Populous is Andrea Mangia, a producer hailing from Lecce, a small city on the heel of Italy's boot. In 2003, he made his first jaunt into the music world with the album Quipo (via Morr Music). In 2005 he released Queue For Love, influenced by his reggae/hip-hop-infused surroundings (Lecce is known as Italy's Jamaica, as reggae and dancehall are extremely popular there) and in 2008 he released Drawn in Basic. Both albums were widely received by international critics, earning him a spot on the global music map. He became known for the way he seamlessly blends digital sounds with the analog warmth of soul/hip-hop/whatever else he's influenced by at the time.

Azulejos, his forthcoming release, has a South American tinge to it (and is even partly in Spanish). He moved to Lisbon, Portugal to start work on the album bringing with him only a laptop, a small MIDI keyboard, and a microphone. "Lisbon became both my studio and my muse," he says. He wandered the city collecting field recordings— from trams to people singing on street corners. He sifted through flea markets for records to use for sampling (exclusively Portuguese and South American). Populous describes Lisbon as a city 'halfway between South American soul and European modernity, African in some aspects, and dramatically melancholic." He channeled these poignant fusions into Azulejos, named for the typical tiled facades in Portugal— simultaneously bright and decaying. The album features collaborations with Nina Miranda of Smoke City and Ela Minus, among others. It's a love letter to Lisbon, and a dreamy quilt of sounds he both grew up with and heard for the first time during his influential stay in Portugal.

LYRICS 🎶 🎶

Babe when I met you
I was feeling blue
Now I’m soaring through the skies
and we’ll hold each other soon

My life was a nightmare
Til I laid next to you
Now it’s butterflies and unicorns
I’m so glad I found you

Love is an easy thing to write about but I hope you can hear what I mean
When I say that I love you and I want to show you everything that this life can be

Love is an easy thing to write about but I hope you can hear what I mean-
When I say that I love you and I want to show you everything that this life can be

Back to the start again
And I’m on a plane again
Then I’m in LA again
And your a thousand miles away

Well, I can’t decide which part of you my mind finds is better
I’m stuck between your big brown eyes and that warm and cozy sweater

I think about you all the time 
You make me melt like butter
I can’t sleep when I’m without you darlin
I’m just into you

Babe when I met you
I was feeling blue
Now I’m soaring through the skies
and we’ll hold each other soon

My life was a nightmare
Til I laid next to you

Finally available, Pink Martini's exquisite arrangement of Maurice Ravel's "Bolero", one of the cornerstones of the band's live performances, was originally a pivotal part of their debut album "Sympathique." But the song was removed from the album after only a small initial pressing had circulated, due to publishing complications with the Ravel estate.  

Now, timed perfectly for the occasion of the album's 20th anniversary, "Bolero" has entered the public domain and finally again available to the public. It will be restored to its proper place on Pink Martini's 20th Anniversary Edition of Sympathique, to be released on June 29, 2018.

Kevin Krauter "Suddenly" Official Single

Harlan T. Bobo 'A History of Violence'
Release Date: June 22nd, 2018
150GONE

Once the intro to opener “Human” gives way to its fully-realized sonic purpose, it’s obvious that Harlan T. Bobo’s fourth proper album, A History of Violence, is quite different from his previous body of work. The classic historical emotional heft of a songwriter trying to make sense of life’s chaos--think mid-70s Lou Reed, especially Coney Island Baby--is a thread that can be heard running through the album’s mid-tempo tracks like “Human” and the miniature literary tragedy that is “Nadine”. The punchier tracks on the album, like “Spiders”, might conjure very early Green On Red, what X’s mid-80s output could have been, or even the roots-rock tendencies of overlooked genius, Cass McCombs.

Though this is the first proper full-length by Harlan since 2010’s Sucker, the last eight years have in no way framed a musical hiatus of any sort. Bobo contributed to The Memphis Symphony Orchestra’s conductor-less “Opus One” project for the 2010 and 2011 seasons, in which his original songs were classically arranged by participating MSO players and performed as chamber pieces for non-traditional audiences at rock clubs. Also in 2011, Harlan, and fellow Memphis music notables Jack Oblivian and Shawn Cripps (Limes) successfully Kickstarter-funded a 40-show “Memphis Revue” style tour through Europe. Already splitting his time between Europe and the States as this decade opened, Bobo continued to perform solo and tour Europe as such while also forming a Memphis super-group of sorts known as The Fuzz in 2013, which included former members of 90’s scuzz-punks Action Family and Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments. Playing 2013’s Gonerfest 10 and subsequently releasing a self-titled album of garage-ragers on Italy’s Munster Records later that year, The Fuzz (not to be confused with Ty Segall’s band of the same name) expanded Harlan T. Bobo’s musical frame of reference nicely.

Bobo established his base of operations as Perpignan, France, in 2014, the hometown of his then-wife and where Harlan has also been busy raising their son. 2014 also saw the rerelease of Bobo’s much-heralded 2006 album, Too Much Love, via both Goner Records stateside and France’s Beast Records. A self-released CD of Christmas songs also surfaced along with 2015’s “God Damn This Town” 7” (Goner/Beast) by Harlan T. Bobo & The Unamericans.  

By 2014, Harlan T. Bobo had amassed two album’s worth of solo material for the planned follow-up to Sucker. However, as they say, life has a way of intervening in dramatic and not entirely positive ways. If the new album’s candid gloom is any indication, the last few years in Europe raising a son and trying (unsuccessfully) to keep a marriage together has been difficult, to say the least.

A History of Violence still highlights Bobo’s whiskey-and-cigarette-informed vocal style, and on the more intimate tracks, it’s a distorted ear candy that warbles into increasingly sunken, uncomfortable places, like that of the songwriter with which comparisons have followed Bobo throughout his career: the late Leonard Cohen. But there is a richer canvas on which to work this time out, not to mention a decidedly heavier and darker one. The album was recorded in Memphis with Doug Easley, who has previously worked with Cat Power, Pavement, Wilco, Sonic Youth, Jon Spencer, and Jeff Buckley. Bobo also brought in Steve Selvidge (The Hold Steady, Bash & Pop) on bass and Jeff “Bunny” Dutton (Action Family) on guitar, along with regular contributors Jeff Bouck (Polyphonic Spree) and Brendan Spangler (Viva l’American Death Ray). The result is a naturally dynamic album that seems equally at home with howling guitars and heavy bass lines as it does with haunting piano and humble pleas. A History of Violence is Bobo’s most complex -- and complete -- album to date.
