for over 12 months thomas feriero aka avatism, our friend and label partner, has been staying at home and working on his album. he moved to berlin to work on it and now sadly (for us) yet (gladly) for him he is moving back to milan. poof! just like that. so what did this year entail exactly? well for some of us not much. we got to see him in his studio comfy pants a couple of times (he wears slippers) we heard his studio woes, ate pasta with him, drank beers and of course got to hear his album at every juncture. while this self-imposed exile may have been a little worrisome the result is fortunately spectacular. adamant is a glimpse into how a city shapes a life and how intrinsically life then shapes music.

what a combination!pachanga boys rebolledo and gomma boss munk doing a single together! and when two freaks like them meet for music ñ the result has to be a masterpiece of craziness! surf smurf is a dirty 60ies surf rock song gone electronic. sounds like a david lynch soundtrack for a movie he does in 2030.

polly scattergood ist die 25-jährige sängerin, songwriterin und produzentin, die vor einigen jahren ihr - hierzulande nur als import erhältliches - debüt herausbrachte. ihr zweitling *arrows* erscheint mitte oktober nun weltweit via mute. ganze zwei jahre dauerte es, bis das zwischen frankreich, deutschland und england geschriebene und von ken thomas (sigur ros, dave gahan, m83) und jolyon thomas produzierte album endlich vollendet war. mit scattergood am steuer wurde solange an jeder note und jedem kratzenden sound gefeilt, bis alles an seinem platz saß. konzentriert darauf, ein pulsierendes werk zu schaffen, das inspiration und euphorie mit wut und kathartischer erlösung vereint, bleibt polly scattergood auch bei diesem album ihrem gekonnten stilmix aus storytelling und soul-searching treu.
der vinyl-lp liegt die cd-version des albums bei.

in the 70s radio stations were a powerful force across the whole of the us, and anyone with a transistor radio had access all kinds of music. live music was another matter altogether, and unless you found yourself in a major city your nights out were limited to what the local talent had to offer. this was especially so with soul and funk acts, as mainstream rock and pop was where the money was. so for small time oklahoma soul bands such as husband and wife charles and barbara burtons groups messengers inc - and later burton inc - times were tough. however, like many purveyors of soul, tough times were no match for those with determination, persistence and a story to tell. many artists scraped enough money together to make a 45 or two on their own label, but the burtons took this to another level – they got themselves organised and released their own full length lps.
limited to 1000 individually numbered vinyl lps.
