Sounds From The Workshop

PREMIERE : Reuben Vaun Smith - Disco Schiaparelli [Soundway Records]

MIMS is very excited to have the first drop on Orestes Gomez' remix for fellow Venezuelan Raúl Monsalve y los Forajidos' "Bocón". A lush neo-soul & jazz heavy bed for Luzmira Zerpa's poignant verbal attack on lying politicians. Taken from a forthcoming remixes 45 on London-based Olindo Records.

Orestes' remix made a BIG impression on Raúl Monsalve: "I was so impressed by what Orestes did, taking the original track to another realm... and groovy as a motherfucker". Orestes is joined on the track by some impressive sidemen, including bassist Daniel Briceño (La Vida Boheme) and flautist Eric Chacón (Tony Succar / Miguel Siso).

Orestes Gomez is one of the most recognized drummers in Latin America. His work fusing musical genres including: Afro, Latin, Hip Hop, and Jazz has earned him international recognition. He has travelled the world playing and collaborating with some of the most respected bands of Latin America including; Los Amigos Invisibles, Gustavo Dudamel, Caloncho, Mcklopedia, Apache, and Akapellah. On the remix he is joined by some exciting musicians, including bassist Daniel Briceño (La Vida Boheme) and flautist Eric Chacón (Tony Succar / Miguel Siso).

Last year Orestes produced the entirety of 'Dealers in Caracas', a hip hop album in partnership with Venezuelan MC Mcklopedia, and earlier this year he released a series of contemporary jazz pieces in a trio with Latin Grammy nominated pianist Gabriel Chakarji and bassist Freddy Adrian.

Raúl Monsalve and his all-star family of musicians received praise and support for their exciting fusion of Afro Venezuelan rhythms with Latin jazz, psych, funk and Afrobeat, from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Gideon Coe, Huey Morgan, Stuart Maconie (BBC Radio 6 Music), Jazz FM, NTS, Songlines, Bandcamp, Radio Nova, Le Grigri, FIP, and of course, Music Is My Sanctuary.

Raúl Monsalve y los Forajidos are currently on a European tour with dates across France, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland and the Supersonic Jazz Festival in Amsterdam.

The Orestes Gomez remix of "Bocón" is streaming from this week across all the usual platforms and is available to pre-order on vinyl and download from the Olindo Records Bandcamp.

What’s this? Another new release from up our busy sleeve! 

Solar Death Ray' is the debut single from Berlin group Clear History, a scorching post-punk trio intent on bringing a matchbox to the dance floor. "Light a match and watch it drop, burn it down" they sing on this pulse-quickening single, which sounds equal parts Kleenex, Gang of Four and ESG.

'Solar Death Ray' is taken from the band's debut EP 'bad advice good people' out November 5th on Upset The Rhythm.

Tearjerker - Another Moon

Me Lost Me returns today with the second miraculous single from their forthcoming album ‘This Material Moment’ (out June 27th through Upset The Rhythm). 

‘A Painting of the Wind’ is an astonishing song that we’ve loved in Jayne’s set for a while, it grapples with how artists try to express the inexpressible and how art is used as a means of escape and fantasy. The track is streaming everywhere now and is accompanied by this exquisite landscape portal of a video filmed at Raby Castle by Amelia Read:

‘This Material Moment’ can be pre-ordered on Bandcamp and our very own webshop too.

“Ye micht o thought the sallow buckthorn, Ne’er a hairst could hain”
("You might have thought the buckthorn would be so pale, that no harvest could hold it.”)

Ancient Summer

Cor Blimey! On August 15th Upset The Rhythm will release a split 7” EP by Linda Smith and The Smashing Times. Both based in Baltimore and both best buds, this record celebrates that friendship sharing two new tracks by each act; united by DIY spirit, a bedroom-pop sensibility and now a puddle of black vinyl. Today you can witness their tea-based, umbrella-powered advertisement, listen to Linda’s track ‘So Long Ago’ (streaming through the digital ether) and even choose to pre-order the coveted disc yourself from our Bandcamp or UTR webshop: https://upsettherhythm.co.uk/

Songwriter Linda Smith has a gentle but unconventional experimental style that continues to evolve as she adds new entries to her storied catalogue. Smith’s pioneering work with four-track production in the '80s found her at the beginning of a home-recording movement that would set the pace for the decades of indie rock that followed. During this most active period, Smith's music was limited mostly to obscure cassette and 7" releases. This trailblazing time was recently revisited on Captured Tracks’ compilation ‘Till Another Time: 1988-1996’. Shortly after Smith’s retrospective, she teamed up with like-mind and collaborator Nancy Andrews to release an album of beguiling pop entitled ‘A Passing Cloud’ (2023). The duo performed songs from that record at Upset The Rhythm’s 20th anniversary party at Café OTO that same year. 2024 saw further reissues of Smith’s music including Nothing Else Matters (1995) and I So Liked Spring (1996).
 
The Smashing Times are a premier East Coast Pop Experimental Group. They have also gleefully performed in London for Upset The Rhythm twice in quick succession. Known for their dogtooth style, waggish mod attitude and tumbledown sound, The Smashing Times have holes in their socks and sit idly between The Kinks and Tori Kudo. Their previous albums on K Records, Perennial and Meritorio are a cherished commodity steeped in Paisley psych and slapdash panache. 
 
This split 7” EP comprises 4 new tracks. Two from Linda Smith in keyboard-warble anthem mode and two low-fidelity daytrips by The Smashing Times. It will be released on 500 black vinyl 7”s by Upset The Rhythm on August 15th 2025.

Linda Smith - 'So Long Ago'

'Where I Come From' is the first single taken from Canadian noise-rock demolition crew EarthBall's new album 'Outside Over There'. 'Where I Come From' is a dizzy sprawl of languid drums, spun-out fx, crushed staggering guitars and freaked saxophone extrapolations. This landscape of unruly sound is then stalked through by Izzy's spontaneous vocal projections, the effect is uncanny to say the least.

Demo

OTIH   ''Nakon svih vas''

Taken from the Boiling Point/Promise Land 12", out 5th Feb 2021. Pre-order here - https://smarturl.it/BadwanCoxon

A collaboration between Faris Badwan (The Horrors / Cat’s Eyes) & renowned guitarist John Coxon (Spring Heel Jack / Spiritualized / Treader), Boiling Point/Promise Land is the first release of an ongoing collaborative series between Faris and other artists, details of which will be subsequently announced.

Badwan & Coxon met some years ago when Faris was looking for producers to work with on his solo material and their working relationship evolved beyond the existing songs into something more improvisational and instinctive. As Faris explains:

The new songs we ended up working on were largely spontaneous and cut together from early takes with minimal overdubbing. The lyrics were improvised and the focus was placed more on creating atmosphere and keeping things fairly raw and expressive. I guess I found it rewarding particularly with the guitar playing because it was so intuitive and completely free from any expectations of how a song should be constructed. There are hooks and repetitive sections but fewer traditional structures.

We tried to avoid doing any planning beforehand and focussed more on responding to what was happening in the moment. I guess the sessions were kind of a constant dialogue where we would each respond to the other's improvisation.

With Promise Land I began by improvising lyrics over a drone track John and I created. Some time later I came across “To Our Land” by Mahmoud Darwish, a Palestinian poet, and was struck by the similarities - there are a few lines that match really closely. Despite being half-palestinian myself this was a total accident and I know for sure I hadn’t seen Darwish’s piece before.

With Boiling Point the lyrics are almost the ghost of a narrative rather than an explicit story. I’m interested in the subconscious and how the hidden parts of your brain express themselves when given the opportunity. Looking back it was almost more about creating the right conditions for the subconscious to come out.

Boiling Point / Promise Land is out on Tough Love Records on Friday 5th February 2021 on DL and as a limited edition (500) 12” which includes a very limited run of 100 copies with hand painted sleeves by Faris which are available via Bandcamp. In keeping with the approach of the music, each design was improvised and instinctive. Faris added about the artwork:

What was interesting about it was the way the style of the designs naturally evolved as a result of having so many blank squares to fill - there's a really clear development from start to finish - beginning with angular lines filling the sleeve and ending with smoother, more minimal abstract shapes responding to the existing sleeve design. It ended up almost like a process-based art project where you work repetitively within really strict confines and let the results emerge organically.
