The inimitable Nadine Shah has announced her return with the majestic rush-of-a-track ‘Stealing Cars’. Following the critically acclaimed debut album Love Your Dum and Mad in 2013, opening for Bat for Lashes and Depeche Mode and playing live for Vivienne Westwood's Red label London Fashion Week show, her new single is a statement of intent - 2015 could be hers for the taking.

‘Stealing Cars’ is a yearning, tender yet billowing thing of smoky wonder. A heady mix of clattering percussion, serrated guitar lines, minimal yet addictive piano refrains, and those all-important enigmatic vocals; it will be ringing in your ears for days.

‘Stealing Cars’ is out now via Apollo (UK: http://found.ee/ZIycR / US: http://found.ee/wjPcV) and a full album will follow in early 2015.

The track was once again recorded at The Pool in London with Peter Jobson (I am Kloot), Nick Webb and Ben Hillier – who oversaw production duties.

Praise for Nadine Shah:
‘Love Your Dum and Mad is astonishingly coherent’ Sunday Times ‘Album of the Week’
'It’s utterly magnetic. There are few albums that will make you experience so many emotions concurrently, and even fewer that will still give you chills hours later' 8/10 ‘Album of the Week’ The Line of Best Fit
‘An assured launch of a career that will provoke and explore in the style of Bjork or PJ Harvey’
‘Stand Out Album’ 4/5 Daily Mirror
‘Cosy and cataclysmic all at the same time, this is one of the most compelling expressions of Great British gothic since Morrissey made a date at the cemetery gates’ 4/5 Time Out
'Subtle electronics and the creation of desolate, 3-D spaces is the icing on a seductively ruined cake' 8/10 Uncut
'A piercingly direct seduction of the senses' 4/5 Mojo
‘The voice of a goddess’ 4/5 Evening Standard
'Nadine Shah’s voice is a revelation' 4/5 The Skinny
‘A dark, delicious masterpiece’ Diva
'An album that beguiles and bruises at every turn' DIY
'An extraordinarily delectable noise to behold' London in Stereo
‘Shah is clearly going to be around for some time’ 7.4/10 ‘Record of the Day’ Bowlegs
‘Expect her to be next year’s critics’ darling’ The Independent
'Her dark tales of lust, loss and vengeance bring to mind Broken English-era Marianne Faithfull and are due belated critical acclaim’ The Guardian
(Love Your Dum and Mad) retains a dynamism through Shah's magnetic voice’ 7.9 Pitchfork

Stealing Cars

STEALING CARS

Artist: Lilacs & Champagne
Title: Roses & Kisses
Album: Midnight Features Vol. 2: Made Flesh
Release Date: March 17, 2015

Instrumental psychedelic hip-hop hybrid Lilacs & Champagne spent their first two albums shining a light on the darkest corners of vintage European cinematic oddities. Their eponymous debut album and the follow-up, Danish & Blue, were warped, psychedelic takes on damaged funk and b-movie film scores. With their palette now thoroughly smeared, coconspirators Emil Amos and Alex Hall are flirting with the makings of a masterpiece in Midnight Features Vol. 2: Made Flesh. From the mournful opening breaths of “Roses & Kisses” – a new career high point for the band – it’s obvious they are charting a dynamic new course that simultaneously pays tribute to and explodes the legendary beatmakers that came before. Midnight Features Vol. 2 skins traditional hip-hop to its bones, then builds it back up with the flesh of Eastern European private press psych records, obscure film soundtracks, indistinguishable radio broadcasts, library tapes, and who knows what else from who knows where else. The most remarkable feat of Midnight Features Vol. 2 is not the impressive array of sound sources, but how Lilacs have managed to orchestrate so many seemingly disparate genres into one cohesive future music. They execute sudden changes in mood and tone with uncanny dexterity and grace – a feat made more impressive by their newly expanded line-up that includes Jay Clarke (Ash Black Bufflo) and Zac Reno. They’ve clearly found their groove, and they’re just starting to dig in.

This is this the self titled track called A Seed Was I? for the upcoming Soul Glimpse full length. 

A Seed Was I? is a highly conceptualized album that touches on the subjects of human transformation, ancient questions of our existence and attempting to find a higher realm of thought through the creation of music.

Jordan Bratton - My Town (Durkin Remix)

Happy new year!

Here’s my new years resolution for 2015: While working on my next album, I will sit down once a week, write down my thoughts, turn them into a song and share it with you directly. Think of these songs as little postcards. Little greetings from me to you. 

You see, I spend a lot of time on my songs, on their details. I sweep the streets that my characters walk on and polish every doorknob until I feel confident to let other people in. But it does lead to a very isolated creative phase. 

And I’ve been longing to share my thoughts and life with you a bit more. I’ve been longing to write about things that make sense one particular day but that might make no sense once the album comes out. 

Then at the end of this year we can sit down you and me and listen through these 52 songs, and remember where we were and when we were there, who we kissed and who we missed. I’m looking forward to that. 

Yours truly
Jens Lekman

Postcard # 1

Echodrone’s 2015 release, Five, heralds a sea change for the band in many ways. Musically, Five arrives at a destination first set by founding members Eugene Suh and Brandon Dudley, mixing reverb-drenched guitars with glitchy electronics and dreampop vocals to create a coherent mélange of tracks aimed to satisfy aficionados of shoegaze and IDM alike. Five also represents the next phase of Echodrone, realized fully only with the influences and songwriting input of new members Mike Funk, Jim Hrabak and Rachel Lopez.
Throughout Five, Echodrone explores the sounds of transitions. From arranging evocative melodies into unique pop song arrangements to applying standard rock band formats into 21st century workflows, Five takes everything Echodrone cares about musically and carries it into new territory.
Five is an auditory journey that mirrors the life of five individuals coming together virtually to create the fifth album of Echodrone. It is the cathartic soundtrack that maps the human experience through their eyes, as the quintet transitions from old jobs to new jobs, old friendships to new friendships, and old loves to new ones. To the band, Five is the perfect blend of shoegaze and electronic elements. They hope it is for you as well.

Twerps "I Don't Mind"

"My Baby Don't Understand Me" will appear on the self-titled album by Natalie Prass on Spacebomb Records, out 26/27 January 2015.

Spacebomb is proud to share the vision of 'Natalie Prass,' one of those records that appears fully-formed and alive–a rare, bird of beauty. Natalie Prass, the sly Nashville songbird, collaborated with Spacebomb’s crack team of arrangers and in-house musicians to spin the lush history of pop into a glowing new tapestry: R&B shimmer and click, Philly soul orchestras, melodic jazz structures, soulful Curtom percussion, easy rolling New Orleans tack piano and understated funk grooves. It is modern and classic, gorgeous and resonant, infectious and utterly engaging. The whole affair is wrapped around her tender voice, sailing high, sweeping low, flying, sighing–heart-melting and vulnerable one minute, fiery and muscular the next. As a songwriter, Prass has that sharp photographer’s eye for composing balance, building tension and release, able to lay out the heartsick struggle–perversities and pleasures of love in studied contrast. 'Natalie Prass' spins on pure central Virginia time, the true energy of a community captured and released in its vibrant, effortless sound–an unassuming, soul-pop classic.

Lyrics:
Understand the purpose of making
Everything around you better
There are no zeros after this one
There is no one to destroy your sweater

I’ll try to hum it to you if I can’t sing
My Baby wants me back before I even leave
Smothered and covered by my high school dreams
Call Mom and Daddy cause the nest is empty
And so are you

Did you meet with your advisor?
Do you still draw in the margins?
Bubble letters reading “WHAT FOR?”
And “I wish I had a stand in...”

Let’s try to make another hit for the teens
I miss your bangs, can you cut them for me
Smothered and covered by my high school dreams
Call Mom and Daddy cause the nest is empty
And so are you

Dine Alone Records is excited to announce the June 16 release of the new highly anticipated Heartless Bastards record. Titled Restless Ones, the album is the band's fifth and was produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen, Swans). Restless Ones was tracked in August 2014 during a 10-day session at El Paso, TX's renowned Sonic Ranch. Located on 2,300 acres of pecan orchards bordering the Rio Grande and Mexico, the studio - the largest residential recording complex in the world - provided the perfect setting, miles away from all real world responsibilities and thus able to fully invest themselves in the act of creation.

Heartless Bastards -- Wennerstrom, guitarist Mark Nathan, bassist Jesse Ebaugh, and drummer Dave Colvin -- have spent the past decade in motion, boldly pushing their unique brand of rock 'n' roll into new shapes over four acclaimed albums and nearly non-stop roadwork. Now, with Restless Ones, the band sets out once again, blazing a path to a place of shifting moods, seasoned songcraft, and unbridled spontaneity. Restless Ones is the follow-up to 2012's breakthrough Arrow. The album finds Wennerstrom exploring as-yet-unvisited avenues of sound and sensation, her bravery and ambition readily apparent in the emotional timbre and the sheer physicality of her songs. Her spellbinding vocals are of course front and center, her one-of-a-kind voice as primal, cathartic, and indefinable as ever.
