This Changes Everything//

Up here
I've been lonely
Swinging high and low
Calling from my cage

Baby
How you paint me
Free of all my flaws
I like me through your gaze

There's something about you
The way you feel tonight
There's something about you
Oh

This changes everything
All of my nights in bloom
I give in
So in love with you
Lost in your lullaby
I can't say a word
I'll never let you go cos I
Never knew a love like this

Vivid
As an arrow
I can see you found
A home inside my heart
I got shivers
Down my spine
I'm born again
To be hunted in the dark

There's something about  you
The way you feel tonight
There's something about you
Oh

This changes everything
All of my nights in bloom
I give in
So in love with you
Lost in your lullaby
I can't say a word
I'll never let you go cos I
Never knew a love like this

Hit Parade

Somewhere i belong

2017 proved a huge year for Pictish Trail which ended in Johnny Lynch announcing he’d signed to Fire Records alongside Jane Weaver, Death And Vanilla, Noveller, Hater and Modern Studies. Seeing in the new year with more rousing news and following a sold-out show at this year’s Celtic Connections, Pictish Trail will be supporting Belle And Sebastian on a number of live dates across Europe later this month with shows in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Italy.

Coinciding with the tour ‘Who’s Coming In’, taken from ‘Future Echoes’, gets remixed by Joe Goddard (Hot Chip, The 2 Bears). Here blissed out celestial tones stretch this gorgeous track into an eight-minute dance floor banger that has a ‘trip-hop subtleness bridged with a Caribou feel’ (Clash).

The critically acclaimed psych-pop record, ‘Future Echoes’, bursts with beautiful melodies, harmonies and lyricism with sublime production from collaborator Adem Illhan and additional production and mixing from Rob Jones (Sweet Baboo, Slow Club). Last year, the Lost Map founder was also shortlisted for the ‘Scottish Album Of The Year Award’, by public vote, with the album earning ★★★★ reviews from MOJO, Uncut, Clash, The Arts Desk and The Scotsman among others. 

“Mysterious cinematic pop melancholia” – The Guardian

“Glazed with fun and pop and excitement” ★★★★ – Clash

“Delights in roving electronica” ★★★★ – Uncut

“A dark pop album, as joyful as it is unexpected” ★★★★ – Mojo

Live Dates
05 Feb: De Roma, Antwerp, Belgium w/ Belle & Sebastian 
06 Feb: La Laiterie, Strasbourg, France  w/ Belle & Sebastian 
07 Feb: Salle Pleyel, Paris, France  w/ Belle & Sebastian 
08 Feb: Walrus, Paris, France (FREE in-store) 
09 Feb: Stereolux, Nantes, France  w/ Belle & Sebastian

Dita Von Teese - Sparkling Rain

Modern Studies present new album ‘Welcome Strangers’
Released 18th May 2018
CD/LP/DL
Pre-order link: https://modernstudiesfire.bandcamp.com/

“Songs that see the mystical beyond the material” MOJO

‘Welcome Strangers’ is the second record by feral pop outliers Modern Studies. Elegiac and haunted, life-giving and triumphant, this beguiling return digs deep into landscapes both real and imagined, internal and external, in a work that might perhaps best be described as “kosmiche choral” or, if we’re pushing it “arts-und-crafts-werk”. Or, put simply, glorious pop music. 

It is an elemental and often spectral world of contrasting tones and hues that is found within ‘Welcome Strangers’, one whose lyrical vocabulary is of loss, light, air, sun, growth; of spires, seeds and phosphene dreams. Here is the Britain of visionaries such as Kate Bush, Broadcast or PJ Harvey, a nation of dark magic, conﬂict, celebration and confusion, all at the same time. 

Witness the incandescent chamber-pop of ‘Get Back Down’: underpinned by complex jazz rhythms, and string and brass ﬂourishes, it manages to be both understated and epic as it explores a similar sonic terrain to Wild Beasts. Or there’s ‘Horns And Trumpets’, a haunting musical perambulation that burrows deep into Britain, a warm-hued hymn for future generations, and ‘Let Idle Hands’, which abandons restraint halfway through and, in a moment of musical epiphany, runs joyously to the horizon. Meanwhile on ‘Phosphene Dream’ the honeyed harmonies of Emily Scott and Rob St. John wrap themselves around each other like Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood had they holidayed in draughty Glasgow tenements. Or perhaps – as on ‘Disco’ – they come closer to Kylie and Nick Cave. 

“It’s an ever changing thing - an organism,” explains principle songwriter Emily of Modern Studies’ collaborative creative process, “there is space for each of the band to experiment.” Shared band listening habits include Yamasuki, Van Dyke Parks, Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, Matthew E White, Basil Kirchin, and Nanci Griffith. 

Working at Pete’s Pumpkinfield studio in rural Perthshire through 2017, the band used a Creative Scotland grant to hire a chamber orchestra and a remote village hall to record them in. Contributors include sisters, wives, toddlers, freeform saxophonists and The Pumpkinseeds, an ensemble featuring violins, violas, cellos, trombones and vocals, brought together to play Pete and Emily’s collaborative string, brass and vocal arrangements. Truly, a family affair. 

As well as further ﬂeshing out the sound with analogue synths, tube organs, drum machines and mellotrons, some inventive techniques were deployed – a decayed tape loop of Emily’s vocals used to create the stuttering rhythm in Mud and Flame for example, or prepared guitars recurring as percussion and drones.

Now they proudly present ‘Welcome Strangers’, an album of modernist pop weirdness for the 21st century, a bricolage where classicism meets experimentalism and repeated listening unearths new stories for this contemporary age. More elaborate and expansive than its predecessor, this is music as cartography, Modern Studies mapping their own multi-dimensional internal world. 

‘Welcome Strangers’. Welcome all.

Modern Studies are: Emily Scott (vocals, organs, piano, double bass). Rob St. John (vocals, guitars, synths, harmonium, tape loops). Pete Harvey (cello, bass, piano). Joe Smillie (drums, mellotron, vocals).

Since The Day I Was Born

Taken from their new album 'Siesta' 
Out 28th September
Pre-order link: lnk.to/hatersiesta

“Hater’s songs epitomize jangling grace as Caroline Landahl coos with maximum approachability.” NPR

“Their unique take on rock music feels familiar and lived-in, taking bits from indie-pop, post-punk and classic rock.” Stereogum 

“Gorgeous, achingly bittersweet vocals, perpetually swaying between comforting and devastating.” Gorilla Vs Bear 

Resolute in their sound, ‘Siesta’ is the perfect soundtrack for that summer romance and the inevitable break up. Heartbreak has never sounded so sweet! 

Hater’s powerful vulnerability and charm has seen them rise quickly through the ranks earning kudos from NPR (Austin 100), Stereogum (Best New Bands Of 2017), The Fader, BBC6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and more.

Sprawling guitars chime whilst slow burning grooves and classic rock rhythms allow tender-hearted vocals to soar over intelligible dream pop. Effortless and assured, the Scandi quartet drift eloquently into well-structured and stunning melodies.

Produced by Joakim Lindberg (Yast and Hey Elbow) at Studio Sickan within old railway sheds outside of Malmö Sweden. Hater tackle their personal experiences of life, love and relationships yet through their shared songwriting there's a togetherness. Synth pop earworm ‘It’s So Easy’ contrasts the slower paced 'I Wish I Gave You More Time Because I Love You' that blends beautiful sweeping sax from Inge Petersson Lindbäck. The haunting metronomic beat of ‘I Sure Want To’ calls to mind local residents Death And Vanilla, Hollywood glamour exudes on shimmering 'Things To Keep Up With' and 'Cut Me Loose' captures those long youthful days of summers gone by.. "Wouldn't it be fun? Noon is halfway and I feel gone".

Hater “boast Marr-esque guitars and vocals reminiscent of fellow Swedes The Concretes” (Norman Records) whilst having the pop sensibilities of The Chills, Alvvays, Snail Mail and Makthaverskan.
In early 2017 Hater released their debut album ‘You Tried’ blending jangle with grit, their recent EP ‘Red Blinders’ (Fire Records) soon followed in support of their first headline tour across Europe. Festivals in 2018 have already included SXSW, Eurosonic and Ment.

Hater release ‘Siesta’ on limited edition yellow opaque double LP, standard black vinyl and CD via Fire Records on 28th September.
