The June Brides are back again with two Phil Wilson songs ("Being There," "She Seems Quite Free") plus guitarist Simon Beesley's "I'm Undone." The EP sees a return to the band’s original harder-edged sound, following acclaimed 2012 single Moon/Cloud (“Glorious” Sabotage Times (UK), “...a stunning comeback” Critical Mob (USA), “...Song of the summer by a mile” PennyBlackMusic (UK), “Wonderful” The Big Takeover (USA)). On this recording original Brides Phil Wilson, Simon Beesley, Frank Sweeney and Jon Hunter have been joined by Steve Beswick (drums) and Arash Torabi (bass).

Background: The June Brides are true indie innovators, with fans including Manic Street Preachers, Morrissey and Belle and Sebastian. In the mid-1980s they produced five singles/EPs and one LP, There Are Eight Million Stories, which reached no. 1 in the UK Independent Albums Chart. They appeared on the cover of NME, toured with The Smiths and were cited by Morrissey as his favourite group of 1985. After The June Brides broke up in 1986, Phil Wilson cut two solo singles for Creation Records. His final single of the 1980s, Better Days was a collaboration with Primal Scream guitarist Andrew Innes on Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne’s Caff Records.

After 20 years as a civil servant, Phil Wilson returned to music in 2008. He has since recorded several solo singles and the lauded God Bless Jim Kennedy LP to excellent reviews from David Quantick (Uncut), Gavin Martin (Daily Mirror), Stewart Lee (Times) and Andrew Perry (Mojo) plus three Marc Riley BBC sessions. Performances in the UK, Europe and USA have included Indietracks, the Port Eliot Festival, and the San Francisco and Madrid Popfests. When Phil was rejoined by original guitarist Simon Beesley in 2011 it became natural to revert to the “June Brides” name.

Color It In

Taken from their critically acclaimed third album ‘Everyone Was A Bird’, ‘Radar’ is the new single from Grasscut, the duo of Andrew Phillips and Marcus O’Dair. 

Literally, and metaphorically, about the search for illumination ‘Radar’ was written by Phillips on a clear cold night in a forest in mid Wales, whilst lights from both across the estuary and the ancient stars above flickered through the trees, and borrows its title and chorus line ‘the world is dark as radar’ from American poet George Oppen. 

Featuring propulsive drums, intense Moog bass, clipped pizzicato strings that ping like photons from Geese and vocals from Elisabeth Nygård and Andrew Phillips, Radar is a highlight of an album described as “inspiring “ by The Wire and “thoughtful and beautifully reflective" by Electronic Sound.

Accompanying the original is a remix by noted New Zealand born composer and violinist, and former member of the Durutti Column, John Metcalfe who carefully deconstructs the song, teasing apart each individual element allowing us to immerse ourselves in each individual note.

PRESS PRAISE FOR ‘EVERYONE WAS A BIRD’

"As much an all-encompassing art piece as it is a pop record, EWAB would make the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon flat on your back at a sun-strafed festival this summer" - Q

"Inspiring" - The Wire

“Thoughtful and beautifully reflective" - Electronic Sound

“Beautifully simple music – as experimental as it’s pop-oriented” - The Irish Times 

“it’s all as accessible as the countryside, with a sweeping sense of the arcadian in the grandly arranged Cinematic Orchestra- style climax to ‘Fallswater’, and ‘Red Kite’s nostalgic heightening flights of fancy.” - Uncut
 
"Their work is always extraordinary, slightly challenging, and always rewarding" - Tom Robinson, BBC 6music
 
'Really beautiful, I love it... Gorgeous.' – Stuart Maconie, BBC 6music
 
“by doing more with less, Everyone Was A Bird soars” - The Quietus
 
“An organic, naturalistic sound, a kind of galloping, robust folk music, a summoning of Romantic sentiment through modern orchestration” - The 405
