FINAL Press Release.Pages ! Caoilfhionn Rose Awaken Gondwana Records / CD/LP/DL GONDCD026 / GONDLP026 – released 12/10//2018 LIVE: Oct 20 The Roundhouse, London (Gondwana 10 Festival) "Caoilfhionn (pronounced Keelin) Rose is a singer, songwriter and producer from Manchester. Emerging from a diverse music scene, she ties together remnants of Manchester’s musical past with its evolving present. She has collaborated with musicians from around the world and is per- haps best known for her work with Vini Reilly of Durutti Column: Collaborating on four songs on The Durutti Column - Chronicle LX:XL album. She grew up surrounded by music (dad loved jazz and mum was a massive folk fan) but it wasn’t until her late teens that the muse took hold: “I’ve always been interested in music but I really started to get into it after a period of illness when I was 17. It was music that made me begin to feel like myself again. Listening to my iPod, every- thing felt new and exciting and yet vaguely familiar and nostalgic. A year or so later, during her recovery she started to write songs again on the piano and started performing in Manchester, graduating through open mic slots to her own shows. Caoilfhionn’s music draws on a diverse range of influences from The Mummers, to Rachel Sermanni, Melody’s Echo Chamber and Broadcast. She also professes to a love for beautiful, stripped back, piano based music, such as Dustin O’Halloran and Peter Broderick. Vini Reilly from The Durutti Column is a big influence and inspiration. “We’re friends now after collaborating a few years ago and I have become a big fan of his music. It is intricate and detailed but sponta- neous and free.” Another inspiration is her immediate environment. With Manchester’s Fletcher Moss Park especially inspiring. And it was what led her to Gondwana Records, Matthew Halsall, when she heard his 2012 album Fletcher Moss Park. She reached out and shortly afterwards he went to see her perform at The Art of Tea Cafe in Didsbury Village. Blown away by the fragile beauty of her music he offered to produce a recording for his label. Awaken, is Caoilfhionn’s debut album, co-produced with Matthew Halsall, guitarist Rich Williams and Matthew’s brother Daniel Halsall (artistic director of Gondwana Records) she describes it as a deeply collaborative effort. Expansive, fragile and experimental it’s a rich tapestry that draws on folk, psychedelia and subtle electronica influences. For Caoilfhionn it represents a busy mind, change, and an up and down life. “It is an honest and personal account, full of memories and mumblings to myself that I hope other people will relate to or at least understand”. It’s also a deeply collaborative album featuring songs developed with her band mates, Matthew Halsall and one song, Wild Anemones, even features her gran mother! And the title track of the album sums up the whole body of work. It’s a positive song about looking outward, forwards and all around. It marks the beginning (like waking up) and feels like the starting point of a lot more music. “It was the song that pushed me and moved me out of my comfort zone. “Having played solo as a pi- anist for a couple of years, it inspired me to work with new sounds, musicians with a different approach to making music”. For further information please contact [email protected] www.gondwanarecords.com ! About the songs: Awaken was written by Caoilfhionn, Matthew Halsall and bandmate Rich Williams. The song was sparked after Matthew Halsall gave her some drum loops to work over and his use of mel- lotron flute is inspired by Broadcast. Lyrically it’s about noticing nature and everything around you, about taking a step back from your problems and going for a walk outside. The languid ‘Unravelled’ was improvised over a track created out of samples by Gwion Owen (AKA Broko G). The vocals were recorded on a USB microphone which gives it a deliberately lo- fi feel. It’s a warm-fuzzy sounding kind of song, about the happy beginnings of a relationship. Being Human, Caoilfhionn describes as that rare song “that it makes me happy to sing”, not originally intended for the album It was one of those songs that just sprang to life and lyrically it’s about life not being perfect but that you can find pleasure in just being with someone. It also fea- tures backing vocals from another local singer-songwriter from Manchester - Hannah Ashcroft. The stripped back A New Day stemmed from a jam with Matthew Halsall where he was making guitar and bass riffs. Set at the end of summer, it’s a song about looking forwards, to the future, even though ‘soon the leaves will be falling’. The upbeat Under The Night Sky has a psych-y, fun feel that nods to The Beatles. Melotron flute and the psychedelic guitar solo give the song a light-hearted and playful feel. This was the final song written which completed the album. In contrast to Caoilfhionn’s more melancholic songs, ‘Under The Night Sky’ was a way for her to demonstrate her interest in many styles of music and bring a new tone to the album’s soundworld. Shadow Of Your Smile developed from another sample / beat based tune made by Gwion Owen, which he’d named ‘shadow of your smile’, Caoilfhionn kept the title as a a nod to my in- terest in jazz music. The lyrics are about feeling secure and safe with someone. ‘I was lost be- fore us, now I know you’re there. Come and walk with me and guide me there’ It’s about recog- nising where you’ve come from and what you have. Long Way Round addresses Caoilfhionn’s illness. ”It was me consoling myself that I went the ‘long way round’ and not the wrong way round”. Texturally this song is a lot more stripped back than many of the others on the album, giving it a raw and intimate quality. Wild Anemones is one of Caoilfhionn;s oldest songs, written from the point of view of her gran, it also features samples of the elder matriarch. This song was a home-recording and has quite a lo-fi feel in comparison to some of the other album songs. It’s a very personal song and quite raw, though the subject matter is dark in context it’s a very uplifting song to sing”. Amy was inspired by a close friend who returned from Australia, pregnant, and whose happi- ness inspired Caoilfhionn to write this tribute. Raindance is a deeply personal, cathartic song about a specific negative event in Caoilfhionn’s life, which charged her to write the song. The drums drive the music with a thundering pattern. It builds in intensity throughout, right up till the end with cyclic melodies in the outro as the guitars, bass and drums lock in together. A watery synth rings out at the end of the surging outro, a sort of calm after the storm kind of sound. .

  • How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City
    Journal of Popular Music Studies, Volume 25, Issue 1, Pages 56–76 How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City Leonard Nevarez Vassar College Manchester, England, is among the most well-known cities today for the creation and celebration of popular music, thanks in no small part to the group Joy Division. Among the first bands to be associated with a postpunk aesthetic, Joy Division eschewed punk’syouthful rage and unrelenting din for an expansive, anthemic sound distinguished by its dynamic scope, machinic pulses, and by singer Ian Curtis’ssonorous baritone and existential lyrics. As the first significant band to sustain a career in Manchester, thus bypassing the music industry headquartered in London, Joy Division is also recognized as pioneering the DIY tradition that has famously characterized Manchester’s musical economy over the last four decades. The group didn’t achieve this alone; the role of Manchester label Factory Records is well documented, as, increasingly, is the foundation laid by the city’s networks of musicians, scene participants, and cultural institutions (see Crossley; Botta).´ Yet these local facts don’t quite explain the contemporary resonance of Joy Division’s Manchester roots for music fans and city boosters today. Perhaps more than any other Mancunian band, Joy Division are claimed to sound like Manchester, at least the Manchester of a certain era. That is, the group did not just originate from the late 1970s Manchester of deindustrialization, carceral housing estates, Thatcherism, and punk’s youthful refusal; nor do they simply illustrate a recurring Mancunian ethos of creative pluck and insouciant disregard for London’s cultural hegemony (Haslam, Manchester, England).

VOOR Er bestaan in mijn optiek maar twee stromingen binnen de muziek, te weten goede en slechte. De goede is doorgaans authentiek en de gevoelens die Ian Curtis, frontman van Joy Division, bezong leken mij als tiener in de jaren 80 oprecht, hij had er niet voor niets een einde aan gemaakt. De muziek hoorde bij de stroming New Wave, waar ik actief onderdeel van werd . Generatie Nix, de naam die mijn generatie meekreeg, zou toch geen werk vinden en de atoomoorlog zou spoedig beginnen. I wear black on the outside because black is how I feel on the inside zei Morrisey en daar kan ik me tot op de dag van vandaag in vinden... In dit referaat ga ik op zoek naar mijn muzikale en sociale roots en naar de achtergronden van het verhaal van een bijzondere en alternatieve onderneming. New Wave, de stroming voor de subcultuur der alternatieven waarvan Ian Curtis pionier was, vond zijn oorsprong halverwege de jaren 70 in de tegendraadse Punk.

  • John Frusciante Plays Guitar in a League Where No Rock Guitarist Can Threaten Him
    John Frusciante plays guitar in a league where no rock guitarist can threaten him. "Aftonbladet" ( Avril 2003) - Tore S Börjesson In 1991 he was the main reason The Red Hot Chili Peppers, with the classical album "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" and the singles "Under the bridge and "Give it away", took the step from being on the Los Angeles alternative scene to becoming one of the world's biggest band. He was praised as being an innovator and a virtuoso: as funky as Bootsy Collins, "punky" as Johnny Thunders, and as equilibristic as Jimi Hendrix. Then he quit his guitar playing, pushed the heroin needle in his arm and put the bong in his mouth, and drugged himself into the deepest state of misery. In 1999 he was back on the album "Californication". He returned with arms scarred by needlestick and infections. Back without teeth. But back - and better than before. In "By the way" he takes it to a level so high, which no other contemporary rock guitarist could reach. Now it isn't merely the most beautiful tones imaginable intertwined; now he is painting pictures. Each song is a series of unique pictures. The variation of technique and colours takes the listener aback. John Frusciante is comparable to a soccer player like Maradona or Zidane. It's about men with fantastic visions, and the technique to turn them into reality. Puls (newspaper thing) met him backstage before the Red Hot Chili Peppers outsold concert in Globen (Swedish arena). Interviewer: The way you approach guitar playing today, how does it differ from the way you did it when you were younger? JF: When I grew up I was only thinking about technique.

  • Making Rock History out of Ian Curtis and Joy Division
    Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 9, No. 4, November 2013 When Performance Lost Control: Making Rock History out of Ian Curtis and Joy Division J. Rubén Valdés Miyares 1. “Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now”1 This is a case study of the continuities between living, performing and writing. When Ian Curtis hanged himself at the age of 23, tortured by epilepsy, medication, fear and remorse; having just started a promising career as singer and songwriter for the band Joy Division, after releasing two intriguing long plays and a hit single called “Love Will Tear Us Apart”, and about to embark on their first American tour, he was stag- ing his ultimate performance. The act turned him into a cult figure, as it gave an eerie resonance to the increasingly gloomy lyrics he had written for his band. Music journalists began to write about Joy Division in a more vivid, dramatic way. People who had never seen the band perform live, or even heard of them while Curtis was alive, became fans. Joy Division was hailed in their native Manchester, England, as youthful symbols of the postmodern city, and in the rest of the world as founders of the gothic rock scene. They were subsequently the subject of biographies, biopics and documentaries which focused particularly on Curtis’s personality, and the main webpage devoted to the band (joydivisioncentral.com) lists about twenty Joy Division tribute bands performing their songs, while Youtube enables fans and critics to watch the band perform at several gigs on very low quality footage, and much more visually appealing clips of actor Sam Riley performing as Ian Curtis in the biopic about him, Control (2007).
