EYRE LLEW will be touring the UK, playing a string of intimate shows to celebrate the release of a new Split EP collaboration they recorded with their South Korean tour exchange friends.
The split began in 2018 between Asia tour dates when both bands went into the studio together during their time in Seoul. It marks the end of an international tour exchange and an incredible time on the road together. We can’t wait for you to hear it. Learn more at www.eyrellew.com
Live fast die yung, Ride gals do it well. Teacha El and Checkyer Strides play 00s rnb and 90s hip hop and put their lighters up.
As the summer draws near and we hope to find ourselves clear of apocalyptic political turmoil and rationed vegetables – come wallow in your sorrows, have a big cry and unite together with some excellent sad house and very tasteful techno.
Tom VR is one of the chaps behind a fine label Valby Rotary – and makes brilliant music. His full length cassette album on all my thoughts and subsequent Coastal Tape caught our attention in a very big way, and now we’re delighted to find ourselves releasing an emotionally charged, fantastically engineered and very deep 4-tracker on Lionoil in the coming months. More on that to follow!
Likewise, M. Vaughan loves sad house music. His label Super Tuff Records out of Brooklyn is bloody great, we met IRL when he was over for a wedding last May and came along to the Bongo Club, and have been pen pals ever since. His recent outing on Jimpster’s Freerange is a thing of beauty, and somewhat serendipitously he’s also friends with Tom – so we’ve organised an intimate Scottish fixture to make the magical meeting happen in Sneaky Pete’s.
Amber Cross released her debut album “You Can Come In” in March of 2013. Country Music People Magazine/UK, discovered the album and gave it a 5 Star Review and CD Of The Month, saying “Every now and again a debut CD arrives and you know about 30 seconds in that you are experiencing something a bit special… it’s appeal is likely to be broad, from bluegrass, rootsy Appalachian, to country or honky-tonk.”
Authenticity is a difficult thing to measure in American roots music. It’s not in the hat you wear, or the twang in your voice. It’s in how well you understand that the music comes from the land, and that its roots run deep. Americana songwriter Amber Cross understands this, and on her new album, Savage on the Downhill, she makes music as beholden to the landscapes of Northern and Pacific California, where she lives and travels, as to the visually-rich songwriting she crafts around it. Her songs hang heavy with the yellow dust of dirt roads, plunge deep into the soft loam of the forest. Cross connected with other great American songwriters, Gurf Morlix and Tim O’Brien, who both came onboard for the album, with O’Brien complimenting her “no bullshit style of singing.” If there’s a rawness to Cross’ voice, a plainness to the words, it comes from the fact that Cross knows the roots of this music aren’t fancy. They’re built by hand and filled with honest words and hard-won truths.
The songs on Savage on the Downhill are deeply visual and inextricably tied to nature, whether the California forests that Cross roams through, or the high deserts outside Austin, Texas, where she recorded the album. Throughout, Cross moves easily through different styles of country and folk songwriting, from Bakersfield outlaw attitude to Woody Guthrie plain-spoken folk.
“Every once in a while music comes along that you just know instantly that you are going to like. Amber’s melodies are more than complemented by thoughtful, interesting and honest lyrics, along with fine, understated musicianship that proves the old adage that “less is more”. The result is a set of superbly crafted, well-rounded, addictive songs that stay with you long after the last notes have ended, and make you hungry for more.” -Duncan Warwick, Country Music People Magazine, UK

“The melodies are catchy as hell. You might not have heard of Ten Fe? yet, but once you have, it’ll be hard to shake from your skull” – NME
Named after the Spanish for “have faith’, London group Ten Fe? effortlessly combine disparate sounds from Americana, electronica, and dreampop into a direct and propulsive rock sound. Slinky guitars, washed out keys, rolling piano, pounding percussion put the fizz into their full-bodies sound.
Above all, Ten Fe? do earnestness bloody well, and they have the tunes to back it up.
