New ALAN VEGA Album From His Archives Lands May 31 – Hear Rad Tracks ‘MERCY’ And ‘CYNADE SOUL’

Posted on by JL

24 May 2024

Another previously unreleased album, following the splendid 2021 Mutator LP,
by the late great ALAN VEGA (1938-2016) raises from his archives on May 31,
named INSURRECTION.

11 songs showcase the unparalleled vision and uncompromising
force from one of the most influential artists of all time.

Liz Lamere (Vega’s widow and collaborator): “Insurrection was created in the time
period around 1997/98, after Mutator and prior to Vega’s 1999 release of 2007 and
captures the intense energy of NYC in the 90s rife with crime, killing, hate, fascism,
racism, and moral bankruptcy. You can hear the tortured souls floating through this
album.”

Jared Artaud (fellow Vega collaborator): “Insurrection hits hard and shows the power
and intensity of Alan Vega’s visionary solo work. It feels like he was trying to break new
ground. There’s always a kind of magic that goes into working on Vega’s music. I feel like
he was tapped into some other dimension. One hand in the gutter and one hand in
the stars.”

Order info here.

Ahead of the release come we got these two tasters.
Uncanny percussion, ghostly vocals, and other-worldly vibes.

New DAVID GILMOUR Album ‘LUCKY AND STRANGE’ Out In September – Hear First Taster ‘THE PIPER’S CALL’

Posted on by JL

25 April 2024


Artwork and photography by legend Anton Corbijn.

Former Pink Floyd guitar hero DAVID GILMOUR (aged 78 now) has finished
the recordings of his 5th solo LP. It’s titled LUCKY AND STRANGE and will
land on September 6 via Sony Music.

The 8-track album is Gilmour’s first album of new
material in nine years since Rattle That Lock.

David Gilmour about producer Charlie Andrew: (alt-J, Marika Hackman). “We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos, and said things like, “Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?” and “Do they all fade out? Can’t some of them just end?”. He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine. He’s very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you.”

The majority of the album’s lyrics have been composed by Polly Samson,
Gilmour’s co-writer and collaborator for the past thirty years.

“It’s written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant.”

First taster is THE PIPER’S CALL. A both gentle and electrifying musing that
brings that iconic band, named Pink Floyd, in the late 70s era, to mind.
