A Midweek Playlist 03/04/13

Tidals is a collection of songs that I recorded at home this summer with the exception of the full band version of Designated Driver that was recorded by Jason Finkle with Ben Husk, Justin Mantell and Darin Thompson at the Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn, NY last fall. This summer has been a series of ups and downs and I got a new fuzz pedal. All of which can be heard in these songs.

Disposable America will be releasing Tidals as a limited edition (100) tape accompanied by digital download on 8/27.

BIOGRAPHY
Belfast-based four-piece Girls Names are a singular proposition, both geographically and psychically removed from their contemporaries at home and abroad. Released on 18th February, their second album The New Life is the sound of a band on the fringes striving to forge their own path, purposefully out of step - and time - with their surroundings. Weighed heavy with the grey landscapes of their hometown, The New Life is isolation laid bare, shot through with an undeterred sense of purpose and individuality.

The band’s performance at Primavera festival 2012 provided them with their first real opportunity to showcase the songs that were to comprise The New Life. The sunshine backdrop of the Spanish coastline offered a somewhat incongruous setting to the eerie dissonance of the new material, a kind of trial by fire metamorphosis rapturously received. Following a tour of Europe, the band returned home to record the album over a series of months. Having been produced by singer and songwriter, Cathal Cully, they’ve managed to capture that sense of otherness the performances at Primavera hinted at. The expansion to a four piece means the garage-clatter of the spritely pop songs of their debut have been replaced by a deeper, shadowy exercise in catharsis, driven by repetition, psychedelia and Dionysian crisis. And the record was born of a weighty concept too, as Cully explains:

“The New Life is not an over night change for Girls Names - just over two years in fact. Dead to Me literally was dead to us by the time it was committed to wax. But it's a learning curve. We started moving on as artists the moment we finished that recording session, maybe even before. Not to dwell on the past, The New Life is what happens when you reset everything back to zero and start again, but try to perfect. It starts back at zero the minute the needle hits the groove but we're also starting back from zero once the needle lifts at the end of the record. Ad infinitum. The New Life is what follows now.”

The album’s title track, and the first single to be taken from the album, is an ideal entry point. Just shy of 8 minutes long, it rotates around a hypnotic bass line, and in Cully’s evocation of renaissance, offers a perfect metaphor for the album as a whole. New single ‘Hypnotic Regression’ - available to stream here - reflects another side to the record. The reverb-heavy guitars and compelling melody are immediately memorable, but there are signs of experimentation, too; the white squall of the lead break; the uneasiness in the vocal echoes that furnish the verses. As such, The New Life, stands as a brave statement; the mark of the band untying themselves from the past and easing forth into the unknown.

The New Life will be released on February 18th on Tough Love (UK) and Slumberland (US).

Someone Else

Champion Records are proud to present the very first release on its new-look label; in the shape of ‘No Compromise’, the 3 track debut from the phenomenal DrDr. 

Hailing from Brighton, DrDr are a talented trio comprising of 2 producers and 1 female vocalist, ready to take the music world by storm with their unique vocally driven future bass sound. Having remixed the likes of Major Lazer, The xx and Kissy Sell-Out, they have already established a cult online following, with their tracks featuring in the Hype Machine charts last year. Their followers and fans are growing by the day and include respected artists such as Kissy and Major Lazer themselves.

Lead single ‘Addicted’ is an anthem in the making, with vocalist Donna Curson’s catchy hooks and unique tone complementing the driving future garage beats. Brimming with cross-over potential, it’s a tale of modern-day love and the conflicts of addiction in the early stages of a relationship that everyone experiences. Tracks ‘Disguise’ and ‘Goodbye’ follow up to complete the EP and maps the journey from start to finish.

A massive remix on lead single ‘Addicted’ come courtesy of highly revered Canadian producer Bwana.
