ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 391

We're doing things a bit differently this week and announcing our Postcard Club single on a Tuesday. Yesterday our good friends Joanna Gruesome announced their debut album which is due for release on Fortuna Pop and Slumberland (!!!) in the US. It was a big day for them which they totally deserved and we thought two JoGru related announcements in one day might be a bit much for some people. Alanna McArdle is Joanna Gruesome's most recent member and as well as singing vocals for them, she also produces solo work under the Ides moniker.

Her first EP released on Reeks of Effort received plaudits from all round; and rightly so. Alanna seemed to effortlessly document tales of heartbreak weaved with despair. As a listener, hearing the EP in full is almost a therapeutic experience. The same can be said of her postcard single 'Prisms' - with an added fidelity that wasn't present on her earlier recordings, Alanna's softly sung lyrics become even more effecting. This is no truer than when she sings the haunting line "it was over before it began".

You can catch Ides in August playing in Brighton, Bournemouth, Bristol and of course our all dayer in London on the 31st. You can find her on Facebook here - https://www.facebook.com/idessmusic?fref=ts

Hell

Taken from Teardrop Factory's debut album 'Thrash in the Heart', released via Faux Discx on September 15, 2014.

Pre-order here: 
http://fauxdiscx.bandcamp.com/album/thrash-in-the-heart

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Teardrop Factory's debut album 'Thrash in the Heart' falls into existence in a swirling haze of broken sleep, streams of consciousness and teen despondency.

They pick up from where they left last year's excellent 'Topshop EP' but expand their alternative 90s worshiping earworms with an added layer of noise. Grit and scuzz consume 13 pop songs about mermaids, electric ghosts, car crashes, geometry, surfing, eating insects, video games and lucid dreams.

Made at home by the band and recorded in their bathroom, then mixed with Julian Tardo (Church Rd Studios / Bowlegs) and finally, mastered with MJ (Hookworms) at Suburban Home.

The Magic

A collection of lo-fi alternative rock songs made in my bedroom. 

 1. Am I Dreaming You
 'Just a lo-fi love song.'

 2. Crossroads
 'Punk rock that gets a little weird. It's a song about life.'

 3. Eloquent Desires
'A song about the mad thoughts that enter our head. Thank God we are not dictated by our every desire.'

 4. You were my rock and roll
'To that man I look up to. You are my rock and roll.'

Eloquent Desires

Easy come, easy go

Your Silence is an introspective and reflective song which stems from a scientifically proven fact that the brain responds to being ignored in the same way as it does to physical pain. Your Silence captures both the agony and ferocity one encounters in this situation, as well as the elements of undisputable beauty experienced alongside silence itself. 

Made in collaboration with hugely talented Alex Hall, praised by DJs, press and critics for his DIY approach to his 'British Pop' sound, and heavyweight mix engineer Jay Pocknell (whose past associates include Alt-J and Marika Hackman).

Your Silence

A passionate and soulful song targetted towards mental health. 

2 years in the making.

The first feature song between Taylor Mayd and Oscar Corney. 

You're the greatest (ft. Oscar Corney)
