Perry Foster – She is of the Water (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Rock, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“-She is of the Water- brings in mind a calm, hypnotic river cannal, in whose cool waters you are brought into excellent prairies. Pay attention to those striking vocals, whose timbre comes so deeply that it doesn't let you go to the very end of this amazing journey.”

“-She is of the Water- спокойное, гипнотическое русло реки, в чьих прохладных водах тебя несёт в прекрасные прерии. Поразительный по своему восприятию вокал, чей тембр заходит настолько глубоко, что не отпускает до самого конца этого удивительного путешествия.”

Artist said about this song:

"Written in the Whiskeytown National Park of Northern California, the summer after I was married. After a truly transcendent day, the song seemed to write itself.

For the past few years I've been living in the Hudson Valley, NY with my family. Raising babies, making music. I'm working on a few projects I'm really excited about. Lately, I have been collaborating with some incredible musicians at the Clubhouse Studio here. I feel I am constantly learning so much! We're working on a slew of records that I'll be releasing throughout the year.

This is the first one.

On the track you'll hear the playing of Odetta Hartman on violin and vocals, Ira Coleman on bass, and Jim Weider on mandolin. Paul Antonell produced the song. Engineer/wizardry by Shubham Mondal."

This song is a mirror; crafted as a space to look into yourself, an invitation into a moment. A place to breathe and be, to find the world inside yourself. In the fast-paced culture we're in, I hope this gives you pause and brings you into a deeper awareness of your place in the universe.

The official video is a black screen, so you can see yourself in it. It is the soundtrack to The Mirror Room, which is an entryway into the dream dimension, my storyworld called HEMISPHERES. Come in: https://hemispheres.land/the-mirror-room

“-Wonder-Full is the mental stream of the author’s consciousness transmitted through the language of sounds. There are no suitable words to fully pass the feelings from listening to this song. Acoustic Folk, gentle, pursuing to goosers vocals by -Duane Forrest – awaken the most kind of feelings.”

“-Wonder-Full- это душевный поток сознания автора переданный через язык звуков. Нет подходящих слов, чтобы в полной мере передать чувства от прослушивания этой песни. Акустический Folk, нежный, пробирающий до мурашек вокал -Duane Forrest- пробуждают самые добрые чувства.”

Artist said about this song:

“I wrote this song while navigating a devastating break-up. I started writing it after some time had passed and I was in a healthier place to look back on what happened. Hindsight is 20/20. Processing the good times and even the hard times was therapeutic for me – and I hope it will be for the listener.” – Duane Forrest

Eleanor K – All In (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Pop, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“A melancholic piano melody seeps through the general measured mood -All In-, the vocals gradually, step by step, envelop and warm with their warmth. A light and unobtrusive music, like a flock of birds flying overhead, rocking you into the cradle with its measured rhythm.”

“Через общее размеренное настроение -All In- просачиваются меланхоличная фортепианная мелодия, вокал постепенно, шаг за шагом, обволакивает и согревает своим теплом. Лёгкое и ненавязчивое произведение, словно полёт стаи птиц над головой, укачивает вас в колыбели своим размеренным ритмом.”

-Nagamag.com

Eleanor K achieved huge success during her time performing with Crystal Fighters, a journey which has seen her play everywhere from Glastonbury to Coachella and Red Rocks. Meanwhile, her other highlights have included working with Matthew Murphy of The Wombats on Love Fame Tragedy, collaborating with the acclaimed Vic Mensa and Moon Boots, and creating her own Kyiki project.

Now reborn as a solo artist, Eleanor K steps into the spotlight with her new single ‘All In’. The track is the first taste of her self-produced debut album ‘Everytime’s The Last Time’, which will be released early next year. Listen HERE.

‘All In’ finds Eleanor K crafting an intoxicating blend of her effortlessly beautiful vocal gift with inventive production which melds live instrumentation and sample-based production. Her open-hearted lyricism possesses a melancholy streak, speaking of loneliness but also hopeful for a positive resolution. It’s a style which adds her own personality to sonics which touch upon elements of Bon Iver, Phoebe Bridgers and James Blake.

‘All In’ hints at what to expect from the album, which evolved during a frantic period in her life. She split her time between touring and being based in Tokyo and Los Angeles, a time further coloured by addiction and a self-confessed identity crisis

“In -Green Houses- the sound is so fragile that there is a light balance between positive human feelings and sadness. Beautiful acoustic melody and vocals from -Ellie Irwin- slowly flowing into the state of absolute satisfaction, love and harmony.”

“Звучание в -Green Houses- настолько хрупкое, что возникает лёгкий дисбаланс между живыми человеческими чувствами и грустью. Красивая акустическая мелодия и вокал -Ellie Irwin- льются ручьями, медленно перетекая в состояние абсолютного удовлетворения, любви и гармонии. ”

-Nagamag.com

“These songs represent a journey of realizing who I am, and that I’m done struggling to appease people,” shares singer-songwriter Ellie Irwin. The Central Pennsylvania-based acoustic-pop artist is seeding the way to a powerfully transformative coming of age project through a series of singles. “These songs have helped me reconnect with who I am, and they’ve also helped me realize I don’t need to depend on others for my self-worth. I’m the same person since writing them, but I’ve evolved. I hope my growing pains here can enlighten and comfort others.” Today, Ellie shares the exhilarating single, Green Houses.

Ellie commenced this song cycle summer of 2020 when she found herself reexamining her life and her personal connections as a high school student. “I’m surrounded by teenagers, and my songs are all pretty much a testimony to that,” she details. “They are me trying to figure out life and the emotional rollercoaster it sometimes is as a young person in this world.”

Each song entry represents a facet of Ellie’s path to liberating self-knowledge and confidence. Through these personal revelations, and her exhilarating acoustic-pop sensibility, Ellie shares struggles, profound realizations, and empowering decisions. Her songs start on the ukulele or the piano, and, from there, they are tastefully embellished with elegantly essential production touches. Luke Wood and Gregg Montante contributed guitar and Bob McCutcheon produced the sessions.

Mason Owens – Stoned in the Vallies (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Rock, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

“Mason Owens creates with his very own personal style and this is quite clear in this recent single. Easy-going guitar based creation with characteristic singing. The artist's elegant voice can immediately steel the listener's impression and lead to a further relaxing mood.”

-Nagamag.com

https://linktr.ee/masonowensmusic

Following the success of his debut EP, ‘Off The Bat’, Liverpool alt-folk hero, Mason Owens will release ‘Stoned in the Vallies’ the first single from his hotly anticipated follow up EP, ‘Early Hours’, out now.

The track, along with the rest of the EP, is produced by Glaswegian electronic pioneer Hector Barbour, better known as Denis Sulta, who is renowned across the world for his electric DJ sets spanning house, techno, trance and disco.

The former Mixmag cover star and BBC Radio 1 Residency Broadcaster won DJ Mag’s Best of British DJ awards in 2019 and has turned his attention to the world of acoustic music for this exclusive side project after hearing Owens’ play ‘Stoned in the Vallies’ during a jam session.

Mason Owens, said: “I had a jam session a few months back with Hector and he said, ‘play me a track you haven’t got out yet’. I played him the tune and he related to it - he wanted to be part of it. He understood the sentiment and the meaning behind the song.”

Barbour, who has released music on influential labels such as Ninja Tune, Numbers and his own Sulta Selects and Silver Service imprints brings production techniques that he has nurtured through his impressive career to date.

“I never thought it would sound as good as it did, and a great deal of that is down to the quality of Hector’s production” Owens continues “Recording the track with him was a great experience.”

‘Stoned in the Vallies’ was penned by Mason two years ago, just after a short stint behind bars. It comes as no surprise that themes of freedom run through the lyrics.

“Stoned in the Vallies is about wanting to be free. It’s about the feeling of being caged up and not being able to remember what freedom feels like,” explains Mason.

“My head wasn't necessarily in a bad place at the time (though the spelling of ‘Vallies’ does give a nod to a well-known anti-depressant). I just wanted to get out there and get my life back on track.”

Taking a departure from his previous work, Owens draws on inspirations including John Martyn, Nick Drake and Tracy Chapman, to produce an altogether different sound.

Moving away from the raw sound of his debut EP, “Off The Bat”, Owens introduces intricate guitar work, sentimental lyricism and folk-infused melodies to his latest release, in what he is calling a “new phase” in his artistry.

“It’s closer to what I want to be doing; the music I naturally make,” Owens said. “The style is completely different. It's a lot more mellow, a lot more melancholy and more emotional.

“Off The Bat is a fast paced aggressive one to get you up in the morning, whereas this is made for chilling out to and make you think and reflect.

Owens burst onto Liverpool’s contemporary folk scene in 2020 with releases such as ‘Waiting For You’ and ‘Dock Road’.

He has racked up over 100,000 streams on Spotify alone and earned the attention of BBC Introducing Merseyside and fellow Scouser, Jamie Webster, who topped the Official Folk Album Chart last year.

Owens “could go down in folklore with some of his tunes”, Webster said.

He has since gone on to perform at some of Liverpool’s most popular venues, including the O2 Academy, Art Club Liverpool, Studio 2 Parr Street and Eventim Olympia as well as playing the hugely popular BOSS Night events at the first ever Everton Sessions for Everton Football Club.

As the country emerges from lockdown, Owens is preparing for a number of live shows in the coming months ahead of the release of ‘Early Hours’ including supporting Jamie Webster on several dates on his UK tour, playing the Main Stage at this year’s Liverpool Sound City Festival and his own headline show at the Arts Club, Liverpool with I Love Live Events.
