Sade - Nothing Can Come Between Us (Pomo Edit)

First track from the 'The Hidden Door' EP, released on February 14th 2014. Recorded at First Avenue Studios, Newcastle by David Curle, January 2014.

5 track CD available to purchase at http://kobadelta.bandcamp.com/ NOW!

REVIEWS:

"It’s a real throbber of a release; indie-rock that pulsates with a dark heart; bluesy and nicely singed at the edges by way of some psychedelic flourishes. Cracking stuff." - The Crack Magazine (February 2014)

"Superb new five-tracker from this Newcastle outfit who make songs like distant thunder which have all the charged atmosphere of an imminent storm. Bluesy, rocky, occasionally frazzled, occasionally dark of ballad, but always potent" - The Crack Magazine (March 2014)

"The Hidden Door EP delivers a brooding, atmospheric psychedelic rock energy. The five piece are striving to cover new ground, whilst both retaining and increasing their fan base - which is a feat many artists struggle to achieve." NARC. Magazine (February 2014)

"Included on the EP is 'Supernatural Cause', which is a dark and gritty three-minute offering that is screaming to be heard live." - The Evening Chronicle (31st January 2014)

"North East indie rockers Kobadelta are back with a new, 5 track EP and it starts with a real statement of intent. 'Supernatural Cause' has a menacing beat and sinister guitar twang that is like the Doors playing a set on death row during a power cut. When the fuzzy, distortion laden guitars kick in with a vengeance you get the feeling that the locks on all the cells have just failed as well." - Listen With Monger (February 2014)

"Opener, Supernatural Cause plods into being with a confident and comfortable swagger, possibly hints of Nirvana grunge in between guitars which almost distort but are finely controlled on the mixing desk taking the sound as far as it can possibly go.  It’s not just cracking melodies either, lyrically Kobadelta are special too, telling stories along the way." - Louder Than War (March 2014)

"Kobadelta takes little time to excite ears whether new or old with the opening seconds of first track Supernatural Cause. Drums and bass cast the initial temptation to excite senses with the guitar soon adding its melodic lures to the coaxing. It is an instant web of persuasion which seemingly draws on The Doors and Echo & The Bunnymen, an embracing enticement which smooches and dances with the imagination whilst the vocals of Dom Noble croon with expressive strength. Throughout its heated narrative and melodic climate, the song sways before and leans bewitchingly upon the emotions, the tangy sonic design by guitarist Alex Malliris and mesmeric charm of the keys from Jordan Robson a potent spice for thoughts and passions. The track is an exceptional entrance, one which simply gets stronger and richer over time marking the band out alone as something potentially special." - The RingMaster Review (March 2014)

LYRICS:

I broke through the throne room of the old Gods,
I'm welcomed by a familiar coast,
I've got a feeling that's not worth concealing, beneath all these colourful robes,
Word down in Zion is let bygones be bygones,
Treasure the earth, don't get cut on your diamonds,
Oh well I've heard that you're in need of some assistance baby from me

The penny it dropped in the orchard,
Sex went and sold all the dead horses,
It read in the coroner's report that you died of a supernatural cause

I'll share my favourite toys if you come over to play,
She's a bundle of joy with a wonderful way,
Of seeing the world like it was your first day,
You wish you were under her spell, that you were not afraid,
She fits like a lime does in a tall, cold lemonade,
She sees the world like it was her first day

The penny it dropped in the orchard,
Sex went and sold all the dead horses,
It read in the coroner's report that you died of a supernatural cause

I want your problems
I want everything that's bad about you

I'll eat your words and make the room for more

would you lie if i asked you
close your eyes if you have to
for reasons i can't explain
I'm here still

run and hide when i have to
wanting more, but i want you
terrified i can't go through
the space between us two

don't leave just yet
dance with me love one last time, slowly
drown me again, just like you did
one last time, lovely 
phantom you lay, across my bed one last time
if only, for a moment we could

not too sure that i know you
think you left when i left you
and now were fading away
drifting as we end our stay

don't leave just yet
dance with me love one last time, slowly
drown me again, just like you did
one last time, lovely 
phantom you lay, across my bed one last time
if only, for a moment we could

Pre-order 'Trance Frendz' on LP/DL: www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP081
or digitally iTunes: snip.ftpromo.net/trancefrendz

Having been available exclusively as the second disc to 2015's 'Collaborative Works', Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm's improvised audio recordings 'Trance Frendz', taken from their 45-minute studio film of the same name, have been given their own vinyl release – out March 4th, 2016.

Prior to a string of collaborative Erased Tapes releases, which include 2012's 'Stare' 10” and last year’s 'Life Story Love and Glory' 7” and 'Loon' 12” – compiled on the 'Collaborative Works' 2-CD set, Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm spent many hours together in their studios across Berlin and Reykjavik. Both have carved out genre-defying musical careers and formed unique live shows, creating a fan base loyal to their prolific output.

During a session at Durton Studio in Berlin last summer, Nils and Ólafur invited Alexander Schneider and his camera to document it. The recording continued long after the first take, stretching out into the next day until, eventually, several new improvisations had been recorded in 8 hours with no overdubs or edits. The unexpected nature in which these pieces had been created was reminiscent of their first on-stage improvisation many years ago. It became immediately clear how special these songs were.

"At the end of the night we had all this music that sounded unfamiliar even to us, loudly asking to be included in this collection.”

Originally made available as a 45-minute film on their joint website (www.arnaldsfrahm.com) last September, 'Trance Frendz' will be available to own on vinyl from March 4th, 2016.

Press for their 'Collaborative Works':

'A particularly joyous wash of slinky percussion and juddering layers' (8/10) – Clash

'An enchanting listen. The bar for a Lads' Night In has just been raised a few notches' (7/10) – Drowned In Sound

‘This is music for slowing down the pace of modern life... An immersive listening experience is guaranteed, while we must hope Frahm and Arnalds go on ‘holiday’ together more in future, and don’t forget to take their musical instruments.’ ★★★★ – MusicOMH

'A collection of gorgeously intimate piano compositions and eye-opening synth pieces, each never aggressive but always powerfully poignant' (8/10) – Under The Radar

'What Collaborative Works offers is something strange: a shared world created by two mad geniuses. Long may Arnalds and Frahm tinker' (8/10) – PopMatters

'Collaborative Works further proves just how natural a fit Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm are together' – Resident Advisor

The Magician : Together (Zonderling Remix)

From our album "Broken Devotion" out February 12th 2016. Mint Julep is Hollie Kenniff & Keith Kenniff (aka Helios, Goldmund).

www.mintjulepmusic.com
www.unseen-music.com

On their second album Broken Devotion, Portland-based duo Mint Julep instill their lush and gauzy, synth-centric brand of pop music with a raw and powerful emotionalism. The follow-up to their 2011 debut Save Your Season (praised as “melodically sophisticated and dreamy” by the NME), Broken Devotion came to life over the course of four years, with Mint Julep reaching a new level of lyrical precision while easing into more lavishly textured, intricately layered arrangements. Throughout Broken Devotion, multi-instrumentalist/producer Keith Kenniff (also known for his work as ambient indie-electronic act Helios) and his wife Hollie Kenniff (Mint Julep’s vocalist and lyricist) explore the many bright and dark dimensions of love, a tension that’s masterfully embodied on the album’s title track. Urgent yet ethereal, “Broken Devotion” merges driving rhythms and hazy guitar tones as Hollie’s hypnotic vocal work achingly captures the unraveling of a romance (“There’s a ghost inside us/There are hands on your eyes/Spaces in between us/There are places we can’t hide”). Despite the moody atmosphere of the album, much of Broken Devotion was born from a certain lighthearted spirit within Mint Julep’s creative partnership. Lead single “White Hot Heart,” for instance, began as a playful experiment in retro electro-pop but eventually mutated into an airy and shimmering, synth-laced number that’s timeless in melody. Also featuring a gorgeously sprawling cover of When In Rome’s late-‘80s new-wave hit “The Promise,” Broken Devotion shifts from the frenetic energy of beat-driven tracks like “Incinerate” to the downtempo drama of songs like “Slow Spiral” with delicate grace. Forming Mint Julep in 2007, the Kenniffs originally had modest intentions for the band. “The project really just started out as a way to get my wife to sing, because I knew that she could but was kind of shy about it,” says Keith. Though the duo initially mined much influence from early-‘90s shoegaze, Mint Julep gradually shaped their sound by drawing inspiration from electronic music and from their shared affection for rough-edged music of varying genres (industrial for Hollie, punk rock for Keith). “It took us a while to suss out whether this was something we were just going to have fun with, or if we’d actually release our music,” Keith says. “But we ended up keeping at it, and now we’re at the point where we’ve created something with its own sound that’s very unique to us.” Noting that “it’s been great for Hollie and me to bond over making music, and to have that music feed into our relationship,” Keith points out that Mint Julep have found an even more enduring purpose in creating both Broken Devotion and its predecessor. “Writing music can be stressful, but there’s that joy that comes from creating something that you know you’ll have for a really long time,” he says. “We can finish an album and move on, and then go back years later and let the songs tell us what was happening then, what we were feeling. It’s a cool way to mark all these very specific moments in our lives together.”

SLOW SPIRAL
I believe we are bent in light
and I feel now
We'll never get out
So close your eyes
To the cold
It will take us
Nowhere at all
Nowhere at all

You forget
We have lost too much
And if we sleep
We'll never wake up
So find your mark
Set your sight
I will be with you
In the dark
In the dark

Lykke Li "I Follow Rivers" (The Magician Remix)

4 TRACK CD AVAILABLE HERE: www.kobadelta.bandcamp.com

Recorded at First Avenue Studios, Newcastle by David Curle on 19th-21st April 2013...

REVIEWS:

"This is a monumental chunk of fired-up bluesy rock that has more rumble that a tropical storm" - The Crack Magazine (June 2013)

"Kobadelta’s last single “When It Rains It Pours” received a hearty slap on the back in our last issue and with good reason as it is a supremely confident rocker of a decidedly wired and psyched nature; not foot-to-the-floor stuff, but spinning off fractal guitar riffs which add up to an inner core of really frazzled blues" - The Crack Magazine (July 2013)

"'When It Rains It Pours' is a slab of leather clad, dark haired, cigarette in mouth doom rock filth. The kind of tune that you wouldn't let anywhere near your daughter in case it impregnated her with a sneer and a slow wink." - Listen With Monger (May 2013)

"The synth infused track has hints of surf and alt-rock riffs reminiscent of Muse and Bloc Party. A real gem! Go and download it!" - It's All Indie (TRACK OF THE MONTH - June 2013)

"With 'When It Rains It Pours', a doomed motif is the nucleus of a seamless interaction between clean, pensive guitars and mammoth, bass-driven riffs. It’s extremely well constructed, and bipolarizes glimmers of optimism with downright lugubriousness. From the synths that shimmer from the outset to the hugely impressive bridge, where candidly strong vocals urge over a retrospective, clean guitar, 'When It Rains It Pours' spreads like a fever." - Reviewcaster (June 2013)

"Dark and bluesy, with a healthy chunk of rock, Kobadelta are fast becoming one of the must-see emerging alternative rock bands in the region... The single itself, 'When It Rains It Pours', is a seductive slab of rustic rock 'n' roll held together with rhythmic drums, gritty guitar hooks, kaleidescopic synths and Dom's coarse Northern vocals layered over the top." - NARC. Magazine (July 2013)

"Another of Newcastle’s finest, Kobadelta are a five piece psyche band from the North East and are here to tinge this kaleidoscopic genre with a little more black. They possess the uncanny ability to bring in all the surrealism of a Nick Cave nightmare to a predominantly rock sound, with QOSTA riffs, heavy toms and still manage to sound current and fresh... The synths of Jordan Robson have the ability to cut through the humongous drums with their fading reverb that give the band their escapist sound. With their track When It Rains It Pours they use this synth as an extra textural layer to complete the blues filled, meaty sandwich Marley on bass provides. The Brothers Malliris, with Alex on guitar and Chris on drums, provide the core of the band’s style and produce an authentic rock sound which paints the perfect background for the detailing lyrics." - Far Out Magazine (July 2013)

LYRICS:

We want to drink the water, I'm sick of all the wine,
There was never prohibition in your saviour's time,
I've been working on commission,  in King Solomon's mines,
But who was to tell the snake was wrapped around the vine?

When it rains it pours, it's not the weather I applaud,
You leave me wanting more, not in a way I've ever felt before,
Not in a way I've ever felt before

I sat in the centre of the great, golden round table,
They argued and they plotted like the brothers Cain and Abel,
I have the right to be silent tonight,
But you have the right to be violent, violent tonight

When it rains it pours, it's not the weather I applaud,
You leave me wanting more, not in a way I've ever felt before,
Not in a way I've ever felt before
