Paul White – ‘My Guitar Whales’ // The Bright Future PREVIEW [Listen]
Friday, March 26th, 2010Posted by Nickname
Sorry, these aren’t up for download yet, but here’s the first single, ‘My Guitar Whales’ taken from Paul White’s forthcoming album ‘Paul White & The Purple Brain’. A psychedelic stripped-down banger, it mixes an Eastern-influenced organ hook, rock hard drums, fuzzy synth bass and delirious chanting to mesmerising effect.
On the flip, The Bright Future twins a naggingly catchy piano refrain with tumbling drums and the quirky touches that give White’s music so much character.
Don’t forget to download the first official giveaway ‘Ancient Treasure’ from the album in my previous post here.
A collaboration of sorts, Paul White & The Purple Brain is based around and inspired by the work of little-known Swedish psych-rock guru S.T. Mikael. Having been granted access to Mikael’s back catalogue, Paul White found a unique source of inspiration and challenged himself to create an album using the Swedish multi-instrumentalist’s work as the sole basis for his output. The result is an endlessly inventive showcase of what’s possible when armed with just a sampler, a few studio toys and a fertile imagination and marks a significant step forward from 2009’s cult hit ‘The Strange Dreams of Paul White’.
Released by: One-Handed Music
Release/catalogue number: HAND7007
Release date: Apr 19, 2010

Mr Chop feat. CL Smooth & Malcom Catto – ‘T.R.O.Y.’ [Download]
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009Posted by Nickname
If you follow my Tweets on Twitter you may have already heard me going on about Mr Chop. Since dropping his first EP ‘Lightworlds’ last year, and having co-produced & co-written some tracks from MF Doom’s ‘Born Like This‘ LP, he’s just dropped a new album on Five Day Weekend called ‘For Pete’s Sake’ which provides us with some serious dope instrumetal covers of some of Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s most classic jams.
After seeing the Pete Rock & CL Smooth show last week at The Garage, I’ve been listening to not a great deal more than just this album. Just as I was starting to wish some of the tracks would feature CL’s distinctive vocal on, I discover that Five Day Weekend are putting out x2 7 inches doing just that… and day a later, I find the promo’s sitting in my inbox. Nice one.
The first 7 inch is ‘Straighten It Out’ and includes both vocal and instrumental. The second 7 inch is T.R.O.Y. (well they had to really, didn’t they!).
Oh… and the legendary Malcom Catto on percussion can’t be bad either!
Not sure I’m allowed to share all of them, so here’s a lo-res to listen to courtesy of Stones Throw Records for now:
