After meeting at SXSW in 2011 Juice and David kept in contact about possibly working together, but getting together is difficult for artists who are busy with their own projects, particularly if one is based in the Far East. Finally in 2013, during a couple of short trips back, David gathered the group in his home town of Otley to spend a few hours recording. 

The album spans the hymnal to human beatbox, discord to angelic harmony, with lyrical themes displaying the weaknesses of men, via rural imagery and sombre love songs, to the decline of northern industry and pub brawls. David had some basic ideas; Juice had no idea what they would be faced with. After some short discussion and a little practise the part-improvised tracks were recorded live in one take and kept sparse, underpinned by David's gentle and often imprecise guitar playing as the accompaniment to four voices.

David Thomas Broughton occupies a contentious position, divides opinion, unsettles, is self-consciously clumsy, hilarious, beautiful but above all memorable.  Walls of noise and layers of beauty interweave and delight at every turn. Many people use loops these days. Broughton includes the glitches, mistakes, and the resulting comedy in his act, works with what he has, and moves on. Broughton writes songs of beauty, with classic themes of love, pain, hurt, suicide, depression, teenage angst etc… It’s just they come out with a comedic twist and are rarely reproduced in a live setting as they are heard on record.

“If you have a heart, Outbreeding (2011) will put it through the gauntlet. If you have a brain, Outbreeding will make you use it. It’s a perfectly weighted exhibition of its creator’s talents and capacity, both fulfilled. 9/10” - Drowned in Sound
“arguably the most staggering live musician in the country.” - Mojo

Juice Vocal Ensemble are an experimental vocal trio who explore new a cappella music that defies genre. They’ll do anything from ethereal, stratospheric classical sounds to spooky bluegrass, beatboxing to hollering. They have performed fiendish avant-garde pieces by the likes of John Zorn, Meredith Monk and Morton Feldman, but also turn their hand to inventive covers of Guns ‘n’ Roses, Kraftwerk and Rihanna.
They have commissioned and performed work by composers including Gavin Bryars, Shlomo, Mica Levi (aka Micachu from Micachu and The Shapes), Anna Meredith and award-winning folk artist Jim Moray.

“The 21st century’s answer to the Swingles or the King’s Singers” - The Times
“astonishing variety, spark and brilliance – proof that the sap is still rising in classical music”- The Observer
“immense - delivered with perfect pitch and an ear for the most apt harmony” - The Independent

Do I?

This is a 6-minute excerpt of the continuous 40-minute piece.

Adam Stafford is an experimental pop master. After last year's Taser Revelations embraced the 'pop' end of that spectrum, he's back at the 'experimental' end for his latest project. REVERSE DRIFT is the kind of multimedia experiment he was always meant to make: a 48-page photobook paired with a 40-minute recording.

The beautiful photobook features 24 landscape photographs by Adam, taken over a period of 18 years, 1999-2017. 

The single composition in three movements was recorded live and semi-improvised in one take with no overdubs and was created only with a synthesizer, a sequencer, some effects pedals and Adam's voice.

Released on Gerry Loves Records on 30th June 2017.

Reverse Drift: when too much ice thaws and breaks next to an ocean or river it makes the water run backwards.

Adam Stafford is a musician and filmmaker from Falkirk. Formerly of the group Y'all is Fantasy Island, he issued two experimental a capella albums, "Awnings" and "Miniature Porcelain Horse Emporium" in 2009 before releasing his debut studio set "Build a Harbour Immediately" in 2011. He followed with two more experimental pop albums on Song, by Toad Records, an experimental improv cassette EP and a pop banger single on Gerry Loves Records, and also composed and performed original music for Alan Bissett's one-man show 'What The Falkirk'.

His film work include short "The Shutdown" (2009) written by Scottish author and playwright Alan Bissett, the video for The Twilight Sad's single "Seven Years of Letters" (2010), 
and "No Hope For Men Below" (2013), a poetic reinterpretation of The Redding Pit Disaster of Falkirk 1923, written in Broad Scots by local poet and author Janet Paisley. He is currently trying to write a horror film set in 1993, about a maintenance train driver who infiltrates a Norse Black Metal cult in the rural North of Scotland.

Recent praise for Adam Stafford:
“Probably the closest Stafford has come to the US minimalism of Steve Reich. That songs can stimulate the head one minute and break the heart the next would be a triumph for any musician. Yet again, Adam Stafford has created one of the best albums of the year (in `Taser Revelations’).” – The National

"Adam Stafford’s set was stunning, a wash of looped guitar, effects pedal and vocal soundtrack atmospherics." – The Scotsman (4/5)

“A songwriter of real depth, rich in understanding, in melodic virtuosity, his work has gradually built up into an imposing, heroic catalogue.” – Clash Magazine

“Adam Stafford is one hell of a force and quite possibly one of the best live artists of our times." - God is in The TV

Everyone Has A Price

Put Your Collar Up is the first single taken from Magic Arm's second album, 'Images Rolling' out 3rd June 2013.

Moving away from the more electronic sound of his debut LP, ‘Images Rolling’ has taken on the natural reverbs of the vast part-derelict three-storey house, coming over as an altogether warmer and more comforting entity. Take infectious opener ‘Put Your Collar Up’; classical sounds are thrown off centre by detuned pianos and woozy synths that move with hip hop bounce. Elsewhere ‘Warning Sign’ recalls the ambience of Mercury Rev’s weirdly magical off-kilter daydreams whilst ‘Lanes’ sweeping strings and the merry-go-round waltz of ‘Great Life’ give light to Rigelsford’s new method of exploration in writing songs on a piano rather than a guitar for the very first time. From entry point to its end ‘Images Rolling’ is a restless, fearlessly ambitious, yet understated and articulate piece of work. No-one could ever accuse Rigelsford of making music that fits into any pigeon-shaped holes, but with this record he’s certainly found a musical home.

At Gerry Loves Records we love the intimate feel you get of an artist and their music through vinyl pressings.
