Notilus - Notilus - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Allergies are back with a new album - Rejoice! And the feel-good funk, hip-hop swagger, and dusty vintage loops, is everything you need right now. Across the 13 tracks, producers Rackabeat and DJ Moneyshot dig deep into their souls, as well as their record collections, serving up a day-glo blast of super positive sampledelia that'll have you smiling from ear to ear. Built from scratch during lockdown, each song offers up a world to lose yourself in, free from any and all dark clouds. It's their Promised Land, and everyone is welcome to bask in the sunshine.

NOTILUS / II After their highly praised debut record InchIInch - called Incha sparkling electro-jazz and cinematographic hybridization gameInch and Inchrefreshingly futuristic big band musicInch - the French quintet returns with the new full length called InchIIInch. Notilus is back, more raw and free than ever, taking a journey through both evening shadows and luminous mornings, through long expanses of suspended time as well as hypnotic swathes of dancing vibes. It crosses vast tundras, ascends snowy mountain ranges, reaches swampy troubled waters bathed in eerie light, at the crossroad between Jazz, Techno, Ambient music and self-reflexion.

A BBC 6Music 'Album Of The Year'. Debut album from critically acclaimed Teesside agitators Benefits InchWe could have released a record at any point over the last couple of years but held back because I wanted to wait until the right people came along,Inch Hall says. Invada Records co-founder Geoff Barrow of Portishead was one of the many who'd been drawn to the music as it made waves online, and when he came to see the group perform live in his native Bristol was immediately hooked. His faith in the band has been repaid and then some, producing a record that not only confirms the group's brilliance, but also redefines what you thought was possible. It captures all of that validating rage that established them one of the most exciting acts in the country - skull crushing fan favourites 'Flag', 'Empire' and 'Meat Teeth' are all present and correct - but also pushes their sound into bold new territory, both sonically and emotionally.
