Sweater Aesthetic is a deeply personal, low-tempo folk-pop song by John Greska. The sweater we use to protect ourselves from the world can be interpreted in many different ways: The false emotions we display so people can’t see the real us; our parents, who we only use until we don’t need them anymore; and perhaps even just a plain old sweater, that protects us from the wind and storm. Inspired by artists like Simon and
Garfunkel, this piece tells a story that’s yours and yours alone.

This release is in tandem with Paper Garden Records "Digs" program and is raising money for The Trevor Project, a great LGBTQ+ charity. If you'd like to donate you can use this link give.thetrevorproject.org/fundraiser/5895184

Berlin producer Robot Koch is back for his third full length release, “The Other Side”.

Although Robot Koch has an international reputation as being "One of Europe`s finest producers of the beat generation" (Low End Theory), he is much more than just a beatmaker… “(Post)-dubstep infused Electronic Hip Hop“ is far too constrained a label to understand what this producer is all about. Instead of following the sound of his previous albums “Death Star Droid” ("Essential listening" - Bobby Friction BBC) and “Songs For Trees and Cyborgs“ ("Music for a modern age that has rarely sounded so good” - Boomkat), Koch takes the genre defying ingredients from these previous records to another level. There still are some of those “Galactic ten ton beats and space age melodies“ (Dazed and Confused) that made the previous albums staple drops in the playlists of Mary Anne Hobbs, Starkey, Daedelus and Gaslamp Killer to name a few, but there is a new dimension to Koch`s production and songwriting that didn’t show on his previous records.

The cinematic vibe of tracks like “Nitesky”, the quirky and moody feel of “Bugs” and the electricity of “Tapedeck” show how Koch more than ever manages to create intimate and timeless pieces of music that are soulful, deep, mysterious and that will appeal to fans of cutting edge Electronica and modern pop music alike. This is the most personal record of Robot Koch to date. Instead of going for big name features Koch teamed up with lesser know artists like Kansas based vocal talent John LaMonica, long time friend and theatre composer Nielson and mexican singer/songwriter Graciela Maria to find the right voices for his compositions. John LaMonica infuses his whimsical and heartfelt melodies that breathe an air of darkness and nostalgia with Koch`s fresh and forward thinking instrumentals to create something that fans of Radiohead, The XX and Jamie Lidell should not sleep on.

”I`m glad John contacted me, we were thinking of collaborating on one song for my album but it ended up being five songs, they were all fantastic and helped me find the right direction for ‘The Other Side’.”

After the release of the John Robinson collaboration album (“Robot Robinson” – Project Mooncircle) earlier this year, it seems surprising how extensive Robert’s output is, but don’t be mistaken, this album is a longer term project than just releasing the songs Koch made in the last year. Some of the songs found on “The Other Side” were made seven years ago.

”I didn’t know what to do with songs like ‘Bugs’ back then. Now it felt like the time has come to release them, they just made sense with of the most recent stuff I’ve been making and it all fell into place. But it was not an easy album for me to make. The previous albums just came together rather quick but this one was a real mission, something I’ve been trying to do for years and I could never really get it together until now.”

Legendary John Peel (BBC) knew in 2003 already when he said about Koch`s productions "Wonderful and strange, pop music from the future“.

"Strange Range is my attempt to explain why I've been acting strange over the last few years.  So it's pretty personal, I guess.  Though, for anyone who's a little off sometimes or knows someone who's a little off sometimes, the album might be be meaningful." - Marc Cantone

We are proud to announce that The City and Horses will release their new album, Strange Range, via Paper Garden Records on June 18th!  The quirky indie-pop charm that came with We Will Never Be Discovered rings through the new album and exposes new layers of shoegaze, dance and even R&B while offering a glimpse into the personality and persona behind the project, singer/songwriter and awkwardly lovable Marc Cantone

While the album may not be out till June 18th, that doesn’t mean you can’t go ahead and put your order in now! Pre-Order your album NOW and you will get a hand-signed note from Marc himself!

Strange Range is the third album recorded by The City and Horses at The Bunker Studio in Williamsburg (Black Keys, the Roots, Dangermouse, Tuneyards).  The album was recorded and mixed by Bunker co-owner Aaron Nevezie and produced by Aaron and Chuck Palmer.  It was mastered by Scott Hull at Masterdisk.

Marc initially tracked with Dave Downham at Gradwell House Recording in Haddon Heights, NJ to structure the songs and decide which tracks would make the cut. He then brought the tracks up to the Bunker where Aaron, Chuck, a host of TCAH regulars like Domenica Fossati (flute) and Nikki D'Agostino (sax) and Marc spent many long weekends building the songs.  

Marc wrote the first single, "17", with GarageBand on his iPhone and used much of the what he recorded in the final version.  He also plugged his iPhone directly into the console and used it as an instrument on a number of tracks.  

After mentioning his iPhone, Marc shakes his head and says, "Man, describing our recording sessions is boring.  Besides ordering lunch from a different restaurant each day, there's nothing all that interesting about the sessions.  No drugs or sex or anything.  One time, though, three cute French exchange students were locked outside of their apartment and hung out with us in the studio.  We gave them CDs and stuff.  But they never emailed or liked us on Facebook."

The band will also appear for the first time in their own music videos.  Previously their videos have featured the French performance art duo le contremaître et sa contremaîtresse (http://www.toutcontre.com), quirky animated characters and re-edits of obscure Danish rock videos.

Here's my May tape. 

There were quite a few beautiful disco tracks this month, good to see it's coming back and that deep house is not everything (although it's always nice to have some). 
Maybe less exclusives than usual, but it's the journey that matters. 
Hope this takes you away from reality for an hour. 

Love,
Z

Zimmer - Golden | May 13 Tape

Jellyfish" is a song that belongs on cassette, in a boombox, next to an occupied beach towel. In it, Dinner Set Gang embraces maximalism, combining bubbly pop melodies with lush layers of vocals. This juxtaposes the lyrics -- in Brian Wilson fashion -- which comment on escapism and the harmful consequences of avoiding unpleasant realities. In the words of Casey O'Brien, "It’s like being in warm ocean water with the person you love most in the world and still thinking about your car payment. A shadow around the light. It’s like spending your workday drafting your two-week notice but then coming home to a yellow dog who pisses on your shoes out of sheer joy. A sparkle in the darkness.
