TILLMANNS a Careless Lifestyle Fraction Discs proudly presents: TILLMANNS a careless lifestyle After two 7” singles it’s finally time for the Göteborg duo Tillmanns ARTIST: TILLMANNS first album, and “A Careless Lifestyle“ is a much longed-for debut TITLE: A CARELESS LIFESTYLE CD. Because many of us have missed the sound of winding, ethereal LABEL: FRACTION DISCS guitars and sweeping, synthetic layers over minimalistic beats. The CAT. NO: FRACTION 004 sound is well-known from a golden era when labels such as Sarah DATE OF RELEASE: AUGUST 25TH 2007 Records and Factory spread little grains of gold like The Wake, New Order, The Durutti Column, Stockholm Monsters and The TRACKLIST: Field Mice. 1. HEAVY ROTATION 2. BACKGROUND But, there’s another thread that through the North Sea connects 3. HYPNOSIS the Northern Britain with our West Coast: the eternal lashing of 4. COLD HANDS rain at bus stops, on windscreens and window-ledges. And the light 5. INSTRUMENTAL after the rain: the shimmering, but with a darker undertone. The 6. OPENING art of balancing those contrasts - maybe this is what seizes us and 7. NEW PLACE 8. HERE’S A HIT HIT WITH THEM IN MIND sends us into a soft hypnosis, that actually can make us long for the 9. TWIST autumn to burst into splendid colours: yellow, orange, red... 10. TIME WHAT’S BEEN SAID: PREVIOUS RELEASES BY TILLMANNS: “Indie pop was once my life. Yes, I loved the Field Mice & all that jangly cobblers. Still “RUN EP”, 7” (FRACTION DISCS) 2006 do in fact. A lot of late 80’s sad eyed troubadours took New Order’s breathtaking electro “SUPERFICTION“, 7” (BRACKEN) 2007 shambles to heart & started re-creating such a slew of melancholic lo-fi pop & whimsical genius in their bedrooms all over the rain streaked suburbs of Blighty. Now everyone wants TILLMANNS ON THE INTERNET: to be the Arctic Monkeys or Kanye West or whatever we have to buy our tear stained WWW.TILLMANNS.SE DIY pop back from chillier plains. Sweden for example drips great indie but beyond a tiny WWW.MYSPACE.COM/TILLMANNS handful of acts, no-one beyond Scandinavia really gives a shite. Where a year or two ago we were swooning to the Radio Dept, we now have fellow fuzzers TILLMANNS & even resident jangle hater, Phil, has expressed an interest in this fabulous 4 track 7” on Fraction. Blending prime early Field Mice (rattling drum machine under a blanket of post Sumner strum, wistful lyrics down in the mix & a swelling keyboard with more emotion than the entire England squad. ‘Run’ is also simply an amazing tune. Then you get another 3 New Order inspired gems with hints of other early lesser spotted Factory acts with obvious WWW.FRACTIONDISCS.SE affectionate nods to the juicier elements of the Sarah roster & some fabulous MBV-esque WWW.MYSPACE.COM/FRACTIONDISCS dying tremelo seagull effects on the spine tingling ‘Twist’ (spaced out). This 7” is absolutely E-MAIL: [email protected] essential if you’re a indie fan. Simple as that!” FRACTION DISCS, Norman Records (Leeds, UK) proclaims Tillmanns’ “Run EP“ Single Of The Year VAKTMÄSTAREGÅNGEN 2, 2007 S-413 18 GÖTEBORG, SWEDEN.

  • Newcastle University School of Arts and Cultures British Independent
    Newcastle University School of Arts and Cultures British Independent Record Labels, Memory and Mediation – Situating Music Objects in Physical and Digital Contexts Elodie Amandine Roy Submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of PhD May 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the changing relationship between the material culture of music (in the form of recorded music objects) and memory (as it is sedimented in, and mediated by, the work of a selection of British independent record labels). The principal aim of this work is to explore the significant but often-overlooked material paradigm of recorded music, from Edison’s invention of the phonograph in 1877 up until the early twenty-first century, increasingly characterised by the digital archiving, collecting and consumption of music. Drawing from a broad range of cultural theorists (including Benjamin, Straw, Sterne, Kittler, Gitelman and Huyssen), this research seeks to situate recorded sound within broader discourses on memory and mediation, technology and cultural transmission. The thesis is structured around the analyses of several British independent record labels from the recent past and the present: Sarah Records (1987- 1995), Ghost Box Records (2004-) and reissue record labels, including Finders Keepers (2004-). By focusing on specific record labels and situated configurations of the material culture of music, both physical and digital, I identify and map various aspects of the music object and clarify the particular socio-technological contexts within which such configurations arise. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Ian Biddle for his pragmatic approach to the research process and reading suggestions. Dr. Richard Elliott has been an inspiring mentor even since we first met in the Spring of 2010; he did not spare his encouragements, advice, or time despite being far away.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › Band of the Week › News Features Reviews Playlists Band of the Week: The Field Mice Resident sound-nerd Tom Killingbeck thumbs through reams of musty vinyl so you don’t have to. Here are his weekly recommendations… Monday 6 December 2010 #5: The Field Mice Who: Bobby Wratten, Michael Hiscock, Harvey Williams, Annemari Davis, Mark Dobson. When: 1980’s-1990’s. Where: UK. Why: With snow a foot deep outside and icy frostbitten winds turning your skin to marble, you’ve probably spent the last week barricaded in your bedrooms, safely away from Yorkshire’s meteorological torments. In which case I present the perfect chilly bedroom band; The Field Mice. Children of Sarah Records, the quintessential jangly 80’s indie-pop label, the band’s poetically minimal lyrics, spacious arrangements and heartfelt melodies shone through a fug of mumbling be-cardiganed peers. Originally a school-formed duo comprising of Robert Wratten and Michael Hiscock, their first efforts, including EP ‘Emma’s House’ and single ‘Sensitive’, brought them Top 20 Indie Chart hits and glowing endorsement from hip priest John Peel. In 1990 they expanded into a five-piece, adding Harvey Williams of cult miserablists Another Sunny Day on guitar, as well as Wratten’s ex-girlfriend Annemari, presumably to increase the atmosphere of lost love and yearning that pervaded the grooves of those early adventures in acetate to new emotional levels. This tactic worked magnificently, as ‘Anyone Else Isn’t You’, ‘A Heart Disease Called Love’ and ‘Willow’ count as a handful of the most aching and lovelorn songs ever recorded.

  • Scenes from a Bedroom:Situating British
    CRITICAL SCENES FROM A BEDROOM: SITUATING BRITISH INDEPENDENT MUSIC, 1979-1995 Elodie Amandine Roy, Newcastle University Elodie Amandine Roy is currently in the third year of her PhD in Music at Newcastle University. Her research focuses on the material culture of music in the twentieth-century. She is especially interested in the relationships between media, matter and memory. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This article deals with the real and symbolic centrality of the bedroom in the development of independent music in the UK (1979-1995). Drawing from Bachelard’s Poetics of Space (1958), Bollnow’s Human Spaces (1953) and also cultural and music theorists such as Susan Stewart and Wendy Fonarow, I argue that the bedroom can be read as (1) a space of creation, (2) a place of mediation and self-mediation and (3) a political space. The bedroom is notably, but not exclusively, examined in the songs of The Smiths and the later ‘bedroom pop’ movement (as embodied by Sarah Records). This article aims to situate British independent music, showing that it is not primarily or initially a genre or a sound, but should rather be defined in its relationship to a lived, everyday environment. The article especially focuses on the material culture of the bedroom (with analyses of the radio and the mixtape), and its dissemination beyond the bedroom. The bedroom is seen as both fragment and miniature of the world; as a transitive, and potentially subversive space, which proves instrumental in the making and establishing of independent music. --- ‘Oh the alcoholic afternoons when we sat in your room they meant more to me than any than any living thing on earth they had more worth than any living thing on earth’1 There is a famous series of pictures of Ian McCulloch, the singer of Echo & the Bunnymen, allegedly sitting on his bedroom floor.
