Murphy’s Heart
Murphy’s Heart
July 20th, 2010Thea Gilmore’s 10th album, Murphy’s Heart will be released on August 30th. We are really excited and honoured to be releasing this incredible album.
Murphy’s Heart is smart and honest and confident enough to concentrate on life’s most important themes: love and sex. She considers both the damage that love does, the violence that it can invoke, the guilt that comes with parental love, but also the maddening truth that one means precisely nothing without the other. Gilmore is wise enough to write a song like God’s Got Nothing On You which casually nails an habitual self-regarder (already speculation has it that one Tony Blair was the inspiration) who abandons “all those friends you outgrew with Bombay gin and a rose tattoo…”, while being uncynical and open enough to write something as beautiful as Due South where a young man heads off, “feet on the dash of a rented car” only to soon find himself alone and lost, “looking for hope in stiletto heels…”

Track list and profound comments by Gordon:
THE FOOLS OF YESTERDAY
‘By following orders one ends up entangled in another’s destiny.
By saying ‘No’, one ends up where you want to be.’
SOME SINS
‘The capability of human beings. See the Holocaust, see Palestine, 9/11,Ireland, the list is endless.’
FOREVERMORE
‘Love is not a prison. When it becomes one, one seeks to escape.’
WAYS OF THE WORLD
‘Those responsible for the state of our society. It is the conformists we should worry about, not the outspoken..’
ONE DAY SOON
‘You are either part of the problem or part of the solution.’
WOUNDED TIGERS
‘Both sides believe some God is with them. Remove God and all you’re left with is self-interest.’
GOOD MAN DOWN
‘Winners like to call them losers. The opposite is invariably true.’
SUNSHINE SHOES
‘The escape from oppression’
HAPPY TO BE
‘In a world of my own’
THE FEAR IS GONE
‘True love and it took 55 years to find her, as it did to find myself.’
Gordon Haskell ‘One Day Soon’ Release
Gordon Haskell ‘One Day Soon’ Release
July 20th, 2010We are so excited to be releasing Gordon Haskell’s new album One Day Soon on September 6th.
It has taken a lifetime to develop his songwriting abilities. This new album joins all of the strands together, his musicianship, his outstanding song-writing, his knowledge of the ways of the world and a wonderful voice that only comes from experiencing that world…
44 years of experience in fact, slowly developing, observing, and discovering his true self.
We believe this has resulted in the best album of his life.
We hope you like it as much as we do.

Gordon Haskell‘s first record “Circles” was with the Fleur de Lys in 1966. He was the bassist and songwriter. His first solo album was with CBS in 1969. After a brief spell with King Crimson as bassist/vocalist in 1971 he was signed to Atlantic by Ahmet Ertegun. Arif Mardin (Norah Jones) produced his 2nd album ‘It is and It isn’t’.
He has made many albums since, too numerous to mention here. The interesting point is that all of his albums and his work with the Fleur de Lys continue to attract attention to the present day, steadily selling throughout the world. His mainstream breakthrough came in 2001 with the single “How wonderful you are’ and the album ‘Harry’s Bar’in 2002. Both hit the No 2 spot and have continued to sell remaining in the Amazon charts for 8 years.
The following album ‘Shadows on the Wall’ reached 44 but suffered due to management problems and misrepresentation.
Gordon took a well earned break and wrote his autobiography. It might have ended there. In fact the opposite has happened. The new album ‘One Day Soon’ is radically different to all of the above and yet there is a subtle link to all that has gone before.
Gordon is and always was a bass player, a very good bass player schooled by the Atlantic Records artists he associated with in the 60’s.
It has taken a lifetime to develop his songwriting abilities. This new album joins all of the strands together, his musicianship, his outstanding song-writing, his knowledge of the ways of the world and a wonderful voice that only comes from experiencing that world…

Kittow’s Moor
Kittow’s Moor
July 12th, 2010Kittow’s Moor is an album full of warmth, pastoral beauty and raw passion, played with effortless skill by a band of consummate musicians, so obviously attuned to Louis’s artistic vision – among them a dairy farmer and a tin whistler who runs a fairground waltzer ride – that the glorious sound they make feels like the most natural thing in the world.
Think Hardy-esque harvest hoe-down on a Saturday night with the moon shining bright and the cider flowing; think of love lost and won with the briny taste of the sea on your lips; think of the adrenalin rush of a fairground ride and you’re there… in fact, wherever he takes you, Louis captures the essence of a scenario in a heartbeat with lyrics that evoke wistful nostalgia for good times past:
To the broken tune of an ice-cream van, I wrote a song for you on the back of my hand, if you follow me we can jump the lights of a seaside town on a Saturday night…
the unyielding forces of nature:
Feel the waves rising up to drag you under, see the clouds rolling with the sound of thunder, light a beacon and let it burn…
and pure elation at being alive:
The giddy rush of the jump and ride, when your heart was in the air, but that’s got nothing on the way it made me feel when I saw her at the fair…
You can hang around at the water’s edge but if you want to fly you’ve got to jump from the ledge…
Musically, Kittow’s Moor pulses with energy and warmth. The Embers glow red hot and threaten to burn the barn roof off, sounding like an itinerant gang of field hands, fishermen, vagabonds and the ghost of Eddie Cochran wandering west along a country road, in search of the spirit of Albion punk and determined to have a damned good time whilst they’re about it. Accordions, banjos, tin whistles and mandolins cook up a joyous rural clamour to lift your heart and send you out into the night with a smile on your face.
Louis Eliot & the Embers, timeless and magical, as English as the landscape, as fresh as a spring afternoon… …Brit-Pop indeed.
Louis Eliot & The Embers
Louis Eliot & The Embers
July 12th, 2010“Louis Eliot’s sharp lyricism and easy song writing serves him well.” NME
“True pop genius.” The Times
“Winning blend of rustic charm and urban cool…a savvy pop brain with the lyrical articulacy of a Costello or a Weller.” Uncut
“Louis Eliot has welded the sound of barn-bound folk to that of pure pop and emerged with an album that boasts ultra friendly, individually shaped songs guaranteed to warm both hands and feet.” Mojo
“My new discovery… really great stuff… ” Bob Harris, Radio 2
With the crackle of fireworks and the thrill of the fairground, Louis Eliot is back with a new incarnation – Louis Eliot & the Embers. The former frontman of Kinky Machine and Rialto – who scored three top 40 singles in the late 90s – has delivered a most evocative and accessible collection of songs with his first new album in half a decade, Kittow’s Moor.
Kittow’s Moor is the follow up to The Long Way Round – Louis Eliot’s critically acclaimed solo debut that was released by IRL in 2004. Marking Louis’s transition from metropolitan songsmith to country troubadour as he headed for home, it was declared album of the week by The Sunday Times and attracted high praise across the board.
Throughout his career, Louis has been at the hub of British songwriting talent, most recently contributing two co-writes to Adventure Man by current Ivor Novello Songwriter of the Year, Eg White – yet another addition to the proven CV of an artist who can deliver a heart-stopping hit with easy charm.
And Kittow’s Moor is no exception, demonstrating more than ever Louis’s extraordinary talent for wry observation and a rip-roaring, roller-coaster ride of a tune, but this time in the context of the countryside.
Having lived the dream of 90s London Brit-Pop hedonism, Louis Eliot snatched his Gretsch Country Gentleman guitar and headed west, swapping the fetid Thames fug for the fresh air of Cornwall. Away from the shrill whir of the capital, surrounded by timeless rolling landscapes and wild beaches, he started over.
