The Bats - Corner Coming Up - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Bats have officially announced their 10th full-length album, Foothills.Spanning the last 38 years, The Bats have clocked nine incredible albums; each one seeing the band evolve with new material from the prolific songwriting hand of Robert Scott. Add to that tally the extra singles, b-sides, EPs, compilations and tribute songs they've recorded, creating a succinct setlist is a nearly impossible task.Foothills was recorded in Spring 2018 at a country retreat pop-up studio. At that time, 15 songs were captured and immortalised in the Canterbury foothills of the Southern Alps, Aotearoa (New Zealand). Only too well, The Bats know the possibilities, potentialities and sonic vistas that arise when one takes the reins for the recording process in a beautiful place that's on home turf.Robert Scott, on the making of Foothills has said InchTime marches on... finally, we found a gap in our busy lives and chose a week to convene. We found a house that is usually inhabited by ski field workers - Kowai Bush, near Springfield about an hour west of Christchurch and of course nestled in the foothills of the mighty Southern Alps. The songs had been written, demo'd and arranged for some time, but still with a little room for trying things out in the studio. Many carloads arrived at the house, full of amps guitars and recording gear, we set up camp and soon made it feel like home; coloured lights, a log fire, and home cooked meals in the kitchen. We worked fast, and within a few days had all the basic backing tracks done, live together in one room, the way we like to do it - it's all about 'the feel' for songs like ours.InchThe Bats must hold a record in New Zealand (perhaps the whole world, once The Rolling Stones throw in the towel) as a band that has survived with the same line-up for 38 years. No split ups, no reforming for nostalgia's sake.So far, half the band have spots in The

2017 , the second album from the Australian indie outfit. Bats was largely written and recorded at frontman Tim Nelson's home and is Inchinspired by personal experiences of growth, disappointment, self-doubt, partying, learning to accept and trust myself, coming out and falling in love,Inch Nelson says. It's also supposedly the InchsexiestInch and most InchhonestInch record they've made to date. Bats is the follow-up to the band's 2016 debut album This Is Our Vice. Cub Sport is composed of Tim Nelson (lead vocals, keyboards, guitar), Zoe Davis (lead guitar, bass, vocals), Sam InchBolanInch Netterfield (keyboards, vocals) and Dan Puusaari (drums).

'Dreamstate' is Kelly Lee Owens' 4th studio album, and her first released at new tag home dh2 - a brand new electronic music imprint at renowned independent tag Dirty Hit being spearheaded by George Daniel of The 1975. There's an incredible feeling of freedom and escapism found throughout 'Dreamstate,' born from the experience of inner evolution in the aftermath of a break-up. It's the sound of a person letting loose and letting go while encouraging everyone else to do the same.
