Busy little Bank Holiday half day with the team. Lovely to catch up with Paul Simpson and plan the release of the new Wild Swans album.
Schedule now agreed, pre-orders will be opening soon for this beauty.
bogle also popped in, prior to embarking upon the recording of their debut album proper next week.
We should be nearing completion of planning for the new album from The Pearlfishers, ridiculously excited about this record. It feels to me like we have been waiting a long time to welcome David Scott to the label.
On Friday past - Chris Thomson met with us to discuss the Half Speed Mastering of Sweet Deceit - which will be landing in a few weeks. As we were in the midst of this - test pressings landed at HQ for Emma Dunlop and Charlie Clark.
On Wednesday this week we will meet up with Stu Kidd to finalise all plans for "I'm Still Here" This is a glorious record and judging by the chat in the last few days, it might also have a glorious sleeve.
Also on Wednesday we will reveal a final piece of the 2027 jigsaw - something quite exciting indeed. A wonderful record from a really special artist! I hate teasing information but needs must!
Earlier in the weekend Sean Dickson took time out to have a chat with me about a late addition to 2027, I'll say no more for now but another treat beckons.
There's basically 75% of a BMX Bandits line up in this post ....... it might be a good idea to nail down some 2027 plans with Duglas T Stewart now that he has laid down his vocals for the next Gymkhana album with Jason Shaw for Jason Applin
(pause for breath)
Last night we opened pre-orders for the brand new album from St. Dukes - jump on to our website and grab yourself a slab of sonic delight!
If you are a music lover, I can't fathom why you wouldn't want to be part of this journey. A journey that will also include albums from Starless, Vickie Paxton, Louise Quinn, Xan Tyler, The Joshua Hotel, Tom Donnelly, PP Arnold, Montjuïc, Quad90music and Yamarama - and that isn't all of next years schedule.
We will release an album every 10 days or so. We will take all into the higher echelons of the album charts, we will host sold out shows and likely garner significant coverage - we will do this without paying agents or promoters or cow towing to the establishment.
The establishment will roundly ignore our achievements because that's what an establishment is bound to do. You can't celebrate the successes of something that routinely hates what you stand for now can you?
If you - however - fancy being part of this alternative ethos, if you feel like you'd rather spend £8 a month helping artists rather than £8 a week on Skinny Oat Lattes - you should thinking about joining the label as a patron.
Most folks who do seem to enjoy most of it, some even enjoy all of it and a couple wish they had never bothered.
