Physical CD BLENDED BREW SHOVE IT DOWN

BLENDED BREW IS RELEASING THEIR LONG AWAITED 2ND ALBUM TITLED “SHOVE IT DOWN” IN MAY 2020. Since the debut album and the subsequent EP, the band has been really busy. This album was written, recorded and produced by Jimmy (Vocal+guitar), Sebastian (keys) and Christoffer (Drums) in collaboration with Christian Heyman of Heyman Studios. Everything was recorded live and analog and run on tape machine to acquire as authentic rock sound as possible. “I feel we have found our very own sound for this album. Maybe we spent a month trying to make the drums sound raw and authentic.“ says Jimmy, the lead singer. The style is rock with big R, and their inspiration from artists such as AC/DC and Deep Purple has made the band focus on the characteristic in their expression in the form of a very strong lead vocal as well as a thick Hammond organ. The sound the band is based on is inspired by colleagues like Rival Sons and Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown. The end of the album shows a very sensitive side in their last song „Don’t Say No“ where Jimmy on vocals and Lord Sebastian on piano show their professionalism in a very felt rock ballad. For fans of Deep Purple, Rival Sons & AC/DC

DESCRIPTION: Like an oncoming storm, Premonitions unveils the violent, yet undeniably beautiful stylistic progression of SOJOURNER’s sound in an exceptional synthesis of folk and atmospheric black metal. Thanks to the ever-increasing complexity of arrangements and compellingly diverse intros (“The Event Horizon”), Premonitions rises to a broader musical territory where the wide range of melodies and rhythms merge together into a desolated, yet captivating soundscape of expressive harmony.

Whether highlighting the atmospheric influences (“Monolith”), Chloe Bray’s ethereal vocals (“Talas”), or evolving rhythmically around Emilio Crespo’s growls (“Fatal Frame”), SOJOURNER manages each time to captivate the listener. The mysterious and capricious spirit of unexplored wilderness is directly referring to both the legacy of the Scandinavian extreme metal scene and the charm of instrumental folk interludes. Following the lead of powerful riffs and rhythmic accompaniments, CD VINYL voices of Crespo and Bray, two charismatic pillars of SOJOURNER’s musical identity, fiercely interact with each other (“Apocalyptic Theatre”), opening a field for the atmospheric journey through melodies of dawn and dark emotional hymns. 8 40588 13320 8 8 40588 13321 5 Amalgamating a wide range of musical forms and concepts, on their third studio TRACK LISTING: album SOJOURNER outlines a captivating soundscape, gradually unfolding into a A1.

BLACK ARK VOL. 2 VP2711

VINYL TRACK LISTING

1. Ethiopia - Carol Cole 2. Give Praises - The Silvertones 3. How Deep Is Your Love - The Inamans 4. Jah Love Is Sweeter – Lacksley Castell 5. Let Love Touch Us Now - Bunny Rugs 6. I Am… I Said - Bunny Rugs 7. Got To Be Irie - The Originals 8. Double Wine - The Upsetters 9. Mumbling And Grumbling - Junior Byles

Black Ark Vol. 2 is another piece of Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s limitless musical puzzle. It’s a bedrock of deep and heavy rhythms recorded around Jamaica just before the demise of Perry’s famed Black Ark Studio.

Black Ark Vol. 2 is the follow up album to the acclaimed Black Ark In Dub that unsurprisingly for an Upsetter release, took a different path. More vocal oriented, the album features extended dubwise cuts of (former wife and co-producer) Carol Cole’s ‘Ethiopia’, The Originals ‘Got To Be Irie’, Junior Byles ‘Mumbling & Grumbling and The Inamans remake of the hit ‘How Deep Is your Love’, along with an alternate take of the Silvertones roots classic ‘Give Thanks’ with flute overdub and a couple of solid covers from Third World lead vocalist Bunny Rugs.

Originally released in 1981 the hard to find Black Ark Vol. 2 remains a frozen sonic timepiece, captured at the beginning of the end of one era and poised at the start of another.

 Launch of the Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and Carol Cole produced title will tie-in with a Record Store Day picture disc release of the highly sought after 12 inch single “Guidance” by The Black Ark Players  Physical and digital advertising will target collectors and reggae specialists.  Selected tracks will be serviced to core media outlets to support album launch.
