Jamelia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you think you know Caribou, think again. Dan Snaith’s new album, Swim is the sound of the musical glass ceiling being blown away.\u003cbr\u003eIf there is a link to previous album Andorra, it would be in the ravishing explosions of sound pulsing through album closer ‘Niobe’. A continuum of sorts leads us to 2010, but that finale gives mere hints as to the future Caribou. From the opening effervescent gambol of ‘Odessa’ to the glorious odyssey of ‘Jamelia’, it’s crystal clear that Caribou has made a massive leap forwards, upwards and sideways.\u003cbr\u003eWith the trajectory of his previous three psychedelic wonderland albums culminating with The Flaming Lips asking Caribou to do ‘something special’ for ATP NYC in September 2009, Dan put together a 15 piece band including the likes of Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra band leader) as part of a 5 piece horn section, Kieran ‘Four Tet’ Hebden, Jeremy ‘Junior Boys’ Greenspan, Koushik, Luke ‘Born Ruffians’ Lalonde, four drummers, gong, synths, vibes and everyone who has ever played live with Caribou, collaborating on the most epic Caribou performance, ever. \u003cbr\u003e“Definitely dream come true type stuff for me to make that happen with all my friends and Marshall Allen up there killing it at age 85,” Dan swoons. “I hope we get to do it again but in some ways it seems like a logical end to the chapter of my music that’s been big, messy psych records.” \u003cbr\u003eDan’s latest recording sees him getting busy in the basement with some expertly constructed, rave-tinged sounds that sing with soul. But that’s not all. As a songwriter of considerable standing, Dan has not subsumed his uniquely recognisable touch in an orgy of technical bliss – although, there is plenty of euphoria in the musical alchemy on offer. From Dan’s perspective, he says, “The most important thing for me with this record was finding my own sonic vocabulary. That’s why I’m proud of this record.”\u003cbr\u003eSwim is full of brightly textured, rapturous gems that gleam with astonishing production – and then wrenches at your heart with soulful, thoughtful reveries on the passing of time, family history and the breakdown of relationships. “There are songs about growing old in a relationship, about divorce and loneliness in old age but the lyrics are generally pretty abstract sketches of what’s going on in the situation in my head.”\u003cbr\u003eWe can’t think of another multi-instrumentalist\/ producer\/ songwriter\/ singer\/ arranger\/ composer who has the ability to harness all these talents into something as breathtakingly gorgeous yet dancefloor-ready as Dan Snaith. \u003cbr\u003eWe’re not alone in thinking just how special Caribou is. After the winning the prestigious 2008 Polaris Music Prize (Canada’s answer to the Mercury Music Prize, where he saw off the likes of Black Mountain \u0026amp; Holy Fuck in so doing), Dan decided to use the winnings to take his home production ethic to the next level. \u003cbr\u003eEnlisting Born Ruffians’ Luke Lalonde to sing ‘Jamelia’, and mixing expertise from, David Wrench (of Julian Cope's Black Sheep band and a scholar and solo recording artist of 16-18th century songs of insurrection in a doom metal style) in Bryn Derwen Studio in Wales and Jeremy Greenspan’s Pistachio studio in the pairs’ home town of Hamilton, Ontario, Swim has a widescreen, audiophile depth not previously heard on Caribou’s endearingly scruffy albums Andorra and Up in Flames. \u003cbr\u003e“I got excited by the idea of making dance music that’s liquid in the way it flows back and forth, the sounds slosh around in pitch, timbre, pan... Dance music that sounds like it’s made out of water rather than made out of metallic stuff like most dance music does,” Snaith says.\u003cbr\u003eAnd boy, how he achieved this in spades! There are so many highlights and memorable flourishes here. From the more assured nature of Dan’s vocal takes meshed in the midst of the swirling majesty, the sonic thrust of ‘Kaili’, the relentlessly bubbling addictive nature of ‘Sun’. The fluid interplay of flute and percussion of ‘Leave House’ colliding with a splendidly distended vocal take from Dan that drops in and out of the mix to leave us in a veritable frenzy. Oh, and ‘Found Out’s John Carpenter-esque dread with killer guitar licks from Dan Snaith himself. \u003cbr\u003eAnd we haven’t even arrived at album highlight ‘Hannibal’ featuring a horn section (see below) throwing down warm and vital instrumentation amidst the bounce. This track seems nigh on perfect, as does ‘Bowls’ with its oozing bass, stuttering Tibetan bowls and a percussive clatter that seems at stages like it is literally melting (James Holden agreed to remix the track on the spot upon hearing it). It also helps that it sounds as though Dorothy Ashby is guiding proceedings! The final track ‘Jamelia’ (yes it is named after her if you want it to be) seems to take all elements of the component parts to breaking point in the best possible way. The cut and thrust of this tune is simply marvellous, especially the use of coruscating string shards cutting through the mix. Both of these latter tracks will be seen as benchmarks for production in 2010.        \u003cbr\u003eThrough getting all the musicians together for the Caribou ATP extravaganza, Dan met a quartet of young free jazz players from Toronto - Colin Fisher (tenor), Kyle Brenders (bass clarinet and soprano saxophone), Rob Piilonen (flute) and Steve Ward (trombone), who recorded their parts in Toronto straight after the ATP show. Their contributions also mark a significant shift in the Caribou path.\u003cbr\u003eThis year will also see a dramatic difference in the Caribou live performance. Now that technology has finally caught up to Dan’s ambitions for the band’s show, while it will still be four musicians on stage, the dynamic interplay between visuals, electronics and the live sound is totally pliable.\u003cbr\u003e“Now we can play the mix onstage like a dub mixer would - but even moreso than a Lee Perry because almost everything can be manipulated - not just the things that are controlled on a recording studio mixing desk. We can get that washing-around feeling and the unpredictability of sounds undergoing changes all the time.” They say it takes a few years for the new century to kick in… here we go.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"City Slang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34013297508396,"sku":"SLANG9550055","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/CARIBOU-Swim.jpg?v=1588721927"},{"product_id":"various-soul-love-now-the-black-fire-records-story-1975-1994","title":"Various - Soul Love Now: The Black Fire Records Story 1975-1993 (Repress)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 2 x LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: STRUT238LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 4062548012927\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 14 Aug 2020\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Jazz, Soul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRepress: 05 May 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack Listing\u003cbr\u003eA1.

The band’s ‘African Rhythms’ album in 1975 was the perfect fusion of jazz, deep African polyrhythms and empowering lyrics and bassist Muzi Branch, a trained artist, created the first of many Black Fire handillustrated sleeves for the label’s debut release. The album set the tone for a series of landmark releases on the label including Oneness Of Juju’s ‘Space Jungle Luv’ (1976) and debuts from soulman Wayne Davis (1976) and early go-go pioneers Experience Unlimited (1977). Gray continued to use his influence and strong A\u0026amp;R instincts to bring in more key artists – great jazz players like Byard Lancaster and Hamiet Bluiett, Ghanaian master percussionist Okyerema Asante and collectives including Southern Energy Ensemble and music \/ drama troupe Theatre West. Due to personal and cashflow issues, many releases had to be canned and only later surfaced on CD during the early ‘90s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Soul Love Now’ brings together some of the many highlights from the label onto one essential compilation. Opening with Theatre West’s powerful soul message ‘Children of Tomorrow’s Dreams’, the tracks include a Byard Lancaster recording with Tunde Kuboye’s Drummers Of Ibadan in Nigeria and Lon Moshe’s driving jazz dance classic ‘Doin’ The Carvin’ For Thabo’. Wayne Davis brings the explosive gospel rare groove ‘Look At The People’ while Plunky’s JuJu and Oneness Of Juju feature with three tracks spanning their career, including a storming previously unreleased version of the classic ‘African Rhythms’ recorded in DC in 1975.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe release features extended sleeve notes features extended sleeve notes around the history of the label alongside interviews with featured musicians. The 2LP format includes a reprint of one of the three original Black Fire magazines published by Jimmy Gray which predated the launch of the label.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34424046092444,"sku":"STRUT238LP","price":23.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/image002_53ab05ea-3777-4317-b53d-0decb201139d.png?v=1590170699"},{"product_id":"sun-ra-dark-myth-equation-visitation","title":"Sun Ra - Dark Myth Equation Visitation","description":"\u003cp\u003eRelease date: 13th November 2020\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormats: LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel: Strut\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue Number: STRUT227LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 4062548008289\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1        Discipline 27    3:55\u003cbr\u003eA2        Interview With Ra\u003cbr\u003eA3        Solar Ship Voyage    2:33\u003cbr\u003eA4        Interview With Ra [concluded]\u003cbr\u003eA5        Cosmo-Darkness    2:08\u003cbr\u003eA6        The Light Thereof    5:12\u003cbr\u003eB1        Friendly Galaxy No. 2    10:16\u003cbr\u003eB2        To Nature's God    9:05\u003cbr\u003eB3        Why Go To The Moon?    2:39\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36256650854556,"sku":"STRUT227LP","price":15.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/SunRa-DarkMythEquationVisitation.jpg?v=1601373668"},{"product_id":"sun-ra-horizon","title":"Sun Ra - Horizon","description":"\u003cp\u003eRelease date: 13th November 2020\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormats: LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel: Strut\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue Number: STRUT229LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 4062548008302\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1        Starwatchers \/ Theme Of The Stargazers    1:20\u003cbr\u003eA2        Discipline No. 2    5:28\u003cbr\u003eA3        Shadow World    13:31\u003cbr\u003eB1        Third Planet    5:00\u003cbr\u003eB2        Space Is The Place    3:26\u003cbr\u003eB3        Horizon    7:49\u003cbr\u003eB4        Discipline No. 8    8:29\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36256671105180,"sku":"STRUT229LP","price":17.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/SunRa-Horizon.jpg?v=1601373766"},{"product_id":"sun-ra-arkestra-swirling-lp","title":"SUN RA ARKESTRA - SWIRLING [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 2LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: STRUT153LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 4062548015003\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 30th October 2020\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Satellites Are Spinning \/ Lights On A Satellite 8:00\u003cbr\u003eA2 Seductive Fantasy 11:49\u003cbr\u003eB1 Angels And Demons At Play 7:05\u003cbr\u003eB2 Swirling 7:42\u003cbr\u003eB3 Sea Of Darkness \/ Darkness 5:16\u003cbr\u003eC1 Astro Black 4:51\u003cbr\u003eC2 Infinity \/ I'll Wait For You 9:18\u003cbr\u003eC3 Queer Notions 5:39\u003cbr\u003eD1 Rocket No. 9 5:00\u003cbr\u003eD2 Sunology 4:25\u003cbr\u003eD3 Door Of The Cosmos \/ Say 7:27\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37544282783900,"sku":"STRUT153LP","price":17.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/unnamed_894a8d88-aa4f-4b48-9aa6-2d9d1fa57cd9.jpg?v=1611071880"},{"product_id":"gilles-peterson-presents-sun-ra-his-arkesta-to-those-of-earth-and-other-worlds","title":"Gilles PETERSON presents SUN RA \u0026 HIS ARKESTA - TO THOSE OF EARTH...

Maybe somewhere between Netherlands and South-East Asia, on an imaginary tropical island. That’s where they brew a strange cocktail made of discogrooves, powerful “thaï beat” tunes and experimental tropi-synths. After two remarkable singles on Les Disques Bongo Joe, they’re back with « The Rabbit That Hunts Tigers ». Made of groovy tunes and dance killers, this album could be the crazy soundtrack of a 60s hippie village on the South China Sea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYīn Yīn passed last months burning scenes and make people dance around Europe. But they found just enough time to record this first tape in a ballet school in a remote village near the Alpaca Mountain. Kees Berkers and Yves Lennertz were the puppet masters of this in-studio experience. The result is a landscape where rabbits chase after tigers, an upside-down world were you'll definitely dance for ever.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s one of the coolest things to emerge from the Dutch Deep South in quite a while: the debut album by Yin Yin (not counting last year’s cassette only ‘Pingpxng’). The Maastricht outfit pairs a deep appreciation of South East Asian sixties and seventies instrumental music with a slick modern funk and disco groove, tied together by a solid understanding of timeless cinematic sounds, as exemplified perfectly by the opening track, a laidback Thai funk groove that ends in psychedelic turmoil. ‘One Inch Punch’ (released as a single earlier this year) is one of the many standout tracks here - a luscious Asian space disco affair that sounds like the soundtrack of a Shaw Brothers movie that never happened. Yin Yin show off their instrumental skills on the freeflowing ‘Alpaca Mountain’ and go straight for the dancefloor with the infectious disco stomper ‘Sui Ye’. Their all-encompassing open-mindedness is perhaps best illustrated by the title track - a strange concoction of spaghetti western sounds, cheeky disco and Thai funk. ‘The Rabbit that Hunts Tigers’ is another winner for Bongo Joe and mandatory listening for fans of Khruangbin, Altin Gün and Jungle by Night.

Alongside peers like Foxygen and Drugdealer, The Lemon Twigs have explicitly documented a synchronistic blend of contemporary narrative motifs, old-school recording techniques, and flawless, consistent attitudes collaged from various crucial stages of rock ’n’ roll. After a whirlwind 2023, the D’Addarios are continuing the momentum of their own evolving vision and voice, distilling a history lesson of baroque and power pop into A Dream Is All We Know (out May 3 on Captured Tracks).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGarnering the top-to-bottom critical acclaim the brothers have long deserved, their 2023 LP Everything Harmony was spearheaded by an impressive string of singles, including “Corner Of My Eye” and “Any Time of Day.” It was the kind of record that put all of Brian and Mi- chael’s talents on display, be it the former’s multi-instrumentalist gifts\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eor the latter’s boyish, explosive pop-rock charisma and eye for engineering and vocal layering. But A Dream Is All We Know is not the acoustic, nylon string-based project that Everything Harmony was. Instead, it’s a return to the form the Lemon Twigs first introduced on Do Hollywood—an electric guitar-centric, anthemic assemblage of, really, everything the band does great.

Made with analog precision, the album was finished in the immediate months after the band completed Everything Harmony during a vibrant, prolific period split between three studios on separate coasts. A Dream Is All We Know is a profoundly dense and charged album, rife with string arrangements and a sonic thesis statement that has quaked through phases of glam, conceptualism, baroque, and Mustang-loud, stone-cold rock ‘n’ roll for more than half-a-century.

It’s a song that grapples with the idea of approaching unknowns, and how conflicting attitudes illicit different responses to the same situation. More directly, it’s about staring death in the face and choosing how to come to terms with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNewly signed to SO Recordings and with a debut album proper in hand, The Joy Hotel have become a word-of-mouth success story in the Scottish DIY scene, and have since taken their live show across the UK and Europe, playing festivals including Hidden Door, Doune the Rabbit Hole, Connect, TRNSMT, Twisterella, Latitude, Sound City and The Great Escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band spent eleven days at Rockfield, the legendary studio in Monmouth, Wales, recording live-to-tape. When they left, they had a sound. It is often contradictory, in that it combines the songwriting sensibilities of pop and country with arrangements reminiscent of the psychedelic scene of the 60s, six-part vocal harmonies with elements of noise rock, beautiful balladry with a sense of humour, and a cinematic quality. The result of those eleven days is debut album Ceremony, a record that searches for the profound in the seemingly routine, and reaches out with arms wide open to wring celebration out of each moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeremony will be accompanied by a short film documenting the creation of the album called ‘Come The Ringing Bell’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003cbr\u003e1.

After his first group KMD’s sophomore album Black Bastards was shelved by Elektra in 1994, and his blood brother Subroc — one half of the sibling rap duo — passed away, surviving frontman Zev Love X slowly mutated into the supervillain MC known as MF DOOM, and the rap world is better for it.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The 1999 release of Operation: Doomsday marked MF DOOM’s official debut, reintroducing a mysterious figure who would soon become one of underground rap’s greatest voices. Within its 19 tracks, Operation: Doomsday reveals the confluence of DOOM’s tragic past, personal interests and daring creativity. His clever rhymes and remarkable schemes stood out against the landscape, and every sound he touched — from cartoon theme songs, to ‘80s soul, to rap classics and more — got reinterpreted into something brand new and surreal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecades later, MF DOOM is still celebrated for all facets of his work and influence. In the face of tragedy, DOOM re-infiltrated the rap game on his own terms, and crafted an instant cult classic.
