Channel Riddim Clips Sekkle feat. Zacheous Jackson

Bedroom pop prodigy Andrew Collberg expands with a looser, live sound on this new 7inch single. Collberg wrote the songs in the midst of lengthy travels but looked to improvisational collaboration when it came time to bring them to life. 

Taken from Collberg’s forthcoming LP, “Dirty Wind” and “Back on the Shore” come from a pile of songs written while traveling Western America and Central Europe. 

These are songs that do not belong in the hands of one man, but in a room where they’re able to breathe among many. Engineer Jim Waters (Sonic Youth, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, etc.) helped to create a vastness that reflects the true nature of these songs. Relying on Collberg’s natural talent, almost nothing on the record is planned out; it’s just five people in a room, a man behind the glass and some incredible songs. 

Both sides are songs that explore the nature of travel, yearning and questions of identity. “Dirty Wind” is blues-based rock, a march of guitar riffs that set up Collberg’s catchy vocals. “Back on the Shore” is a slower, pensive showcase for Collberg’s melodic pop and masterful arrangements. 

Born in Sweden, Collberg picked up the drums as a young child in New Zealand, but it wasn’t until moving to Tucson that his musical horizons began expanding. He began making home recordings at 14 and made his solo stage premier at 16. 

Collberg has been recording and crafting pop songs in his bedrooms for over a decade now, with multiple releases to show for it. After making his international debut with last years On The Wreath (le Pop Musik), Collberg decided to step out of the bedroom, recruiting some of Tucson’s brightest musicians to realize his vision. 

“Dirty Wind” / “Back on the Shore” is Collberg’s first 7inch and debut on Fort Lowell Records. 



Previous Press Accolades for Andrew Collberg

“Andrew Collberg has released his second album, and it's a subtle killer, brainy and sophisticated, but never pretentious. - This is a terrific album in which you can immerse yourself, soaking up the melodies and Collberg's earnest upbeat sentiments.” - Tucson Weekly

“For all the promise he showed on that self-titled album he dropped in 2006 - and we're talking some serious promise here -- there's not an expectation Andrew Collberg falls short of exceeding on his latest effort, On the Wreath.” - Blurt

DD010: Amateur Best - Be Happy // The Wave 7" 
Limited to 300 copies worldwide 
Release Date: February 13th 2012 
Pre-order 
http://doubledenimrecords.bigcartel.com

Amateur Best is a new creation from London's Joe Flory (formerly Primary 1). Through soft, lilting pop songs Flory tells the story of James Best, a sometime London DJ, latent alcoholic and lifelong amateur. Best's hijinx are also chronicled in an accompanying comic book following our hero through the murder and mayhem that is pre-Olimpik London, as James' fate becomes inexorably entwined with that of the city he lives in.

Double Denim are hugely excited to announce the physical release of a 7" single on February 13th and also an accompanying comic book to complete the story. On the A-side on the single is 'Be Happy' a bittersweet song carried along by languid electronics and an anxious but soulful vocal that looks into the mirror and can't seem to find anything familiar. With an even darker complexion is 'The Wave' a song that makes up the B-side of the record.

Music by Chazbo.
Produced by RootsArna for Salomon Heritage.

Raw Sekkle Dub - Salomon Heritage SH006

Engineered by Bob Blank
Produced & mixed by Arthur Russell

Steven Hall: guitar/keyboard/vocals
Arthur Russell: drum programming/cello/vocals

Recorded in 1985
Released in 2013 by Hollie Records

Produced & mixed by Arthur Russell (he also plays on them) and engineered by Bob Blank in 1985, these three songs were found in Arthur’s archive, and digitally transferred by Audika Records. They were made for Steven Hall solo project for Rough Trade but never released.

Here is the story of these lost tracks by Bob Blank

“After I moved my production and engineering work from my recently sold Blank Tapes to my old farmhouse in Stamford, Connecticut, some of my first guests were Arthur Russell and Steven Hall, who continued their musical journey by bringing their music to my converted home.

It was strange to see these denizens of the city in my bucolic setting – the music always had a folkie, country feel to it, but was always edged with the city feelings. I picked them up and dropped them off at the small train station about a mile from the house, and recorded onto either my old Studer A80 24 track analog machine or later into the then state of the art Alesis digital machines. The studios all had windows in them, overlooking the nearby woods and wetlands.

Arthur was, as usual, the ringleader who set the mood, always either encouraging or playing. Steven got into ‘the zone’ with sometimes closed eyes and a gentle way with the music; Arthur was the collector of takes and many times after the sessions with Steven I would hear the music go through many permutations as Arthur added ideas and what are now called ‘beats’ to the song fragments and parts laid down. Never satisfied, Arthur would continually run a DAT tape as he worked, capturing hours of attempts to mold the music. Steven was a muse sometimes for Arthur as well, as Steven gave substance to the energy that Arthur put into the music.

Steven came with fully formed musical ideas and songs, and easily performed them in the glassed in booth. Mellow but focused, the music came out in whole pieces.

My role was always to make the flow happen, with the technology, and the place was dominated by the custom built console I had built from Yamaha digital mixers and monitoring from UREI 813 speakers I had sitting on stands in the attic of my old home. As an engineer, you try to fade into the background and let the musical events take the forefront, but I was always able to add my ideas and feelings to the day, as my sounds, mixes, and comments shaped how everyone heard what they were creating. Arthur and Steven always welcomed my input, even tho from time to time it was tinged with attitude, and I would be satisfied with the result while Arthur would push past that and ask for more. Ultimately Steven and Arthur’s vision would prevail of course and there were many magic moments.”
