“Death Drive” is the lead single and overture to the first full-length album by Berlin-based GODMOTHER. The nine-track, self-titled release arrives via New Pangea Records on September 21, 2018 – officially the last day of summer. 

'Godmother' as a whole is about having a laugh in the face of death. We as a species are on our collective deathbed, so why not have an orgy? Before we climax with apocalyptic scenarios, though, let's start out with a li'l drinking song: “I got a friend who goes to AA / and she says I oughta join her someday / but it's kinda far and I don't got a car / and the nearest bar is just twelve steps away”. Basically, the song is about how the pleasures that make life worth living are often what kill us – and about being fine with that.

“Death Drive” is written and sung by Joey Hansom and features electric cello by Stellan Veloce (of the contemporary classical collective Y-E-S) as well as backing vocals by Kaia Bremnes, the singer of dream-pop band Jackie Charles. DJ/producer Ziúr contributed to the sound design. She and Joey are the founders of Boo Hoo (one of “Berlin’s Best Underground Club Nights” according to 'i-D'), and Joey has also provided DJ support for the likes of Perfume Genius and SSION at their Berlin concerts. While 'Godmother' does have some clubby moments, “Death Drive” isn't really concerned with killing the dancefloor – it's more the kind of tune you'd bump while cruising in your hearse.

On September 20, on the eve of the record's release, GODMOTHER will perform all nine songs at the Roter Salon of the Volksbühne Berlin, playing the role of the house band of a talk show called 'The Late Joey Hansom'.

The cover artwork – a minimalist yet psychedelic tapestry of typography – was created by Stefan Fähler, following his work for the likes of Marc Almond, Ariel Pink and Xiu Xiu. It was designed digitally, then embroidered, and finally photographed. The result represents GODMOTHER as a conjuror of cosmic images, where familiar glyphs can evoke a sense of wonder.

PLUG are a drums and bass duo from London comprising of Sian Dorrer (vocals and drums) and Georgie Nettell (bass, keyboards and vocals - simultaneously!). Sparse tub thumping, conversational spiraling bass patterns & tribalistic vocal harmonies PLUG construct minimal pop songs with a real nod to Au Pairs & The Slits.

PLUG released their first two 7" singles on Parlour Records, both of which are sold out.

„A Remedy“ is the first release in a series that aims to tie a thread towards the release of Ella Zwietnig’s debut album.
The series aims to reinterpret older songs Ella wrote for her band UMA.
They now act as a production and songwriting exercise, with the idea to slowly develop towards a new sonic vision.
While collaborating with her partner over the last years, Ella developed a strong vision and an urge to release solo material, this vision will now, slowly, come to life.
It’s a journey.
