Pre order ltd edition 7" flexizine: http://artishardrecords.limitedrun.com/products/568445?preview=true

Back in 2014 we put out a series of flexizines (a 7" flexidisc record accompanied by a 20 page zine) from the likes of Fear of Men, The Death of Pop and White Sands. We're delighted to say we're bringing the format back whilst also welcoming The Orielles to the family!

Hailing from Halifax, the Orielles formed after sisters Esme and Sid Hand-Halford met Henry Wade at a house party. Learning to play their instruments as they went along, the band have spent the past couple of years honing their craft with a string of singles and appearances at the likes of Live at Leeds, Festival no. 6, swn and Dot to Dot.

We're delighted to be releasing their new EP Jobin, three tracks of infectious surf pop influenced by the band's love of riot grrrl and all things C.A. The EP opens with lead track 'Jobin' - a barnstorming amalgamation of whoops and sweet summer melodies and the rest of the EP follows in a similarly seasonal fashion.

The EP is set to be released on 1st April on ltd edition flexizine; a 7" flexidisc featuring lead track Jobin, a 20 page colouring book zine illustrated by the awesome Alex Gamsu Jenkins and a download code for the full 3 track EP.

6th March - Birmingham, Actress & Bishop 
12th March - The Maze, Nottingham 
25th March - Manchester, Soup Kitchen 
26th March - Tooting & Tram, London

B Boys // Energy (Official Single)

On a ride to there cronies/kronies


candid nights makes us feel nice
one trick only to stop your loneliness
and this heaven is overwhelmingly concise
one trick ponies on a ride to there kronies, 

youve got one

we've all got
one trick ponies on a ride to there kronies
we've got one trick only and it feels nice
you can see it was meant for me

I was born
I was there
I was happy
pay your ticket fares and move on
youve got one

In your dirty sunday best
which you use to invest into a dream
or something in between
and for the fourth time this week
its fell down at our feet and we can see
that it was meant to be

this is an excursion boiling in our burdens
one trick ponies on a ride to there kronies

One Trick Ponies

'Let Your Dogtooth Grow' was once again recorded and produced by the legend that is Marta 'bueno' Salogni. It features our first (but certainly not last) outing with the Mini Moog, which oscillates freely throughout the closing minute of the track. Furthermore, the outro to the song becomes a melting-pot of our influences, combining guitar riffs reminiscent of Turkish psychedelic musician, Mustafa Ozkent with the Moog Synth riff which is redolent of Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love'. 
 
Taking influence from Lanthimos’ abstruse, fictitious world where kids are brainwashed into thinking that they are confined within the boundaries of their household until their ‘Dogtooth’ falls out, the lyrics discuss how in reality, people our age face similar (albeit less bizarre) forms of oppression. 
Whilst we’re much more than a stones throw away from knocking our teeth out in order to break from the omnipresent restrictions us teenagers and young adults face, it’s still something that really bugs us as a ‘young band’! When are you gonna let us out of the house?

Let Your Dogtooth Grow is the first single from The Orielles' debut album 'Silver Dollar Moment' set for release in February 2018 on Heavenly Recordings.

America’s Sick

Out April 9, 2021 on Slumberland Records/Tough Love Records.

From the many musical lives of artist Glenn Donaldson emerges The Reds, Pinks and Purples, a project that sifts out the purest elements of pop music and in the process chronicles the point of view of an assiduous songwriter. His new album "Uncommon Weather" is both an elusive portrait of San Francisco -- during one of its fluctuations as an untenable place for musicians and artists -- and also a self-portrait of a songwriter who has dispatched another treasured collection of timeless sounding DIY-pop songs.

Self-recorded and mostly self-performed, the music on "Uncommon Weather" continuously reckons with the influence of The Television Personalities' Dan Treacy, whose own forays into drum-machines, echo, and reverb in the early 1990s is an important reference point. Paul Weller, Robert Smith, and Sarah Records also come to mind. The album arrives with grateful timing, quick on the heels of the recent EP "You Might Be Happy Someday" and alleviating, for a brief window at least, whatever it is that keeps us coming back to this elemental music. Donaldson imagines his listeners are just like himself: fascinated and addicted to the spiritual power of uncomplicated pop classics.
