Cindy Lee - Power and Possession

'British Warm' is taken from Normil Hawaiians' debut album 'More Wealth Than Money' (1982). Remastered and reissued this December through Upset The Rhythm.

Normil Hawaiians had a transformative 1982. With two 7” singles and a 12” EP under their belts they suddenly found themselves disillusioned with the increasingly generic sounds surrounding them, so they forced the hand of change and began reaching out with that very hand. The band’s true constant in Guy Smith soon found himself with a new crew of musicians, Simon Marchant, Noel Blanden and Mark Tyler. Normil Hawaiians’ communal take on post punk quickly sprouted leaves from its mouth, and began carving out a new furrow. Greater emphasis was awarded to improvisation within the group and as a result their songs embarked on longer, freer journeys towards the beaten bounds. They wanted these new songs to bear the weight of their new collective spirit so comfort zones had to be left behind. Tape loops, echo boxes, extended percussive sessions and duteous faith in the tones emanating from a particular old wah-wah pedal were all employed by Normil Hawaiians to stretch their sonic fabric into wild and redolent new dimensions.

With Illuminated Records interested in the band’s new visionary approach, Normil Hawaiians relocated from their South London dystopia to a rural idyll in the Welsh hills, determined to develop further this raw language for themselves. They booked into Foel Studios near Llanfair Caereinion for an extended period of time, set the tapes rolling and didn’t look back. They were somewhere they knew they could experiment; at a studio that understood the results would be uncertain. Dave Anderson, who managed and engineered at Foel was exactly the right person to work with them. Anderson had come from an experimental background himself, having played in Hawkwind and Amon Duul II. Normil Hawaiians were encouraged to explore their ideas beyond limitations with Anderson happy to leave the tape recording to capture their embryonic improvisations taking shape. Anderson even joined in on bass for several of those sessions as the ensemble strove to find its authentic voice, supplemented further when their cellist friend Klaus dropped by to spend a spell with them. 

At this very moment Normil Hawaiians existed solely for the music, living together in a small cottage in the studio’s shadow, sharing everything together and working long days to nurture and then burnish the music they had discovered between them. This is how the band’s debut album ‘More Wealth Than Money’ was formed, through trial and close listening, through cultivation and patient growth. Of course there were significant amounts of mushrooms involved too and several UFO sightings, but when the sheep began to march in time to the music Normil Hawaiians knew they were creating something unique.

On December 1st, 35 years since the album first appeared, Upset The Rhythm will be reissuing the newly re-mastered ‘More Wealth Than Money’ album, alongside a further full-length collection of demos and unreleased tracks from the album’s overlooked corners. Both the 2xCD and DLP versions also come with a booklet contextualizing the release, full of anecdotes and photos from all band members. This release follows on from 2015’s ‘Return Of The Ranters’, Normil Hawaiians’ lost final album from 1985, which ultimately saw the light of day in a different age through Upset The Rhythm too.

More Wealth Than Money

Normil Hawaiians - British Warm

We have been a fan of John Maus (@john-maus-official) for a long time, loved 'Love is Real' and listened to 'We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves' on @upset-the-rhythm on repeat,  so we are super excited for his new record out on @dominorecordco imprint @ribbonmusic and this mix that he has made especially for you.

Check the album here >>> http://link.bleep.com/John-Maus-Screen-Memories-LP

Armed with a keyboard loaded to the brim with melodies so catchy you will have to be admitted to quarantine to escape them, and more sing-along choruses than a karaoke machine on a Friday night, John Maus returns with his first new long player in six years - Screen Memories. A joyful return that further investigates the quasi-synth-pop and electrocuted soul that has made him a legend in our and many others' eyes and ears.

And yes, we Saw John Maus Live. 

(so should you)

Cindy Lee - What Can I Do

Silinder, from Dublin in the Rep. of Ireland has been producing electronic music for over 23 years now. 

'deep, dark & hypnotic with a melodic theme'

That's how Gavin describes his productions. Growing up on his parents & older brother's vast taste in music ranging from 70's Irish Folk & Disco to 80's Italo & Synth Pop. Gavin has ended up with a vast array of musical influences which are ever present in his productions to this day.

With releases on highly respected labels from around the world including Sudbeat, Proton Music, Jackpot Records & Disco Gecko Recordings to name a few and gaining massive support over the years from some of the biggest & most in demand dj's from around the world (Sasha, Hernan Cattaneo, Charlie May, Toby Marks (Banco De Gaia), John Digweed, Anthony Pappa, Fulvio Perniola (Fathers of Sound), Rusty A Egan (Visage),Nick Muir (Bedrock),Petar Dundov, Solomun, Nicole Moudaber, Armin Van Buuren, Barry Jamieson, James Zabiela, Tom Robinson (BBC), Tiesto & Henry Saiz), Silinder has become a highly regarded name in the electronic music scene.

'I never have a set agenda when working on music, although my music may have a dark undercurrent, I always try get a good uplifting groove going.'

Being a husband & father to three kids, Gavin finds his time in the studio a therapeutic session.

'It's my little getaway, a time for me to release all the mixed emotions of my everyday life into my music'

It's obvious to see & hear that Silinder is enjoying his time in the studio and with his productions 
going from strength to strength, we are seriously looking forward to hearing what 2024 has in store...
