Unreleased B-side from Caveman's self titled album

Empire

"Horseshoe" is the first single from Withered Hand's album "New Gods," and features a guest appearance from Pam Berry (Black Tambourine) on backing vocals.

Fortuna POP! (UK/Europe) and Slumberland Records (US/Canada) are proud to announce the new album by the Edinburgh based folk-rock troubadour Dan Willson who records as WITHERED HAND. “New Gods” is his stunning second album, following his critically acclaimed debut “Good News”.

Active in the world of visual art and dabbling in music for many years, Withered Hand’s Dan Willson came late to singing and songwriting at age 30, in a period of reflection between the death of a close friend and the birth of his first child. The resultant material, much of which went on to become the album “Good News,” has been praised for its depth and startling honesty.

Withered Hand has been embraced by Fife-based musical powerhouse the Fence Collective (whose sovereign King Creosote guests on the new album), seen his songs picked up on MTV and cult series Skins, and gained a legion of fans including Jarvis Cocker and Rolling Stone Magazine USA (who decreed him “Artist to Watch”).

A prolific live performer, recent Withered Hand shows have included collaborations with Pam Berry of seminal 90's US noise-pop band Black Tambourine and a rotating cast of musical friends embellishing Dan's exuberant and original songwriting alongside fragile and uplifting solo performances.

The long-awaited second album (produced by Tony Doogan – Mountain Goats/Belle & Sebastian etc - and part-funded by arts council body Creative Scotland) features guest appearances from the likes of Pam Berry, Eugene Kelly of The Vaselines and members of Belle & Sebastian and Frightened Rabbit.

The five years since “Good News” was recorded has seen Willson honing his songcraft, building his audience and gaining critical momentum. “New Gods” is a beautifully executed collection of songs from one of Scotland’s most gifted songwriters.

“Beautifully constructed lyrical frameworks ... on this banjo-tinged brand of Caledonian gospel” – **** MOJO

“the UK’s best lyricist” – King Creosote, in The Independent

“Killer melodies ... wobbly folk grooves ... tunes full of warm, woozy sing-song charm” – 'Artist to Watch', Rolling Stone

Withered Hand - Horseshoe

After spending two years living on opposite coasts and pursuing their own creative projects, Ivan Howard and Kelly Crisp returned last spring to set to work on the sixth full-length album from the Rosebuds. Joining up with Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon (a friend and former bandmate who, in a 2011 interview, noted that the Rosebuds make “some of the most important music in the world”), the North Carolina-bred duo spent a week in Vernon’s studio teasing out a batch of songs that effortlessly weave the hooky songcraft of classic jangle-pop, the cagey romanticism of new wave, and a refined yet full-hearted sensibility all their own. Featuring Vernon on guitar and synths—as well as Bon Iver drummer Matt McCaughan and Sylvan Esso's Nick Sanborn on bass, both longtime pals and cohorts of the Rosebuds—the resulting Sand + Silence radiates both a graceful intensity and the loose, joyful energy that comes from making music with friends.

 "Lisa Alma’s new single “Man” is a shivery piece of electro R&B." // Under the Radar

“It's got juicy plastic beats laying firm foundations for tinkled ivories galore and her '80s croon - it's as atmospheric as The XX , but as melodic as any Top 40 pop import. "Man" is a slick offering, bordering synthfunk and late-night disco; this is the kind of afterparty groove babymaking.fm (not a real station) needs to sandwich between Marvin Gaye and Barry White.” // The Line Of Best Fit

"“Man” comes off like a broody ’90s pop song (Think Sinead O'Connor and Annie Lennox ), but then it does so much more. Lisa Alma’s trance-inducing vocals weave between atmospheric palpitations and a supporting melody that sounds like everything you feel in a Spike Jonze movie. She brings you deeper and deeper into her melancholic electronica, and when you finally arrive at the apogee of all her musings, it’s like you’re looking up at a lightning storm from ten feet under water." // All Things Go

Drug Train - Finies Les Folies

Icelandic trio Fufanu have released the third single from their upcoming album, Sports, which Nick Zinner produced. "Liability" is a frantic flirtation between post-punk and synthpop that reminds listeners of their responsibility to speak out against the increasing evils of an endlessly chaotic society. It follows previous Sports singles "Sports" and "Bad Rockets"; the album arrives February 3 via One Little Indian. 

Pre-order the new album 'Sports' here: https://OLI.lnk.to/Sports-LPSo

Liability

(Lyrics)
      I feel the same again, my heart it goes into the wind. don’t know a thing you said, but i feel alright. same clothes, another day, try to dress another way for you, is this a parody i don’t feel alright. drive down the interstate, smoke in the engine flashing light , no car but thats okay, i could use a walk. now I’m a walking man, walking without a plan again, look out across the land, what a pretty sight.
 
these days won’t go, i feel like talkin slow, you talk too fast, no conversations last.
these days won’t go, i feel like getting close, then you’ll see, the light inside of me. 

the week it feels so long, lay down in someone else’s lawn, 20s the life for me, i don’t wanna work. don’t wanna get grey hair, don’t want an office chair no way, ill find another plan they can slap my hand, I’m on the run again, hang out with all my friends oh yeah, I’m not a walking man, now I’m on the run. running to you and them, all the ones who tried to hold my hand, don’t try to slow me down, will someone pick me up.
