‘The Ballad Of Shirley Collins’ Original Soundtrack
Out 23rd March 2018

Pre-order: https://earthrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/the-ballad-of-shirley-collins

Widely regarded as the 20th century’s most important singer of English traditional song, Shirley Collins is someone who was born to invoke the old songs. Alongside her sister Dolly, she stood at the epicentre of the folkmusic revival during the 1960s and ‘70s. But in 1980 she developed a disorder of the vocal chords known as dysphonia, which robbed her of her unique singing voice and forced her into early retirement. 

The Ballad Of Shirley Collins - which premiered at this year’s London Film Festival - tells this story, though to reduce it to that single aspect does everyone (not least of all Shirley!) something of a disservice. The film proves itself to be a time-travelling Transatlantic road-movie of sorts, utilising an incredibly rich audio archive to recount the tale of her seminal 1959 song-collecting trip around America’s Deep South alongside her then-lover (and legendary ethnomusicologist) Alan Lomax. The soundtrack album reflects this, combining never-before-released recordings from that trip (notably Alabama Sacred Harp Convention, Texas Gladden and Sidney Hemphill-Carter) with more recent offerings, a home recording of Shirley's sister Dolly Collins, excerpts from the original soundtrack music and two BBC session tracks from 1958, which get their first release, some 60 years after they were recorded.

Shirley Collins spent her life in song. Even during her time without her performing voice she was telling the stories of others’ music. Not once has she dropped the baton in keeping these songs, these stories, these people alive. The soundtrack to ‘The Ballad Of Shirley Collins’ - through its diversity - showcases a cross section of the facets that make up an extraordinary career by anyone’s standards.

Released for the first time on limited edition pink vinyl (worldwide) and deluxe DVD bookback (UK only) that will feature a range of extras including deleted scenes, audio commentary, behind the scenes footage and an unreleased short film by the filmmakers along with CD of the soundtrack.

By the time Tal National reached international acclaim with 2013's 'Kaani', the band's first release outside of Niger, they had spent more than a decade crisscrossing their native country, usually on dirt pathways through the Sahara, playing epic five-hour sets, seven days a week, selling their CDs on street corners and roundabouts. In the process, they became Niger's most popular band, with songs constantly blasted on national TV and cell phones everywhere. Following FatCat's release of 'Kaani', Western audiences and critics quickly embraced the band's singular and finely-honed sound. NPR were hit by "the band's tightness and fiery energy"; The Guardian praised "their full-tilt approach, and hypnotic intensity"; whilst Songlines wrote of "a rich, hybrid sound that draws on familiar West African elements to create something rewardingly fresh and different". FatCat released the dazzling follow-up, 'Zoy Zoy', on April 13th 2015, once again to great critical acclaim, with shouts from Pitchfork, Uncut, Afropop Worldwide, FADER, The Quietus and a cover feature on fRoots. With each heaping of praise, they all seemed to echo NPR’s assessment that “There’s no way you won’t dance to this one!”.

Gearing up for their third album for FatCat, Tal National look back on a fertile period spent honing their sound and touring the US several times – leaving audiences sweaty and stunned time after time. They’ve laid down incredible sets at WOMAD and Roskilde, bringing the same intensity and jubilance to the festival set as they would a crammed club, converting the staunchest wallflower into a dancer for the night. At their core, that’s Tal National's intent, to make the people dance. With new album 'Tantabara' (due Feb 2018) the band continues their ongoing quest to translate that energy to tape, bottling the party for personal use.

Niger borders Nigeria, Mali and Ghana. Collected within this former French colony can be found Songhai, Fulani, Hausa, and Tuareg populations, all of whom are represented in the membership of Tal National. As such, the nation enjoys a greatly varied mix of cultures and ethnicities, all richly steeped in music. It is no stranger to highlife, kora and afrobeat musics, while giving the world Tuareg Blues and a unique brand of hip-hop. In Tal National's music can be heard the rolling 12/8 rhythms in the Hausa's fuji percussion, the pensive aridity of the Tuareg's assouf and the exquisite griot guitar of Mali's Songhai, all delivered with virtuoso precision and unrelenting energy. After listing 'Kaani' in its top 10 albums of 2013, The New York Times wrote that "the music keeps leaping ahead with one surprise after another: guitar parts that align and diverge and reconfigure, drumming that pounces on offbeats. The patterns are crisp, complex and tireless".

Phonk D debuts on NDYD Records with his latest baby, the ‘Disco Goodies’ which contain four stellar tracks, each one with a unique twist and made within the last three years. Like wine these creations got better with time.
From the smoothly rolling ‘Darlin’ Playa’ to the more dreamy ‘Pink Champagne’, the German veteran-producer excels in many ways when it comes to funky and discoish sampling.
The intensity doesn’t stop on ‘Paradise Voyage’ and the fat-paced ‘Maintain’ is truly maintaining the highest level possible in terms of dance-floor-filling sounds. 
‘Disco Goodies’ are packed with highlights and sounds that that are going to stick to your memory like kids to cotton candy.

A Place To Bury Strangers - Never Coming Back

With 2018’s Marfa Myths festival slated to take place in the idyllic namesake backdrop of far west Texas, Mexican Summer once more reveals the fruits of the previous festival’s recording residency. For the third Marfa Myths release, we’re proud to present seven all-new songs written and recorded by Stockholm’s psychedelic masters Dungen and adventurous Brooklyn indie-folk pioneers Woods. “Turn Around,” written by Woods’ Jeremy Earl in advance of the session, finds the instinctive human pulse that stitches together the best Woods tracks letting its guard down slightly to accommodate the presence of peers, with ornamental backing touches – the upper register piano lines in the chorus … that insistent, descending guitar lead … the faintly-strobing, parochial purr of a Mellotron – that bridge Woods’ conceptual purity with Dungen’s otherworldly studio talents.

Following last year’s innovative 'Perverse Ramblings' LP, Kyle Rapps returns with searing stream-of-conscious raps about the issues plaguing our nation on his self-produced new single, “Dark Hour.”

The track borrows its hook and overarching message from Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1967 speech at the National Conference for New Politics. Among other points, he makes it clear that the U.S. is distinctly divided in two; a statement that still rings true more than 50 years later. Rapps is obviously aware of this, choosing not just to include the speech sample in the chorus, but to also drive home MLK’s points in his own words.

However, “Dark Hour” isn’t only an indictment of our times, though it does feature a particularly potent lyrical shot at 45. Rapps also uses his hypnotizing production to bring to light another struggle—the desire for sex and perhaps not knowing the best time to ask for it. Without giving away too much of the borderline-hysterical second verse, the Mexico-based artist’s bars about getting flipped off by a female are particularly rewind-worthy.

You can hear them for yourself by listening to “Dark Hour,” which is now available through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms.

From their eponymous debut album, out Feb 23rd, 2018 via Trouble In Mind Records (www.troubleinmindrecs.com)

from the band:
“Vital Sign” represents two sides of a coin. It references feelings of isolation and paranoia felt during periods of illness and confinement, as well as the emergence from such an experience, in recognition of the trials that bind us (“it could have been you too”). The song begins with a reflective moment which quickly reaches a breaking point, accentuated by screeching strings and bellowing background vocals."

Albert Hammond Jr’s fourth solo album Francis Trouble explores a deeply personal topic – the stillborn death of his twin brother, Francis, and the lingering effects that event has had in his life and music.
In November of 1979, Hammond Jr’s mother, Claudia, miscarried. Although they rushed to the hospital, Claudia and Albert Hammond Sr. were told that the baby was far too premature to live. Albert continued to grow inside of his mother undetected until she was nearly six months pregnant.

Lyrics:
So you're freaking me out
You hide your looks in your skull
I'm catching muted beatings in my lungs
You act like you're in my head
You sit me up in the back
I wanna know your lips upon my tongue
Don't like the rules that you like
I'm not a winner in your ring
Out loud a voice in the night
I do it like I'm Charlemagne

Like a heartbeat under your shirt
Like a hard reach into the dirt
But I can't breathe under your skirt
Now I'm waiting on something you said
Like a waitress too good to forget
Like the words sung over cassette

Do-do-do-do
I don't care

Words come out of your mouth
They hit me hard like a brick
I know I know I know I know
I know you like me possessed
But lately I've been a mess
You got me thinking 
Are we closer than before
Don't like the rules that you like
I'm not a winner in your ring
Out loud a voice in the night
I do it like I'm Charlemagne

Like a heartbeat under your shirt
Like a hard reach into the dirt
But I can't breathe under your skirt
Now I'm waiting on something you said
Like a waitress too good to forget
Like the words sung over cassette

Do-do-do-do
I don't care
You're a cult in this place
I don't care
Watch my skull give and take
I don't care where will we go
I don't care where will we go
I don't care
