Edge Radio Recommended: Emma Russack & Lachlan Denton - 'Take The Reigns'

28/10/2019

 
Picture
Emma Russack & Lachlan Denton have unveiled their new collaborative album Take The Reigns.

Written over a tumultuous 6-month period for the two artists, Take The Reigns is a stunning showcase of Russack and Denton's singular songwriting abilities, masterfully melding the prolific artists' signature sounds for a compelling listen that spans earnest pop, melodic indie rock and melancholic balladry. 

The album was recorded in just a few sessions with friends. Dylan Young (Way Dynamic) recorded and produced the record and mixed half of it, with the other half being mixed by Liam 'Snowy' Halliwell (one of Denton's bandmates in The Ocean Party), who also mastered it. Dainis Lacey from Cool Sounds played guitar and bass on some tracks. 

On this album the pair have captured an incredible friendship that has had profound ups and downs over the past year, yet has only grown stronger.

Release: October 18, 2019, Spunk Records

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: twen - 'Awestruck'

21/10/2019

 
Picture
Nashville-via-Boston DIY scene duo Twen's long awaited debut album, Awestruck, is a time capsule two years in the making and recorded in different locations along the way. Though unabashedly indie rock, Twen’s songs genre-bend from shoe-gaze-sized walls of sound to Beatle-esque call-and-response harmonies, while frontperson Jane Fitzsimmons’ voice weaves through guitarist Ian Jones’ guitar lines with Cocteau Twin’s inspired flair, giving breath of ethereal mysticism across the album.

For the past two years, Twen has been re-defining what a touring band looks like. In an age of homogeneous pop crafted for streaming consumption, Twen have been touring endlessly and perfecting a raw and mesmerizing live show without a proper release in tow. With DIY at the core of the band’s ethos, the two Twen masterminds have run Airbnbs while touring, played in exchange for skydiving, screen printed self-designed merch items by hand, and booked their own tours. Now based in Nashville, Twen have been gearing up to release the explosive debut album Awestruck.
 
Despite the band's non-traditional start, promise grows with each step Twen takes. The freedom and chaos brought on by their nomadic roots leaks into their live performance, only to saturate further with time. With touring now defining how a rock band can earn keep in 2019, Twen represents a refreshing antidote in an increasingly digital world. Awestruck serves as their digital flag, a compressed promise of the joyous energy that awaits in their tours and records to come.

Release: 20 September, 2019, Frenchkiss/The Orchard

EDGE RADIO RECOMMENDED: Girl Band - 'The Talkies'

14/10/2019

 
Picture
Ireland's Girl Band have released their critically acclaimed long-awaited second album The Talkies out via Rough Trade Records / Remote Control Records.
 
The album was recorded in November 2018 at Ballintubbert House, Ireland - where better to accommodate Girl Band’s unsettling sound than a manor house? The alien construction of Ballintubbert and its corridors helped to navigate Girl Band's cataclysmic sound. The Talkies knowingly deals with the phenomenon of sound, the artistic blast upon the senses as artistic communication becomes sensory rather than cognitive.

Lyrically, the language on the record is decontextualised, allowing it to rock seamlessly between the absurd and the every day, creating new forms of meaning and emotion.  “The songs, for us, can be up to interpretation. It’s rarely about specific ideas and more about the process of dovetailing lyrics to fit the music.” And so it is not meaning, but the physical weight of sound that brings these lyrics into existence.


“In many ways the idea behind the album was to make an audio representation of the house. We recorded all the drums twice: once on the landing and once in the cellar, and during production we could actually cut in between both these sounds. After we cancelled the last tour we weren’t really writing together as much anymore so we were more into demoing and writing down parts then cutting them up, collaging them together in the computer and reconfiguring them that way”.

Release: September 27th, 2019, Rough Trade/Remote Control

EDGE rADIO rECOMMENDED: Angel Olsen - 'All Mirrors'

7/10/2019

 
Picture
Angel Olsen has released her bold, yet vulnerable fourth album, All Mirrors. In every way, All Mirrors is “about owning up to your darkest side, finding the capacity for new love and trusting change.”
 
In creating All Mirrors, Olsen found a new sound and voice, a blast of fury mixed with hard won self-acceptance. Throughout, she takes an introspective deep dive towards internal destinations and revelations. Seemingly simple, cooed phrases expand into massive ideas about the inability to love and universal loneliness. And then suddenly — huge string arrangements and bellowing synth swells emerge, propelling the apocalyptic tenor. Produced by Olsen and John Congleton, All Mirrors features arrangements by Jherek Bischoff, multi-instrumentalist/arranger/pre-producer Ben Babbitt, and a 14-piece orchestra.

Release: Jagjaguwar/Inertia, October 4th, 2019
