britischer folk-troubadour richard dawson legt neues album peasant vor! der gitarrist und sänger richard dawson genießt bei sich zuhause in newcastle legendenstatus im bereich des progressiven folk. ende 2014 legte er mit seinem ersten domino-album nothing important ein inbrünstiges mammut-werk vor (4 songs, 45min laufzeit). hörer dieses albums verstanden schnell, dass der scheinbar schüchterne titel nur mit einem großen augenzwinkern zu verstehen sei. das spex-magazin ernannte nothing important kurzerhand zum album der ausgabe (nov 2014). man dachte, dawson könne dieses musikalische statement schwerlich toppen. auf seinem neuen album peasant beweist er das gegenteil. aus bipolaren song dekonstruktionen wurden folk-bronzen ganz neuer qualität (ogre). seine minimalistische wucht wurde mit fast biblischen chören aufgestockt (weaver). und die atonalität ist mit hilfe von so imposanten wie feinfühligen arrangements in richtung geschmeidigkeit verschoben (beggar). die epischen songs mit Überlänge aber sind aus dawsons song-universum natürlich auch auf peasant nicht wegzudenken (masseuse). es wäre falsch zu behaupten, dawson hätte an schrulligkeit und scharfen kanten verloren. die wird man ihm nie austreiben können. peasant jedoch wird eine neue welle von dawson-anhängern mit sich bringen. er ist und bleibt ein britischer troubadour, wie es ihn nur einmal gibt.

saves *monsters and fairies* is an abandoned hotel room located somewhere between england and spain. it is real for some while for others it is just a fantasy. who knows?
it is in this exact same place that the american singer/vocalist craig louis higgins jr. (paranoid london/mutado pintado/black daniel), the australian singer/composer saskia sansom and the fench electronic music composer marc nguyen tan (colder) got together to record these songs during the year 2012. however some listeners will find interesting to know, that until today, the three of them have never actually met in person.
four tracks from this experience are available now on limited 10 inch vinyl with original artwork by london artist sara pope.

peasant vitality marks their first vinyl release with a three track ep from trans-atlantic musician/vocalist mutado pintado...

gathaspar versteht es, große gefühle in die tiefen hinab gleiten zu lassen, ohne dabei die tanzenden gemüter aus den augen zu verlieren und mit etwas schräglage zu überraschen. die lauten gröler sackt er dabei nicht ein – gut so! dafür eine schar von seelen, die sich wahlweise mit geschlossenen augen seiner musik hingeben wollen. gathaspar understands that great feelings in the depths are allowed to glide without leaving the dancing-disposed. and with a slight incline as a surprise. the loud growls arent in the bag – just as it should be! however there is a sliver of soul, that wants the music to be captured with closed eyes

winter, or a time which represents that season, in a metropole that appears to be moscow. the visitor is taking metro no. 6 at leninsky prospect as he is on his way to the ballroom close to gorky park. the air is icy, the sky is grey. a cat, previously hidden among the dirty snow, is crossing his way. the closer he gets to his destination, the clearer he can hear music, music that reminds him of future days. the dimly lit room is only sparsely filled. on stage a graceful singer, capturing the room with her presence. captive voices merge with chords played on yet unknown instruments machine rhythms cycle in 3/4 time. the vigorous peasant dancers, following an instinctive knowledge of the weight of fall, utilize their surplus energy to press all their strength into the proper beat of the measure, thus intensifying their personal enjoyment in dancing. here, in the transhuman ballroom, time stands still and values are being dissolved by numeric progressions. spiritually allied, the visitor, the singer and the peasant dancers short-circuit the present moment while the last falling snow slowly turns into rain. with walzerzyklus, atomtm returns to raster to complete his series that has once begun with liedgut and continued with winterreise. the 7 tracks, created in collaboration with russian singer lisokot, are subdivided into 3 pieces of 2 minutes each and 4 pieces of 3 minutes each, intentionally reflecting the 3/4 time of a classic waltz. throughout the release, lisokot’s delicate vocals are put into different relations to atomtms rather cool machine music, either complementing or contrasting each other. in the same line, the 3 shorter leitmotifs provide the main theme that is taken up repeatedly in the course of the release.

its been almost two years to the day since we ve last heard from our dear friend & resident grodno beat-smith funkyjaws. his legendary string of releases on our label over the years have been some of the most revered music we ve ever released. that being said, a fresh new 10inch from the man himself was always a question of when, not if. well, here it is.
