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.

Killers of the Early Morning

Killers Of The Early Morning

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
Rodney Cromwell is the nom-de-plume of Adam Cresswell, founding member of indie-folktronica band SALOON (who had four entries in John Peel’s Festive 50 & recorded three Peel Sessions) and one half of acclaimed electronic two piece ARTHUR & MARTHA.
 
Although Phil Collins and his infamous split with his second wife inspired its title, there is none of the bombast of Collins’ work in Cromwell’s lo-fi disco lament.  In a miserable year that has seen the passing of loved musical artists, disruption and political upheavals, the melancholia of ‘Fax Message Breakup’ is very much of the zeitgeist; a paean to despair and defeat with an incessant disco beat.  With the inherent nihilism of its chorus “I can’t do this anymore, I don’t know what it’s for” it is perhaps the perfect soundtrack for 2016.
 
The 5 track EP features four exclusive remixes. ‘Fax Message Breakup’ is remixed by HOLOGRAM TEEN (ex-STEREOLAB synth-wizardess Morgane Lhote) who brings her glitchy motorik disco sound to the party and by regular collaborator AUW, who stretches the title track into something akin to a dark Depeche Mode synth epic.  CHRIS FRAIN from Colorado remixes ‘Baby Robot’ in a 1970s space disco vein - file between Meco’s ‘Star Wars Theme’ and Space’s ‘Magic Fly’.  And London’s THE LEAF LIBRARY close the EP with a beautifully restrained remix of ‘Cassiopeia’ that sounds like Brian Eno collaborating with Galaxie 500. 

ON ‘AGE OF ANXIETY’

The original version of ‘Fax Message Breakup’ is taken from the 2015 debut album ‘Age of Anxiety’ which was a surprising left-field critical hit featuring in over 30 ‘Best of 2015’ charts including Electronic Sound Magazine and The Electricity Club, who also named him ‘Most Promising New Act’. The track ‘Barry Was An Arms Dealer’ featured in the fan voted 2015 Official Festive 50.

"Sounds like liquid gold. Age of Anxiety has renewed my faith in the digital age of electro pop" - MALCOLM HOLMES, OMD
 
"Rodney Cromwell's music belongs to the future" - NME
 
"A must for those who like their synthpop lo-fi but with tunes" - THE ELECTRICITY CLUB
 
"Adam Cresswell has always made quality but quirky pop....an askew view of the world and its woes, but with enough gallows humour and blissful tunes to leave you feeling optimistic about the future" - SOUNDS XP
 
“A reminder of good pop tunes from a magical era” - LOUDER THAN WAR
 
"This is really just the best album of 2015" - DE KETTINGZAAG

‘Fax Message Breakup’ features Alice Hubley (Arthur & Martha, Cosines) on additional synth and Richard Salt (Controllers) on guitar. The video is produced by Dariy Karyakin.

‘Fax Message Breakup’ EP will be available for digital download on November 11, 2016. The album 'Age of Anxiety' is out now on CD and digitally. Both are released by Happy Robots Records and distributed by Cargo Records.
