  • Diversions Vol.4 Web Release
    The Unthanks DIVERSIONS VOL. 4 The Songs And Poems Of Molly Drake RRM016 and RRM016LP RabbleRouser Music 2017 Released on vinyl, CD and download. Distributed by Cadiz Music. The Unthanks release what has been their most difficult album to make so far, and yet they feel is also their possibly their best to date, thanks !to not one but two Drakes, neither of whom are Nick! ! plus Extras RM017 and RRM017EP RabbleRouser Music 2017. Exclusively direct from The Unthanks. An 8 track appendage to the album, released on 10” vinyl and CD, released on the same day but only available directly from the band’s website & shows. A wistful mother makes some simple home recordings in her family sitting room during the 1950s. Little could she have known that decades later, a daughter would become a successful actress, and her son one of the most poetic and influential songwriters ever. Less still, that more than sixty years later, the dust would be blown off her song collection, firstly in 2013 with the release of her own recordings, and now by The Unthanks, who believe her work is extraordinary enough to rank alongside and independently of her brilliant son, Nick Drake. From the album sleeve notes: Hearing a woman, a mother, from that time, expressing the struggle between darkness and light, so beautifully, with such artistry, confidently, and yet kind of from behind closed doors, is as compelling a listen as we’ve ever experienced. The Unthanks have teamed up with Molly Drake’s daughter, the actress Gabrielle Drake who along with being an invaluable and generous guide to Molly’s work, recorded her mother’s poems for The Unthanks to set to music.

  • An English Requiem — Issue 118, 1 February 2018
    C L A S S I C A L M U S I C D A I L Y An English Requiem — Issue 118, 1 February 2018 CD SPOTLIGHT — BRAHMS IN LONDON Gerald Fenech: 'One of Brahms' most popular works and undoubtedly his greatest choral piece is Ein deutsches Requiem. Premiered in its complete seven movements on 18 February 1869 in Leipzig, the Requiem was a great success despite some initial critical reservations. 'The work was soon enthusiastically sought out by choral societies all over Europe not least in Britain, where choral singing is regarded as the lifeblood of the nation. Indeed, there are records of its being performed some thirty times between the full Leipzig premiere and the 1873 Philharmonic Society performance. But, oddly enough, the Philarmonic's was not the first English performance. This took place on 7 July 1871 in a private performance in London with reduced forces using Brahms' four-handed arrangement instead of an orchestra. The records show the choir was of about thirty voices and the piano duettists were the veteran English composer Cipriani Potter and Kate Loder, a prominent pianist at the Royal Academy of Music. This version subsequently became known as the "London Version" and the composer and scholar George Alexander Macfarren, in his notes to the Philarmonic's performance of 2 April 1873, dubbed the work "An English Requiem".' (Johannes Brahms: An English Requiem, Delphian DCD34195) Gerald also listens to Ástor Piazzolla and Horacio Ferrer's María de Buenos Aires (Delphian DCD34186) and to Jorge Federico Osorio — Final Thoughts (Cedille CDR 90000 171).

  • King Creosote Pr 2016
    KING CREOSOTE (SCOT) Astronaut Meets Appleman Label: Domino Records Release Date: 2. September 2016 Web: http://www.kingcreosote.com EPK: irascible.ch/de/releases/king-creosote/astronaut-meets-appleman Astronaut Meets Appleman explores the tension and harmony between tradition and technology – between analogue and digital philosophies – and also invokes a feeling, King Creosote (other- wise known as Fife’s Kenny Anderson) says, of “being caught between heaven and earth”. Astro- naut Meets Appleman follows King Creosote’s breakthrough record From Scotland With Love (2014) and his Mercury-nominated collaboration with Jon Hopkins, Diamond Mine (2011). It ar- rives replete with a chamber-rock rabble and then some: harps and bagpipes come as standard, as does silence. The first track to be shared is the album’s opener ‘You Just Want’. A seven- minute piece of hymnal drone-pop, its touchstones are the art of patience, scenes of mild bon- dage and Venus (in Furs). Elsewhere on the record, ‘Melin Wynt’ is a lilting bagpipe-techno odyssey. KC explains “It’s an anti-wind turbine song, from a place called windmill. There are no windmills there.” This sense of place, disorientation and absence (in space, time, nature, hearts) underpins Astronaut Meets Appleman – most literally, perhaps, in the silence that unfolds amidst crestfallen lullaby ‘Rules of Engagement’. Or, as he intones on philharmonic lament 'Faux Call', “it's the silence that somehow says it all”. The KC idiom – equal parts geometry, self-deprecation, cosmic wonder and seafaring poetry – remains intact on the forthcoming album, as does his knack for a killer couplet (see drive-pop calypso ‘Love Life’: “Her jealous accusations know no bounds / Scarlett Johansson was never in my house”).
