PRESS RELEASE
=============
Indietronica artist Rodney Cromwell from Catford releases his new single ‘Opus Three’ via Happy Robots on 3rd February. It’s a floor-filling synth-driven dance number about disconnected lovers trying to conjure optimism as the world stands the brink of apocalypse.

Conceived as a love-letter to a lost synthesizer, ‘Opus Three’ is at it’s heart the simplest of dance numbers; a full-fat 120bpm beat, layered with a chunky Moog Opus 3 synth line, is overlaid with percussion and the primitive buzzing tones of a 1960’s pocket stylophone. Inspired by the haunting and surreal novel ‘Ice’ by Anna Kavan, the song is about two lovers on the brink of apocalypse, separated by distance, lost in time, trying to find positivity in a world where there is little. “Don’t let it be, catastrophe” repeats the chorus, trying to conjure optimism from somewhere.

The B-side ‘Perception Management’ is an atmospheric dystopian synth instrumental that might be described as as ‘post-truth pop’. The maxi single includes an extended dance mix produced by Rich Bennett with remixes from Dublin synthpop artist Circuit 3 and Happy Robots’ latest signing folktronica act, Field Glass.

‘Opus Three’ is taken from the forthcoming ‘Memory Box' album. The LP is a mixture of synthpop, hauntology, dreampop and European coldwave and releases on 18th March.  Using analogue synths, drum machines with minimal computer sequencing the LP conjures an organic, dream-like world, inspired as much by Alice in Wonderland and Franz Kafka as by its sonic influences such as Kraftwerk, The Cure, Polyrock and Stereolab, creating a distinctive and compelling world.

​Rodney Cromwell's debut LP 'Age of Anxiety' (2015) and 'Rodney's English Disco' EP (2018) garnered Rodney Cromwell coverage in amongst others Electronic Sound, NME, Huffington Post, Paste, Record Collector, BBC6 Music and RNE3 in Spain, for whom he recorded a live session. The debut album featured in scores of Best of Lists including Electronic Sound and The Electricity Club who named him ‘Most Promising New Act’. He has played lives shows with acts like Pram, Death & Vanilla, M!R!M, Rowetta and Steve Davis. In 2020, he performed as part of Damo Suzuki of Can’s backing band.

‘Memory Box,’ the lead single from the album, premiered in Post-Punk.com and was voted by fans into the Dandelion Radio Official Festive 50.  It has received coverage across the globe including national radio play in Japan, Finland and Spain and multiple spins on BBC 6 Music in the UK.

My track talks about the hardships of going to sleep and staying insomnia and I made this sound when I was struggling with it so I made this song for those who deal with the same.

PRESS RELEASE
==============

The recent album by Roman Angelos "Music for Underwater Supermarkets" released in 2022 by Happy Robots, paints a sonic dreamscape where the mundane act of grocery shopping meets the future. “Music for Underwater Supermarkets” continues and extends Roman's obsession with library and soundtrack music of the past, fusing that aesthetic with childhood memories of being pushed around in shopping carts and visiting strip malls. Vibraphones chime alongside woodwinds and vintage synthesizers, creating an immersive sound that feels exotic and smooth.

This new single "The Aimless Aquanaut" picks up and develops one of the lush ambient breaks featured in "Music For Underwater Supermarkets". Roman Angelos’ extended version draws upon the influence of Steve Reich and kosmische music, bringing the listener into a state of suspended meditation. It is both meditative and reflective, and could as easily soundtrack one of the more contemplative moments in an episode of 'Stranger Things' as well as soundtrack your next visit to a spa retreat.
​
The Riptide and Rumble remix by producer/engineer Scott Solter is a preview of his upcoming full remix album of “Music For Underwater Supermarkets”. Solter weaves in darker ambience, with hints of early industrial, while still maintaining the aquatic feeling of the song, making for something soothing and spine-tingling. Solter’s full remix album “Supermarkets, Underwater” will be available in Spring 2023 on Happy Robots Records

PRESS RELEASE

We are thrilled that HOLOGRAM TEEN has returned to Happy Robots with her new single; a full six years and two albums since her last full release for the label.

Hologram Teen is the solo project (and anagram) of former STEREOLAB keyboardist Morgane Lhote.

Her colourful playful electronic instrumentals are heavily influenced by horror soundtracks, Italian disco and hip-hop.

Initially from Paris, Morgane moved to London when she was 20, spent nearly 20 years in New York city before moving to LA where she concentrated on her solo material. Her most recent album ‘Day-Glo Chaos’ released on Ransom Note Records was an unashamed nostalgic musical love letter to the 1980’s mixing cinematic strings, French Pop, video game soundtracks, a dash of drum and bass and vocoder vocals.

Her new single for Happy Robots is a double A-side.

A side “The Restless Cyclops” layered with synth strings, electric piano and bell sounds, is impossible to pigeonhole, it’s full spectrum pop-music that we can only describe as ‘restless disco’. And flip over the disc to the AA side ‘Hologram Twang!’ and Morgane introduces flourishes from another genre she loves; country music. Atmospheric washes combine with synth chimes and electronic slide-guitar. This could almost be the soundtrack to the opening of the pearly gates for another country legend, to be at eternal peace from perpetual heartache.

Rodney Cromwell returns just weeks after the release of his last single ‘The Winter Palace’ with a new song released for the Christmas season. ‘Cold Christmas’ was written for the annual ‘A Very Cherry Christmas’ compilation from Cherryade Records, and is released on its own right as a digital single on 9th December via Happy Robots.

This is no Cliff Richard Christmas hit though. A relentless krautrock beat propels a driving synth bass line, layered with Cromwell’s signature ARP synth strings and a thumping bass guitar. It is the most knowingly gothic song that Cromwell has released to date. 
  
As the UK descends into another round of austerity, the lyrics of ‘Cold Christmas’ are like ‘Eleanor Rigby’ turbo-charged for 2022. “Julie wanted a Xmas tree, until she fell into poverty, the house is cold and the lights are off, and now she’s getting a nasty cough”. 

‘Cold Christmas’ was recorded in Cromwell’s home studio in Catford, London and was produced by Dom Cresswell at Studio AUW in Kent.  

Since the release of his debut 'Age of Anxiety' album, Rodney Cromwell has been featured by the likes of NME, Electronic Sound, Huffington Post, Paste, Shindig!, Louder Than War, The Big Takeover, Magic RPM and the Bandcamp homepage. He’s had national radio play in Japan, Finland, Germany and multiple spins on RTE in Ireland, on BBC 6 Music in the UK and RNE3 in Spain for whom he recorded a live session.

The Rodney Cromwell live set is a joyful mixed-media extravaganza, incorporating analogue synths, video visuals and live instrumentation, interjected by Rodney’s 'offbeat wit'' (NME). His debut festival appearance at Indietracks was described as 'like a spiritual experience". He has shared stages with acts including A Flock of Seagulls, Pram, Death & Vanilla, Marsheaux, Rowetta, M!R!M, Damo Suzuki and Steve Davis. In 2022 he recorded a live session for Electronic Sound and in the autumn played a series of dates with Blancmange.

++++++++++++++

Following up on his LP “Music For Underwater Supermarkets”, Roman Angelos now presents “Supermarkets, Underwater,” a fully reimagined remix of the original album from producer/engineer Scott Solter. Solter flips the script,  taking the bouncy and upbeat material of the original album and creating a darker and more ambient landscape.  Weaving in noise and shifting electronic percussion, Solter creates an entirely new record. Listeners dive deeper into unknown waters, no longer shopping alongside the friendly fish. 

Lead track “Swimming Through The Aisles (Teeming Mix)” uses the same irregular time signature and feel of the original, but adds in tremoloed vibraphones, reverse guitars, and electronic drums, giving the music a new feel of exploration.

On "Abyssal Plain (Backmasking Mix)", Solter uses tape manipulation and loops, audio filters, and damaged devices to take one small section of the song and enlarge it into its own unique world.

Roman Angelos is the project of Brooklyn producer Rich Bennett. Roman was invented as a vehicle for Bennett to explore his obsession with library recordings of the 60's and 70s, muzak and exotica. Bennett has also been involved in a diverse group of musical projects, including the newly reunited outsider/60s proto-punk group The Shaggs, dream-pop band Mahogany, and Brazilian funk group Limoncello.

This is the  next piece in my Mississippi series depicting a typical lazy hot summer night here in the South.  With this piece I am using a new tuning for the first time.  I think it yielded some good things.  If you like please feel free to comment.
