“gooey and romantic and heartbreakingly huge”

– The FADER

“weightless in sound and heavy in feeling”

– Pitchfork

(Toronto, ON – February 27, 2019) – Today, Honey Harper releases his first single since his debut EP Universal Country. “Strawberry Lite” is a song that transcends specific origins, incorporating vocals reminiscent of growing up in Georgia, but with a sound refined in the UK while living outside the typical borders of country music. Harper took time with the new music, allowing it to grow and evolve through different variations and letting it find its own life and swell with a range of emotion. The single is one half of a forthcoming EP due in April.

Speaking about how the song came together, Honey Harper shares, “‘Strawberry Lite’ was written on the couch in my living room and on the floor of Dean Street Studios, where I record most often. I lay on the ground of the studio with Mick and Gus, two of my band members, as we discussed the song and what we all thought it meant. We talked about the past and the future, stress and letting go, The Grateful Dead, old hippie slogans, and hip new t-shirt companies and I wrote out new lines and transcribed mumbled demo verses to finish the lyrics.” Finally, he deconstructed the song and pieced it back together with the help of Parisian production trio Mind Gamers (Sebastien Tellier, John Kirby, and Daniel Stricker) to create the final version of the song as it stands now.

Honey Harper, born William Fussell, grew up surrounded by country music in the heart of Georgia. He introduced himself to the country music world with his debut EP Universal Country in 2017, a genre-bending project pieced together over multiple years with deep ties to Harper’s Georgia roots. The critically-acclaimed EP showcased a multi-faceted new vision of country music and harnessed its most beautiful elements from an outsider’s perspective. Now, with new music on the horizon, Honey Harper is set to become the torchbearer for a revitalized country sound. He is currently in the studio working on his full length debut album for later this year.

Hear “Strawberry Lite” above and stay tuned for more from Honey Harper coming soon.

THE MURLOCS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM MANIC CANDID EPISODE

ATO Records, Flightless Records, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Manic Candid Episode, Murlocs, Withstand

RELEASE NEW TRACK AND VIDEO “WITHSTAND”

UPCOMING NORTH AMERICAN TOUR WITH DATES IN VANCOUVER, MONTREAL AND TORONTO

(Toronto, ON – February 22, 2019) – Australia’s The Murlocs have announced a new album Manic Candid Episode, out March 22nd on Flightless Records and ATO Records. Alongside the news of the upcoming record, the band has released a new track and video, “Withstand”, from it. Manic Candid Episode is available for pre-order, alongside limited edition re-issues of the band’s earlier records Old Locomotive and Young Blindness HERE.

The new album and song come on the heels of last month’s announcement of their first North American headline tour and a new single “Comfort Zone” which will also appear on Manic Candid Episode. The tour includes stops at Shaky Knees, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.

The Murlocs, lead by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizards’ Ambrose Kenny-Smith and also featuring Gizz’s lead guitar player Cook Craig, make psych-laced garage blues rock. Recorded at Melbourne’s Newmarket studios, Manic Candid Episode was produced by Stu Mackenzie (King Gizzard) and mixed by NYC musician Jarvis Taveniere (Real Estate, Woods, Parquet Courts).

Formed in late 2010 by harp player Ambrose Kenny-Smith, the five members of The Murlocs play their own blown-out, distorted brand of soulful RnB. They have already played numerous Australian music festivals as well as supporting acts such as Gary Clarke Jr., Mac Demarco, Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, The Pixies, Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks, Wavves and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Their up-tempo snare cracks and noisy guitars, accompanied by Ambrose’s warm vocals have been described as a mesmerizing, demented dance party.

UPCOMING STOP IN VANCOUVER ON FRIDAY

“London’s most exciting pop artist” -Pitchfork

“An infectious earworm… The song feels like a moment of clarity for the singer” -NPR

“Boldness is warranted when you’ve got a hook as devastating as the one that Nilüfer Yanya repeats” -The New York Times

Listen to “Tears” Here

Watch the video for “In Your Head” Here

(Toronto, ON – February 20, 2019) – Nilüfer Yanya, London’s 23-year-old “effortlessly smooth new soul star” (The FADER) is sharing the track ‘Tears’ today – the third new track from her debut full-length album Miss Universe.Tears” continues to show off the dynamic cohesion of Nilüfer’s upcoming record while flaunting its poppier side. Miss Universe will be released on March 22nd via ATO Records. Beats 1 Radio’s Zane Lowe featured ‘Tears’ as a World First on his Beats 1 show this afternoon.

‘Tears’ comes accompanied by a lyric video featuring the branding of the shadowy ‘WWAYH’ (WE WORRY ABOUT YOUR HEALTH™) organisation whose darkly funny automated phoneline interludes are peppered throughout the glorious Miss Universe. The mind department of WE WORRY ABOUT YOUR HEALTH™ issued this statement: “Despite previous claims of crying being natural response to stress and regarded as healthy, recent studies have unearthed evidence that proves this claim as untrue. It can also simulate similar responses in others to varying degrees, primarily targeting the vulnerable (infants, children and elderly) which makes it a socially irresponsible behaviour. The Body department would like to add it is also a waste of bodily fluids and self destructive to one’s health hereby deeming the act of crying illegal.”

Upon release in January, “In Your Head” was proclaimed one of NPR’s “20 Best Songs We Heard for January”, a Sunday Times Culture ‘Hottest Track’, one of The Guardian’s ’50 Great Tracks For February’ and landed in The FADER’s ’20 best rock songs right now’playlist – setting the tone for what’s still to come with the release of Miss Universe in March. Largely recorded in the same remote Penzance studio she used to jam in with her uncle Joe – a former musician himself – Miss Universe features co-productions with both her former school guitar teacher The Invisible’s Dave Okumu and her live bandmates Jazzi Bobbi and Luke Bower, as well as producers John Congleton, Oli Barton-Wood, Will Archer and M.T. Hadley.

2019 started in whirlwind fashion with Nilüfer touring across North America in January and February with Sharon Van Etten, including a stop in Vancouver on Friday. Next, Nilüfer will embark on her biggest U.K., Europe and Turkey headlining tour to date in April. Following that, she will head back to the US for a headlining date at NYC’s Rough Trade on July 23. Tickets for that show will be on-sale this Friday, February 22nd at 12pm EST HERE.

Though she’d been writing songs in her head since she was six, and on the guitar since she was 12, it took a long time for Nilüfer Yanya to work up the courage to show anyone her music. “I knew I wanted to sing, but the idea of actually having to do it was really horrifying,” says the 23-year-old. When she was finally persuaded to do so, by a music teacher in West London where she grew up, she says “it was horrible. I loved it”.

At 18, Nilüfer – who is of Turkish-Irish-Bajan heritage – uploaded a few demos to SoundCloud. Though she’s preternaturally shy, her music – which uniquely blends elements of soul and jazz into intimate pop songs with electronic flourishes and a newly expressed grungy guitar sound – isn’t. And it didn’t take long for it to catch people’s attention. She signed with independent New York label ATO, following three EPs on esteemed london indie label Blue Flowers, and earned a place on the BBC Sound of 2018 longlist. She also supported the likes of The xx, Interpol, Broken Social Scene and Mitski on tour.

Now, Nilüfer is ready to release her debut album, Miss Universe. Though she recorded much of it in the same remote Cornwall studio she used to jam in as a much younger person, it is bigger and more ambitious than anything she has done before. ‘Angels’, with its muted, harmonic riffs, channels ideas “of paranoid thoughts and anxiety” – a theme that runs through the album, not least in its conceptual spoken word interludes which emanate from a fictional health management company WE WORRY ABOUT YOUR HEALTH™. “You sign up, and you pay a fee,” explains Nilüfer of the automated messages, which are littered through the album and are narrated by the titular Miss Universe. “They sort out all of your dietary requirements, and then they move onto medication, and then maybe you can get a better organ or something… and then suddenly it starts to get a bit weird. You’re giving them more of you and to what end?”

THE CLAYPOOL LENNON DELIRIUM SHARE NEW TRACK “AMETHYST REALM” FROM SOUTH OF REALITY OUT FEBRUARY 22, 2019 ON ATO RECORDS

February 19, 2019 by Cadence Recordings

HEADLINING NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF IN TORONTO IN APRIL

Toronto, ON – February 15, 2019) – Leading into the release of their sophomore album South of Reality on February 22nd via ATO Records, The Claypool Lennon Delirium are keeping busy. Today, the dynamic duo released a new track, ” Amethyst Realm”, following last week’s release of an animated video for first single “Blood and Rockets“.

The Claypool Lennon Delirium will appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this Monday, February 18th and will follow that appearance with a release event the evening of Tuesday, February 19th at Rough Trade NYC featuring Les Claypool and Sean Lennon in conversation with Mike Greenhaus of Relix Magazine. More info on that event can be found HERE. Additionally, the band is gearing up for a slew of North American tour dates in April (all dates below). Pre-order for the record is now available, and tickets for all dates are now on-sale to the general public.

South of Reality might be just the antidote this sick world needs. Music so potent it could repel an asteroid impact from space, these seasoned warriors of psychedelia have crafted timeless songs that may as well be chiseled in stone. The monolithic dream team’s new record was produced by Les Claypool and Sean Lennon themselves, and engineered and mixed by Les Claypool at his own Rancho Relaxo studio in Sonoma County, California.

Rolling Stone has said said the new record ” feels like an organic extension of Monolith of Phobos , blending the wildly surreal and psychedelic with satirical social commentary.” The New Yorker calls the band a “fully realized artistic effort”, recognizing the “natural chemistry” between Sean and Les. Consequence of Sound called the band a “super-duo” and Guitar Worldcalled the track “Blood and Rockets”, a “psych-rock epic”.

Known independently for their accomplished music careers, Sean Lennon and Les Claypool first envisioned melding their powers back in 2015, when Sean’s band The G.O.A.S.T.T. was opening for Primus on a summer tour. After setting the intergalactic scene ablaze with their first record, Monolith of Phobos , they’ve joined mustaches once more to wrap listeners up in a mind-bending sonic cyclone.

Claypool brings his skilled combo of rubber and grit, which is infused with Lennon’s melodic, spacey style. Together, they tightrope-walk the line between highbrow-clever and lowbrow-brilliant. The explosive result is like pink-flavored Starburst candy followed by a shot of moonshine for your eardrums; a twisted, auditory voyage that will have you singing and hallucinating along to every lyric.

South of Reality is an expression of our upside-down times, offering listeners both an escape from modern chaos and a filter through to which to embrace it. “Little Fishes” is a bittersweet lament to a purer time, pre-technology, pre-pollution-an ever-changing anthem that shifts time signatures and keys, calling back to the free-form rock of the 1960s as well as mirroring the way restless generations shift through profiles and apps. “Blood and Rockets,” “Borishka,” and “Amethyst Realm” immortalize oddball geniuses on the fringe of history who challenge the natural order of things. With the titular track, “South of Reality,” the listener is invited to consider the warped goggles through which the duo looks at the world-the fractured and manufactured intimacy that defines our everyday existence.

So grab your goggles and a month’s supply of Kool-Aid because The Claypool Lennon Delirium is about to take you for a ride on a rock ‘n’ roll rocket ship, and frankly you may never come back!
