this is exquisite - a masterclass in guitar technique x

Thank you for listening. It's not the tidiest of takes but it was emotive so I went with it. I stick withsimplicity usually but this piece just appeared as is.

Stunning right hand technique. Beautiful and haunting.

Your music should have more of a reach.  People should be able to find such beautiful music more easily.  Apple Music, Spotify.

May 2020 Discoveries.

Many people simply want to hear and enjoy some great new music without having to waste time searching for hours. These Musical Discoveries collections aim to fulfil those needs. At least, we hope so! :)

This playlist is a compilation of the favourite musical discoveries of the Wud Records team from everything they heard at SoundCloud during May 2020.

Tracks have been arranged according to the number of plays at the time of publishing, starting with the fewest. Tracks that are early in playlists tend to receive more plays than later tracks, and we feel that the ones with fewer plays need the best chance of exposure.

This playlist is extremely eclectic, so if the track you are playing isn't quite doing it for you, try the next one. It will probably be completely different.

If you enjoyed listening to something here, please give it a like and a repost. Follow the artist. Give them a shoutout on social media. Check out some of their other tracks. Buy something from them and your support will help them to keep going. Doing any of this will help raise their profile. At the very least you might make their day. :)

If you happen to be on this playlist, please share, and give us a shoutout on your social media feeds - because if we spot it, it gives us another opportunity to repost you and big you up. Please listen to as many tracks by the other great bands as you can, and... enjoy!

We are watching us ghost side,
There are clothes to be washed and hung from the line,
You are blurry and blue-eyed...
Chop the wood into diamonds on cloud nine.

Stir the pot, sing a lullaby,
While the angels around you scream 'Fire!'
For the child to beautify,
For the man to inearth every choir.
For the man to inearth every choir.

The joke's on you, 
Careless little thing. 
Bold unyielding, 
Bouncing round a ring. 

So whose side were you on?
Whose side were you on?
Turns out they all decide. 

Merge with the motion... 
The blow, the cornering, 
Just for the simple things, 
Just for arrival. 
You want to take me on?
So won't you show yourself.
I bleed survival. 

Masked marvelling!
Pointed, china chin...
Just keep the peace, girl, 
Keep the weakness in. 
So who'll guide you along?
Who'll guide you along?
Turns out it always turns out. 

Merge with the motion... 
The blow, the cornering, 
Just for the simple things, 
Just for arrival. 
You want to take me on?
So won't you show yourself.
I bleed survival. 

Merge with the motion...

A NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR
A TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR
A GUARDIAN BEST FICTION BOOK OF 2021

Treacle Walker is a stunning fusion of myth and folklore and an exploration of the fluidity time, vivid storytelling that illuminates an introspective young mind trying to make sense of everything around him. 

 ‘Ragbone! Ragbone! Any rags! Pots for rags! Donkey stone!’ 

Joe looked up from his comic and lifted his eye patch. There was a white pony in the yard. It was harnessed to a cart, a flat cart, with a wooden chest on it. A man was sitting at a front corner of the cart, holding the reins. His face was creased. He wore a long coat and a floppy high-crowned hat, with hair straggling beneath, and a leather bag was slung from his shoulder across his hip.

Joe Coppock squints at the world with his lazy eye. He reads his comics, collects birds' eggs and treasures his marbles, particularly his prized dobbers. When Treacle Walker appears off the Cheshire moor one day – a wanderer, a healer – an unlikely friendship is forged and the young boy is introduced to a world he could never have imagined.

Treacle Walker is a stunning fusion of myth and folklore and an exploration of the fluidity of time, vivid storytelling that brilliantly illuminates an introspective young mind trying to make sense of everything around him.

Treacle Walker, By Alan Garner, Read by Robert Powell

I found this Northumbrian pipe tune in a manuscript. It's called 'Over the Border' and I think was about Hadrian's Wall. I got a slight obsession with the sound of this tune, and the idea of borders. How humans perceive and create borders which do not exist in nature, and what this means for the world.

Hold out a hand to those mislaid.
...Naivety's best accolade...
And still we warm the wild wanderlust.
But I can't tell what blooms, what's broken,
And what is true in all that's spoken,
With nothing left to paw through all the dust.

What's coming's flashing blue into the night,
The beaming's blinding every time.
But please don't wake me,
I,
I don't want to know.
I don't want to know. 

Those good intentions look so pretty,
And so do lights in violent cities - 
We're not that good at being good at all.
Not always weak who need your worry:
The strong are tired and always sorry.
Been built so high, they're liable to fall.
 
And so my riddles gather in the hall
With flowers, standing by my side. 
A you-shaped gap...
Oh, I, 
I don't want to know.
I don't want to know.

I Don't Want To Know

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
