Some Things You Don't Know About Me

Goddamn

Listen to "Killers of the Early Morning" here: https://band.link/bethannmcdowellkotem

Over the course of several months last summer, Beth Ann McDowell made a conscious decision to return to her roots in complex, rich lyrics, and giving more depth to her songwriting as she began to work on her album, “The Sim Is Real.”  The single is produced by R. Walt Vincent who has worked with some of indie’s greatest: Liz Phair, Pete Yorn, and Scarlett Johansson to name a few.  In tune with that came the natural gravitation toward recording an album in an organic way, with session musicians in a recording that captured the spirit of the moment all at once. Her first single off of the album, “Killers Of The Early Morning”, captures the sort of eerie dream-like vibe that permeates through the entire record.  With unquestionably dark lyrics, the song recollects the common experience most of us have lived: giving all that we have to give, and it is still not enough.

Lyrics

Come one, come all
Take a glimpse, tag along
Follow the light that is shining in
And I'll be your guide
Deliver truths I'd rather hide
With innocent warmth of a messenger
And if you get lost
No matter the cost
Follow the light to the entryway
Drop in now and then
If you could use a friend
I know I can spare the energy

Away...
Away from home
Your comfort zone
Look toward the light that is shining in
If you need a guide
Spilling truths they'd rather hide
Step out of harm's way with this messenger
And if you get lost
No matter the cost
Follow the light to the entryway
Drop in now and then
If you could use a friend
I know I can spare the energy

---PRESS RELEASE ---

In celebration of 10 years since the release of his acclaimed debut album ‘Age of Anxiety’ Rodney Cromwell drops a glowed-up version of a personal favourite from the album, minimal synth bop ‘One Two Seven’.

For fans of Kraftwerk, Space (French Band), Giorgio Moroder, New Order, Legoweldt, Plone, retro minimal synth

‘One Two Seven; is an unapologetic paean to vintage synth disco; 127 being the classic BPM for the original disco music of the 1970s. The new redux mix, cranks up the Moroder-esque arpeggios and disco handclaps; while retaining influences of the early 80’s electronica, notably the octave jump bassline from floor-fillers like ‘Blue Monday’. The song closes with analogue moog synth-solos from Happy Robots label-mate Alice Hubble. 

On its release in March 2015, Rodney Cromwell’s ‘Age of Anxiety’ looked like it was going to slip under the radar. But after it was picked up by Gideon Coe and Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music and then the NME, the album started to find significant momentum with bloggers, radio stations and fans of synth-music who appreciated his caustic lyrics and authentic lo-fi sound. By the end of 2015 the album featured in 15 Best of Lists, twice taking the no1 slot and featuring in the celebrated Electronic Sound Magazine ‘Top 30 Albums of 2015’. 

Since the release of 'Age of Anxiety,' Cromwell has also been featured by the likes of Huffington Post, Paste, Record Collector, Shindig!, Louder Than War, Big Takeover, Magic RPM and the Bandcamp homepage with national radio play across the globe, not least with further spins on BBC 6 Music, RNE3 in Spain and RTE in Ireland. His most recent album ‘Memory Box’ also featured in the Electronic Sound Magazine albums of the year list. 

The Rodney Cromwell live set is a joyful mixed-media extravaganza, incorporating battered synths, video visuals and live instrumentation, interjected by Rodney’s ‘offbeat wit’ (NME). His debut festival appearance was described as ‘like a spiritual experience’. Bands he has played with include A Flock of Seagulls, Pram, Death & Vanilla, M!R!M, Damo Suzuki, Steve Davis and Blancmange.  He has recorded live sessions for Electronic Sound and RNE3.

With his band, Cromwell will be celebrating with shows in London and Manchester in June:

20th June, The Castle, 44 Commercial Rd, Aldgate, London E1 1LN
21st June, Retro Bar, 78 Sackville Street, Manchester, M1 3NJ
