DEEWEE045 ‘Bear With Me (and I'll stand bare before you)’ is out now
Listen – http://charlotteadigery.lnk.to/bearwithme 

Taken from 'Foundations' (DEEWEE050), the first DEEWEE compilation album is out 7 May. 
Pre-order – http://deewee.lnk.to/foundationsyo​

“Bear With Me…” is about both isolation and connection. A beautiful statement of life
in this strangest of eras, its fractured disco production and soul-baring lyrics, conceived
and created by the Caribbean-Belgian artist with partner Bolis Pupul in lockdown, speak
of the intimacy and vulnerability of confinement. “Bolis and I are storytellers, writing
observational tales about the strange world we all inhabit.” says Adigéry, “Bolis and I are making a time capsule, writing songs that tell the story of life in 2020. We believe 2020 has been such a cornerstone for the 21st century. This song is about being confined thus confronted to the way we live. The cruel irony of having theprivilege of standing still, questioning and observing my life in all safety while others are fighting for theirs. ‘They say there’s dolphins in Venice’ is a symbol for the times we live in. An internet hoax that gave people hope. A naïve hope for a utopian future, now that we’re all locked in our homes. A sign that we are all aware of the negative impact we have on the planet but still seem to remain paralyzed. On the other hand the song is about not being able to run away from yourself and being confronted with your relationship to yourself and others. Not hovering from one busy schedule to another, never looking back."

LYRICS

"Just like breaking in the middle of
Hanging out, sounds all so familiar
Used to meet a lot the superior
Little child hope for the real one

Then I got a feel Of the real love
and it comes with a backpack devotion 
And You know it slipped off my shoulder 
Gave all I had for nothing at all

I can finally 
Think of time physically
I can finally
Think of love easily 
yea!

Was a time that met the superior 
he just bent over ma shoulder
Used to pray hope for a miracle
two thumbs up for making me cynical

Then I got the feel of the real love
and it comes with a backpack devotion 
and You know it slipped off my shoulder 
Gave all I had for nothing at all

I can finally 
Think of time physically
I can finally
Think of love easily 
yea! 

Better be cruising on tonight 
ain't gonna be no slip n slide 
even I loose u mama gonna shake that blues tonight

Thinking about the alphabet
Trying to play myself up dead    
You should do something 
just instead of,  Fill those tears tonight

I can finally 
Think of time physically
I can finally
Think of love easily 
yea! "

Baby Love

Vocalist par excellence John Grant joins Hercules & Love Affair for their new single 'I Try To Talk To You' - taken from the forthcoming album 'The Feast Of The Broken Heart' released on the 26th May.

The first vocal collaboration of the new album's recording sessions, John's sexy tomcat voice and lyrical ability for translating hardship into elegance lent themselves greatly to the new album. 

Andy Butler explains: "I asked John to dig deep with his lyrical contribution. I had no idea he would dig so deep. He tackled the story of becoming HIV positive, and while I mentioned to him that he did not need to go there if he was not comfortable, in that beautifully punky, spirited and courageous way he has about him, he told me that was what the song was going to be about. What came of it is an elegant song featuring John singing and playing his heart out.”

'I Try To Talk To You' will be released with remixes on the 9th June.

The Feast Of The Broken Heart

I Try To Talk To You

This is the first song we ever wrote. We revisited it because we wanted it to sound better live and fit in with the stuff we're playing 3 years later. We liked how this version sounded, so we added it as a bonus track to our UK album release.
ATLAS came out on Monday in the UK and you can grab here: http://smarturl.it/AtlasRufus

"It’s Butler’s precision on the boards that’s most impressive here - his polished, spacious touch is pumped with enough groove to win over any dance floor without inhibitions"  DJ Magazine. 8.5 

"John Grant follows in Antony’s footsteps, bringing the melancholy to Hercules and Love Affair’s tough old-school house production Guardian - mention from Alexis Petridis 

"It’s back to 1989 for this amazing Acid House collection featuring vocals by John Grant"  - Daily Star

Heartbreaks and 808s near a perfect balance between chart-ready house and the flouncy electro-pop/ Italo disco image H&LA have nurtured. CLASH  8/10

“Only a fool would dismiss Butler’s expansive vision and flair for daring reinvention.”  Mixmag  8/10

“A set of classy no-frills, no-nonsense house anthems, all vintage 808 drum patterns and bubbling bass squelches, it works a treat.” Q Magazine 

Hercules & Love Affair’s new album ‘The Feast Of The Broken Heart’ (released 26th May / pre-order here georiot.co/3mv7) sees another musical reinvention from ringmaster Andy Butler - delivered by an impeccable new line up.

The ever-revolving collective led house music’s resurgence with club anthem ‘Blind’ in 2008 (Pitchfork’s record of the year), and 2014’s line up is another roll call of exceptionally talented vocalists. Brits nominee John Grant’s ability for translating hardship into elegance is writ large on ‘I Try To Talk To You’ and ‘Liberty’; Rouge Mary, whose deep, spiritual voice is hewn from a gospel education; Belgian singer Gustaph whose counter tenor takes lead on the single ‘Do You Feel The Same?’ and smoky voiced virtuoso Krystle Warren, who was introduced to Butler by Grant, and sings the provocative ‘My Offence’.

Andy Butler comments: “I wanted nasty basslines, stormy, bleary-eyed sounds, fiery, rough, tough and ragged old school house productions that sounded almost techno. I didn’t want polite, I wanted aggressive.”

This aesthetic coupled with tales of emotional triumph makes for something tough yet soulful. Meaningful house music that IS pop music and can speak to the most musically adroit of tastes.

Take Me

Planningtorock–aka celebrated gender-queer song writer, composer, producer and director Jam Rostron –has teamed up with Chanel for “PlanningtoChanel”, due for release 22 July via Human Level.

Pre-order here: https://planningtorock.lnk.to/planningtochanel

Jam will donate a portion of the earnings made from all future planningtorock releases to anti-racist organizations. Starting with “PlanningtoChanel”, a donation will be made to the Marsha P Johnson Institute, which advocates on behalf of black Trans people in the US.

 A collaboration between Planningtorock and Chanel sound director Michel Gaubert, the songs found on PlanningtoChanel soundtracked the legendary Parisian fashion house’s Autumn-Winter 2020 show earlier this year. “I always felt that Jam incorporates operatic and cinematic elements to their unique sound,” Gaubert explains. “The Chanel show was inspired by French cinema from the 70’s and 80’s and Planningtorock blessed the show with their sound and gave birth to PlanningtoChanel.”

The ever shape shifting, critically hailed Hercules & Love Affair return with brand new album In Amber, to be released on 17th June 2022 via Skint/BMG.

“Across this record, there are emotional fields I hadn’t ventured into previously with Hercules & Love Affair,” says Butler. “Destruction, rage, loss, but also redemption and journeying towards empowerment are all touchstones on the album. It has taken years to make, but I am happy to put it forward now, at a moment in time where we have all been confronted with such heightened feelings collectively and on an unprecedented scale”.

Reuniting with ANOHNI for the first time since her stellar turn on the eponymous debut in 2008 (which undeniably produced one of the most beloved dance tunes of the oughts “Blind”) proved key to this process. Both share a love and deep respect for music of a more aggressive bent, zig zagging from grindcore like Godflesh and Bolt Thrower, via electronic avant-garde like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire to female fronted punk and metal like Sacrilege, Fear of God and Diamanda Galas.  On the other end of the spectrum, they have an equally intense appreciation for darker ethereal acts such as This Mortal Coil and Dead Can Dance. In Amber reflects this wide swathe of emotion and sound.
