Help Frog PlayList

In The Hollows is Nat Baldwin's followup to 2011's People Changes.  Despite his busy schedule recording and touring as the bass player for Dirty Projectors, Nat found time to write and record his most soulful and ambitious collection of songs to date.  After recording the initial tracks at Machines With Magnets in Pawtucket, RI, Nat recruited Otto Hauser for drums and percussion, and Rob Moose and Clarice Jensen to write string arrangements.  Discussing the album's production, Nat says "I wanted to achieve a consistency throughout that my past albums have lacked.  I wanted the strings to add to the mournful quality of the songs, weaving their way through the sonic terrain, providing emotional emphasis, but also leaving necessary amounts of space.  Albums by Nick Drake, Judee Sill, Joanna Newsom, Antony & the Johnsons, and Bill Callahan, to name a few, provided inspiration in balancing that intimacy with minimal, but powerful, adornments."   

Much of the album was written while Nat was training for a marathon at his home in Maine.  According to Nat, "I had a pretty rigorous and consistent routine of running/working out early in the morning, and working on music all afternoon/evening.  I also started reading obsessively during this time, as I wasn't moving around much after the morning marathon training.  Some of the songs were inspired by books I was reading, and some were inspired by my lifestyle."  Blending autobiographical details with fiction, the songs cover a wide range of topics including boxing, drowning, bodybuilding, target practice, will power, Steve Prefontaine, competition, separation, isolation, devastation, manipulation, conflagration, intoxication, and suicide. 

Immersive, athletic, and often profound, In the Hollows represents his clearest and most consistent album-length statement, melodically, structurally, and lyrically.  Nat explains that "I hope it is as unsettling as it is beautiful.  I want it to make people feel things they can’t describe."

HELP7 - FROGS 2016

Hold the course
Accelerate
Ignore the signal flares
Anomalies, distorted through...

These waves frown over us
And one day, they'll take hold of us
And crush us into shore
Inanimate return to form

It's okay, it's okay, it's just a waiting game
There's nothing left to do but watch the tide

Hoard those wonders left in place
Of troubles we've thrown overboard
(We know what we need)
It's all right there ahead of us
Our trust, in lonely eyes
(We know what we need)
And nothing more
These lonely eyes...

Less blue than it used to be
These churning waters still run deep
A lovely, violent sea
Its drowning pulse comforts me

It's okay, it's okay, it's just a waiting game
There's nothing left to do but watch the tide

We'll never take the time to save it
We'll never take the time to save it
We'll never take the time to save it
We'll never take the time to save it

Less blue than it used to be
These churning waters still run deep
A lovely, violent sea
Its drowning pulse comforts me

It's okay, it's okay, it's just a waiting game
There's nothing left to do but watch the tide

We want it all
We've got it all
We want it all
We've got it all
We want it all
We've got it all
We want it all
We've got it all

These Waves

Out now on vinyl & digital release - lnk.to/CRM205

Berlin-based house and techno wizard Emanuel Satie brings together a plethora of talent for Addis Ababa on Crosstown Rebels. Ninetoes, Mowgan and Matador all join the party to complete this epic EP.

Satie says of the release that it’s “an homage to worldwide collaboration. While travelling through Ethiopia I recorded traditional musicians, brought the sounds home to Berlin and made electronic tracks out of them with my friends Ninetoes and Mowgan”. 

EP opener Injera, produced with Ninetoes, is a mysterious and bumpy roller. Argew Neka, made in collaboration with Mowgan, adds tribal song and brings a delicate yet hypnotic groove to the table. Matador’s remix of the latter turns the track completely on its head layering futuristic elements over a harder beat.

Emanuel Satie’s career has blown up since he came to our attention in 2016 with his rework of Late Nite Tuff Guy’s remix of I Get Deep, which hit the top spot in the Beatport charts. He’s won the coveted Best Producer award in the DJ Awards and had a string of releases signed to impressive imprints including; Saved Records, Moon Harbour and Knee Deep In Sound. This year saw his track Don’t Forget To Go Home given the accolade of Essential New Tune from Radio 1 tastemaker Pete Tong at Miami Music Week.
