Burgess had been a long time fan of Gordon’ s work with Arthur Russell and The Love Of Life Orchestra. The album was produced by Gordon in New York and features many of his and Tim’ s previous collaborators Ernie Brooks who played with Arthur Russell on the first Modern Lovers album, trombone player Peter Zummo, conga player Mustafa Ahmed and Nik Void from Factory Floor.What I love about working with Peter is that in the late 70s with Peter Zummo and Arthur Russell and all the New York cats at The Kitchen, they were all making futuristic records, Burgess enthuses. Now Peter in his mid60s is still looking to do that. Its the world that I want to be in.The album will be available on Limited Clear Double Vinyl, CD and Digital.

Heavy Elevator Vinyl by Hamish Hawk
Vivian Comma paints the Madonna, visibly on the verge of fainting. Christopher Wren walks amongst us once more, forswearing designing cathedrals for singing them. One half of the 1973 Mauritian Badminton Doubles Ch&ions has a perfect serve. The boy who inhabits Track Three of John Lennon’ s Imagine repeatdials, passiveaggressively, to Tiree. A funeral, swinging to the Gay Gordons. A latterday Paul the Apostle is offended by the sight of Edinburgh Castle – and, infinitesimally worse, can’ t finish a beer.These are the people and places, scenes and scenarios of the songs of Hamish Hawk.Rich of voice and even richer of imagination, the singersongwriter from Edinburgh creates musical penportraits as vivid in lyric as they are in melody. In all the wholly best ways, these are chamber pop songs that have swallowed both a dictionary and a compendium of modern urban and island fairy tales. And, on Heavy Elevator, his first fullyformed album, this prolific artist presents a perfect ten tracks packed with characters, incident, emotion, geographicalartistic references and tunes to hang your coat on.Heavy Elevator, released on September 17th 2021, is the criticallyacclaimed breakthrough album from Edinburgh’ s Hamish Hawk.“The words, compositional strength and compelling voice add up to something like a British Rufus Wainwright… Mojo “That is a great, great record” Marc Riley, BBC 6Music “…an album that recalls the charm of the Smiths in its melodic richness and literary world view.” The TimesScottish Album Of The Year 2021 The Skinny “This is arch, playful indiepop with one eyebrow raised and the other one winking. Hawk’ s captivating croon is at the centre of these songs, lending just the right amount of theatrics to his lyrical wit.” The New Cue “On an immaculate collection of songs that tether themselves to your memory, Hamish Hawk establishes himself as a songwriting heavyweight.” Secret MeetingAn artist in love with words, his wry, brooding constructions put us in mind of Jarvis Cockers solo work, or even aspects of Richard Hawleys catalogue.

For The Love of you / Everybody Knows RSD 2024 7 Inch Vinyl by Family Underground
Formed by Roland Treaudo and Manuel Herrera Jr, the Family Underground emerged from the rich musical tapestry of New Orleans. Despite their distinct upbringings in Baptist and Hispanic congregations, the band achieved widespread popularity. Securing a coveted Sunday residency at Whiteys Devils Den, located in the heart of New Orleans, the band’s dynamic performances led by Manuel on the grand piano and Roland on the mic drew in crowds that exceeded the 400person capacity. Remarkably, this energetic scene continued until 4 am every Monday for over 250 consecutive weeks, all without the need for promotion or flyers. Amidst frequent tours and a bustling schedule across the Southern states, the band had limited time for recording. In 1975, at Cos Matassas Warehouse Studio, they produced the single “Everybody Knows”. The following year, their rendition of the Isley Brothers For The Love Of You became a strippeddown classic, surpassing the original. Until now anyone wanting to own this piece of rare New Orleans funk and soul had to pay out nearly 150 for the pleasure, but for the first time in 49 years, the release has been officially licensed and lovingly reissued on heavyweight 7 vinyl, exclusively for RSD. An essential purchase for any lovers of rare soul and funk from the Deep SouthPlease allow 57 business days for dispatch.
