Listen to Get The Blessing’s ‘Monkfish’ off upcoming album Astronautilus

07 September 2015

Bristolian quartet Get The Blessing landed one of our favourite albums of 2014 with their fourth album Lope & Antilope. So we’re excited to know they are ready to unveil its follow-up, Astronautilus. Dedicated to the late Ornette Coleman, the album “was literally composed between crashing waves and deserted estuary sands”, says the press release, “producing an album of pounding rhythms, spacious atmospheres and strongly-crafted melodies – plus, of course, the unpredictability and musical mischievousness that have made the band so exciting and successful.”
Astronautilus is due out on October 2nd via Naim Jazz Records and Get The Blessing have already allured us with the awesome single ‘Monkfish’. Reportedly, the track is “simultaneously inspired by Thelonius Monk, a pair of Deamer’s shoes and of course, the fish”. Here it is.

Naytronix preview upcoming album with new single ‘Back In Time’

04 September 2015

With just over a month to go until Naytronix’s second album Mister Divine is released, the trio helmed by multi-instrumentalist and producer Nate Brenner has shared a second teaser in the form of ‘Back In Time’. The album’s title track, shared earlier this summer, got us salivating for this release. ‘Back In Time’ has just whet our appetite even more. As the titles suggests, the song reflects on the past. Nate explained:

“This song’s about reminiscing about the ‘good old days’. Wanting to go back to a simpler time, but of course you can’t turn back the clock… and maybe it’s wasn’t so simple then either? I wanted the song to have a relaxed feel to it but with a nice forward moving pulse.”

In support of their upcoming record, Naytronix will be embarking on a European tour this Autumn, including a show in London at The Shacklewell Arms on November 28th. The band will also perform a handful of shows in the US in October.

Now listen to ‘Back In Time’ and watch out for the release of Mister Divine on October 16th via City Slang.
