Lyrics:

Oh, love,
you may sigh
Could procure love
if we're allied
And all love
should hide in plain sight

And oh, love,
on the flipside,
could abhor love
if we're partite
But all love
don't all script right

Gorgeous flowers don't look right 
when
languorous hours fill each night
Numbed by the clamour of this life,
where all love 
should hide in plain sight

No Two Blue Ticks

Royce Wood Junior "Oh Love" (feat. Ross Hutchison)

Unreliable (Hermanito Remix)

We are excited to premiere the beautiful and epic "Child - Part IV" by London's incredible Levitation Orchestra, forthcoming on Gearbox Records.

We swooped at the opportunity to premiere one of our favourite cuts from the forthcoming album by  Levitation Orchestra on Gearbox Records. We have been HUGE fans since their debut LP on Astigmatic and their phenomenal live show at London's Church of Sound.

Founded in 2018 by trumpet player & musical director Axel Kaner-Lidstrom, Levitation Orchestra was formed with the shared goal to create original suites of music completely collectively. A large, ever-changing ensemble, abundant in energy & focus, their captivating compositions truly come to life in the band's explosive live performances.


Words from Levitation Orchestra: "Child part IV" is the final part of a suite of music about childhood, lineage and loss. We were wrestling with illusions and realities around our perceptions of ourselves and how we could be just a grain of sand in a desert or a single thread in the ever-growing tapestry of the universe. But perhaps, through ancestry and dependency we could be linked with a greater cycle of being. How connected are we to those who came before and who will come after? "Part IV", the culmination of the suite, brings forward motifs of bright, new life, and sorrow and loss. Two parts of the cycle that are inextricably interwoven."

"Child - Part IV" is released on September 22nd. The album, 'Illusions & Realities', sees release on double-LP vinyl (including a limited Japanese edition with obi strip), CD and digital, on October 29.

Lyrics:

I’ve been taking the elixir, Sam 
My day to day is getting out of hand 
A good reason to let go and detach 
From getting beaten down by the man 
Blue hands, no air, got questions, don’t ask 
Kept on moving with my foot on the gas 
Making noise for the hell of it 
To be silenced again 

We can make it
Even if it hurts – we can make it outside of this 
We can make it work, even if it hurts 
We can make it outside of this 

There was something in the mission then 
A new label with an interest man 
Advanced paper with a stacked contract 
A few years later with a heart attack 
A new agent, tour circuit – hit the road so fast 
A ticking time bomb, it blew in a flash 
Never knew what to make of it 

We can make it
Even if it hurts – we can make it outside of this 
We can make it work, even if it hurts 
We can make it outside of this 

We can make it
Even if it hurts – we can make it outside of this 
We can make it work, even if it hurts 
We can make it outside of this

Outstanding

Beyond their highly sought after 1978 album Festa Para Um Novo Rei - home to the mystical jazz-funk classic ‘Vidigal’ and released on Philips’ iconic Musica Popular Brasileira Contemporanea series (MPBC) - little is known about Marcos Resende & Index, even to aficionados of rare Brazilian music. Far Out Recordings is immensely proud to present their previously unreleased self-titled debut album from 1976, contributing a crucial missing work from the glory days of progressive Brazilian instrumental music.

A prodigious child, Marcos Resende learned to play the accordion at the age of two, and taught himself the piano at six. In spite of his immense potential to become a musician he travelled to Lisbon in the 60s to study medicine, though he continued to explore his musical passion on the side, forming a trio which ended up opening for Dexter Gordon at the Cascais Jazz Festival in 1971. From here he formed the electronic oriented prog-jazz group Status, who opened shows for the likes of Elton John, Phil Woods, Stan Getz, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, but in spite of their relative live success they have no known recordings.

Now established as a highly regarded keyboardist, composer, and innovative electronic musician, Resende returned home to Brazil following Portugal’s Revolução dos Cravos in 1974.  Inspired and invigorated by US jazz and British progressive rock he’d experienced while residing in Europe, Resende went all out acquiring a keyboard arsenal to be reckoned with, which included the Prophet 5, Yamaha CP-708 and Mini Moog. Determined to integrate his newfound inspirations with Brazilian rhythms and jazz traditions, he formed a new quartet with Rubão Sabino (bass), Claudio Caribé (drums) and the late great Oberdan Magalhães, of Banda Black Rio and Cry Babies fame. Marcos Resende & Index recorded their self-titled debut at Sonoviso Studios with the legendary sound engineer Toninho Barbosa, known as the ‘Brazilian Rudy Van Gelder’ whose impressive resumé includes the era defining classics Light As A Feather by Azymuth, Previsão Do Tempo by Marcos Valle, and Quem É Quem by João Donato. Marcos Resende & Index fits perfectly amongst these masterpieces, sharing both the timeless ethereal qualities as well as the progressive and futuristic ideals of Light As A Feather in particular.

Though he wasn’t short of offers to release the album, Resende felt record companies were de-valuing the time and effort he spent absorbing his influences while establishing a career in Europe, and perfecting his sound with his Brazilian bandmates, as well as the magnitude of the recording they achieved. As time passed, Resende become one of the most revered session keyboardists in Brazil, and played on records by Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, Edu Lobo, Carlos Dafé and Gal Costa, among many others; as a result his career as a bandleader took a backseat, and this remarkable recording has stayed below the surface til now.

Thankfully Marcos kept the tapes from the Sonoviso sessions safe and presented them to Far Out’s Joe Davis at his home in Lisbon in 2018. Now the time is finally right for the album to see the light of day. Marcos Resende & Index will be available on vinyl, CD and digital formats from 29th January 2021.

Jachary enlists the help of Synead on new single 'Violiet Vision'- The 3rd installment in his Rainbow Vision Series, following 2018s 'Yellow Vision' and 'Blue Vision.' The first act features Synead gliding over a canvas of prickly synths in the style of Jachary's 2017 project 'There's a Virus Going On.' Jach's response is simple: "I Think I Love You!" Calling on an arrangement of strings, sax and guitar for assistance. Violet Vision is the tale of two separated lovers in different headspaces, yearning for connection.

Forged in the small hours following big nights, the quiet hours of cocooned downtime, and amongst the lived hours spent soaking up inspiration from their home city (Manchester), ZULA is a project born of experimental experiences.

Listen for sugar-sweet vocals whispering 5am epiphanies over glue70's molten beats: it’s all glitches and switches with space and breaks - every element considered, crafted and curated.
