Open Reel Ensemble uses vintage reel-to-reel tape recorders as instruments by combining them with the latest technology and other unusual finds. They continue to explore new possibilities granted by reel-to-reel tape recorders by modifying their shapes and configurations. Open Reel Ensemble’s music is undoubtedly unique, but it is the spectacle – the cobbled creations and the physical performances – that makes each concert truly fascinating.

Sour Times

Almost fifteen years since the release of her self-titled debut LP on Mr Bongo, reggae’s orator of love Hollie Cook is returning to the label for Shy Girl, her fifth studio album and her most authentic yet. Woven with tight grooves, beautiful vocals and catchy melodies, Shy Girl hears singer and songwriter Hollie Cook revel in her contemporary lovers rock sound, more confident and open to vulnerability than ever before.
 
A sun-drenched exploration of love in all its guises, Shy Girl tells stories of the magical and the melancholy, the heart-lifting and heart-breaking, across 12 luscious, analogue reggae compositions - the culmination of a soft-hued and instantly recognisable “tropical pop” sound that Cook has made her own.
 
Put together across three years and four cities – from LA and NYC, to Vejer de la Frontera in Spain and Cook’s hometown London – Shy Girl was written with long-time collaborators, The General Roots Band, and features a contribution from legendary dub MC Horseman, who lends his voice to the album’s first single ‘Night Night’.
 
The album opens with the title track ‘Shy Girl’, a buoyant and elastic slice of lovers rock that was written in a moment of spontaneous intuition, and bubbles with a charisma and positivity that Cook radiates. “I’m not a natural show-off,” Cook explains. “The Shy Girl theme is me. It’s just about being my most vulnerable self and being as true to the music that Iove as possible.” It is this honesty which shines throughout, from the chugging deep dub of ‘Frontline’, complete with raking electric guitar lines, to the bittersweet roots ballad ‘We Share Love’, which closes out the album.

It's clear to see that Cook’s songwriting draws on a lifetime of musical influences and inspirations. From her father, Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook’s record collection and touring with post-punk icon Ari Up’s The Slits, to her love for strong female-led pop music and the bassweight of London’s sound system culture. Enamoured with the music of Janet Kay and Phyllis Dillon, Shy Girl represents a homecoming and a coming-of-age for Hollie Cook, distilling and refining a shimmering reggae sound that will capture your heart, as it first captured hers.

LATE GINGER

Boron

Originally comissioned and aired by FM4 radio, Vienna, Austria, July 15th, 2015.

When in the mid 1980s Bristol´s The Wild Bunch sound system did their first block parties no one would have thought that its DJs Nellee Hooper, DJ Milo and rappers 3D, Mushroom, Daddy G and Tricky would lay the foundation for one of the most successful British dance outfits, later named Massive Attack.  

Forged in the fires of dozens of sound systems battles, The Wild Bunch cultivated the musical collision between British post punk, dub and American rap.  As a multi ethnic crew they realized a social and sonic utopia in their sound system and everyday life.

Just in time of the explosion of UK dance culture in the late 1980s they released their debut album "Blue Lines", opposing the mass of  anonymous white label releases but in contrast forming a highly visible collective that did not correspond to the classical form of the band, but negated the power of the frontman and offered space for the complex identities of the fixed members and the numerous guest vocalists such as reggae legend Horace Andy or Sharah Nelson.

"Blue Lines" was also released at a pivotal moment in pop music history, when the technique of music samlping created new forms of artistic expression. Massive Attack accepted a new version of the song format, which came partly from the Jamaican sound system culture. Songs like "Be Thankful For What You Got" and "Unfinished Sympathy" are classic soul songs that the audience of mixtapes or the recordings of their parents knew, and which, in contrast to the rap parts, were able to tension great emotional arcs.

Until today, "Blue Lines" is considered one of the most important albums in dance music history.
