring with Public Service Broadcasting throughout April along with festival appearances at Greenman, Camp Bestival, Focus Wales and Halfway (Poland).

Paul Haslinger new track 'Intrinsic'
From new album 'Exit Ghost' out 7th Feb 2020

Pre-order: https://ArtificialInstinct.lnk.to/PHexitghost 

It’s a strange betweenworld, bookended by sleep and the jolt of being wide awake in a place where you wonder how you got there. You know the feeling… It seems familiar but the colours are, well, unreal. In a high-ceilinged room, a grand piano plays lush melodies as, meanwhile, somewhere, an Alice In Wonderland clock ticks, cellos are bowed, a swarm of something vibrates and the hallucinatory crowd around Rosemary’s Baby babble. An echoey electronic hum builds and falls like a 50s refrigerator passed through and effects board, things run backwards, staccato strings are plucked… and that’s not the half of it.

“I’ve never been happy staying in one particular school of musical thought. The fun has been turning things on their heads, to try something you were not supposed to do.”

We’re on an immersive and adventurous travelogue with the former member of the legendary Tangerine Dream, Paul Haslinger - this is a man who knows how to build tension, hold moods, illustrate contempt, lies, passion and pleasure; He can create fear, loathing and love -  he’s been unlocking the nuances of such emotions in a hugely successful career as a TV and film soundtrack composer (Halt And Catch Fire, Underworld and the Golden Globe-nominated Sleeper Cell).

‘Exit Ghost’ is his long thought out opus, a moment caught in time, flicking through reference points, taking an ethereal excursion that permeates musical genres as it becomes awash with intricate sounds and cross-pollinating rhythms. 

Built originally from the warmth of his grand piano ‘Exit Ghost’ resonates with purity and power, from an eerie and evocative betweenworld, that’s at once expansive and rolling, then intoxicating and suffocating in equal measures; modern composition at its most uplifting; cerebral, celebratory, intense and beautiful.

“The soul searching in connection with this record was extensive. Finding places of resonance, giving a colour to your memories. It was more challenging because it’s not somebody else’s narrative. Finding the core of your own story can be the most difficult task of all.”

Created over the span of eight years and filled with literal and personal references, the album itself is a testament to the search - a quest filled with hints, particles and suggestions. Paul Haslinger’s ‘Exit Ghost’ is the first release from new label Artificial Instinct, set for release on 7th February 2019 on die cut vinyl and CD.
