DANIELLE GOLDSTEIN TIME OUT Meursault . Dull Spark Toad Records
A soft Edinburgh accent, like that of Meursault’s Neil Pennycook, lends modern folk a lilt so charming, it’s easy to miss the point. Such as with ‘Dull Spark’; it’s a lament about life’s tumults, but the crescendo of strings paired with triumphant chants and hand-claps evoke only warm, fuzzy feelings.
TC CLASH MAGAZINE The Winter Olympics . Profit And Loss Freakscene Records
The whole eighties revival has become rather tedious! But when you find a gen- uinely exciting band, where their influences are rooted matters not. Meet The Winter Olympics who have teased us with some wondrous singles and now the debut album. Superbly crafted and energetic guitar/synth post punk.
COLIN JACKSON PUBLICATION Perhaps Contraption . Cousin / Grandma Squier Records
You want ‘different? ’How about a seven-piece, art-punk, marching brass band? ‘Cousin / Grandma’ has a dose of everything, from Sousaphone and French Horn to snappy, sing-a-long boy / girl vocals and just about the weirdest music video you’ll ever see!
MARCUS BARNES INDEPENDENT BLOGS Last Magpie . (Who Knows) Where Love Goes EP Hypercolour
Last Magpie is a newcomer who encapsulates a very 'UK' approach to electronic music, concocting a sublime output of music that combines various genres, from garage to 'bass music' and deep house. Keep an eye out for new EP 1995, on Hypercolour's sub-label Losing Suki... it's a smash.
SIGNS O’ THE TIMES
Peermusic has announced the signing of lead singer and main songwriter David Rogers of the Australian band Nantes (pic- tured), who are currently record- ing their debut album at Studio 301 in Byron Bay. Indians, the musical alter ego
of Søren Løkke Juul, have signed to 4AD. After self-releas- ing their first single in April, they anticipate the release of their debut album in early-2013. Matt Cardle will release new
album, The Fire, on October 29 through his new label SO What? Recordings. Formed in 2010
under the Silva Screen Music Group umbrella, SO Recordings, signed Cardle to its newly formed SO What? imprint on a worldwide basis. Two-piece dance music act Disclosure have signed to PMR Records, the label home of Top 5 album artist Jessie Ware, Two Inch Punch and Julio Bashmore. The duo have signed a world- wide deal with their forthcoming single, Latch, to be released via the label on November 5. Disclosure’s previous releases were all on independent labels: Moshi Moshi, Transparent,
Commercial BT Paralympics/Olympics ‘Bringing Us All Together for 2012’ Track name Everybody’s On The Run Usage TV/Internet/Trade & PR Composer/Artist Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds (Noel Gallagher) Publisher Sony/ATV Music Publishing Artist Management Marcus Russell & Alec McKinlay at Ignition Key execs James Cooper (Sony/ATV), Alec McKinlay (Ignition)
For their Olympics/Paralympics cam- paign BT were searching for an epic and anthemic song which, along with the images of sporting endeav- our and achievement, would get the hairs on the back of your neck stand- ing up. It also seemed to make sense that the artist was a British icon. The start of the campaign coin- cided nicely with the release of Everybody’s On The Run as a single, and the ad also helped to move the album back into the Top 20.
Explains James Cooper (pictured) “I got a call from a sound designer I
used to work with, who was working on the commercial. I sat down in the studio with him and the commercial’s director and pitched ‘Everybody’s On The Run’. As soon as we synched the music to picture we could see how well it was worked. The music helps stir the anticipation and excite- ment in the ad and builds to a great crescendo.”
