Imaginary Softwoods returns to @fieldrecords with ‘The Notional Pastures Of Imaginary Softwoods‘ - an 11 track album of effervescent ambient and electronica. 'Mr. Big Volume' is powered by succulent pads and a heartstrings of emotions, making it an acute soundtrack as we slip into Spring.

The Notional Pastures Of Imaginary Softwoods

Imaginary Softwoods - Mr. Big Volume [Field Records]

In his latest musical offering, Captain Planet collaborates with Colombian singer Jimena Angel to create a scorching slice of classic Afro Latin funk. The song began during a recent tour in South America where Captain Planet was playing some gigs around Santa Marta & Cartagena. A fan of Jimena's previous work, he reached out and connected online, arranging several days of collaboration. "I was staying in a tiny thatched roof hut in the jungle by the side of the Guachaca river, making beats on my laptop with headphones in preparation before meeting up. This beat was one of the first ones I played Jimena and immediately she got the vibe and we started to jam. The song had a triumphant and empowering feel, and then somehow we locked into chanting the name "Pambelé", who is an iconic Afro-latin boxer, born in Palenque, who holds a stature similar to Muhammad Ali for many Colombians." The uplifting Spanish lyrics speak about always moving forward, never looking backward, while fighting adversity. Jimena's powerful vocals soar over a super heavy bass line, accompanied by wah wah guitars and a hammond organ riff, with syncopated punches of horns, congas and cowbells. While the sound is reminiscent of timeless gems from artists like Ray Barretto or WAR, there is also a very contemporary feel and updated thump for today's discerning listeners.

I Don't Know

Questo disco è la presentazione ufficiale del duo nel mondo della musica inedita emergente.
I quattro brani presenti, per quanto diversi tra loro, hanno un filo conduttore che unisce le sonorità di ognuno per convogliare verso una progressione di suoni pop-rock ed elettronici.

“Istinto Primordiale” è l’apripista del disco e, in quanto singolo, vuole essere un richiamo familiare prima di far immergere l’ascoltatore in un lavoro da cui non sa cosa aspettarsi. 

Dopo un testo contraddistinto da esplosioni di speranza, il lavoro si incupisce con “Alyssa”, dove la protagonista è arginata in un presente che vede compromesso, intrappolata in domande sull’umanità e sul futuro. In contrapposizione con le parole, la melodia risuona come un gioco e pare trattare l’argomento con una nevrotica ilarità.

Se in “Alyssa” le domande non trovano risposta, le crude immagini che figurano dal testo de “La Guerra” non lasciano spazio a nessuna forma di mistero, e i The Recoveries manifestano con durezza il proprio disappunto contro gli scempi che l’uomo è capace di compiere.

Il disco trova la sua conclusione con “Miracolo”. Carica delle immagini e delle sensazioni trasmesse dalle precedenti tracce, l’ultima si pone come grido di liberazione e assoluzione. Un ultimo grande inno alla vita e alla luce, temi ricercati nell’arco di tutto l’EP.

Unveil the intensity of Allo.B's third EP, "Riot Soul and the Angry Truth," featuring the powerful tracks "Warrior," "To My Heart," "Still Craving," and "My Dark Me." This Dark Pop collection delves into themes of defiance, inner battles, and raw emotion. With haunting melodies and unapologetic lyrics, Allo.B's unique sound delivers a gripping and cathartic musical experience.

Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) (2018 Remaster)

An album of music inspired by the song of endangered birds with 100% of the profits going towards organisations working to protect them.

"A Guide to the Birdsong of Mexico, Central America & the Caribbean” is the second Volume in the series following on from "A Guide to the Birdsong of South America", originally released on Robin's label Rhythm and Roots. Volume I raised nearly 15,000 USD for two birding organisations and featured artists like Nicola Cruz, Dengue Dengue Dengue and Chancha Via Circuito.

For this second edition we have shifted focus north of the equator and to the vulnerability of bird species like the Momoto Carenado (Nicaragua), Ferminia (Cuba) and the Jamaican Blackbird (Jamaica), birds who have dwindled in numbers as a result of the environmental repercussions of climate change, deforestation and trapping for the pet trade.

For the album we chose 10 endangered or threatened bird species and challenged 10 of our favourite producers or musicians from the region. Working with the Xeno Canto birdsong community and the Macaulay Library, we sourced a recording of each bird’s song. Each artist was then asked to create an original piece of music inspired by the bird and its song.

In line with out vision at Shika Shika the curation of artists is specifically geared towards those bridging connections between traditional music and modernity, or between organic and electronic sounds. There are contributions from artists in eight different countries, ranging from Jamaica’s organic dancehall trio Equiknoxx, to Dj Jigüe, one of the leaders of Cuba’s burgeoning electronic scene. Belize’s critically renowned Garifuna Collective have been bringing the unique Garifuna culture and language to a global audience for many years, while Tamara Montenegro has quickly become one of Nicaragua’s leading female electronic producers.

The project would not have been possible without the support of an incredible Kickstarter community, helping us raise £12,599 in August 2019.

Once the costs of production have been covered, all of the proceeds from this album will be donated to Birds Caribbean, La Asociación Ornitológica de Costa Rica and Fundacion TXORI in Mexico. All profits from the sales of the record, music streaming, poster and t-shirt will be shared between these organisations who focus on engaging local communities to help improve and grow the bird tourism sector, create awareness of vulnerable birds with young people and crucially, provide rescue, rehabilitation and breeding programmes.
