NIGHTPORTS W/ TOM HERBERT – OCTOBER

Posted on 2022-03-28

Nightports w/ Tom Herbert is the third in a series of albums from musician-producers Adam Martin and Mark Slater to be released on The Leaf Label, following 2018’s Nightports w/ Matthew Bourne and 2020’s Nightports w/ Betamax.

Tom Herbert made his name as the bass player in Mercury Music Prize-nominated bands Polar Bear and The Invisible, and has become an in-demand collaborator and session musician, including work with Adele, Lana Del Ray and most recently The Smile. Having honed his craft holding the low-end down in some of the most forward-thinking British groups of recent times, and also appearing on some the biggest tracks of the last twenty years, Nightports w/ Tom Herbert brings Herbert’s command of the double bass into the spotlight.

HOLGER ZILSKE – TRANSFORMATION

Posted on 2022-03-21

A veteran of the German electronic music scene, Holger Zilske’s new single for Hypercolour most certainly doesn’t have its sound in the past, as a heady mix of electro beats, vocals and pop sensibilities mash up for a refreshing release.

A mainstay on the legendary Playhouse label (along with fellow Hypercolour collaborators Roman Flügel and Losoul), as well as numerous pseudonym projects for labels like BPitch Control and Get Physical, Zilske drops a couple of electro-tinged barnstormers on his first release of 2022.

CARMEN VILLAIN – SUBTLE BODIES

Posted on 2022-03-14

A culmination of a build-up that began with a turn in sound evident on 2019’s Both Lines Will Be Blue, Only Love From Now On presents Norwegian-Mexican Carmen Villain’s aesthetic blossoming into something unexpected, benevolent in its composure and altogether luxuriant in its sensuality.

If her themes are wide, philosophical, and occasionally abstract, the emotional tenor of Hillestad’s music is clear and purposeful. Makes sense that her key musical touchstones are dub, ambient, and cosmic jazz – flexible vehicles for tranquil wonder.
