The Hunt - Fifteen Minutes

Jane Weaver
Intiaani Kesä
DIM008

Originally commissioned as incidental cues for a short film by Helsinki based designer Paola Suhonen, Intiaani Kesä (Indian Summer) by multi-instrumentalist Jane Weaver has since grown into a fully formed project lending itself to a number of further cinematic productions and creative applications . Appearing alongside Demdike Stare and Brigitte Fontaine in the vampire film Kiss Of The Damned by Xan (daughter of John) Cassevetes and recut and performed as an alternative rescore to Eiichi Yamamoto's Belladonna Of Sadness for various live performances, this set of well-crafted themes takes it's brazen influences of Nicolai, Dell'Orso, Alessandroni and Daniella Casa back to their purest analog recording origins with startling effect. Recorded in an old vicarage near the Peak District, housing a unique analogue experimental studio, Intiaani Kesä hears Weaver deploy a wide range of instruments including tubular bells, bowed guitars, vintage Goblinised Roland string synths, detuned pianos, church bells, Roland guitar synths, harpsichords and ex-Radiophonic Workshop custom equipment as accompaniment to wordless and onomatopoeic chorale vocals recorded on valve microphones with space echo, sonic room reverbs and bespoke experimental tape delays. Made in a disciplined and unforgiving environment without modern technological shortcuts these self-initiated creative research prototypes were not initially intended for commercial release but are thankfully gathered here as songs in there own right independent of context.

Following 'Without the World' and 'Winter Lady', the New Zealander Alicia Merz of Birds of Passage returns with her third album 'This Kindly Slumber'.

Like a cocoon, this album will envelope you in its many layers. Quiet storms filled with ambient atmospheres, densely layered choral drones, fragile vocals. Harsh reverberation, gently lulled by sweet musings, offset by poetic and philosophical lyrics, ebb away into blissful ambience.

With allusions to dark-pop and classic broken-folk, the anti-climactic compositions of Alicia remind us that she is a singer songwriter for people who don't like singer songwriters.

Climb into the cocoon of 'This Kindly Slumber'. This place of refuge will find you when you most need it, take you to the world within its folds.

Captain Détendu - Détendu
(Digital Single) Jewpop Records PARISDJSJEWPOP003-D, 2014-02-11

Thanks to the Paris DJs & Jewpop crews, here's an incredible occasion to both learn French and get relaxed with this 1st Captain Détendu single.

A Master of hypnotic rhythms and stupid samples, Captain Détendu expresses here his deep love of Hawaiian music, wha wha guitars and bongoes. Tthe 'granpa' voice you'll hear all along this track comes from the cult 1960s recording 'Le Disque Qui Guérit', a.k.a. 'The Record That Heals', by French fakir Yvon Yva.

'Détendu' is a French word for cool, relaxed, easygoing… So is this electro-downtempo or funky-exotica lounge? Nope, this is the ultimate 'Détendu' formula: peaceful music + out-of-step humour = absolute happiness! As the fakir Yvon Yva said: 'un infini bien-être s'empare de vous' (an infinite well-being sensation flows over you)…

Produced by the wizard dubmeister Grant Phabao, Captain Détendu's anthem 'Détendu' will bring you calm and serenity, and a better understanding of the French language. Listen at least twice a day for a better results.

Now, mademoiselle and monsieur, let's be 'détendu'!

Video for the original draft of Sugar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrR2Woei8RI

Lyrics:
The hills and the streets of the town
Are rolling along and you're with me
Laughing and smoking and screaming at the radio
Breathing sighs under those clouds

Sugar bees swimming in your eyes
Black hair pulled back and flowing down
Look to the sky see what we found
At your feet I lay myself down

At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down

Feeling cold in teh moring chill
When spirits show no mercy on either one of us
Well just reach out and let it pull you right in
Cause I feel it like a twister in my heart

I feel it like the thunder and the rain
I feel it like angelic silence when all is shut off
I feel it like a weight that has set me free
I feel it like a mountain in the glass ice rain

Your hair is the color of all life
And all the joy it brings

At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down
At your feet I lay myself down

The Janitors- Coming Down(strssmmnt rmx)

Offered as metaphor and delivered as analogy...

The Blizzard That Birthed Her is the continuing echo of this year’s Home Normal success, Book Of The Folded Forest. Birthed as two original Orla Wren tracks ‘Five Acre Ladder’ and ‘Mountains And Wishbones’ which were recorded in the same session, Tui then worked the cello, bass and vo- cals of Aaron Martin into two alternative versions of each track, making up the 4 tracks on the 10” vinyl for Facture.

He then offered the same to Isnaj Dui who contributed some flute for him to then create the two versions with her as guest. To complete the companion 8 track letter pressed CD version the two "reprise" versions were created by Tui utilizing parts from the other tracks.

Mastered precisely by James Plotkin, the project is released as a limited edition run of 300 copies designed by Daniel Crossley; 4 track 10” vinyl on reverse board heavy card with printed inner sleeves with designs by Montreal designer Urban9, download code, 8 track
4-panel letter pressed CDs with wrap-around letter pressed bands, 4 prints resting inside typed/ numbered glassine photo bags, 2 x double sided prints, pressed flowers, all resting inside large scented letter pressed envelopes with beautiful artwork again by Urban9.

To accompany the album an exclusive promo film was made for the track Five Acre Ladder (re- prise) by Lumacell. And a very special exclusive bonus track The Cup Of Remembered Things is also included as a free download.

A returned honour of growth and loss, this album complements her predecessor as an expressive companion piece requiring little explanation.

Release Date: 01.12.13
