Karen Cinema returns with new album Outside

Posted on March 27, 2013 by

Following on from last year’s highly acclaimed debut album Into The Moon, Karen Cinema return with a new album entitled Outside.

The album presents an intriguing collection of blissfully gentle and atmospheric songs.

Highlights include Edge Of Night, which takes a sizeable influence from Photek’s seminal masterpiece Solaris and takes it a step further; a delicate arrangement of hypnotic pads, mournful synths and lilting saxophone, which provides a perfect backdrop for Karen’s haunting and distinctive vocals.

Elsewhere, Lost My Way highlights the artist’s ability to write a good quality pop song that would give most of her contemporaries a run for their money…

The closing track Walk Alone oozes with confidence, with Karen’s mesmerising vocals perfectly complimented by a reverberated guitar line that builds to an intense melodic climax.

The album Outside by Karen Cinema is available to buy via itunes and most other online music retailers.

Session 035 February 2013

Posted on February 9, 2013 by

Happy new year all….so the adventure into the unknown continues with this broad mix of sounds & styles, past & present…

There’s lots of highlights this month, including the welcome return of Good Looking Records, who have been out of the scene for a long long time – They’ve definitely come back fighting, with a superb Technicolour Remix of LTJ Bukem’s seminal jungle classic Music, which brings it bang up to date, and is tastefully executed.

There’s also a look back to my formative student years with a few classics from the vaults, namely an instrumental from the Verve that I was always fond of, plus a cut from the Miles Davis & Bill Laswell album Panthalassa, which I discovered through my local library’s excellent CD lending service.

Session 034 December 2012

Ok well here is the last podcast of 2012… This month sees us cover a lot of ground musically, from the bossa nova rhythms of Antônio Carlos Jobim, to the latest dubstep sounds from Grenier & Midland.

There’s a particular focus on the label Aus, which I highly recommend for it’s excellent range of deep house, techno and dubstep – It’s rare these days to find a label which so regularly delivers, but Aus is definitely one to watch.

KGB Lawyer Announces Debut Album On Goodluckbadluck Label

Posted on November 16, 2012 by
KGB Lawyer

KGB Lawyer

September’s edition of the sessions podcast featured a new track by KGB Lawyer, titled Old Berlin…

KGB Lawyer is a new project from singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Christopher Matule, the mastermind behind numerous music projects, including Badmammal, The Gimps, and Suicider.

The inspiration for Songs of Paranoia and Contentment comes directly from the cold-war era; a time of extreme paranoia; this theme gives the album and fun and humerous edge, with tracks like Cut Me Into Pieces, which actually has an almost lounge like quality, whilst the lyrics, which explain that they wanna lock me up for twelve years / cut me into pieces, would make anyone nervous!

Don’t Run Away, with it’s slap bass and funky guitar, is almost perfect love-making music, in which the narrator unnerving tells his lady to stop trying to run away !!

The closing track, Old Berlin, which originally started life as a song from Chris’ side project The Gimps, is like a vintage David Bowie track that never was, with an excellent piano & guitar melody that sticks in your mind, accompanied by nice, subtle horns.

Overall, this is an engaging, and impressive debut album from KGB Lawyer.

You can check out a preview of the entire album, below:
