Newcastle-based singer songwriter Jake Houlsby is very pleased to announce the release of his indie folk-infused debut EP ‘Yannina’.

Having previously released material under the guise of Suntrapp, Jake stepped out of the limelight six months ago to consider his artistic direction and is now ready to return and release music under his own name.

The folkster has gained widespread acclaim in the last few years with national radio airplay on BBC 6 Music courtesy of Lauren Laverne and Tom Robinson as well as considerable blog coverage on the likes of The 405, For Folk’s Sake and The Mad Mackerel.

In 2013, Jake was also the proud recipient of the Alan Hull Award for Songwriting in addition to being selected for the Roundhouse 3030 Project which saw him perform at the Roundhouse Rising Festival.

The talented folk musician has clearly honed his craft on the live scene and is ready to kick off this new phase of his career with a series of live shows dedicated to debut release ‘Yannina’.

The six-track EP will feature tracks including title track ‘Yannina’, ‘Fuel For The Fire’ and ‘Beyond All This’ and promises to show a side to him we’ve never seen before.

‘Yannina’ is officially released on Monday 8th June.

New Morning

Aren't You Gonna Miss

Fresh from releasing his excellent ‘Live At The Mac’ album in December of last year, 2016 Northern Ireland Music Prize winner Ciaran Lavery is back with ‘A King At Night’, set for release on the 22nd of April. A collection of Bonnie Prince Billy numbers, the five track EP will be released as a special Record Store Day offering.

Will Oldham is an artist that has long fascinated Lavery and this release acts as ‘a fitting nod of appreciation’ to the legendary songwriter. Given the depth of Oldham’s back catalogue as Bonnie Prince Billy, Ciaran had a wealth of extraordinary tracks to choose from, leading him to plump for ones ‘that sat well within the realms of the world we created in the studio’. ‘New Partner’, the lead track from the EP, is a beautifully delicate rumination on new - found love, while ‘Horses’ features exquisite strings and brass. ‘Bad Man’ is a punchy, brooding number, its sharp electric guitar part adding a menacing undertone. ‘Beast For Thee’ is entirely subtle yet incredibly powerful and perhaps the EP’s most sensitive moment, while closer ‘Miss Me When I Burn’ needs only simple piano, coupled with Ciaran’s sensitive, aching, vocal performance to carry the weight of such an emotional track.

In 2014, Lavery’s Kosher EP and Not Nearly Dark album achieved global acclaim and recognition when the tracks Shame and Left For America racked up more than 29 Million listens on Spotify, on which he now has upwards of 60 Million plays. Ciaran won last year’s Northern Ireland Music Prize for his second full - length album ‘Let Bad In’, the second time he has been up for the award. In 2015 he won the Big Break, a search for Ireland’s hottest talent, set up by Hot Press magazine. A profoundly beautiful tribute to the work of Bonnie Prince Billy, Ciaran Lavery’s ‘A King At Night’ is released through Believe Recordings on the 22nd of April.

“To me personally, Will Oldham defines the modern day artist in that he is always evolving and creating. He never hangs around long enough in one space to become predictable and he lives through his music” Ciaran Lavery

~ Lyrics:

Remember the fallen
apples in our garden
how they laid all around all mushy and brown

Remember the currant
the red and the black
you could eat when schools began

Wish I could go go back home
But I can't go cause time says so

Remember the magic
that appeared when the songs played
at christmas times

Just wanna go go back home
But I can't go cause time says so
now my ghost is wandering around
in the halls of that old house

Just wanna go go back home
But I can't go cause time says so
now my ghost is wandering around
in the halls of that old house

Can't tell one day from the other no
There's no setting a midsummer sun oh
And I can never recover no
Keep running, keep, keep running oh

No wait have you gotta go
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
You know I wanted to go slow
Say it ain't so, say it ain't so
Say it ain't so

Everywhere I go
We run out of sight, we run out of mind
Everyone I know
They run out of love, they run out of line

I heard that you got a place somewhere
About a million miles away but I'm hearing myself say
Was that your face that I saw today
You're taking your time and I'm just give giving it away
I keep giving it away

Everywhere I go
We run out of sight, we run out of mind
Everyone I know
They run out of love, they run out of line

(We run out of sight, we run out of mind)
(They run out of love, they run out of line)

Everywhere I go
We run out of sight, we run out of mind
Everyone I know
They run out of love, they run out of line
They run out of love, they run out of line
They run out of love, they run out of line

📝 Lyrics:

City lights across the water
Tiny lights speckle the mountains
Ocean waves cut through the ground
Machines cut through the sky

Everything will pass away
No name and no face remain
Hold on to your love for now
Nothing will bring you down

Loving pain will help you grow
Heart love will fill your soul
Your honesty is what you give
Your sun shines from within

Everything will pass away
No name and no face remain
Hold on to your love for now
Nothing will bring you down

Nothing will bring you down
Nothing will bring you down
Nothing will bring you down
Nothing will bring you down

Nothing will bring you down

BIOGRAPHY, by NME’s Andrew Trendell
“I lived in my van for two and a half years to pay for the making of my first record,” casually laughs singer-songwriter Michael Baker. “I moved into the van after a typical period of heartache. I had nowhere to go, but it was pretty good actually!” 

From this, you can gather a lot about the Anglo-French troubadour. Mainly, he takes nothing for granted and lives for his music.  

Spending his childhood near Brighton (where he went to the same school as Rag N’ Bone Man), Michael got his first guitar aged eight after seeing Oasis live and needing to learn ‘Wonderwall’. In his teens, the songs soon started to flow. It wasn’t long before the purity of his voice, the direct rawness of his writing and the sheer scope of his sound found him regular gigs and a devoted fanbase – one that only grew bigger and more in love with the release of his magnificent debut album Dust & Bone. 

A soaring collection of heart-wrenching indie-folk and cinematic sounds, Dust & Bone was recorded with Massive Attack collaborator Dan Brown, and was a staggering first showcase of Baker’s ambition and soulful style. “I’m really proud of the songwriting on that record,” he admits. “I was in such a bad place in my life when I made it, but it got such a great response from the people who heard it.”

Early sessions for Salt started when Baker hit the studio with Dan Brown and Oliver Baldwin, who had recently finished making Aldous Harding’s acclaimed album Party with PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. While promising Michael says ‘’It felt like I needed more time to experiment than we had scheduled in.” So Baker headed back to record and produce the album with long-time friend Ed Martin. 

After discovering that his childhood home would be empty for a few weeks while his parents were in the process of moving away. He went in and stripped everything away, begged and borrowed all the equipment he needed, crammed the band in, drank a lot of wine, got a little stoned and naturally just flowed through the album – playing all day and all night. The recordings were so impressive, that Baldwin agreed to mix the record at Real World Studios and gave the songs a whole new dimension (as well as inviting Jack White’s pedal steel player Maggie Björklund to play on the album too). 
“I absolutely love artists like Cat Stevens and Bon Iver,” says Baker. Salt is a record that maps Baker’s journey through darkness and vulnerability to something a lot more hopeful. 
Among the key tracks that show Baker’s road to recovery, ‘Baby Books’ was inspired by being in close proximity to someone taking their own life – and totally changing the way he saw the world. Single ‘They Look Just Like They Know’ also deals with how “the mind can be a deadly place” and “feeling trapped in the prison of your own vision”. He’s looking for the sunrise on the horizon, too. Baker’s personal favourite ‘Claire’ celebrates the “the beauty of space in a relationship” and the escapist ecstasy of ‘One Good Damn’ has won over scores of new fans with its feel-good magnetism. 

Salt is a towering accomplishment that will win hearts with its adept handling of love, loss and hope, and there’s more to come. For now though, you’re about to get to know the real Michael Baker. “I feel like I have too much of a personal relationship with anyone who says they like my music,” concludes Baker. “I’ve been getting letters and messages from people saying that my songs have got them through a very hard time, and I don’t know how to reply to them other than as if I’d known them my whole life. That’s the way that I would do it. I hope that my music gives them as much as it’s given me.”

Day breaks
And I love the way you lay there
And darling I could stay here
Forever from the cold

Moulded
And I love the way you're holding
But we don't need to go nowhere
We'll bleed into the folds

Oh, our love it will fade with the snow
No, our love wasn't made to grow
Oh, our love it will fade with the snow
But oh, it's better than waiting alone

Hounded
There's something in the sounding
When all our lights come falling down
Like we were never here

So hold tight
Keep running on the fault lines
We're only for a short time
Before we disappear

Oh, our love it will fade with the snow
No, our love wasn't made to grow
Oh, our love it will fade with the snow
But oh, it's better than waiting alone

My love are you coming home?
My love are you coming home?
My love are you coming home?
My love are you coming home?
My love

All Along The Road
