Led Bib - It's Morning - new album; now with vocals! (RareNoise)

From the Homeric invocation of ethereal opener “Atom Story,” it becomes stunningly clear that It’s Morning, the latest album from the uncategorizable UK ensemble Led Bib, is meant to take the listener on a journey. The wide-ranging and evocative set is also a testament to the distance the band has travelled on its own evolutionary path. If not the endpoint, it at least sits at a far-flung guidepost along a transformative odyssey undertaken by the eclectic ensemble. Led Bib has long been renowned for its skronky, livewire fusion of exploratory jazz improvisation with the brute force of heavy rock and the labyrinthine architecture of prog. It’s Morning (due out September 27, 2019 via RareNoise Records) retains an identifiable sense of adventure and virtuosity while marking a vast departure from previous recordings, veering into the realm of elusive, poetic narrative and lysergic beauty.

The most immediately apparent change from past Led Bib outings is the addition of vocals, folding the band’s boundary-stretching vocabulary into gorgeous if complex song forms. The band’s core line-up – Holub, bassist Liran Donin, saxophonists Chris Williams and Pete Grogan, and new keyboardist Elliot Galvin – are joined by a pair of gifted vocalists: Sharron Fortnam, a co-founder of the North Sea Radio Orchestra whose intoxicating mezzo soprano has also graced recordings by the noted British prog-punk band Cardiacs; and Jack Hues, best known as frontman for the 80s new wave band Wang Chung. Sharron Fortnam- vocals Chris Williams – alto saxophone Pete Grogan – alto and tenor saxophone Elliot Galvin – keyboards and piano Liran Donin – bass, backing vocals on track 2 Mark Holub – drums Also featuring: Jack Hues – vocals Susanna Gartmayer – bass clarinet Irene Kepl – violin Noid – cello

Lost Crowns “Every Night Something Happens”

Tatsache: Das Album erschien bereits am 25.01.2019 bei Bad Elephant Music (https://lostcrowns.bandcamp.com/album/every-night-something-happens)

Meinung: Endlich mal eine Supergroup, die super ist. In Lost Crowns gehen Knifeworld, Stars In Battledress, Cardiacs und alle darin vereinten Talente eine wunderbare Verbindung ein. Das Album ist ein Fest für Freunde von Rock In Opposition, Canterbury und Avantgarde. Harmonisch fordernd, exzentrisch und gleichzeitig elegant as fuck werden Melodien, die im ersten Moment wie Außerirdische wirken, bald zu unzerstörbaren Ohrwürmern. Neben ihrem Maß an Exzentrik demonstriert das Video zur Single “Let Loving her Be Everything” genau diesen Umstand. Das Soundgewand erinnert an Henry Cow und frühe Soft Machine. Bewusst verzichtete Mastermind Richard Larcombe dabei darauf, das Album durch Kompression zu einem Rock-Brocken zu machen. Im Gegenteil klingt das Ensemble fast kammermusikalisch. “Every Night...” ist das bestmögliche Album, das diese Band machen konnte und erscheint eigentlich viel zu kurz. In der vitalen Progressiv-Szene Londons sind Lost Crowns schon jetzt Helden. Damit haben sie bei uns keinerlei Chancen auf größere Bekanntheit, was in diesem Fall allerdings eher ein Qualitätsmerkmal ist.

A shining disco symphony for the dark days of Brexit.

A disco concept album about Brexit, groove to the UK being flushed down the toilet.

Some news on the Led Bib front....our new album ‘It’s Morning’ is coming out on September 27th on RareNoise Records....it’s something a bit different for us, a sort of song suite, which we worked on with the great Sharron Fortnam and Jack Hues.

We also are working with Dylan Pecora, who is making a film for the whole project which we will be playing live to.....he made a little trailer for it, and it’s here!

This project will be hitting he road for a few shows this autumn alongside the film, and I am looking forward to it immensely!

Also, coming up this autumn are another tour with Colin Webster supporting our new album out on Raw Tonk, and a tour with Blueblut supporting our new album Andenborstengürteltier....more details when they are all finished!

Hope to get some more live dates up on this site....working on that at the moment! And if you are at Impulstanz in Vienna this year, come say hello, I am playing for most of the festival over at the Arsenal!

On what is a little after the 1 year anniversary since I last posted something on here.....I thought it was high time for a little update. I’m just back from a great tour with Colin Webster promoting our new album out now on Raw Tonk Records. You can take a listen here:

There is actually a lot of stuff brewing on the recording front....coming out at the end of 2019 is a new Led Bib song suite with the great Sharron Fortnam, also a new Blueblut album, a new trio album with Viola Falb and Bernd Satzinger, and the debut album from Perlin Noise... But first, this one is coming out in April and is something I worked on many years ago with Jack Hues and The Quartet and the great Syd Arthur from Canterbury, it's out in April and we are doing a tiny tour to support it then, so hope to see you out there!
