"Horseshoe" is the first single from Withered Hand's album "New Gods," and features a guest appearance from Pam Berry (Black Tambourine) on backing vocals.

Fortuna POP! (UK/Europe) and Slumberland Records (US/Canada) are proud to announce the new album by the Edinburgh based folk-rock troubadour Dan Willson who records as WITHERED HAND. “New Gods” is his stunning second album, following his critically acclaimed debut “Good News”.

Active in the world of visual art and dabbling in music for many years, Withered Hand’s Dan Willson came late to singing and songwriting at age 30, in a period of reflection between the death of a close friend and the birth of his first child. The resultant material, much of which went on to become the album “Good News,” has been praised for its depth and startling honesty.

Withered Hand has been embraced by Fife-based musical powerhouse the Fence Collective (whose sovereign King Creosote guests on the new album), seen his songs picked up on MTV and cult series Skins, and gained a legion of fans including Jarvis Cocker and Rolling Stone Magazine USA (who decreed him “Artist to Watch”).

A prolific live performer, recent Withered Hand shows have included collaborations with Pam Berry of seminal 90's US noise-pop band Black Tambourine and a rotating cast of musical friends embellishing Dan's exuberant and original songwriting alongside fragile and uplifting solo performances.

The long-awaited second album (produced by Tony Doogan – Mountain Goats/Belle & Sebastian etc - and part-funded by arts council body Creative Scotland) features guest appearances from the likes of Pam Berry, Eugene Kelly of The Vaselines and members of Belle & Sebastian and Frightened Rabbit.

The five years since “Good News” was recorded has seen Willson honing his songcraft, building his audience and gaining critical momentum. “New Gods” is a beautifully executed collection of songs from one of Scotland’s most gifted songwriters.

“Beautifully constructed lyrical frameworks ... on this banjo-tinged brand of Caledonian gospel” – **** MOJO

“the UK’s best lyricist” – King Creosote, in The Independent

“Killer melodies ... wobbly folk grooves ... tunes full of warm, woozy sing-song charm” – 'Artist to Watch', Rolling Stone

Gun in My Hand

"Sonderlust" is an album forged through heartbreak. After his two previous studio albums ("151a" & "Lighght"), Kishi Bashi was at a musical impasse. "As I sat down to write songs last summer, I went to all my usual conduits of creation: violin loops, guitar, piano, and I came up with the musical equivalent of fumes", says K Ishibashi. "I tried to create orchestral pop recordings that I assumed were my forte, and in turn I found myself standing in front of a creative wall of frightening heights."

At this very same moment of musical uncertainty, K's personal life was falling apart… He and his wife of 13 years had brieﬂy separated and were struggling to keep their marriage together. In his own words, "Touring and its accompanying lifestyle took a heavy toll on my soul and my family". As an outlet, K submerged himself in a new musical direction. Sonderlust emerged as a direct result of this personal struggle taking place at an artistic crossroads.

With the help of producer Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear), engineer Pat Dillet (Angelique Kidjo, David Byrne) and drummer Matt Chamberlain (Morrissey, Fiona Apple, of Montreal), Kishi Bashi has created his most personal and artistically adventurous work to date. "This album is straight from my soul. I questioned everything about what it means to love and desire. The difference between loving someone and being in love."

G'day, I recreated the entire Sound Track from the ground up, took a bit of time but it turned out alright. Unfortunately I (Being the Beta I am) switched a few samples out of concern of copyright risks.

SWIM - Creeper #weareswim

Swim are back with 'Creeper', the second single from the London based two-piece. It follows Ride, their debut single which was loved by Artrocker, XFM, BBC 6 Music and Time Out. autoKratz man David Cox takes on co-production duties.

Creeper is an extraordinary display of electronic pop songwriting; Joe and Rich Swim at their most infectious; a compelling sound combining new wave electronics and Joe's endearing, captivating vocal.

A love for Talking Heads, Bowie and Tom Tom Club fuses with lush shoe-gaze melodies and a dance sensibility to bring us Creeper; a moment of pure electro-pop perfection which sets this band apart as an extraordinary new prospect.

This time the band took to the studio with David Cox, the creative force behind autoKratz. It has turned out to be some marriage; Cox's razor sharp production taking a remarkable track even further.

Lyrics:
From the start,
The weight around your neck, weighs on my heart
It's all too late,
Chill crept to my bones and makes me shake
And I can't sleep,
The walls are closing in around my bed
And now my fears
Start an alarm that rings inside my head

My blood's on fire, my heartbeat's higher without her
I'm lost for breath, I'm close to death without her

Take control
Don't just keep on waiting for a helping hand,
There's no time left,
What will it take to make you understand?
but is it right? is it wrong?
Was it worth it all along?
but will you fight or will you fall?
Are you ready to lose it all?
