‘But Now We’re Not In The Dark’

https://lnk.to/LOKI028

A new collaboration with the brilliant Russian Linesman. It is always a pleasure to work together, and I am so happy with this song. Hope you enjoy it!

Russian Linesman sent me his original track, which I worked on and also added the vocals, using the Linesman’s lyrics. We really enjoyed creating this.

Taken from his new album ‘If Miniature World Is Our Safe Space, Then Pass Me The Shrink Ray’.

More from Russian Linesman about his upcoming album here:

‘But Now We’re Not In The Dark (featuring Maps)’ is the first single from my forthcoming album ‘If Miniature World Is Our Safe Space, Then Pass Me The Shrink Ray’.

The project features a number of collaborators: Mercury Prize nominated Maps (Mute Records), one of Lil Peep’s producers Lederrick, Valeska Rautenberg Music, Marta Hagen, Lív Næs, Scarlet Season and Cesca.

“The album was inspired by a rummage through old boxes of lyrics and diaries during lockdown, this musical journey explores the emotional complexities of navigating modern life while yearning for the simplicity of the past.”

6-track companion piece to my album ‘Counter Melodies’!

‘Badlands On Fire’, the incredible solo album from Adam Nutter, is OUT NOW!!

It was such a joy and absolute honour to produce this album! Adam is an amazing artist and writer of such emotional and beautiful melodies. His guitar playing is just magnificent, and the whole album is a wonderful, cathartic musical exploration – setting fire to the past and looking skyward to a euphoric future. I love it. ❤️❤️❤️

This album really is medicine for the soul. It has been such a wonderful journey and it is a hugely exciting moment for all involved.

The mind-blowing artwork and design was created by Ross McCully and Nicola McCully – every part of the visual aspects of the album are just superb!

I also had the great privilege of contributing some words about the creation of each song to the Limited Edition signed book which is available to order now. Adam, Ross and myself talk about how the album came together from start to finish.

Currently available on vinyl/CD and Limited Edition Digital Pressing.

Head over to Adam Nutter’s page to order all the goodies 🙂

‘Lack Of Sleep (Pye Corner Audio Remix)’ is OUT NOW on all digital platforms via Mute.

https://mute.ffm.to/maps_cm

I have been a huge fan of Pye Corner Audio ever since I heard the album ‘Sleep Games’ in 2012. I was instantly hooked by the sound Martin Jenkins created, and have followed his incredible career ever since. For me his sound is a beautiful mixture of the nostalgic and dystopian, pushing sonic boundaries with every release. The world of Pye Corner Audio is a warm yet brooding place to completely lose yourself in. It has always been a dream of mine to work together so it was incredible to get that opportunity!

The remix of Lack Of Sleep is fantastic, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Majestically, unashamedly huge in every way, it really is a monster of a remix. The build throughout is magnificent, and takes the original further towards the dance floor – while still maintaining Pye Corner Audio’s signature, inimitable style. Complete with Acid squelches, euphoric pulsing synths and the constant pushing rhythmic momentum, the remix is a work of beauty and a perfect rush of endorphins. Turn it up!
