Roger Glover - Snapshot+ - VINYL LP

The third album from Australian synthesizer songstress Seja is an ode to analogue and the beloved synthesizers she has spent the last 20 years in dedication to. Recorded expertly in her home studio, it is a dense collection of squelchy synths, drum machines and computer bongos overlaid with mellifluous vocals. Reflecting the broad influence of an artist captivated by her instrument and an expansive appreciation for the breadth of synthetic music history coupled with sparkling pop songwriting. Sometimes in juxtaposition to the luminous melodic vocals, the album's production flows from swirling, celestial dreampop to pulsating psychedelic, krautrock funk, to dark 80's inspired soundscapes, all transmitted through the prism of Seja's personal, often humorous and ultimately delightful songcraft. Here is One I Know You Know is permeated by an overarching warmth. To this end Seja says she aimed to use very little software and embraced both working and wonky gear to make something unique and beautifully flawed. She recorded the album herself in her home studio singing and playing various and numerous synths on each track as well as guitars, bass, omnichord, rhodes piano, drum machines, programming and sequencing. Featuring Jen Boyce (Ball Park Music) - bass, Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint) - percussion, Fred Armisen (SNL, Portlandia) - octobans, Georgia Mooney (All Our Exes Live in Texas) - backing vocals, George Browning (Velociraptor) - drums and percussion, Nicole Perry -congas, Chris Farrer (the Quickening) - guitar solos, Conrad Greenleaf (Richard in Your Mind) - bass and Danny Widdicombe (the Wilson Pickers) - pedal steel. Hotmagnets - production assistant / noise merchant. It takes a nimble, accomplished songwriter to weave together the range of genre and spectrum of sound tackled on this album. On Here Is One I Know You Know Seja has conjured a world class synth pop feast

She Past Away presents the beautifully melancholic new album Disko Anksiyete. This unique act blends dark-wave with an 80's influence, post-punk era guitars with minimalist poetry in sung Turkish. She Past Away is a driving, mesmerizing outburst of sentimental anxiety through the nihilistic mind-frame, it is both personal & broad, like a wondering mind brave enough to question taboo existence.

Vinyl LP pressing. The Roger Webb Sound's Moonshade is one of the coolest records ever. Originally appearing via the legendary de Wolfe library in 1971, it's a sumptuous jazz-soul-funk instrumental set. Full of melodic, melancholic yet sun-drenched songs, rich with color and contrast, it was composed by self-taught jazz pianist Roger Webb and features vocal performances by Barbara Moore. It makes Moonshade the perfect precursor and accompaniment to Barbara Moore's eternal classic Vocal Shades And Tones. Moonshade is a phenomenal showcase of Brit maestro Webb's own roots in jazz. Those roots are served up here with a plethora of fast-stepping rhythms that truly give flight to the vocals of Barbara Moore, as they soar in wonderful ways. Moore sings wordlessly throughout, allowing her voice to act like another instrument in concert with the horns and keyboards elevating the fine arrangements. This is a deeply beautiful record. The audio for Moonshade has been brilliantly remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland. The original, iconic sleeve has been restored here at Be With HQ as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue.
