They are set to release their self-titled debut album ; a stunning, one-off live show recorded with American guitarist Marc Ribot (Robert Plant, Tom Waits, Wilson Pickett, Marianne Faithfull, The Black Keys, John Zorn).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on latin, jazz, cuban, and rock with a touch of exoticism and cinematic explorations, ‘Early Life Forms’ cites Ry Cooder, Henry Mancini, Los Lobos, Ennio Morricone and of course Ribot, as heavy influences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving already earned his spurs as a sideman with artists including Naïma Joris, Bombataz and Lara Rosseel, rising Belgian star Pauwels released his debut album 'Day at Half Speed' in 2019, which explored the possibilities of acoustic guitar and live electronics. This experiment became a new artistic path for Pauwels and showcased his musical versatility, with second album 'Drift By, Sink In', released to critical acclaim in 2022.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe same year, Pauwels was invited as special guest by the BRAND! Festival, Mechelen, to showcase new material and he came up with the idea of putting together his ‘dream’ live band which included his hero Marc Ribot, one of world's most accomplished and acclaimed guitar players. Reaching out to him via videos and early demos for this new recording project, Ribot liked what he heard and agreed to perform with Pauwels and his new project Early Life Forms in what would be the band’s first ever live show.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoined by Frederik Leroux (baritone guitar), Laurens Dierickx (Hammond organ) and Casper Van De Velde (drums), during the lead up to the festival, Pauwels wrote a number of songs he felt would work for the live show, with the only agreement being that there would be no rehearsals ahead of the performance, only a brief soundcheck beforehand with Ribot. The music was stripped down to its essentials – compelling melodies, themes, and clear forms but with the possibility to change direction at any given moment. “The music was played and heard for the first time, and it felt like a birth of something that needed to be alive. We felt connected in the right state of mind – relaxed and focused – and it all happened in a rush of shared energy. No ego's or fear, only connection and the music”, states Pauwels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is something existential, primary, something epic and at the same time youthfully uncomplicated, which is strongly associated with the music. From the mischievous and imaginative ‘My Little Renaissance’ to the adventurous and hypnotic ‘Latin Dancer’, ‘Early Life Forms’ is overflowing with sharp twists and turns, with Ribot’s heavily rhythmic, distorted guitar amplifying the cinematic feel to the sound. The on-stage relationship between each member of the band and Ribot is childishly uncomplicated, something primary but always epic. The music is left to the moment and the magic of their first encounter with their hero Ribot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Marc's commitment in the music was better than I could have hoped for. What he played was with 200% intention, putting the rest of us in a state of hyperfocus. Given the fact that it was a one-time thing and a recording, we took risks without 'overplaying' or overthinking it. Right before the gig, we felt an urge to play, Marc said, \"Let's rock!!\" and we hit the stage”, says Pauwels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTRACKLISTING \u003cbr\u003eA1. Overland A2.

Beginning with kranky's release of the soundtrack for an imaginary film That That Is...Is(Not) by Roy's duo Dissolve early in the year, a series of superb albums and singles have been issued by a variety of labels across the world. Each one of them is a must have. Most recently, the Drunken Fish label released a collection of pastoral drones entitled Scenes From The South Island, singles have appeared on the Roof Bolt and gyttja labels, and further singles are scheduled with Ajax, Siltbreeze and others.\u003cbr\u003eTemple IV is the first solo recording by Roy Montgomery on kranky. The album was recorded by Roy on a 4 track tape deck and then thickened up with monophonic moog. The tracks on the album are thick with interwoven guitar lines and moog drone, inspired by the Guatemalan rain forests and the mysterious ruins of the temple and ruins Roy visited there.\u003cbr\u003eRoy Montgomery spent the past year in New York, Chicago and London before returning to New Zealand. While in the UK he played live with Flying Saucer Attack and collaborated with spoken word performer Kirk Lake. A brief tour across the United States in September saw Roy performing before enraptured audiences in New York, Boston, Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles.\u003cbr\u003eThe long overdue recognition of Roy Montgomery as a crucial figure in New Zealand's musical history as a member of The Pin Group, Shallows and Dadamah, is now augmented by his new recordings.

In addition to exquisite grooves and hard-pounding drums, these songs shared Dutch lyrics, offering a unique compilation of lyric-driven Flemish and Dutch music from back in the days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet, nothing is as certain as the unexpected. This compilation marked the first time a Dutch album uncovered the authentic Afro-American funk and soul vibe, which, albeit sporadically, influenced the work of both popular and lesser-known singers and musicians in this corner of the world during the 1970s. Undoubtedly, influences also stemmed from French chanson and rock music of the era. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 21- track album shattered all musical predictability, taking listeners on a strange and nostalgic journey, offering a revised collection of essential homegrown classics for local listeners while also captivating non-Dutch-speaking audiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the second compilation, Harde Smart shifts its focus from the 1970s sound to explore the next\u003cbr\u003edecade, the 1980s. Vinyl aficionados No Sleep Richy and Micha Marva joined forces with Sjefke De Kok, one of Holland’s premier crate diggers, to continue their musical odyssey. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDigging even deeper into dusty bins filled with Dutch and Flemish records once again unearthed an exquisite selection of tracks—too weird to play, too rare to ignore. From butt-shaking boogie to weird disco adventures on wax, this album encapsulates all the good stuff of the 1980s: smooth and seductive alongside dark and wavy.

Whilst their debut album ‘The Big Dig’, released in 1999 on Too Pure Records, is considered a classic of the post rock genre, Billy Mahonie always crafted their intricate music with memorable hooks and melodies and performed it with energy and gusto. Theirs was not an aimless, meandering sound, instead the songs and attitude were rooted in punk rock, and still are. Billy Mahonie put the rock into post-rock.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSet for release this coming May 24th via Whistling Sam Projects, ‘Field Of Heads’ sees the band returning with their classic original line-up of Gavin Baker (guitar), Howard Monk (drums), Hywell Dinsdale (bass and guitar) and Kevin Penney (bass and guitar). Whilst this line-up has been semi active for a few years, no new material came to fruition. After their last gig in 2017, however, the band decided it was time to get back into the studio, but with two members living abroad new challenges were faced, but ideas were shared, old ones were resurrected and finally in October of 2019, Billy Mahonie were back in the studio. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecorded over two long weekends on either side of the Covid 19 lockdowns, the band tracked at The Church studios, owned by their former collaborator and front of house engineer Paul Epworth, with senior engineer Luke Pickering at the controls, allowing ‘Field Of Heads’ to quickly take shape.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew single ‘Kaiju’ gives the music world the first taste of ‘Field Of Heads’ and right from the off, it’s classic Billy Mahonie. Immediately bursting into life with the energy and melody that is so unique to their sound, Howard’s driving drums thrust the music ahead as the guitars and synths weave their way around them. Intricate and shifting, but never at the expense of a tune that sticks in your head. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“This one came from a chord progression myself and Gav first tried out jamming in 2010,” explains drummer Howard. “Needless to say, when Hywell and Kev got their hands on it, it became something no-one ever envisaged. Kev's great title is, of course, the Japanese name for the subgenre of monster-based science fiction. A frenetic riff opens the song and for a counter guitar part only two options remain, play in the minimal gaps or find an overarching theme. We chose both. Kaiju films influence the additional Synths, echoes of those early Japanese movie themes. Some people we have played this to in advance have suggested this track is one we should lead with, as it is kind of where we left off. We agree. It rocks pretty hard. And is a bit funky too.

The A-Side stays in Detroit and finishes with “Your Body”, an exclusive track by AMX, also known as The AM, one of Detroit’s freshest funk techno sensations.

The thrill continues with “Metal Goat”, by JakoJako, one of Berlin’s brightest synth sensations. She provides an introspective grower that slowly evolves into a fast-paced techno grinder, laden with micro shifts and magic twists. The final tune comes from Erik Jabari, a newcomer from the 030 zone, emerging from the Hard Wax peers with haunting modular synth techno–a feverish minimalistic trip of motorized kicks.

A black hole is a celestial object whose gravity is so strong that no information leaks out, so it was impossible to observe it, and it was only a theoretical existence, but its location was identified for the first time in 2011. The latest research shows that it rotates on its own axis. Black holes are physically contradictory entities that are difficult to imagine, but what Jeff Mills is trying to deal with in ``The Trip'' also overlaps with singularity, which is the beginning or possible end of time and space.

Experimenting with themes and atypical song structures, the music moves from dramatic cues to fragile romanticism. It incorporates psychedelic spaciness, retro soul and hip-hop sensibilities informed by The Offline’s extensive record collection and crate-digger status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Ever since I was a child, I was fascinated by the soundtracks from the 60s and 70s, and I always wanted to make an album in the film score direction. I wrote about 30 demos, kicked half of it and stuck to the ones that felt right in the dramaturgical structure of the ‘movie'. Interestingly the main theme was set early on while writing the album, which made the writing process much easier.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAptly named, ‘Thème de la couleur de la mer’ opens proceedings, establishing the core motifs of the record. Haunting flutes and xylophones lead the way into Khruangbin-esque guitar lines, which sit against a hip-hop canvas that returns on boom-bap head boppers like ‘Quelque chose reste’. Retro soul revival takes precedence on deep cuts like ‘Un bout de chemin’, with wah-gated guitars interacting with emotive cello lines and symphonic string \u0026amp; horn sections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Offline came to life when composer and photographer Felix Müller travelled the Atlantic coastline in the south of France with his analogue camera, capturing beach life on film. After coming back to Hamburg, he started writing songs as the sonic counterpart to the analogue visuals. His Debut EP ‘En Clair-Obscur’ includes five tracks that capture the essence of his journey and the feeling of a cool summer soundtrack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSUPPORT:\u003cbr\u003eGilles Peterson – 6 Music + WWFM\u003cbr\u003eHuey Morgan – 6 Music\u003cbr\u003eDeb Grant – 6 Music\u003cbr\u003eTom Ravenscroft – 6 Music\u003cbr\u003eJyoty – RINSE FM\u003cbr\u003eJazz FM (Various)\u003cbr\u003eFIP (Various)\u003cbr\u003eSoho Radio (Various)\u003cbr\u003eNTS (Various)\u003cbr\u003eReprezent Radio (Various)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eA Side:\u003cbr\u003eA1- Thème de la couleur de la mer\u003cbr\u003eA2 - L'eau\u003cbr\u003eA3 - Jeanne et Alain\u003cbr\u003eA4 - Quelque chose reste\u003cbr\u003eA5 - Le motard\u003cbr\u003eA6 - L'eau (Reprise)\u003cbr\u003eA7 - La mission commence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB Side:\u003cbr\u003eB1 - Cap Camarat\u003cbr\u003eB2 - Un bout de chemin\u003cbr\u003eB3 - No. 33\u003cbr\u003eB4 - Sous-marin\u003cbr\u003eB5 - La couleur de la mer\u003cbr\u003eB6 - Enfin, la paix\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DeepMatter Records \/ Root Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43554287059100,"sku":"RR 01","price":21.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/TheOffline-Album_Digital-Final.jpg?v=1713840605"},{"product_id":"nightports-w-matthew-bourne-dulcitone-1804-cd","title":"Nightports w\/ Matthew Bourne - Dulcitone 1804 [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: CD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: BAY139CD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 843190013920 \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 24 May 2024\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Electronic\/Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNightports is based on a simple but unbreakable rule of restriction: only sounds produced by the featured musician can be used. Nothing else. These sounds can be transformed, distorted, translated, processed and reprocessed, stretched, cut, ordered and reordered without limitation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDulcitone 1804 is the fourth collaborative album by musician-producers Adam Martin and Mark Slater to be released on The Leaf Label, following a trilogy of albums with Matthew Bourne (2018), The Comet Is Coming drummer Betamax (2020) and double bassist Tom Herbert (2022). Nightports are reunited with pianist and composer Matthew Bourne, this time exploring a rare 19th century keyboard instrument called a dulcitone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dulcitone produces sound when felt-covered hammers hit a series of tuning forks, causing them to vibrate - a precursor to the now iconic Fender Rhodes, which took the same concept but was designed for electric amplification. It was invented by Thomas Machell in Glasgow in around 1860 and produced in small quantities for about 40 years. Dulcitone 1804 was produced on instrument number 1804, and is believed to be the first album made entirely on the dulcitone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album came about almost by accident, when Martin and Slater were at Bourne’s studio working on another project and spotted a small, unassuming instrument against the wall. “As Matthew does with all instruments he plays, the first sounds he made with the dulcitone were immediately beautiful,” Martin explains. “Somewhere between a celeste and a piano, it has a clear, bell-like quality that’s evocative of a strange other world. Something old and distant.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● Dulcitone 1804 will be released in a limited edition of 500 CDs with artwork by Split design\u003cbr\u003e● The material will make its live debut at the beautiful Howard Assembly Room in Leeds on June 9th as part of the Brudenell Piano Sessions\u003cbr\u003e● Support at radio from Mary Anne Hobbs, Giles Peterson and Stuart Maconie at BBC 6 Music, and BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction and Unclassified\u003cbr\u003e● For fans of: Pantha Du Prince \u0026amp; The Bell Laboratory, Nils Frahm, Hauschka, Laraaji, Colleen andLaurie Spiegel\u003cbr\u003e● UK promotion will be handled in house \u0026lt;publicity@theleaflabel.com\u0026gt;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLive:\u003cbr\u003eSunday 9th June : Howard Assembly Room, Leeds, UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD\/digital: 1.
