Crazy Now

The crate-digging credentials of Psychemagik’s Danny McLewin are well established. Even so, he’s excelled himself with the first release on Spacetalk, a joint venture with Leng Records’ Simon Purnell and Paul Murphy.

The trio have successfully worked together a lot over the last five years, with Purnell and Murphy releasing a string of superb collections, compiled by McLewin. All three men were keen to continue this partnership, and have founded Spacetalk to re-release long forgotten, little-known or overlooked music, as well as previously unheard archive material from some of the artists involved.

The label’s first release is as obscure as they come. Morrison Kincannon’s To See One Eagle Fly is stupidly rare, having initially been released by its’ creators as a private press record during the early 1970s. The song was inspired by both the plight of the bald eagle, and the ongoing Watergate scandal, and was written by Norman Morrison during his senior year in High School. After friend and song writing partner Terry Kincannon worked some more on the composition, the duo recorded it with a hastily arranged band that included a number of former High School friends.

For the Spacetalk re-issue – the first commercial release of the sought-after track – To See One Eagle Fly has been re-mastered from the original 1970s multi-track master tapes, which were baked and digitised before being worked on.

To say that the song has never sounded better is an understatement. The track’s rich, low-slung space-rock groove has never sounder warmer, whilst the accompanying funk-rock guitar riffs, stretched-out organ chords and hazy vocals simply sparkle.

On the flip, Paul Murphy has donned his now familiar Mudd alias to present a specially extended remix, constructed utilising the multi-track master tapes unearthed by Norman Morrison. Effortlessly emphasizing the undulating groove, fluid organs, cascading violin parts and Terry Kincannon’s killer guitar solos, Murphy’s brilliantly judged extension rises to an emphatic conclusion using elements from the recording session previously unheard on the original version. 

Over the weeks and months to come, you can expect more high-grade material from Spacetalk, including more unreleased material from Morrison Kincannon, a reissue of an ‘80s single from Avant Garde (with accompanying remix by Mudd and Jaz & Party Dad), and a killer compilation of soul, funk and disco from esteemed French crate-digger Jeremy Underground. Oh, and plenty more besides.

William Tyler "Kingdom of Jones"

BRAND NEW VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kkeLYKR5wY&feature=youtu.be

Taken from forthcoming album 'Carved From Tides' 
Preorder available - www.messagetobears.com

Press contact - jeff.schofield@typepr.com

'On Message To Bears’ fourth LP Carved From Tides Jerome Alexander throws all caution to the wind and delivers an experience emotive enough to tug at every fibre in a heartstring. Released on 1st July, Carved From Tides sees Jerome eschew the arbitrary boundaries that have been erected between synthetic music and music made on more traditional instruments. Lead single ‘I’ll Lead You There’ is exemplary. Starting with a gloomy acoustic arpeggio that wouldn’t be out of place in the hands of Elliott Smith or Nick Drake, its folky textures are soon penetrated by a thudding beat over which collaborator https://soundcloud.com/will_samson lends his tender reverberating vocals. The heart-wrenching mood of the arrangement lends it a depth of feeling that characterises the whole LP.'

“angels of light have your souls in a vice / we want to be free / we want to be loved / we want to be kissed from heaven above” - David West, Dream on Dreamer
                
When Tough Love first began putting out records, one of the guiding motivations was to release music that sounds like the music David West makes. We didn’t know it at the time, because we hadn’t yet heard of him. It’s funny how the very thing you’re looking for falls into your lap. If you don’t already know of David, and the various guises he performs under, then I’m a little envious, for you have a lot to discover for the first time. On 5th August, Tough Love will release Peace or Love, the second album to be issued under his own name. That can be either your starting point, or your continuation down a road.

The facts: Peace or Love is the follow-up to USA/Australia-based musical artist David West's 2015 cassette release, Drop Out Of Collage. Peace or Love is a collection of songs stemming from wild and free bedroom four-track cassette recordings and personal hard drive sample raiding, with contributions from various musical friends in Perth, Western Australia and SF/LA, California. West draws inspiration from free-thinking artists of the past and present on this polyphonic platter, from soft indie strumming and free soundscapes, to disco and soul-pop. West currently plays in the guitar pop band Rat Columns, synth-pop project Liberation and post-punk trio Rank/Xerox, and has been in varied acts such as Lace Curtain, Burning Sensation, Total Control and Whalehammer.

If you were feeling particularly grand, you could say that David West has created his own ecology, or you could just say he’s a very busy man. I told David over email that Peace or Love feels like an album that was made specifically for me. His reply? “It is for YOU. And YOU. And YOU. And YOU…Peace or love is the same thing - you want to be free and you want to be loved....but you gotta choose one” This is music from the margins that deserves a place in the middle of anyone's heart. 

“it's peace or love baby / you said it before / that you want it all / it's peace or love, baby” - David West, Peace or Love
