100 Gets ‘1000 Gecs & The Tree Of Clues’ out 10th July 2020

100 gecs 'money machine' Shot by gabe howell

Their debut album 1000 gecs was released in 2019, and they’ve racked up 9,000,000 Spotify streams on “money machine” alone. They are yet to break into the mainstream electronic world, however, but with music as wobbly and industrial as theirs, it’s anyone’s guess if they ever will – or if it even matters.

The duo’s remix album 1,000 gecs and the Tree Of Clues consists of nineteen outrageous mismatched and misaligned tracks featuring a hoarde of guests that would make the nearest...

Northbound Stowaway - Directed by Niall Mc Cann & Adrian Crowley

“When Adrian asked me if I would work on the video for Northbound Stowaway the first thing we had to figure out was how we make it while not being able to leave the house. Restrictions are often a good thing when making something like this. Our ability to shoot footage or meet up was obviously curtailed, but constraints can be your friend. Adrian would shoot different takes of him singing the song and would send it over to me to work on. The video is kind of like how you might feel after 24...

Adrianne Lenker ‘Songs’ out 23rd October 2020

Filmed by Adrianne Lenker and Philip Weinrobe

Lenker made the record (out on 4AD) in a one-room cabin in the woods of Western Massachusetts where she holed up in spring, waiting out the early days of the pandemic and reeling from a broken heart. The simple pinewood planks of the shack’s interior reminded her, she said, of “the inside of an acoustic guitar,” which is to say it felt like home. Her friend Philip Weinrobe, a recording engineer, was summoned with a truckload of gear: half-inch tape machines, XLR cables, a binaural mic. ...

We’ve changed our name. It isn’t radical, but with the nature of how the band of how it has been for the last eight or so years (more of a group, less of a collaborative project), we’ve decided to shorten it to ‘Big Eyes Family’. I hope that is ok with you.

Myths and truths of a country on the way down, viewed through a deep-focus lens trained on the city from the deserts on the east; a terminus of unoccupied residential parks and streets fading into craggy footpaths to nowhere, where our passage is seen as diligent, ephemeral and grotesque by turns, forgiven and made beautiful again by the sound.

Dan Deacon ‘Mystic Familiar’ out 31st January 2020

'The Making of 'Mystic Familiar' - Director Corey Hughes

Dan Deacon’s most emotionally open and transcendent record, Mystic Familiar’s 11 kaleidoscopic tracks of majestic synth-pop exponentially expand his sound with unfettered imagination and newfound vulnerability. It’s the first album where Deacon presents his natural singing voice, unprocessed and with only minimal accompaniment; a vulnerable shift in a songbook abundant with characters, metaphors, and distorted vocals.

Video - The Talis-man on the Age of Glass (Redux)

The LP  sees Lookman explore experimental ground, touching on a bit of everything from rap to psychedelic folk, and sultry grooves which venture into extended hypnotic jams.

It is rooted in the stories, atmospheres, mistakes and wrong turns, desires and layers of meaning that run through and play out in the landscapes we inhabit. The songs are snapshots of late night journeys across the river, the sparks of love that transform us and keep us going, the dead ends that the mind can lead ...
