The title track from the brand new album, 'Constellations,' by Moulettes, out NOW on Navigator Records.  Order here : 

http://www.propermusic.com/product-details/Moulettes-Constellations-168503

The Moulettes return with their third studio album, and their first for the Navigator Records, ‘Constellations’ on June 2nd. Recorded in studios, churches, tunnels, workshops and bedrooms around Brighton and Lewes in the summer of 2013, the album features a host of guest performances from legends Arthur Brown (“God of Hellfire”) and Herbie Flowers (Lou Reed/David Bowie) and contemporaries Blaine Harrison (Mystery Jets), The Unthanks  and Emma Richardson (Band Of Skulls). Brighton dub troubadour Faye Houston and dubstep producer Mike Dennis (Dface) complete a supporting cast that emphasises the band’s desire to blend musical styles and experiment with sound in a way that has been a hallmark of their recordings to date. Thus ‘Constellations’ crosses varied and expansive musical territory over its ten tracks. As songwriter, cellist and front singer Hannah Miller notes, “People can listen to Moulettes and hear Shostakovich, Miles Davis, Pentangle, Pink Floyd, Bjork and Skrillex. That is where we’ve all come from…everyone shares in over 80 years of recorded music history”. 

‘Constellations’ contains the headrush pop folk of ‘Glorious Year’, the psycho-drama of the title track and the noir trip hop of ‘Lady Vengeance’ in an opening salvo that is unlikely to be matched in scope by many, if any, albums released this year. An album criss-crossed with stories and imagery, ‘Constellations’ can accommodate the 20’s belle époque waltz of ‘The Night Is Young’, the progressive folk of ‘The Observatory’ and the death disco dub of album closer ‘Keep It As A Memory’ whilst remaining a cohesive piece that sparkles with inventiveness and creativity throughout.

Few bands have the musical range of The Moulettes. Containing a mix of self taught and classically trained members who have shared the stage and studio with the likes of Mick Jagger, Nick Cave, Seasick Steve, Bonobo and Dave Gilmour, their significant initial period was spent playing live and promoting the Den Of Iniquity nights in London that brought a host of acts to public prominence.  After seven years of being a live band it was only in 2009 that their eponymous debut was released. This was followed in 2011 by ‘The Bear’s Revenge’, an album that saw MOJO hail them as “complex and beautiful…intriguing and unique”. Moulettes have constantly been on the road for 4 years and have played festivals as varied as Cropredy  to End of the Road. They continue their busy gig schedule throughout April and May prior to a host of summer festival dates (see below).

Lliwia means Colours. It's a song written about childbirth. All the colours you can see when you close your eyes and the instant love that you feel for this soul that comes out. 

Tincian is 9Bach's second album. It's an atmospheric, emotional record that reflects their home environment of Gerlan, North Wales. As Lisa Jen explains, 'tincian can mean a lot of things, to move with a tinkling sound, to ring and make a clear sound. Depending on what area of Wales you are from, the meaning varies. It comes to life in dialogue when you use sentences like "I gave him such a talking to, he didn't know what had hit him...he was 'tincian'." It's almost like a cartoon image of someone's head being hit by a hammer'.

Laura Veirs - Sun Song


Pete Flood of Bellowhead offers up an ingenious reworking of the title track from Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker's forthcoming 'Fire & Fortune' album.

'Fire & Fortune' is released on Navigator Records on 22nd July 2013.

In a town full of songs and singers, Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker give you the real thing. Both classically trained, their musical proficiency is beyond doubt. But this isn't about technical accomplishment. This is about a song, first and foremost. Whether interpreting words centuries old, or singing her own authentic lyrics, Josienne's jewel-like voice finds the nuance and melancholy in the simplest phrase and effortlessly sends it straight to your heart.
Ben's musical tact and mastery of the guitar provide the perfect setting and allow the song centre-stage.Josienne was born in Sussex and Ben, in Evesham. It was after studying in London, and utterly by chance, that they met in July 2009. They have been working together ever since. Critical acclaim soon followed, along with the Isambard Folk Award and the FATEA award for Female vocalist of the year. Their work together combines an exquisite command of their instruments with lyrics steeped in the tradition of English songwriting, and in ageless stories of love and loss.
Two joint releases later, they've played as a duo alongside many of the living legends including Martin Simpson and Steve Tilston, and have just completed tour dates in Germany, the Netherlands and UK with more planned for 2013.
Navigator Records, home of Bellowhead, Bella Hardy, Heidi Talbot and many other gifted musicians, will be releasing their new album ‘Fire and Fortune’ on 22 July 2013.
Though influenced by greats such as Sandy Denny, Richard and Linda Thompson, Nick Drake, Bert Jansch and June Tabor, ‘Fire and Fortune’ marks two musicians who have resolutely found their own path through traditional English music.
Their new album, ‘Fire and Fortune’ contains twelve tracks, some carefully selected traditional songs re-imagined; others equally carefully picked original compositions. This is timeless stuff, and its purity will stay with you long after the last note fades.

Josienne Clarke & Ben Walker - Fire & Fortune (Pete Flood remix)

In the wordless communication that passes between violinist Catriona Price and harpist Esther 
Swift as they perform, the strength of their decade-long musical partnership, friendship and shared 
humour is evident. It’s this depth of connection, and tangible desire to have fun, that gives Twelfth 
Day its extra edge.
Though Twelfth Day wear their rich and varied experience with pride – their folk roots, their 
classical training – this duo are more than a simple product, an exponent, of their practice. It is their 
inherent curiosity, their need to understand through experimentation, that compels them to create 
their unique, genre-bending music.
Their songs confront societal conventions by exploring a wealth of urgent current issues, such as 
gender roles, power balance and the challenges of working in the arts as a young woman; the threat 
of climate change and society’s reluctance to act; and the struggles of mental health.
In their new album Face to Face (out November 2019, and their first featuring their full band [with 
whom they play tonight]) their multi-layered influences come together to create something entirely 
individual. There’s the radio-friendly catchiness and self-proclaimed respect for Beyoncé; there’s 
the swagger and surprise of jazz and funk; there’s the precision and technique of classical. The only 
label to truly hit the high note is ‘contemporary’: Face to Face could only be made now, and only by 
Twelfth Day.

"genre-blending style that is both edgy and inventive. . . A bold, intriguing set." ★★★★The Guardian

“Unconventional yet completely open” - Clash

“Right up my street” - Tom Robinson, 6 Music

“instantly addictive” Max Reinhardt, BBC Radio 3
