Fortuna POP! (UK/Europe) and Slumberland Records (US/Canada) are proud to announce the new album by the Edinburgh based folk-rock troubadour Dan Willson who records as WITHERED HAND. “New Gods” is his stunning second album, following his critically acclaimed debut “Good News”.

Active in the world of visual art and dabbling in music for many years, Withered Hand’s Dan Willson came late to singing and songwriting at age 30, in a period of reflection between the death of a close friend and the birth of his first child. The resultant material, much of which went on to become the album “Good News,” has been praised for its depth and startling honesty.

Withered Hand has been embraced by Fife-based musical powerhouse the Fence Collective (whose sovereign King Creosote guests on the new album), seen his songs picked up on MTV and cult series Skins, and gained a legion of fans including Jarvis Cocker and Rolling Stone Magazine USA (who decreed him “Artist to Watch”).

A prolific live performer, recent Withered Hand shows have included collaborations with Pam Berry of seminal 90's US noise-pop band Black Tambourine and a rotating cast of musical friends embellishing Dan's exuberant and original songwriting alongside fragile and uplifting solo performances.

The long-awaited second album (produced by Tony Doogan – Mountain Goats/Belle & Sebastian etc - and part-funded by arts council body Creative Scotland) features guest appearances from the likes of Pam Berry, Eugene Kelly of The Vaselines and members of Belle & Sebastian and Frightened Rabbit.

The five years since “Good News” was recorded has seen Willson honing his songcraft, building his audience and gaining critical momentum. “New Gods” is a beautifully executed collection of songs from one of Scotland’s most gifted songwriters.


“Beautifully constructed lyrical frameworks ... on this banjo-tinged brand of Caledonian gospel” – **** MOJO

“the UK’s best lyricist” – King Creosote, in The Independent

“Killer melodies ... wobbly folk grooves ... tunes full of warm, woozy sing-song charm” – 'Artist to Watch' - Rolling Stone – 2011

Withered Hand - Black Tambourine

Introducing one quarter of San Francisco’s Cool Ghouls, Pat Thomas! He’s the tall dude who plays the bass.  He also writes one third of the Ghouls' songs.  Coasters Riding in the Air is a collection of songs written, performed and recorded by Pat Thomas.
 
The Cool Ghouls have made a name for themselves. Their soulful tunes and energetic live set have earned the band back-to-back slots with toast of the coast acts like Sonny and the Sunsets, Thee Oh Sees, The Fresh and Onlys, Mikal Cronin, Fuzz, Magic Trick and Shannon and the Clams etc., and they have no plans to slow their role.  It has been less than a year since Cool Ghouls released their self-titled debut with Empty Cellar and Burger Records, and a new full-length album (recorded by Sonny Smith) is already in the can.  The above in mind, one might guess that the Ghouls have their hands full; but like label-mate and fellow San Franciscan, Tim Cohen… Pat has more songs than any one band is prepared to handle.
 
So as the Ghouls keep on truckin’, Thomas is offering this batch of solo material, Coasters Riding in the Air.  He wants to keep the songs flowing; to convey another corner of the musical realm that he and Cool Ghouls inhabit; but mostly, because he recorded ‘em and he’d like to share ‘em.  Pat laid these tracks at a leisurely pace, coming back to them whenever he could.  He plays everything on the album, except for some saxophone and trombone lines played by Ryan Wong and Richard Harkins.  The result is an ear-pleasing contemporary take on classic west coast rock ‘n’ roll. These songs were seen through for their own sake and good thing, because they are great.  They are infectious all-around-rad tunes; and now that they are here in the world with us, they’re free to go and do what they please.
 
Coasters Riding in the Air will see a limited label-only release on November 26 (with a December 3rd wide-release) via digital download on Empty Cellar and on cassette from Burger Records.

The War On Drugs - Red Eyes

Reward on Moozar : http://reward-my-music.com/26600 Jag vet inte vad du förväntar dig av en ny skiva med Anna von Hausswolff. Ännu mer av den gotiska, mörka och spröda balladkänslan som präglade hennes debutalbum Singing from the Grave? En serie lättnynnade melodier anpassade till samtidens radioformat? Eller något äventyrligare, farligare, mer oberäkneligt?

Det sistnämnda har funnits där hela tiden, ända sedan Anna von Hausswolff började göra sina soloframträdanden runtom i Göteborg kring 2007-08: det kraftfulla, motsägelsefulla, dubbelbottnade som fick sångerna att om och om igen ta oväntade vägar.

Men på Ceremony har själva friheten hamnat i förgrunden, i musikens absoluta centrum. Det är verkligen en radikal förändring som gör både sångerna och ljudbilderna större, vidare, djupare, flyktigare, skarpare. Musiken stiger liksom till väders, som i det makalösa slutet av ”Goodbye”, där klangerna vandrar stegvis uppåt, allt högre, i sångens egen himmelsfärd.

Konstigt att ingen kommit på tanken förut: att använda kyrkorgel som huvudinstrument i popmusik. För omedelbart när man hör det, exempelvis i de betvingande Beach Boysharmonierna som bildar grunden i sången ”Mountains Crave”, framstår orgeltonerna som lyckobringande klangrum. Ja, det är en fantastisk frihetskänsla som etableras och erövras, som om kyrkorgeln vore den perfekta synten, en fantasimaskin med obegränsade uttrycksmöjligheter.

Att genrekategorisera den här musiken känns bara dumt. Poängen är ju att sångerna tillåter sig att vara allt på en gång, och att kyrkorgeln blir själva bekräftelsen av denna komplexa och samtidigt omedelbara närvarokänsla. ”It’s all there, it’s all there”, sjunger Anna von Hausswolff, och så är det: alla tider är närvarande, den barockvärld som födde Bachs koraler och det dova mörker där de utdragna, råa droneklangerna hittar sin kraft, och här möts världarna på de mest förbluffande vis.

Musiken säger att vi är mångtydiga varelser, och det är precis så det har känts när jag gått omkring i flera månader med de här sångerna i lurarna. Sångerna förflyttar sig obehindrat från det ena till det andra, och har en märklig förmåga att glida ihop med landskapet eller rummet. Det finns en förtröstan och ett lyssnande till ljusets och tidens skiftningar, och det är detta som gör musiken så stor och stark. Den ändrar sig oupphörligt, den är helt fri.
