Room With A View

The Magic Gang ~ Shallow

"It's damn near impossible not to like "Rock n Roll Dreams". Don't Need No Melody

"Seriously terrific track from Sweden's Great Hare". Viva Indie Rock

"...the Scandi-rock perfection that Great Hare this time trend in. And without doubt, it’s such stuff as dreams are made on". Dots And Dashes

"...the lyrics here spell out their goal: "I was just another teen, with a head full of rock n roll dreams". Well they've followed their dreams and are now in a modern rock n roll band, and despite sticking to convention, one that knows how to knock out a tune too." The Sound of Confusion

"The Swedish have once again surpassed themselves and brought us some great indie rock!" believe in the music baron

"Les suédois de Great Hare propose le très bon single 'Rock n Roll Dreams'" Dans le mur ... du Son!

"This track is loud and guitar driven, reminiscent of Delta Spirit’s upbeat moments and jangly lead guitar that would feel right at home alongside Captured Tracks bands like Wild Nothing and Diiv. The vocals have the snarl of The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas and put a bit of attitude back into a genre that is overflowing with nice-guy soft tenor vocalists that would more easily lull you to sleep than cause you to trash a dressing room." Creator Collective

Rock n Roll Dreams

"At Fault" is a collaboration with my good friend Hiro Makino aka "There Is A Fox" (https://soundcloud.com/thereisafox). The song's early stages consisted of a re-arranged and re-sampled There Is A Fox original called "Bad Day." Hiro then graciously provided additional guitar tracks and layers to the sampled arrangement. We went back and forth adding and subtracting elements until we came out with this end result. This track was initially planned to be released with the new Spazzkid EP, but ended up wanting a life of its own. It stands for itself, pure and beautiful.

I really enjoyed producing this track and I thought I'd share it with you all. Cover artwork by the talented Inhyuk Jo (http://instagram.com/jojo1205#)

Following his acclaimed album Nonfiction and completed while touring across the US, The Range returns with a new EP Panasonic, out digitally and on vinyl on Donky Pitch March 24th, 2014.

Panasonic sees The Range further cement his position as one of electronic music’s most unique voices. Elements of light and dark meet dense orchestration, breakbeats and a fresh approach to sampling across all six tracks, which remain true to The Range’s love of R&B, Hip Hop and Drum & Bass channeled in a way that he has made his own.

After several EP’s across the last two years, The Range released his breakthrough album Nonfiction in October 2013 on Donky Pitch, receiving ‘Best New Music’ and a place in the Top 50 Albums of the year on Pitchfork. Further praise came from Billboard, XLR8R, Dazed & Confused, Line of Best Fit, Dummy and many others. Since its release, The Range has toured extensively across the US, with headlining shows and supporting slots for Thundercat and Metronomy, as well as a North American spring tour supporting CHVRCHES, a set at Primavera Festival in Barcelona and shows at this March's SXSW in Austin.

Bad Habits

Taken from the ‘HAND PRINTS’ EP, Out now
Available on iTunes here: smarturl.it/aeahpitunessc

As Elephants Are follow last October’s release of the “Crystal” single (BBC Radio 1 Zane Lowe ‘Next Hype’), with the brand new 4-track “Hand Prints” EP.

With past releases being described as everything from “sinister” (This Is Fake DIY), to “Life affirming” and “Magical” (the 405) to “Wonderfully dreamy” (Time Out London), EP title track ‘Hand Prints’ develops further the band’s ability to write nagging melodies wrapped in barbed wire rhythms. EP title track “Hand Prints” has already racked up over 25,000 plays on Soundcloud and plays on BBC Radio 1 from Huw Stephens and Jen & Ally as well as playlists on XFM and Amazing Radio. EP track “Went Wrong” has also given the band its first US radio play courtesy of KCRW.

On the live front, 2013 saw As Elephants Are play their debut slot at the Reading and Leeds Festival on the BBC Introducing Stage as well as appearing at Bushstock and Southsea Festival and supporting Half Moon Run. On 31st March 2014 the band completed their first headline UK Tour. The 10-date tour culminated in the band’s first proper London headline show at The Sebright Arms on 31st March. A Summer of festival appearances now beckons with the following shows already announced and more to follow:

3rd May	Canterbury, Sound City Project (w/Saint Raymond, Pixel Fix)
4th May	Stockton, Sunday Live (w/Wolf Alice, Circa Waves)
8th May	Brighton, The Prince Albert (w/New Desert Blues)
24th May	Barcelona, Spain, Razzmatazz

20th June Camden Crawl @ Camden Eye, London
21st June	Lainfest
