Paralyzed

Me hearties. It's a bloody miracle. 
 
How many great tracks can you get on one album? 
 
My new album Glue Moon is finally being loosed upon the world on the 2nd of November, and I thank you for your patience! I also want to thank all the genies, daemons and muses hiding in the walls, waiting to inspire us.
 
I'm so proud of Glue Moon. I hope you enjoy hearing it as much as we enjoyed making it.
 
The songs on the album are written with a specific place in mind, 'Glue Moon'. It takes place in the wee hours, in the woods, by a lake, under a big pale duck egg blue/green moon.
 
Glue Moon is a positive farewell to things you can’t control. It's about letting things happen organically.

"Like a bird of prey, I will not feed it, it will not stay."

Benjamin Schoos feat. Dent May - ‘All Night Every Night’ 
Copyright Freaksville Records 2018

The story behind Benjamin Schoos’ sumptuous new single, ‘All Night Every Night’, is a very modern tale of connectivity. It’s a meeting of musical minds five-and-a-half thousand miles apart and separated by the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a bromance where the protagonists have never met outside of an email thread (they will hook up for the first time for promotional purposes in 2018). 

The Belgian crooner was listening to streaming services one day at home in Liege when the provider threw up Dent May’s sweet psychedelic soul music. The mathematical data packets selected a song of May’s and Schoos was instantly hooked. The algorithms were on fire that day, because the more he listened, the more he liked, and having secured the services of Laetitia Sadier (ex of Stereolab), Mark Gardiner from Ride and Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders as guest vocalists on his international debut China Man vs Chinagirl, he made a note to contact this kindred musical spirit - wherever in the world he might be - with the suggestion of a collaboration. 

“The first time I heard Dent’s music was in 2013,” he says. “It was Do Things, which is a great pop album. I really fell in love with his music! Great songs, great vocals and melodies with a sixties flavour, but with very modern production.” The pair have much in common: Schoos produces lush, string-laden, melancholic French pop at his Freaksville studios; May has “a voice like Brian Wilson,” according to Pitchfork, “a winsome persona - intergalactic lounge singer, spaceship yacht-rock star”. Releasing music on Animal Collective's Paw Tracks label, the L.A. based musician (having relocated from Oxford, Mississippi) counts iconoclastic chansioner Serge Gainsbourg as a major influence, as well as sardonic country pop legend Lee Hazlewood. Benjamin’s and Dent’s collaboration would prove to be a match made in heaven, or cyberspace to be more precise.

“I wrote and produced the music, played all the instruments and provided a few backing vocals at the Eastview studio in Liege,” says Schoos. “Dent wrote the lines and the vocal melody in L.A.” Gilles Martin, who was an engineer at the legendary Factory label alongside Martin Hannett, and has since overseen work by the likes of Hector Zazou and Bony Bikaye, provides the mix. 

Benjamin Schoos’ 2014 album Beau Futur was a 6Music album of the day, while ‘Je ne vous que vous’ with Laetitia Sadier was playlisted on the same station and received airplay all over the world, including on the influential KCRW radio station in the States. ‘All Night Every Night’ is his first single written entirely in English, and it promises to reach yet further afield with its sultry sonics and titular tenacity. At just under four minutes, it’s a sublime slab of sunshine pop that will appear in the middle of winter and should hopefully help dispel the winter blues. “Great pop music is powerful,” Schoos testifies. “It brings serotonin to our brains and love to our hearts.”

DESTROYER lyrics

well I’d rather be poor than to take anymore
these are delicate things these are people with dreams 
and you’re pushing them down until they can’t make a sound
yeah we've seen it before

here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior
here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior warrior warrior

no you can’t take my love away
no it’s all mine it’s here to stay
and when I’m lonely feeling blue
i close my eyes fly back to you fly back to you fly back to you

open it! that’s your vice for life for life 

here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior
here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior warrior warrior

i walked a mile for 7 days
and on the 3rd i kneeled to pray
i had a wish a dream a clue
i know that face i swear it’s you i swear it’s you i swear it’s you

open it! that’s your vice for life for life for life

well I’d rather be blind than to live off your dime
you keep pushing them down you’re just watching them drown
until they draw their last breath until there ain't nothing left
yeah we've seen it before

here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior
here now meet your destroyer
oh yeah electric warrior warrior warrior

you’re the man on my back I been sent to attack
you’re the snake in the tree you’re the evil in me
these are criminal times better get back in line
you’ll see it all comes back to you it all comes back to you it all comes back to you it all comes back to you

well this was the last the time no we’re not doing fine
at the end of the day well there’s no other way
this is it at long last won’t be stuck in the past
it’s the end of the line

open it! that’s your vice for life for life for life for life for life for life
open it! that’s your vice for life for life for life for life for life for life

Eskimo Recordings presents The Purple Collection, out March 2nd. http://www.eskimorecordings.com/newsdetail.php?idn=4910

Fresh from releasing Bill Brewster's 'Tribal Rites' compilation, a critically acclaimed trawl through the past 4 decades of dance music, Belgium's Eskimo Recordings return to the present and look to the future with the release of 'The Purple Collection', the 7th release in the label's annual colour series of compilations. Featuring brand new tracks from the likes of Simple Symmetry, Cavego and Future Feelings alongside recent label highlights from Horixon, Atella, Paresse and NTEIBINT, 'The Purple Collection' provides another essential snapshot into today's electronic music scene, covering everything from underground house & disco to sparkling electronica and leftfield pop.

Brooklyn based producer IV Edition teams up with singer-songwriter Lilianna Wilde -both Canadian- for the languid, nostalgic jam that is 'Whose Man’s', a track that breathes light whilst also managing to sample the sound of rain falling in a forest and a close-up recording of fire ants, which is probably the point where any yacht rock comparisons end. https://soundcloud.com/ivedition https://soundcloud.com/liliannawilde
