2014

Black English - the band from Echo Park, Los Angeles - began as a home recording project in July 2011. In a small house on Mohawk Street a group of friends gathered to explore music free from any agenda.

The outcome was a sound has instilled a collective desire that, for a brief moment, perhaps all within earshot might feel unified.

Black English's debut full length "El Prado" will be released February 18th on Arts & Crafts.

"...the band delivers an uplifting hymn to the spirit of human resilience, sounding like a more optimistic version of The National." - Consequence Of Sound

As I poured over new bands for this year's SXSW, I don't think there was a song that haunted me more than "Stay With Me," by Echo Park's NO. – TIME

Four Tet’s sparse, apocalyptic production practically demands Yeezus comparisons. But then again, Cherry was singing over sparse, brutal, state-of-the-art rap sonics nearly a quarter century ago.“  - Stereogum

"Coming Home"  is an outtake from Blitzen Trappers new album VII.  "With this track we wanted to lay down some good old-fashioned country funk, with horns and banjos side by side," Eric Early says. "It recalls the swampy truck stop sounds of Jim Ford or Mac Davis, telling ourselves that home is just around the bend."

Say Hi "Such A Drag" (from Endless Wonder)

Flores de algodão 
abrem-se nas tuas veias. 
Noite de obsessão para a tua doce pele.
Já só resta a explosão e o fim
após o sonho da luz. 
Reflexo da tua boca no meu tremer, festinha do teu amor. 
Vamos ao parque, 
a Laura e o Rafa estão lá. 
Donos de fadas, de secretos e de cor.
Já são sete, hora de beber o sol.
Hora de desligar o sol.


Nana

you've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony
you've student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony
we spend our days locked in a room content inside a bubble
and in the night time we go out and scour the streets for trouble
hey hey marry me archie
during the summer take me sailing out on the atlantic
i won't set my sights on other seas there is no need to panic
so honey take me by the hand and we can sign some papers
forget the invitations floral arrangements and breadmakers
too late to go out too young to stay in
they're talking about us living in sin
hey hey marry me archie
a-r-c-h-i-e hey

Saintseneca - Happy Alone (Son Little Remix)

Taken from the single "Molten Gold", this is a new version of The Chills' classic song "Pink Frost".

“Pink Frost” was originally recorded in 1982 and has been performed at nearly every gig that the band has played since then.  It is a unique piece of music and it has always changed and evolved over the years as the various line-ups of the band have approached it in subtly different ways. The current line-up of The Chills has been stable for many years now and with the band realising that 'Pink Frost' had recently become something different and distinct again, it felt right to capture it once more in the studio – with tremendous results.

'Like Animal Collective with Phil Spector at the controls'  NME

Engineers release their fourth album, Always Returning, on 11th August via Kscope. Engineers, who currently comprise Liverpudlian multi-instrumentalist Mark Peters and celebrated German ambient artist/producer Ulrich Schnauss and London based drummer and composer Matthew Linley, have been creating mesmerising music with brilliantly shaded guitar textures and teasing lyrical ambiguities for over ten years across three albums -- 2005's debut Engineers  ('hypnotic lullabies from beautific Brit newcomers' **** Q), 2009's Three Fact Fader ('a blistering statement of intent' **** The Sunday Times), and 2010's swift follow-up In Praise of More ('should be given to most UK bands as an example of in making an album that is a joy to behold' 8/10 Clash).

Written and recorded alone at home in York by Peters, before being coated with deft brush strokes of ambient electronica by Schnauss; Always Returning is a record that unhurriedly drifts in and out of focus, hinting at themes without ever making them so explicit that the listener can't map out their own personal interpretations. It delivers an overall emotional heft that's impossible to pull away from.

If the album has a theme, its the sense that our internet-led all-access culture is stripping away the mythology and mystery in music. "As a teenager looking into the future I'd have loved to have been able to hear anything all the time, anytime," says Peters. "But everyone's so used to getting that now, and getting information about artists instantly, that it's undermining music and art in general."

An analogue approach was taken to give the album warmth, with live drums recorded in a day by Matthew Linley; computers discarded in favour of 70s processors.  The title of the album, Always Returning, reflects Peters' addiction to the creative process; it's an album about his own submission to the thrill of simply making music.

"Music's something I talk about every day, something I'm always going back to. I can't imagine finishing an album and not having a compulsion to get right back into it," he says. So it is that Always Returning feels different yet the same, reflecting as it does a passion that's never dimmed.

Celebration - Chariot

I'm pleased to announce THE LIQUID AMBER EP. This single/EP serves as the opening salvo in what I hope is a long string of music, by myself and others, on my new imprint: LIQUID AMBER.  There's two new songs, "Ghost Town" and "Mob," and a nifty remix of "Six Days" by Machinedrum. 

"Ghost Town" is an ambitious ride through many of the micro-genres within the Future Bass umbrella that have inspired me recently, while "Mob" is an intentionally stripped-down, Cali-certified head-nodder.  Both songs were written, programmed, and mixed by myself, and they represent the forward steps I feel I've taken as an engineer.  The "Six Days" remix was something I asked Machinedrum to knock out as a tour weapon, and he crushed it (naturally), so I felt it deserved a proper release.

I'm excited about this music and the new imprint, and I really appreciate everyone's time and consideration.
