Cloud Nothings - The Echo of the World

"Birthday" is the first single from Gia Margaret's debut album, THERE'S ALWAYS GLIMMER, out 7/27/18 on Orindal Records.

Pre-order vinyl + digital now at http://orindal.com

Chicago singer/songwriter/producer Gia Margaret describes her music as “sleep rock.” It’s a genre all her own, combining elements of folk, shoegaze, slowcore, ambient electronica and trip hop. For her self-produced debut album, There’s Always Glimmer (out July 27, 2018 on Orindal Records), Gia Margaret crafted twelve gorgeously melancholic lullabies to combat her own insomnia, and to salvage some beauty from the brighter and darker moments of her life.

There’s Always Glimmer explores relationships between friends, family members and significant others, often in past tense. Sparse verses isolate mundane moments of domestic and urban life, and choruses ache with earnest expressions of yearning and loss. The disarmingly simple language of Gia Margaret’s lyrics, when carried by the melodic sparkle of her singing voice, have the power to elevate an ordinary moment into something supremely nostalgic and sentimental. A ride on a train, a hand on a shoulder, a dog in a yard, the light of the moon through an apartment window are each made significant and sacred, worthy of examination and preservation.

As much as it addresses the unease in our lives, each song on There’s Always Glimmer is steeped in loving comfort, awash with gentle sounds to usher the still minutes before dreams come, when we’re left alone amidst the shadows and the echoes of our memory. There’s Always Glimmer exists to fill the darkness and the quiet.

There's Always Glimmer

"Black Lagoon is the lead single from Still Corners 4th album Slow Air.  With clean toned electric guitar, a driving beat, and the smoky crooning of Tessa Murray, Black Lagoon contains the shimmering atmospherics Still Corners are well known for.  The cinematic video that accompanies the track finds the band on a journey from the desert to the ocean in search of a lost Eden. Filmed over a month in California, Arizona and Texas and shot on a small handheld cinema camera, the band travels across America in a white mustang convertible searching and reaching into the unknown."

For the last five years I’ve been composing everywhere I go. I wrote for other artists, for my collective, or for our performances; and there are many tracks which will never see the daylight, because they don’t always fit in my projects and EPs.
I’ve evolved through several artistic movements since the beginning and today I’m taking a rather important turn. These tracks are an opportunity put the light on this music disappear before moving on to something else.

Young Miami producer Marks is returning to Coyote Records on 31st August with 'Crush', his first full-length beat tape. Having debuted on the label last year with the well-received 'Drain' EP, the new release pushes his core sound forward while also showing off his versatility.

Following lead track 'Cold Monday' which was released last week, we're very happy to be premiering the second track to be taken from the record. 'Strawberry Shortcake' opens with glossy chimes and a nursery rhyme melody straight out of the Aphex Twin playbook, patiently evolving this theme over the course of the track while being thwacked over the head by fidgety drums that feel beamed in from another record.

PREMIERE: Marks - Strawberry Shortcake [Coyote Records]

"Miss the Darker Nights" 

Some see the whole affair 
A start to the end of time 
And pretend not to care 

I miss the darker nights 
Louder than a city fire 
Incessant, emergent 
Hum of a thousand cries 
Booming with the sound of life 
Take a deep breath, inhale it 

Some read the warning signs 
Blind to the wool on their eyes 

How could we think of love 
As if it's not enough 
Someone investing 
Smothered the stars with light 
Forcing them down to shine 
Etched in pavement 

I miss the darker nights 
Louder than a city fire 
And the incessant, emergent 
Hum of a thousand cries 
Booming with the sound of life 
Take a deep breath, inhale it

Puce Mary — The Drought
Format: LP / CD / Digital
Cat.No. PAN 87
Release Date: 5 October 2018 
Pre-order album: bit.ly/2KGmn9f / bit.ly/2KGL7Ot

Building from a reputation of arresting live performances and critically acclaimed releases Puce Mary breaks new ground with The Drought, evolving from the tropes of industrial and power electronics to forge a complex story of adapting to new realities. Remnants of noise still exist, sustaining the penetrative viscerality offered on previous records, however The Drought demonstrates an intention to expand on the vocabulary of confrontational music and into a grander narrative defined by technical and emotional growth.
 
Bringing together introspective examination with literary frameworks by writers such as Charles Baudelaire and Jean Genet, Puce Mary’s compositions manifest an ongoing power struggle within the self towards preservation. The traumatised body serves as a dry landscape of which obscured memories and escape mechanisms fold reality into fiction, making sense of desire, loss and control. The Drought presents both danger and opportunity; through rebuilding a creative practice centred on first person narrative and a deliberate collage of field recordings and sound sources Puce Mary injects an acute urgency across the album seeking resilience.

“To Possess Is To Be In Control” makes use of lyrical repetition as an ambiguity of two selves, or a divided self, attempting to consume one another, while “Red Desert,” named after Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1964 film, portrays the individual subsumed by surrounding environmental forces. The seven-minute epic “The Size of Our Desires” acts as the emotional tipping point of the record; amongst the ominous drone and dense feedback flutters almost-beatific melodies, while the lyrics reveal a romantic call to be swept up in the midst of an increasingly uninhabitable world.

Rather than escape, The Drought dramatises a metamorphosis in which vulnerability is confronted through regeneration. Noise and aggression no longer act as an affront to react against but part of a ‘corporeal architecture’ where space, harmony and lyricism surface from the harsh tropes of industrial music. The Drought chronologises a transformation through a psychological famine, new ways of coping akin to plant survival in a desert – to live without drying out.

The release is mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring art by Torbjørn Rødland

Lyrics

Where do we go from here 
Tell me this loud and clear 
Cause I don’t want be your secret 
( no I don’t wanna be ) 
I’d travel far and low
Wherever you want to go 
Say the word and we’ll go 

Mmmm

You know that I’ve waiting for 
You to get it
Let’s take this up a little more 
This time I’m ready 
You know that I’ve waiting for

Oh, need me 
Give me just a little bit 

Work it

Oh, need me 
Give me just a little bit 

Mmmm yeah yeah yeah 

My imagination is the best 
I do things I wouldn’t dare in my mind 
If all of the thoughts that I had 
Would come alive 
You’d be by my side

This time I’m ready 
You know that I’ve waiting for 
You to get it
Let’s take this up a little more 
This time I’m ready 
You know that I’ve waiting for 
You to get it
Let’s take this up a little more 

And 

Work it
Make it hot 
Oh, need me 
Give me just a little bit 

Work it
