Accompanying the forthcoming album’ release is I Am Bunny (GOD127) – a three track EP of additional tracks from the studio sessions is due for release via streaming and retail services on Friday 28th Feb

Each of these additional tracks is a gem: ‘I Am Bunny’, written by Plummer with James Allsopp for their avant-trio: Snack Family emits reverberant guitars at cool tangents; the “Bunny” seems to be a psychological projection, a mythical creation of nature that only emerges after dark. The track demonstrates the importance of percussion in WSR, in terms of pace, atmosphere, casting discreet shade. 'Wicked Game' is a brilliantly judicious cover of Chris Isaak’s Marlboro country smash hit, with Plummer smashing the chorus to smithereens with his fretboard; a tribute to a distant soulmate. Finally, ‘No More F*ckers’, written and developed live with the current iteration of WSR, essentially tears the joint to pieces, fired up by a sentiment we can all get behind.

Research Group is an enigmatic electronic ambient drone outfit operating at the fringes of perception. Blurring the lines between sound and signal, their compositions emerge like intercepted transmissions—hypnotic waves of texture, submerged melodies, and mechanical whispers from an unknown source. Shrouded in mystery, Research Group crafts sonic landscapes that feel both ancient and futuristic, a soundtrack for forgotten experiments and lost broadcasts from the ether.

'Songs From The Harbour' is World Sanguine Report's third studio album of original avant-rock and experimental ballads.

Featuring a new iteration of WSR, 'Songs From The Harbour' was created in partnership with long-standing collaborators of Andrew Plummer: Matthew Bourne, Ruth Goller, and Will Glaser.

The most direct WSR album to date, 'Songs From The Harbour' is aptly named. It has a riverside redolence, both musically and lyrically. From the opening lullaby, which breaks like dawn over a dirty Thames, there’s a sense of sunlight breaking through the clouds and playing on polluted water, of bracing salty air contrasting with the stench of the quayside, a tussle of purity and toxicity, light and shade, romance and desolation.

“This is the album I’ve wanted to make for more than twenty years, though the timing never felt quite right until now.

With this iteration of WSR, I wanted to move away from the theatrical approach of earlier albums, focusing instead on creating music that both the band and audiences could connect with and experience in a more immediate way. Previous complexities were set aside to create space for interpretation, time-feel, and interaction – guided by and laying bare our words and voices. Together we developed music that is honest, full of vibe and intention – dynamic and fluid, nuanced and deliberate, ignited with a sense of yearning and wildness.

Aquatic themes frequently reoccured, as if everything was drawing us to the river and ocean. We auspiciously recorded the majority of the album aboard the Lightship 95 Studios on the Thames. The ship moved us, the ship moved with us. The Thames lapped at the boat, its tides washing in the Lightship’s echo chamber, housed in the hull of the ship, made its way into the recordings.

Water has a way to find its way into everything, it seeks its own level. This iteration of WSR is, without doubt, the most intoxicating creative partnership I’ve ever been part of.” – Andrew Plummer

Sombre and sublime, seedy and spiritual, Songs From The Harbour proceeds from a low place and rises, gull- like, to great, circling heights.

Title: Twin Sister
Format: LP / Digital
Cat no: GOD065
Release date: 17/04/2020
RIYL: Sunn O))) / Om / Boris / Yob / Noxagt

Slow, heavy, repetitiveness from Dead Neanderthals / Sex Swing / Mugstar members. Twin Sister are drone heavy and influenced by krautrock and doom bringing a slow burning blend of low tuned noise. 

Formed in the Netherlands in 2019 by Jason Stoll, Otto Kokke and Rene Aquarius the band headed to White Noise Studio in the winter of 2019 to record this their debut album. Taking a minimal approach where less is more repetition is the key here. Taking a simple riff and repeating the phrase over and over, creates a hypnotic texture that some resembles a trance like state.

TWIN SISTER - Drab

October 2020 brings the release of Splintered Metal Sky, the long-awaited new installment in the ever vast musical cannon of WHITE HILLS. The album takes the listener on a post-punk, psychedelic ride fueled by industrial-strength fuzz and propelled by powerful beats where songs weave in and out of each other to imitate the rhythm of the city the band calls home. Splintered Metal Sky is about oscillation and evolution. It’s metamodern music looking at human existence in relation to technology and the hyper-driven architectural reshaping of a city. The music was largely inspired by the drone and roar of machinery pulsing through New York City, which is in a never-ending state of demolition and reconstruction. Dave and Ego took to the streets, gathering field recordings of sounds from the subway, drills, jackhammers, people in parks, traffic, mayhem and the occasional silence. These recordings were then manipulated and constructed into rhythmic lines that were used as the basis for songs. The music, mixing noise with disciplined beat, embodies the paradoxical nature of the city: the grimy littered dead end alley just steps away from the sleek luxury skyscraper; the half eaten chicken bone being devoured by a rat on the subway tracks just beneath the glittering facade of the Chrysler building; the endless milling about of the 8 million people who call this slab of land home on their way to and from everywhere and nowhere. Informed by industrial innovators Einstürzende Neubauten and SPK, the avant garde post-punk of Tuxedomoon and the dub-electro of Cabaret Voltaire, the album vibrates with the energy of a sensually feral, raw beast. 

The band recorded and mixed Splintered Metal Sky at Studio G in Brooklyn with producer/engineer Jeff Berner (Psychic TV). WHITE HILLS previously worked with Jeff for the Valley King Records release of the single Putting On The Pressure. The album features numerous guest appearances. The idea to recruit collaborators came after a meeting between Ego and fellow Only Lovers Left Alive alumni, Lebanese singer, Yasmine Hamdan, while she was in NYC recording with former Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley. The band asked her to add vocals to a song and she jumped at the opportunity, which led to a stunning vocal performance on the track Rats. Energized by the collaboration, Dave & Ego decided to approach other cohorts to join in. This led to guest appearances by filmmaker and musician Jim Jarmusch (ambient guitar on c:CoNSTRUCT & Illusion), Simone Marie Butler of Primal Scream (vocals on Honesty) and former Cop Shoot Cop and current member of Human Impact Jim Coleman (synth on Numbers & c:CoNSTRUCT). Each person added their own flavor and perspective, pushing the songs to places not before imagined by the duo. Running with the idea of collaboration, Dave decided to work with someone on the cover concept. In came longtime friend of Dave’s Johnny Brewton, who has quite a resume of his own in the art world, having worked with and for Mark Motherbaugh at Mutato Muzika, Tom Waits, Hunter S. Thompson and Charles Bukowski to name a few. He is the man behind XRay Book Co, who produce art publications like XRay Magazine, and Bagazine. Upon the two discussing the concept of Splintered Metal Sky, Johnny went to work cutting up images and constructing the concept visually through the medium of collage.
