Anjunadeep is excited to welcome back Moon Boots (Pete Dougherty) for his playful new single ‘Come Back Around’ - the first taste of a third studio album rumoured for an early 2023 release.

A collaboration with lead vocalist Clementine Creevy of LA rock band Cherry Glazerr, ‘Come Back Around’ tells the story of a nostalgic lover playfully calling their crush back to them. A winning combination of funked-out melodies, fast-paced breaks, and Creevy’s cheeky vocal, ‘Come Back Around’ signals a strong return for Moon Boots to Anjunadeep following two exceptional albums - Bimini Road and First Landing - which have accrued over 101 million streams. In an unlikely yet colourful collaboration, Creevy electrifies Dougherty’s arrangement, resulting in a catchy single that straddles the worlds of pop, indie, and dance. On the collab, Dougherty says:

“I got in touch with Clem after hearing her on tracks with Cherry Glazerr and I was immediately drawn to her voice - she has these amazing, gentle melodies, but sings them with a rawness that grabs you. We got together late last Spring when she happened to be in NYC, and we wrote the song in 2 creative sessions. This is the mark of the next musical chapter for me and I hope everyone enjoys it!"

Championed by the likes of Annie Mac, Diplo, Danny Howard, and The Blessed Madonna, Moon Boots has established himself as a trailblazer of R&B-infused dance music. Having remixed the likes of Dua Lipa, Robyn, and Nile Rodgers, Dougherty’s production prowess is in high demand, whilst his eclectic DJ sets and live shows (including a full live band) have seen him tour the world, with recent headline shows sold out across North America and Australia.

Moon Boots’ latest with Cherry Glazerr demonstrates his capacity to experiment and have fun. The LA-based rock band has seen great success on the indie circuit, being championed by Pitchfork, NME, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, and DIY magazine, and most recently supporting Alt J, Portugal. The Man and Jack White on their North American Tours. 

The single is accompanied with a lively music video filmed at Coney Island, featuring Dougherty and Creevy. Directed by Kenneth Bachor, the video is colourful and carefree, embodying the track’s flirtatious nature. On the collaboration and music video, lead singer Clem said:

“Pete cracks me up. He’s such a funny dude and I really love how he made this song so uplifting, and yet groovy and soulful at the same time. He has a vibrant spirit. We went to Coney Island to shoot the video and it was my first time there, so I was dancing like a little crazy woman just galavanting around the boardwalk blasting our song. My favourite moment was Ken, Pete and I squeezing ourselves into the teacups ride for the last shot- three grown adults in the tea cups were kind of insane but beautiful.”

‘Come Back Around’ lands July 22 on Anjunadeep. The music video will premiere at 1pm EDT on Moon Boots’ YouTube channel: https://anjunadeep.co/mbcba

Release Date: November 11th, 2016

Istanbul has a deep, layered history. From its beginnings as a fishing village to one of the pillars of the Roman world. The final stop on the Silk Road. The centre of the Ottoman Empire as the Turks spread their huge net across the Middle East. Across the centuries the city drew in cultures and blended them. Growing up there, singer-songwriter Gaye Su Akyol breathed all that in every day, along with her family’s ancient roots in Anatolia. Those rich traditions combine to form part of the sound she’s developed on her album Hologram Ĭmparatorluğu (Hologram Empire), where sultry Turkish melodies twine around spiky, twanging guitars and insistent rhythms.

“When I was young, we visited Anatolia every year. I had the chance to observe and realise the different perspectives and practices of cultures. That made me feel closer to the diversity of Anatolian civilisation. But when I heard Nirvana’s Nevermind for the first time, my mind blew up. I discovered other Seattle bands, then people like Nick Cave, Joy Division, Sonic Youth, and Einstürzende Neubaten.  A bit later I heard Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit.” The dark, mellow mood of the music, the use of the instruments and the vocal technique of Grace Slick greatly inspired me and led me into psychedelia and then surf bands.  What they all did seemed to fit with older Turkish singers I loved like Selda Bağcan and Müzeyyen Senar.”

The daughter of acclaimed Turkish painter Muzaffer Akyol, Akyol earned a degree in social anthropology and worked as an artist before creating music took over. She experimented, feeling her way towards her vision. And when she met the band Bubituzak, something clicked. They understood what she was doing; they became part of her art. Together they recorded her debut, Develerle Yaşıyorum, in 2013, following it with acclaimed, masked performances in Turkey and at festivals across Europe.

That first disc seeded the ground. The new album, Hologram Ĭmparatorluğu, bears the full fruit of the partnership. It digs deeper, fired with a seductive, shadowy passion. The thick swirl of Oriental strings on “Hologram” plunges towards the heated boil of “Fantastikir Bahti Yarimin.” The dark lullaby of “Dünya Kaleska” weaves a haunted post-punk spell before building to the album’s climax “Berduş,” where spaghetti western guitar cracks over a propulsive rhythm and a sensuous Anatolian melody. The sound is cinematic and gorgeous and Gaye’s luminous voice brilliantly orchestrates these shifting moods.

In Gaye Su Akyol’s universe, the past becomes folded into the present and launched into the future. Hologram Ĭmparatorluğu is heady, powerfully intoxicating and beautifully dangerous.

“Your art is something you have to find yourself,” Akyol says. “I’m looking inside my consciousness to my culture. I love rock but there are hidden things in my subconscious. Call it Turkish art rock if you like.”

Past, present, future.

Her music, her art.

Tasmanian based producer Bronze Savage releases debut EP on Aficionado Recordings, 5 tracks of glassy house.

To celebrate their 20th release, Manchester imprint Aficionado (Len Leise, Eleventeen Eston) have issued the debut solo release from Bronze Savage. A slick 12”, featuring 5 tracks of transportive house.  Oceanic textures and interlocking sequences lead the EP opening 'Waxed Apple', combining heat treated percussion and rolling bass to set the evening in motion. ‘Body Glo’ brings phasing synth washes, deep house pads and the vaguest hint of digidub.
 
This release marks the producer’s first solo release and appearance on vinyl. The EP was recorded over 2 weeks with cheap 80’s synths, on a dairy farm  in Bunyip (Victoria).
Hailing from Hobart (aka Cold Ibiza), Bronze Savage has been fast-forwarding the slow pace of Tasmania, sowing seeds for an emerging club scene.
 
Responsible for Rose Quartz – an unparalleled two-day music festival along Lake Pedder’s crystalline beach; Nathan Savage (under his moniker Bronze Savage) has also introduced the likes of Jack J, Bradley Zero, András and San Soda to the deep south.
 
From such long distances, his gravitational pull led to a highly caffeinated collab with Roland Tings, released on esteemed Vancouver label 1080p.

Brothertiger Reimagines Iconic Albums of The Eighties 
Tears For Fears’ Songs From The Big Chair In A New Album 
(Reimagine Music)

In the mid 1980s new wave era, with feel good singles, such as “Love Shack” and “Footloose,” at the top of the charts, confessional songs of disheartening childhood experiences was the last thing one might expect from an aspiring young band. Yet it is newcomers Tears For Fears’ dark remembrances, supported by infectious melodies, that many rock historians now cite as having struck a chord with the young recession era generation causing their debut “The Hurting” to go to number one in the UK and the top ten in the US. 

With all the pressure a success of this kind can bring, including a mass of fans anxiously awaiting new material, their next recording sessions could have easily been a play it safe affair. Instead the band pushed themselves ever further artistically, with arrangements of a much greater level of complexity and musicianship. While the lyrics of much of what would become their second album, Songs From The Big Chair, would remain introspective, it may have been the more mature and universal, coming of age themes that contributed to the album having an even wider appeal than the first one. 

In any case, with yet another string of hits from Big Chair -- including "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," "Shout," "Head over Heels," and "I Believe” -- Tears For Fears would find themselves not only standing head to head with the best acts of the day, it earned them the status of having one of the most successful albums of the Eighties. Today these songs remain permanent fixtures on classic radio, and Big Chair is now considered among the most important albums of the decade. 

Brothertiger Plays Songs From The Big Chair pays tribute Tears For Fears’ influential gem by giving it a modern take. Brothertiger is the alias of electronically-fueled John Jagos, a musician and producer based in Brooklyn, NY. Jagos’ passion for making music started out of his college dorm room at Ohio University in 2010. The Vision Tunnels EP was his first proper release, and soon after, he signed with Mush Records to release 3 subsequent albums.  

"Covering this album was gratifying, challenging, and truly inspiring” John Lagos says of the process. “I never thought I'd ever get a chance to be able to cover an entire album, let alone an album I truly care about. I feel so fortunate to be able to cover one of my favorite records in my own style and my own approach."

Brothertiger’s style complies with the vision Tears For Fears had 32 years ago, and by working with Reimagine, Brothertiger Plays Songs From The Big Chair helps to shed new life and give new meaning to an iconic piece of music that should never be forgotten.
