Really cool vibe and instrumentation mix ~

mokb

Released December 2nd.

Naked (On Drugs) are lead-singer/songwriter Sebastien Perrin and guitarist, Luke Byron Scott; two exiles on (Manchester’s) main streets: Sebastien, having fled from the straightjacket-life of Lyon, and Luke having legged it from Milton Keynes (no explanation needed there).... 

They are a living, breathing, skinny link to the past, to the way music once was, when small venues smelled of girls piss because they couldn’t hold it in after seeing Brian Jones, up there with his blonde fringe and black hooded eyes, painting their minds black... And though Luke’s guitar sounds like a drunken black-out, he’s no charlatan blues-man, no six-string cliché; there’s magic in those minimum-wage fingers of his, reality and sadness and hunger and anger and canals of 4 quid for 4 lager and the lost laughs of girls lost to sober steady-heads. He channels it all: the magic truth, the wallow of late-adolescence... that’s Luke, that’s Lee Ann’s Skin...

Naked (On Drugs) - Lee Ann's Skin

St. Vincent - Strange Mercy (4AD Session)

fundamental tone

Hey Elbow  
Ellen Petterson (horns, electronics) 
Julia Ringdahl (vocals, guitar) 
Liam Amner (drums) 

Hey Elbow formed in 2013, and the debut single Blanca quickly made an impression and created waves in music media and on the net. The attention paved the way for gigs all over Scandinavia, London and Berlin, as well as opening for among others Wildbirds & Peacedrums, Cayucas and Color War.  

There music is another creature that strives to be free, and therefore Hey Elbow like to skip the usual genre descriptions and musical references when it comes to their creation.

The band took its name from an aerobics warm-up exercise they were taught while standing in the audience waiting for a show by The Knife. With their background in jazz and musical education, combined with an interest in noise, improvisation and freedom, they make odd and haunting pop music with a unique and personal expression. None and all of the three members are fronting the band, a democratic philosophy that gives the flugelhorn as much space as the singing, the electronics and the drums.

 "In our music the sound is at least as important as the actual compositions. We like to add little details to the mix, and they don't have to be notes, they can be just noises or hiss. They add just as much to the music as tonal things."  

They describe a liberating feeling when they started playing together, like finding something that had been waiting to take form. Their creative process is more intuitive than analytical and they don't limit themselves with thought-out stylistic moves.  

"Most of our inspiration is probably unconscious. We don't talk a lot before we write a song about how we want it to turn out, we try to just let everything happen. We have never talked about in what direction Hey Elbow should move or how we want to sound."

Atmosphere and weight, emotional charge, beautiful melodies and and a minimal restraint in combination with a joyful experimentation production-wise, are all contributing components which make it hard to forget Hey Elbow once you've heard them. Name-dropping comparisons feels superfluous, the music is powerful enough on it's own. 

The debut album was recorded in nine days, together with producer Joakim Lindberg in Studio Möllan in Malmö, Sweden.

Super Fan have been long time admirers of Sofia Coppola's movies having having fallen under her spell in 1999 after renting The Virgin Suicides from our local Blockbuster. Film after film was soundtracked with the most impeccable selections playing a key role in the overall aesthetic of her movies. It seems the part the music plays in transporting you to her worlds has not gone unnoticed with the vinyl soundtracks of Lost In Translation and Marie Antoinette sometimes selling for up to £300 a piece. 

We asked bands from our label and beyond to choose songs from the soundtracks and cover them for this unique release and the response was great. Bands from as far a field as China, New Zealand and Scotland have contributed tracks ranging from lo-fi bedroom 4 track recordings to full band studio versions and we are now very excited to present 'Sofia Songs' The compilation marks the 50th release on the label and perfectly marries our love of film and DIY music culture. 

Illustrator and long time Super Fan collaborator Kieran Gabriel has designed the sleeve and each boxed cassette copy will also include a movie script style guide book with detailed facts on each movie and it's music. Songs by Air, Phoenix, Frank Ocean, The Jesus and Mary Chain and many more reworked by your favourite Super Fan bands, what's not to love? Just in time for the release of the much anticipated 'The Beguiled' Sofia Songs is available from 07.07.17 with a London launch event/film screening TBC. 

As it is our 50th release there will be just 50 copies available and we will be donating £1 from each copy sold to our favourite charity. Please read about the work that Sense do here sense.org.uk

Lyrics:
The sights and sounds that fell all around your feet
(red white and blue, know everything true)
All turn to gold, line the sidewalks of your street
(people come and go, where to no one knows)
The summer sun will set, won’t stay too long
(don’t hide your eyes, greet the world outside)
So waste your breath and fill your lungs with songs
(songs you used to know, the ones your daddy showed you)

Kiss your wrist and ask no one the time
Stay up late getting drunk off that Dandelion Wine

Now your shoes all worn, your shirt all tucked in safe
(tucked down inside, still got nothing right)
Your hands all cracked, can’t help but show their age
(worn to the bone, spent polishing stones)
You showed up small but you grew too tall to walk
(bent and afraid, everything has changed)
Now you curse the kids that hang around your block	
(all they do is talk, the ones that time forgot)	

Check your wrist and ask someone the time
Can’t remember getting drunk off that Dandelion Wine
