ACE TRACKS FROM GREAT MUSICIANS

You created a charmed space.
Bye old man x

Open The Gates

I'm pretty sure it was here.
you and a quiz machine and beer
when I fell fell fell for you
Well I could see us in your eyes. I needed a stronger alibi
then I fell fell fell for you
When we give. Then we get. Yeh we all said things that we never meant
But since you ask. Yeh I'd go back.
And fall for you . Again

The 81

The Danish-born Berlin-based singer-songwriter Agnes Obel landed a pan-European hit with her disarmingly beautiful debut album ‘Philharmonics’. After seven weeks at #1 in Denmark and hitting the Top 10 in both France and the Netherlands, the deluxe double CD version of the album will be released in the UK on May 2nd on Play It Again Sam.

Entirely self-produced and performed, ‘Philharmonics’ opens with the instrumental piano piece ‘Falling, Catching’ which sets the tone for Obel’s classically inspired songwriting. The next track, ‘Riverside’, flows with a depth of emotion embedded with further character by Obel’s love of combining her sweet melodies with carefully considered lyrics that evoke the song’s innate sound. ‘Just So’ works a similar trick, its blend of melancholy and optimism perfectly encapsulated into the opening line ‘Black turns beat me bright.’ Elsewhere, with ‘On Powdered Ground’, ‘Brother Sparrow’ or her interpretation of John Cale’s ‘Close Watch’, she melds different moods and atmospheres, all indelibly linked by the brittle majesty of her music.

The deluxe edition of the album adds a second CD featuring six tracks recorded at Obel’s recent acclaimed residency of sold-out shows in Copenhagen and five instrumental piano performances.

As a child, Obel was subconsciously guided into music by the influence of her mother and father, who would play and listen to a blend of the classical greats, folk music like Jan Johansson and the timeless sounds of Roy Orbison. After discovering the likes of Portishead and Elliott Smith as a teenager, she began writing her own piano-based songs, but it wasn’t until she moved to Berlin in 2006 that she began recording an album.

Many of the songs on ‘Philharmonics’ have subconsciously found an audience through their use in film and television. ‘Just So’ soundtracked a Deutsch Telekom advert, which gave Obel the unusual combination of having a song that everyone knew while having almost no profile as an artist herself. But soon opportunities presented themselves and continue to do so. One of Obel’s earliest breaks came when three of her demos featured in cult director Thomas Vinterberg’s film Submarino – ‘Riverside’ earned her a Robert Award (Denmark’s equivalent of the Oscars) for Best Song of the Year. Her music also reached a bigger North American and international audience when ‘Riverside’ was used in Grey’s Anatomy.

iTunes extended Obel’s profile further by requesting an exclusive release of ‘Philharmonics’ and highlighting Obel on the home page of their North American website. The attention of the press has been consistently positive with Vogue and culture magazine Telerama producing in-depth features in France, while Obel will also feature in both the North American and European issues of TIME.

MEADOW LANE
When I write your name
Well all the ds and then the bs they all just look the same
Remember Meadow Lane?
When the flat across the road from us was burning down in flames

	I know I'm not the first
	I just hope I'm not the worst
	and I will cling to days when I would wake to see you wearing my T shirt

These threads can disappear
And aIl I have to live with is this buzzing in my ear
A place where sadness goes.
I need to pack away this like you packed away your clothes

	Holding your coatsleeves
	Hanging on tightly
	Let me down gently   please deborah

It's tough -  to call, I cant decide on keeping right or giving up at all
You've been hard - to top. I always said you're so well read, You told me that you're not

	Alone at the bus-stop
	What-if-it-had-worked-out?
	I still remember days when you would say you were so happy you could burst 
	oh deborah

A late-stage rehearsal straight to cassette for reference. Recorded shortly before going into the studio, probably at John Henry rehearsal rooms. This is Mark on guitar, Lee on drums, and myself on piano and organ (the bass was always addressed in the studio once the basic track was down, which is why it doesn't feature here).
It's best to take the 8 minutes out and listen to the end, preferably in headphones, and in a quiet space,

For his blogs 4th birthday Mr @Peenko asked 4 bands/artists to record a new song, which had to be strictly no more than 2 minutes long. Then he had a proper artist provide some beautiful artwork. He put them together as an extremely limited set of flexi postcards which are now available here:

They look beautiful huh?

They all sound great too as they were all mastered by Jonathan Huxtable of Small Fish Recordings.

All My Days Are Shorter

Once there were three.

The Son(s) released their self-titled album with Olive Grove in 2011 to much critical acclaim (thank you Drowned in Sound). 

The subsequent ten track mini LP, ‘Leviathan', recorded overwinter in an empty Edinburgh tenement, is a thing of real beauty and includes The List single of the month ‘If I Hear You Talk Apostrophes Again’ - “untrammelled DIY glam-strop” - (kudos Nicola Meighan).

The Son(s) second album, 'The Things I Love Are Not at Home' followed in 2014, which included collaborations with SAY Award winner RM Hubbert and Pete MacDonald (Randolph's Leap/State Broadcasters) and single ‘Death, With Castanets’ - “a giddy, all-too-brief slice of bookish, psychedelic pop”.

In 2018 & 19 a new line up of The Son(s) played several low-key shows supporting the likes of Kathryn Joseph, Randolphs Leap & RM Hubbert in Glasgow & Edinburgh - road testing a new set of songs. These songs are due to make up a new Son(s) LP, due to trouble your ears sometime before the apocalypse hits in the early 2020’s.
 

The List - "Grammatical funk, cross-dressing blues and skewed-folk despotism never sounded so full of the joys of spring" 

Daily Record - “So well crafted and honey-dipped in harmonies that it's hard to stay tethered to your home"

The Herald - “A psychedelic-folk wonderland, with vocals gorgeously behind the beat and music intrepidly ahead of the pack.”

Drowned in Sound - "...like the menopause in surround sound..”
