Foot Stompin' Fun with Fresh Grass 2014

The Carolina Chocolate Drops are leaders in the revival of the old-time black string band music of the Piedmont region of the Carolinas, proudly carrying on the tradition of such musicians as Joe, Odell and Nate Thompson, Dink Roberts, John Snipes, Libba Cotten, and Emp White. The group's members honed their skills under the tutelage of octogenarian fiddler Joe Thompson, one of the last black traditional string band players alive today. Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson both hail from the green hills of the North Carolina Piedmont, while Dom Flemons is native to Arizona. They have performed at festivals across the country, including the Philadelphia Folk Festival, globalFEST, the National Folk Festival, and the National Jug Band Jubilee, and in 2007 recorded Dona Got a Ramblin' Mind.

lyrics

There was,
There was a night 
I spent waiting for you.
Cadillac.
Cadillac
Headlight.

Nothing is left
in California.
Come again.
Come again.
Come again.

So if you don’t take me home, 
I’m alone at the side of the road.

And you won’t yell
If I don’t tell
That’s it’s true - 
You do you.

Nobody knew, we keep it so safe. 
One penny shoe across a carpet.
Me/you: the thought that maybe one day.
When you’re coming down, you’re in your coattails… 

No more
Heat.

Then you
Shut out the light 
That you traded for me.
Come again
Cadillac
Headlight.

There’s a thing,
There’s a thing that you do,
And I’ll tell it to you -
Oo but I can’t say now!

He’s a king
In a kingdom for two -
Yeah well maybe for you.

So you don’t take me home, 
Cuz you know that’s not the road.

And you won’t yell
If I don’t tell
That’s it’s true - 
You do you.

Nobody knew, we keep it so safe. 
One penny shoe across a carpet.
Me/you: the thought that maybe one day.
When you’re coming down, you’re in your coattails -
In the motel.

No more.

And I’ll sell you tale of a boy and a man.
Why do you do
What you do?

From the Near Negative EP available December 15th, 2017 from Western Vinyl

"Monday Give Me Monday" showcases Art Feynman's signature grooves, krautrock slink, and staccato bounce, all captured on his trusty four-track cassette recorder.

Earlier this summer, Art Feynman released his debut full-length album Blast Off Through the Wicker and toured the US with Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier. Pitchfork describes him as "a cool purveyor of coked-out dub-kraut." Consequence of Sound calls his debut a "funky, psychedelic slice of afro-pop" and Tiny Mix Tapes regards it as an "analog masterpiece."

In 2018 Art Feynman will return with his sophomore LP that takes us even further into his motorik and afrobeat inspired world of sound.

Pre-order Levitation here: http://smarturl.it/FlamingodsLevitation

International psych explorers Flamingods are back with brand new album ‘Levitation’ (3 May, Moshi Moshi Records) and have announced a run of dates including their biggest headline show to date at London’s Village Underground on 1 May.

The first single to be unveiled is ‘Marigold’, a multi-sensory psych-rock trip that finds  Flamingods on hair-raising form even by their own exuberant standards. ‘Marigold’ oozes fun out of every pore, a perfect antidote to turbulent times.

‘Levitation’ is inspired largely by the disco, funk and psychedelic sounds coming out of the Middle East and South Asia in the 70s, the album channels these influences through a vision soaked in mysticism, positivity and sun-drenched imagery.

‘Levitation’ is the follow-up to Flamingods’ breakthrough 2016 album ‘Majesty’ 
The band will be taking their incendiary live show to venues around the UK in April and May in support of the record, as well as a one-off-date supporting Omar Souleyman in Bristol January 31st. 

May album tour tickets go on sale Friday 17 January at 10am via

31st January - The Marble Factory (Supporting Omar Souleyman), Bristol
31 March – Beat Hotel, Marrakech
27 April – Are you Listening? Festival, Reading
1 May – Village Underground, London

15 May – Picture House Social, Sheffield

Pregoblin - Combustion

Holy Hive, the group that coined the genre Folk/Soul, comes out swinging with this monster Single. “Oh I Miss Her So” is pulled from their upcoming release Harping EP: a drop dead gorgeous tune of love and longing featuring the harping of Mary Lattimore. The tune serves as a testament to The Hive’s gift for songwriting and arrangement, taking the listener on a ride from the first notes of Paul’s falsetto to the outro featuring Dave Guy’s (The Roots) gorgeous trumpet solo. 

Taken from the upcoming Holy Hive EP "Harping".

Swamp Dogg - Sleeping Without You Is A Dragg

'Mantra Moderne' is a stunning, contemporary masterpiece that fuses Anatolian Psychedelia, Brazilian Tropicalia, 60’s European pop and American jazz. A must for fans of Khruangbin, Portishead, Arthur Verocai, Goat, Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, Os Mutantes, Cortex and co.

The duo is formed of Kit Martin, who lives between London and France and plays all instruments on the album, and Merve Erdem, vocalist and multi-disciplinary artist from Istanbul, now based in London. This is their debut album.

The album explores universal themes such as love, loss, decay, language and ideology, mixing three different languages: English, Turkish and French. Written and recorded by the duo - Kit composed all the songs and Merve wrote the lyrics - in rural France during 2018, each song was completed within a 12-hour window, pawning contemplation for spontaneity.

Dubbed by Kit and Merve as ‘lo-fi-hi-fi’ in reference to the high-end tube equipment that helped it find its way to 8-track cassette tape. The style owes its sound to narrow tape width, valve distortion, spring reverb, the mixture of high end gear with lo-fi equipment as well as a disregard to the norms of hi-fi studio techniques. All instruments were analogue and no samples were used. The instruments that are used range from tablas to darbukas, balalaikas to ouds, MS20 synths to Farfisa organs and a lot of cuica. The mixing techniques were done on-the-fly, tracking immediately to tape: compression, EQ, delay and reverb; meaning mixing could not be revisited!

The deluxe edition of ‘Mantra Moderne’ features two previously unreleased tracks - ‘Kozmos' and 'Rain (باران)’. It also includes remixes of album tracks from Baris K, Halal Cool J, and Natureboy Flako (who also contributes an unreleased cover version of ‘Senden Baska’).

Tracklist:
1) Senden Başka
2) Mantra Moderne
3) Tyranny 20
4) Pangea
5) Kuytu
6) Yanımda Kal
7) Yürüdüm, Büyüdüm, Çürüdüm
8) With A Sense Of Grace
9) Durma
10) Kozmos
11) Rain (باران)
12) Durma (Baris K Dub)
13) Senden Baska (Natureboy Flako Remix)
14) Kit Sebastian vs Halal Cool J
15) Senden Baska (Natureboy Flako Cover)
