Kirlian Camera - Hellfire - VINYL LP

In January of 2010, high school juniors Carter Martin (vocals, guitar, keyboard) and Bryan Mooney (lead guitar) formed the indie/acoustic rock band Blackbird Sunset. The group was created as an act for their high school talent show, and that spring Blackbird Sunset released their self-titled EP online. The three songs were recorded at Hit & Run Studios in Gaithersburg, Maryland with locally famed engineer Steve Carr. The EP included two songs ('For You' and 'Lost') written before the creation of the band as well as a third song titled 'Fraying Hands'. The latter was featured on Esente's InchDC Rocks CDInch and various online jukeboxes, bringing both 'Fraying Hands' and Blackbird Sunset much attention. The following year, Martin and Mooney filled the band out, adding drummer Ben James (drums, djembe) and promptly began recording their first album InchCasual ObsessionsInch. The CD was recorded at Grubby Thicket Studios (Bethesda, MD) with engineer and classmate Sahil Ansari. The album includes revised versions of tracks from the original EP, as well as newly written hits. Blackbird Sunset's tunes are beautifully composed with Martin's soulful but sharp melodies, Mooney's intimate lyrics, and the enthusiastically strong rhythms of James on drums.

Limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on translucent yellow coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. The Two Sides Of Mary Wells is the seventh studio album by soul singer Mary Wells, released in 1966. Wells' career had drastically changed from just six years before when the then-teenage Wells first recorded songs for Motown. This album mixed traditional pop with more earthier and uptown soul songs. Wells released a modest hit with the Motown-esque InchDear LoverInch, which hit the top ten of the R&B charts.

On Monday May 9th we kick off our next Black Midi campaign for the band's sophomore album Hellfire, with the single & Gustaf Holtenäs (InchSlowInch) directed video InchWelcome To HellInch. Hellfire will be out on July 15th. The album was written in London 2021 and produced by Marta Salogni and Black Midi, with additional production from Max Goulding. Artwork was created by David Rudnick (who's done the artwork for all previous Black Midi albums as well), using AI technology into which he fed lyrics from the album to generate imagery which was then printed, cut up and reconfigured into a detailed and complex collage. No band can quite build their own universe like Black Midi. Hellfire, their third album and second in two years sees the London three piece at their most direct. InchWelcome To HellInch tells the story of a debauched soldier's excess and military discharge, soundtracked by funky guitar sections, driving horns and a progressively snarling vocal. Premiered by Steve Lamacq on 6 Music. 2022 live dates incl Coachella, Glastonbury, Somerset House, more to be announced.
