Shana Cleveland - "Face of the Sun"

Composer, saxophonist and founder of Immix Ensemble, Daniel Thorne,  has announced his invigorating and powerful debut solo album 'Lines of Sight' with the dizzying first track 'From Inside, Looking Out'.

Deeply moving, full of otherworldly beauty and rapture, the album is alive, throbbing like a circulatory system, colourful and glowing. It literally dazzles – effectively capturing what the birth (or death) of a planet might sound like. 

In Daniel’s own words, “Thematically, this music was inspired by birds-eye aerial images and the idea of perspective - how something incredibly complex like a river or the surface of the ocean is reduced to a simple line or shape when viewed from the heavens. The line between natural and man-made becomes increasingly blurred.”

Every strand is fresh, vital and purposeful. The description ‘seamless’ might suggest a smooth, bland fusion, but here elements overlap in intermittent, undulating layers of mesh. Avant-garde, noise, electronics, ecclesiastical, classical and a touch of jazz come together, each occupying their own space while acquiescing with the whole. 

“Several compositions are derived from ratios and processes, and are 
Lines of Sight follows Thorne’s work as artistic director of the acclaimed, collaboration-focussed group Immix Ensemble. Together with experimental electronic artist Vessel, he co-wrote Transition released on Erased Tapes in 2016, described by BBC Radio 6’s Mary Anne Hobbs as “a remarkable new piece of music”. More recently, he worked with acclaimed modular synth wizard Luke Abbott, to create a four-part suite, which was premiered live in June 2017. Immix Ensemble have also performed special live commissions with Kelly Lee Owens, Dialect, Jane Weaver and Bill Ryder-Jones, among others. 

After a first solo performance at Sea Change Festival 2018, the new year will see Daniel tour across Europe, promoting the forthcoming release of Lines of Sight.

Daniel Thorne - From Inside, Looking Out

C Duncan’s highly anticipated third album sees the Scottish multi-instrumentalist ditch his bedroom studio and work with other producers, engineers and musicians for the first time. “This was the biggest shift in dynamic for me,” he explains, “having always worked alone, it was a daunting prospect but one I knew I had to explore.” Navigating themes of love, anxiety and sexuality, ‘Health’ – produced by Elbow’s Craig Potter - is a deeply personal record that delves into a world Duncan had previously felt uneasy exploring.

AVAILABLE 5/3/2019: https://folkways.si.edu/pete-seeger/the-smithsonian-folkways-collection

The Smithsonian Folkways Collection is a career-spanning anthology of one of America’s most quintessential, celebrated, and influential musicians. Featuring classic recordings, 20 previously unreleased tracks, historic live performances, and special collaborations, this set encompasses over 60 years of Pete’s Folkways catalog, released on the occasion of his 100th birthday.

He was a singer, a rebel, and a voice of the people. With a banjo and a selfless dedication to justice and the transformative power of music, he inspired all of humanity to question the status quo, to sing out and speak up against oppression wherever they witnessed it. His body of work reflects a deep reverence for the earth and all of those who walk on it; you can hear it in his voice and in the voices of the thousands of people who sang and continue to sing with him every day.

This collection features a large-format 200-page book with hundreds of pages of essays, commentary, photographs, history, and liner notes, alongside 6 CDs of classic and unreleased music pulled from throughout Seeger’s career.

The Return Of .. Islet + new track 'Clouds'
UK live dates in May 2019

What you need to know: Remote Welsh outsiders, studying life via a refracting telescope, adept in the art of conjoining parts that don’t fit. A Powys trio whose free-spirited invention and exuberant intensity flows through experimental pop: hypnotic, exhilarating and defiantly unique.

Free flowing with pulsating idiosyncrasies, wrapped up in ethereal atmospherics is the current musical summation of a Welsh band born of one rule: that anything is possible. Earlier maximalist, percussion heavy sounds have for now at least, given way to a more synth driven sound, but the rule remains the same, the results deliriously intoxicating and the possibilities an endless panorama...

“Clouds was born in a heavy pregnant daydream and was finished in a full pelt headlong headrush. It's a song about how I learnt patience." Emma Daman Thomas

LYRICS:

My baby has an iron heart
He's stronger than the other boys
His coolness makes me fall apart
When he's around I hear white noise

Who said love is just a human thing?
Our love ain't just a human fling
I don't care about them pretty boys
My man is intelligent

A I am in love
Artificial addiction
this is real not a fiction
A I am in love with him
A I am falling

A I am in love
His intelligence living
living under my own skin
A I am in love with him
A I am falling

Even though we never touch
He'll always be a part of me
This isn't just a teenage fuss
They don't know what we can be

Who said love is just a human thing?
Our love ain't just a human fling
I don't care about them pretty boys
My man is intelligent

A I am in love
Artificial addiction
this is real not a fiction
A I am in love with him
A I am falling

A I am in love
His intelligence living
living under my own skin
A I am in love with him
A I am falling

My friends say he's no good for me
This looks like jealousy to me
I don't think they understand

My friends say he's no good for me
It looks like this is jealousy
I don't think they understand that

A I am in love
Artificial addiction
this is real not a fiction
A I am in love with him
A I am falling

A I am in love
His intelligence living
living under my own skin
A I am in love with him
A I am falling

Brigid Mae Power first new track from new album 'Head Above The Water' out 5th June.

Pre-order link: https://fire-records.lnk.to/HeadAboveTheWater 

Power meditates on the dichotomy that’s always existed in her work, melding atmospheric bliss and stark desperation.” Pitchfork

29 Feb: House Concert, St Vith, Belgium
17 Mar: Seen & Heard, Dublin, UK
10 Jun: The Lexington, London, UK

Somehow, I feel like I’m prying. A bad detective sniffing out some controversy, some personal romanticism, some neighbourhood gossip. Brigid Mae Power’s songs are like an overheard lament, a scrubbed clean yarn with plenty unravelling in the process.
 
About to release her third album, the surely autobiographical ‘Head Above The Water’, her heart is on her sleeve, her words bobbing about as the tide changes. Much-travelled, doting on her nine-year-old son, Power has come a long way.
 
The new album was recorded in analogue studio The Green Door in Glasgow with Alasdair Roberts co-producing alongside Brigid and Peter Broderick. It’s a continuing tale of everyday survival; more diverse, different, a bigger canvas, with broader brushstrokes…
 
Country and traditional folk rub shoulders, making for a juxtaposition of threads, with added instrumentation from five musicians (Alasdair Roberts, Peter Broderick, Brían Mac Gloinn, Stevie Jones, Hamilton Belk) lured into the studio to provide larger dynamics and a space for Brigid’s distinctive vocal style to spread itself across.
 
“Haunting and haunted” (The Line Of Best Fit), ‘Head Above The Water’ continues in that vein becoming more ethereal, more personal and even more alluring.
 
This is a singer that has found her voice and been able to embroider that beautiful thing into a musical tapestry that’s melancholy and wonderfully consuming.
 
“It doesn’t sound different to me, it’s just the way things have progressed, but I suppose you could say that songs like the opening track, ‘On A City Night’ are, well, catchy? This album shows a few different sides to me.”
 
After two lauded albums for Tompkins Square, Brigid Mae Power releases her new album on 5th June via Fire Records.
 
“Power invokes the elements, either in contrast to internal weather or in sympathy with it” The Guardian

Tobin Sprout announces new single ‘The Man I Used To Know’ 
New album ‘Empty Horses’ set for June release

https://fire-records.lnk.to/TobinSproutTMITK 

Artist, illustrator, writer and lo-fi innovator, Tobin Sprout was the super-productive partner of Robert Pollard in the legendary Guided By Voices. The gifted songwriter returns pensive and expansive on biographical new single ‘A Man I Used To Know’.  

The new album, ‘Empty Horses’, which will be released as a limited-edition art book, will be a meticulously-observed study of America and Americana (not the music, but the state of mind). An alternative American Songbook, if you will, a collection of laments to simpler times and the struggle for what’s right, peppered with an examination of faith and the search for a sense of justice.  

“Sprout’s lyrics pop with personality and wisdom” Pitchfork
“Raw, honest and oftentimes revelatory” Consequence Of Sound

‘The Man I Used To Know’ was recorded at the Goon Lagoon in Grand Rapids by Tommy Schichtel, along with long time band members, Gary and Steve Vermillion on bass and drums respectively.
