Jonathan Jeremiah - Horsepower For The Streets - VINYL LP

Liverpool-based four piece; Courting returns with sophomore album, New Last Name. The new album is unrestrained and chaotic, and at the same time more focused and detail-oriented than anything Courting have done before. InchWe'd spent our last album campaign giving ourselves a fresh slate,Inch explains vocalist Sean Murphy-O'Neill. InchThat whole record to me in hindsight felt like we had a chance to get rid of any misconceptions about us and present ourselves as an interesting band. On New Last Name, we're moving past that, we just want to make something really special.Inch Brimming with nuance and pop culture references, the band strikes up a track list ranging from funk-pop guitars in InchWe Look Good TogetherInch through to the baroque strings in InchFlexInch or even the country-tinged stylings of InchBabysInch. It would be an understatement to call New Last Name adventurous. Album Tracks 1. Throw 2. We Look Good Together (Big Words) 3. The Hills 4. Flex 5. Emily G 6. Babys 7. The Wedding 8. Happy Endings 9. America

Infinity Mirrors' is a representation of the ongoing process of learning about who we are and how we chose to live our lives. Taking moments to reflect on where we have come from, where we currently are, and where we might be going.Thematically, this record explores a breadth of human experiences... Yearning to be with loved ones far away, battling with anxiety, recognizing love felt for the first time, welcoming life into the world, learning to go with the flow & not get caught up on focusing on things that don't necessarily matter.Written, developed and reworked over the five year period since second album 'Next to Nothing'.The process of this album spanned over two different studios, birth, death, the pandemic and more. Almost all of the music on this record was started between 2020 & 2021. It's been an enlightening experience being able to go back to old tracks and re-work them to bring them up to date based on my lived experiences up until that point. With each new revision I have learnt something else about my creative practice and brought my current self into the music whilst also maintaining where I've been at previously.This album has the most features on any of my records to date, both long time and brand new collaborators with guest appearances from Laura Misch, Marysia Osu, Andrew Ashong, Julia Biel, Daries Street-Soul, Tawiah, Alexa Harley, Rohan Ayinde, and Alex Cosmo Blake.Tracklisting A1.

Long regarded as one of the best live acts in NY, Oakley Hall delivers this masterpiece, recorded over several sessions at the Sunset Grill in Brooklyn in late 2005. It's their second full-length of 2006 and first on Brah Records. Springing from 60's west coast legends like the Byrds, the Flying Burrito Bros., the Charlatans, and Moby Grape, adding elements of X, Neu, the Feelies, Mercury Rev, and Fairport Convention, this record finds the group refusing the dictates of stale No-Depression era norms. The sextet's trademark killer songwriting chops boast some beautiful ballads that temper the heavier tunes. All told, InchGypsum StringsInch cements Oakley Hall's rep as luminaries of the new psych-roots movement. Album Tracks 1. Confidence Man 2. Having Fun Again 3. Lazy Susan 4. Living in Sin in the USA 5. House Carpenter 6. Bury Your Burden 7. If I Was in El Dorado 8. Nite Lights, Dark Days 9. Spanish Fandango
