Quiet Marauder - MEN - Volume 1 - Pretty Girls Are (Pretty) (feat. My Name Is Ian)

Powered by the dual songwriting engine room of Simon M. Read and Jonathan Day, Quiet Marauder are a loose collective of musicians all contributing flourishes of cornet, melodica, guitar, piano and kitchen utensil percussion. I Want A Moustache, Dammit sees the band in jovial, bombastic form, describing the steps needed to imitate alpha male icon Burt Reynolds' facial hair. 

Inspired by Harmony Korine's 1997 art-house movie, Gummo, the single concerns itself with masculine discontent, and the desire to become more overtly 'manly'. In this instance, this involves chewing through a paper face of Burt Reynolds to create one's own 'moustache'.

Conformist releases his new album ‘Paid To Fake It physically on Monday the 6th of August it's available to download via all good digital outlets now. This follows on from the well-received single; the crunchy dynamics of ‘Savages Go Modern’, which resulted in a BBC, live session and extensive coverage. 

28-year-old Michael Simmons is the man behind Conformist, hailing originally from the picturesque village of Dale in Pembrokeshire. Michael's musical inspiration quickened with a move to Cardiff's beckoning City lights.
Conformist expertly manipulates and reassembles intricate ultra modernistic layers of sounds, sampling from cable TV shows, shopping channels, talk shows, pornos, the dregs of TV, hacking, editing to extreme levels of complexity, cutting and pasting together a complex patch work quilt of filthy noise the soundtrack to the cities seedy post-apocalyptic consumer obsessed underbelly!

‘Paid to Fake It’ is an extraordinary album of post-modern dexterity. From opener and first single the crunchy 808 dance rhythms of ‘Savages Go Modern’, through ‘Ladybug Ladybug’ that’s bewildering use of cut up menacing apocalyptic samples (“Everybody’s Dead”) are driven by thudding beats, post punk guitars and futuristic off the wall Art of Noise-esque soundboard hits. To the deconstructed dub step and movie quotes of menacing album track ‘Post Death Sales Spike’ to the nightmarish arcade sounds of ‘Mr Grosse and Mr Playfair’, Conformist presents you with his enthralling but dizzy rush of ideas and noises. Conformist’s glum swatches of electronic sound offer a neat line in humour too, morally bereft and cutting to the punch line, exposing cliché and avoiding it. Thus his work is built for the dance floor as much as it is for thought provoking head moving headphone sessions in the dead of night. 

 In the past Conformist has gained airplay on Steve Lamacq's on R1 and Adam Walton's Radio Wales show and earned the praise of local tome The Miniature Music Press and the influential Careless Talk Costs Lives magazine.Whisperin and Hollderin called his work 'audacious and brilliant' while the Daily Post hadn't heard anything this weird since 'Aphex Twin'.

Conformist is also the driving force behind Cardiff's newest audio production facility, Smash Mastering, offering mastering, mixing and acclaimed remixes. See his work on local boys Kutosis' track 'Islands' and Bury Me in LA's 'Young Lust Seekers' these served as a taster for his recent single 'Savages Go Modern' and the astounding full long player ‘Paid To Fake It’ out this August!

Edinburgh-based folk-blues collective King Eider debut self released single 'Drink Me Dry' comes out on the 10th of June 2013.

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/drink-me-dry-single/id645480783


King Eider's debut single 'Drink Me Dry' is the first taster of King Eider's work a winding evocative late night bar lament to love lost, tumbling through haunting three part harmonies, acoustic motifs, bass and shuffling drums, through to a wonderful Neil Young-esque harmonica solo.

A talented five-piece hailing from Edinburgh, King Eider craft a modern sound rooted in stripped back musicianship and classic folksy influences. From the loud to the soft, the haunting to the upbeat, the harmonic strength of King Eider lies in their hearty concoction of late night three-part harmonies, acoustic guitar, bass, drums and classical strings.

King Eider have a resounding live history having plotted a route through shows in England and Scotland, including notable gigs at Edinburgh’s Sneaky Pete’s for Communion Records, and London’s Hootenanny. Backed up with live recordings and an encouraging introduction to a recording career through projects at Bainbridge Music, Edinburgh. 

Live Shows:

18th May with Woodenbox at Electric Circus.

11th June 'Drink Me Dry' single release party at Voodoo Rooms

King Eider - Drink Me Dry (Single)

he Machismo's is the solo project of Sam Marsh. 

Having gathered critical plaudits as singing drummer from legendary early 90s alt-rockers Jacob's Mouse, Sam began writing and recording as The Machismo's (misplaced apostrophe intentional) around the time of that band's breakup in 1995. 

Self-producing and performing everything himself, Sam recorded two full albums on his home cassette portastudio. A band was loosely put together for live duties, but by the turn of the millenium, Sam had moved on to other projects and The Machismo's albums were put to rest, unreleased. 

Jump forward almost 20 years and Sam suddenly realises that these recordings were BRILLIANT. Whilst not an obvious sequel to Jacob's Mouse's later, deranged output, The Machismo's exude a quietly adventurous spirit, and showcase Sam as a bold, accomplished songwriter, performer and producer. Like Jacob's Mouse, Sam's work as The Machismo's is almost impossible to pigeonhole - you could make comparisons with other singular DIY acts (Guided By Voices? Bright Eyes? Sufjan Stevens? Yo La Tengo?) but these recordings hold their own. 

The Machismo's 1996 debut album, 'Good Things About To Happen', will be released Worldwide via Sturm Und Drang Recordings on Monday 4th August 2013.
