A Darker Sunset

Copper, Beech

Matthew Bourne returns to the piano on ‘Candela (for Sascha Heeney)’, the first single from his forthcoming album, to be released this summer.

‘Candela' is a deep meditation in texture and melody: skeletal piano motifs buoyed on a bed of strings. There is an emotional directness and vulnerability that Bourne has only ever hinted at. When taken in the context of his back catalogue, this unadorned simplicity is a bold and challenging step to make, and all the more devastating for it.

To coincide with Piano Day 2017 we share a cover of an old Penguin Cafe Orchestra song by Penguin Cafe from their upcoming new album 'The Imperfect Sea' - out on Erased Tapes 5th May 2017.

"This piece by my father has always been a favourite of mine and when we were playing in the studio last year with making rocks resonate through the soundboard of the piano, the drone on F# made me think of it immediately. The transition between free-form and structure allows for space and some more expressionist moments and then the simple yet rather beautiful melody creates a sort of profound optimism I think." — Arthur Jeffes

Pre-order 'The Imperfect Sea' on Vinyl, CD and DL here: phonofile.link/the-imperfect-sea

The iconic Penguin Cafe join the Erased Tapes family and open a brand new chapter to their unique world with new album The Imperfect Sea.

A penguin stands in the middle of a scorching desert, far away from its natural habitat. This mirrors composer Arthur Jeffes’ journey and exploration into a new musical territory. Penguin Cafe have evolved into something of their own at the hands of Arthur who started the band in 2009 with the continuation and homage to his father’s legacy, to the late Simon Jeffes’ Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Now, their upcoming album echoes reminiscent sounds that embrace the new.

The album title refers to a saying by his father that “we wade in a sea of imperfections…”, reflecting upon the idea that beauty can be found amongst the chaos. “If there is a narrative to the album it’s coming to the acceptance of the imperfections in all aspects of life; moreover, the recognition that these imperfections and tiny randomnesses are in fact what make up the best parts”, Arthur explains. This has also been highlighted by the striking cover artwork designed by FELD under the art direction of label founder Robert Raths, resembling a lone figure adapting to and accepting its surrounding environment.

Predominantly self-composed, the new album also features covers of electronic works by Simian Mobile Disco and Kraftwerk, along with a re-working of Simon's 'Now Nothing'. Arthur has developed from the traditional folk and jazz heritage Penguin Cafe Orchestra is known for into another realm of blissful ambience and dance music, recreated using strictly acoustic elements.

“For this album I wanted to effect a departure from where we’d been up to now. The idea was to create a musical world that would feel familiar to an audience more used to dance records but stay true to our own values. So we replaced electronic layers with real instruments: pads with real string sections, synths with heavily-effected pianos, and atmospheric analogue drones with real feedback loops ringing through a stone and a piano soundboard.”

On the day of release, the band will play a headline show at New York’s Le Poisson Rouge, commencing the beginning of this new adventure for Penguin Cafe.

Quattro.
Pesanti come un colpo.
«A Cesare quel che è di Cesare, a Dio quel che è di Dio».
Ma uno
come me
dove potrà ficcarsi?
Dove mi si è apprestata una tana?

S’io fossi
piccolo
come il Grande Oceano,
mi leverei sulla punta dei piedi delle onde,
con l’alta marea carezzando la luna.
Dove trovare un’amata 
uguale a me?
Angusto sarebbe il cielo per contenerla!

Oh, s’io fossi povero!
Come un miliardario!
Che cos’è il denaro per l’anima?
Un ladro insaziabile si annida in essa.
All’orda sfrenata dei miei desideri
non basta l’oro di tutte le Californie.

S’io fossi balbuziente
come Dante
o Petrarca!
Accendere l’anima per una sola!
Ordinarle coi versi di struggersi in cenere!
E le parole 
e il mio amore
sarebbero un arco di trionfo:
pomposamente,
senza lasciar traccia, vi passerebbero sotto
le amanti di tutti i secoli.

Oh, s’io fossi
silenzioso
come il tuono,
gemerei,
stringendo con un brivido il decrepito èremo della terra.
Se urlerò a squarciagola
io
con la mia voce immensa,
le comete torceranno le braccia fiammeggianti,
gettandosi a capofitto sulla malinconia.

Coi raggi degli occhi rosicchierei le notti
se fossi
appannato
come il sole!
Che bisogno ho io
di abbeverare col mio splendore
il grembo dimagrato della terra!

Passerò,
trascinando il mio enorme amore.
In quale notte
delirante,
malaticcia,
da quali Golia fui concepito,
cosí grande
e così inutile?

- V. Majakovskij
