I can barely get a word in edgeways on this blog what with Huw and Rob posting every 5 mins...!!! Anyway, just popped in to tell you about Drift Records which is our DIY Label Of The Week on Huw Stephen's show.
R G .Morrison started Drift with Johny Lamb last October. The ethos of the label is “if it’s good, and it’s ready, then they’ll release it”
On the label are:
Birdengine, Ginger lee, Willis, Matt Eaton, R.G. Morisson, Thirty Pounds, Nada and Caruska.
They say:
“Ginger Lee and Birdengine are mad people, and watching them sit solo and unravel beautiful and utterly overpowering and truly captivating songs on stage is enough to just want to let everyone who about them”
“ We don’t feel bound by ‘genre’ in the way perhaps Warp might. When they released Maximo Park, there were some rumblings that it was a very conscious design to diversify the label. We want drifts output to be constancy surprising, veering form the folksy rumblings, through to the ruckus rockabiliy and piercing electronica”
They’ve just done their first 7” - “Lovebirds” by the Poppycocks, which will be followed by the Thirty Pounds of Bone album on the 27th November. January will see the Birdengine Album “I fed the Rabbit Water”, and February will mark the Re-release of R G Morisson’s Debut “Learning About Loathing”. Ginger Lee’s “songs fired in the forge” will be out in March, with Matt Eaton’s “Finnish your chips” in April.
They will be releasing EP’s from CottonMouth and Thirty Pounds of Bone, with full albums from Nada, Caruska and Willis before the Autumn.
