The new album, 'Astronaut', released 30th June 2023
Pre-order/pre-save: https://LateNightTales.lnk.to/astronaut

Four years on from his explorative third full-length ‘Aquamarine,’ Londoner Ash Walker returns with an equally ambitious follow-up, set for release via Night Time Stories on 30th June. Alongside a plethora of award-winning collaborators and combining a dizzying array of sounds, ‘Astronaut’ hears Walker push his astral shower of rhythm and vibes to new heights. If 'Aquamarine’ was the take-off of his audial spaceship, ‘Astronaut’ is the cosmic voyage reaching terminal velocity; a rocket-powered masterclass spanning jazz, blues, soul, funk, and reggae. Following the release of first single ‘Time Gets Wasted’ ft. Sly5thAve and Denitia comes the albums second offering ‘Automaton.' Featuring emerging jazz artist Oscar Jerome and virtuoso keyboard player, composer, collaborator and producer Joe Armon-Jones, Walker had this to say on the track:
 
"This record was inspired by my deep-rooted love of Dub. ‘Automaton' is the story of a robotic being with a heart, jaded by the woes of life and modern society, lost in a world of 1’s and 0’s but every night they stare at the moon, thinking that there is more to the universe than just numbers and start to feel their heart pulsing. Told that they’ll never feel as they’re a robot, the more they look to the sky, the more they feel… Knowing that something else is out there. Teaming up with good friend Oscar Jerome on vocals, whose laid back hazy, smokey vocal lines & harmonies are reminiscent of seventies bands like The Congos and The Upsetters. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Then with the addition of some more friends like Joe Armon-Jones on Hammond Organ, Alex Cosmo Blake on Guitar, Robohands on Bongo’s & Flute, Hari-Lee Evans on Bass and Raffy Bushman on suitcase piano, the ‘Automaton' began to live and breathe.” Ash Walker
 
 An avid record collector, Walker has DJed far and wide... from the infamous Royal Mail squat party to the canals of Venice, spinning vinyl in Brixton with The Specials to scattering dub across San Francisco and LA. His own production output is similarly exploratory: his journeys have taken him far and wide, from tunnels under the river Thames to recording local percussionists in the Atlas mountains of Morocco. Inspired by a deep dive of sounds from artists including Duke Ellington, Quincy Jones, King Tubby, Bo Diddley, 4Hero, J Dilla, Pete Rock, Curtis Mayfield, Philip Glass, and Steve Reich; his first two albums, ‘Augmented 7th’ (2015) and ‘Echo Chamber’ (2016) gained attention from the likes of BBC 6 Music DJs Gilles Peterson, Don Letts and Gideon Coe.
 
A beautiful and thought-provoking cosmic masterpiece, ‘Astronaut’ cements Walker’s place amongst jazz music’s elite. We have lift off.

Ash Walker - Automaton Feat. Oscar Jerome & Joe Armon-Jones

Straight to the heart DEMOTAPE(2)

A gleam on glass, a promise lightly spoken,
The moments fall, a slow and silent crime.
I sit here on the edge of a day broken,
Lost from the fading traces of his time.
A glassy shrine within my frozen hand,
Where his reflection, mute and still, is held.
A strange and half-believéd, distant land,
That will not open, that remains unspelled.

Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
This echo in the chamber of the soul?
To lose and never have had all control?
Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
A phantom promise falling into dust,
A wilting leaf betrayed by autumn's rust.

The world spins on, indifferent and fast,
A play of faces I no longer see.
An angel, maybe, from a sky downcast,
Looks on and wonders what has captured me.
The irony in glances passing by,
They cannot see the chasm deep and wide.
They cannot grasp the reasons that I lie
In wait for something that has already died.

Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
This echo in the chamber of the soul?
To lose and never have had all control?
Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
A phantom promise falling into dust,
A wilting leaf betrayed by autumn's rust.

Perhaps the test was never him to find,
But just to be, the self I left behind.
The silence grows where promises were spoken,
A brand new world inside of me has woken.
The emptiness becomes an endless space,
And on its shore, I see another face.

Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
This echo in the chamber of the soul?
To lose and never have had all control?
Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
A phantom promise falling into dust,
A wilting leaf betrayed by autumn's rust.
Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
The phantom promise has returned to dust,
And on new ground, I find a different trust.

The screen goes dark. No echo. Not a trace.
I breathe me out. I breathe me in. This space.

Treat the music with respect... 

We decided if we're gonna to do this, we're gonna to do it properly. Heavyweight 180g black wax, full artwork, Ten Eight Seven masters + lacs, Optimal press. 

We've been in love with Ash's music since day one whilst he's been quietly killing it in the underground. Coming in with heavy dub pedigree Ash's sound taps the veins of Soul, Jazz and Funk, fusing them into a suspicious Trip Hop tapestry. Both tracks feature the killer horn work of Yazz Ahmed, one of the freshest artists to rupture the Jazz world with her psychedelic arabic rhythms. And RUDEBWOY visuals come courtesy of Sophie Bass, the dopest illustrator in the UK right now. 

3ft Above // 

One for the heads. 

"3ft above was inspired by Ezra: he made a sketch originally that i reworked into my own vibe, removed layers and then added in drums, bass etc until i ended up with what it was.... then Yazz truly finessed it..... lots of space echo used". 

Bagger // 

An opiate laden dancefloor stomper. Big Fishtank Funk. 

"Bagger was originally made at my old studio in crouch end, and was inspired by the greek/turkish food i was eating at the time in the area.... I played it with Charlie at home, decided that it would sound great with Yazz on, and pulled the trigger.... the Bagger was born". 

Also, a slice of each record goes to the anti sweatshop activist organisation 'No Sweat' - fighting for workers rights worldwide. 

We also throw loophole raves...
