Morcheeba-The Sea

The song ‘Lie Down In Darkness’ is named after a William Styron book, and the song, at least for me is a very emotional, sort of mournful, piece of symphonic, electronic music, my friend Joy Malcolm sings on it. 

Right before he died I got to hear William Styron speak at a Paris review dinner, he read from Lie Down In Darkness, I was watching him read and it was beautiful and emotional. I remember looking around to see if anyone else was having the same reaction I was having, and I looked around and it was all this jaded, cynical New Yorkers who were checking their blackberries or their iphones, and not paying attention. It made me so disappointed. I was thinking, here is William Styron, who is this remarkable writer and he is sort of bearing his soul and you could tell he didn’t have much longer to live and most of the people were not paying attention. But I feel really fortunate that I got to see him and meet him right before he died.


Lie Down In Darkness



Looper release a new 5CD box set, titled 'These Things', Spring 2015.
Covering Looper's entire career from 1997 up to present day, with tracks from the debut 'Up A Tree' through to the new album 'Offgrid:Offline'.

Looper emerged from Belle & Sebastian in 1997, when Stuart David (co-founder and bass player of B&S) and his wife Karn (an artist who directed the early B&S videos) collaborated for a show at Glasgow School of Art. A degree show fundraiser for Stuart's sister Karla Black - who received a Turner Prize nomination in 2011- the performance was a multi-media affair incorporating TVs, super 8 film, 35mm slides and kinetic sculptures. Since nothing broke down and everyone clapped, they decided to keep doing it.

Looper have recorded four albums to date, 'Up A Tree'. 'The Geometrid', 'The Snare' and 'Offgrid:Offline' as well as numerous singles and EPs.

i wish i had some ornate or choice words to express how sad i am at the moment but i don’t, so i figured the best way for me to remember david bowie was to cover the first song of his that i ever heard. 

at the risk of being trite, “heroes" changed my life. the melody accompanying “i, i will be king/and you/you will be queen” is to me, not only the finest melody the thin white duke ever wrote but among the finest ever written period.

and if you listen to the synth line in the end chorus of our track “radioface” very, very closely you can hear a small nod to “heroes”.

thank you to another david, david andrew for helping me with this.

all hail the goblin king 

Heroes (David Bowie Single Version Cover)

Such a great song. This is a new mix from the original multitracks. Different mix than the 'rough take 1' mix posted some months ago. This is the final mixdown. I made a longer version and I used the original 'Mary Mary' drumloop, which the Ceasars also used...

Additional production, mix & mastering by Jam Master. 

Enjoy and leave a comment !
