Speedy Wunderground release their fourth single, ‘Keep Your Eyes Open 

Boy’ by Scotti Brains on 2nd September

Scotti Brains is label chief and producer Dan Carey, best friend and fellow producer / 

recording artist Oli Bayston & Beth Buxton.

Taking their name from a shared love of San Franciscan psych band Bunny Brains and Dan’s 

cat Scotti (who coincidentally is prone to close his eyes and ‘dance’ upon hearing Bunny 

Brains), Scotti Brains was initially a project born out of early morning recording sessions 

following parties at Dan’s South London studio. Tradition dictated that the insane / furious / 

psych / punk / noise results featured Beth screaming over the tracks - major labels seemed 

unimpressed so a Speedy Wunderground release beckoned.

Having a full day rather than a few snatched hours to record, Scott Brains’ debut single for 

Speedy Wunderground is slightly more accessible than their previous late-night-output. A 

perfect summer-song, in the great Speedy Wunderground tradition ‘Keep Your Eyes Wide 

Open Boy’ again features the Swarmatron but this time a lunch-break was allowed – the boss’ 

prerogative.

Recording Beth’s ‘vocal’ over the phone due to ‘relationship-problems’ (Oli & Beth are 

partners who split up during the recording of the single but now happily back together), 

the track also features an ominous and anonymous ‘keep your eyes wide open boy’ vocal 

snatch taken from a tape Dan had bought along with a vintage 1950’s tape recorder in the 

Oxfam shop on Streatham High Road. The tapes featured recordings of the owner and his 

friends ‘chatting’ and at one point a woman repeating ‘keep your eyes wide open boy’, a 

phrase that was to provide the title for the single.

‘Keep Your Eyes Open Boy’ is a summer warning to all who think it’s all OK (it might not be).

As well as the previous one, i wasn't able to finish this track as my apartment was burglarised on October 2020.
Around July 2020, i've randomly sent some music to a dear friend of mine: Simon Heah, because he wanted to hear it.
Here is what's left, as well as other lo-fi recordings that i will only share on Soundcloud.
The thieves stole my musical equipment, my computer and the usbs where i kept the projects at the time, gladly i was able to send some audio files to Simon.
There is no reason for me to holding on to it, so here it is...

This track was recorded mainly in the summer of 2019, rearranged around October and November 2019, in my home studio, which at the time was based in Wimbledon.

Following up their *very* well-received 2021 self-titled debut album, Chime School are back with more perfect pop, this time on the most pop of formats, the 7" single. "Coming To Your Town" was recorded while sick with COVID and rather fittingly is a feverish attempt to describe the reactionary political moment that seemed to infect the Bay Area during the pandemic. Leave it to Chime School to pen a classic 12-string jangle pop tune about the breakdown of civil society. It's not all cats and motorbikes chez Chime School! On the flip side we have the band's lovely Brighter/Field Mice-esque take of Buzzcocks' "Love You More." Originally released on the Oakland Weekender Buzzcocks covers cassette, it's available on vinyl here for the first time.

Do You Know?

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.

Speedy Wunderground – A ten-point plan

1. Speedy Wunderground is a new label which begins on February 25th 2013 with the release of “I Go Out” by Steve Mason & Emiliana Torrini.

2. Speedy Wunderground is the idea of producer Dan Carey. Dan will produce all releases. All records will be recorded at Dan’s South London studio. Dan has previously produced Franz Ferdinand, Bat For Lashes, TOY, Willy Mason, Django Django, Emiliana Torrini, The Kills, Chairlift and Steve Mason.

3. Recording of all records will be done in one day and finish before midnight. The recordings will be a snapshot of the day. Mixing will be done the day following the recording, also in one day only. This will prevent over-cooking and ‘faff’.

4. There will be no lunch break during recording and mixing days.

5. Overdubs will be kept to a minimum allowing the recordings to be free of clutter.

6. The recordings will appear in limited runs of two hundred and fifty 7”s, which will be in the shops as soon as humanly possible following their completion.

7. The core of each song will be a live take recorded in the dark with smoke and lazers and somewhere on each record the Swarmatron – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJyub78p924 - will make an appearance.

8. Speedy Wunderground work quickly. There will be as a little delay as possible between recording and release. Speedy Wunderground records will not sit on the shelf gathering dust waiting to be released.

9. Speedy Wunderground will release each year’s recordings as a compilation at the end of the year.

10. Speedy Wunderground Records will not be slow.
