I had the great pleasure of producing and mixing the album, and it’s a real honour to be involved in the project. Recorded last summer at Maps HQ, and then worked on remotely for the final production, it is a wonderful album which really showcases Emma’s beautifully melodic songwriting – and it was a joy to delve into creating a sonic world for these songs.

It also features the superb guitar playing of Richard Oakes from Suede on 4 tracks!

Also thrilled to finally get the opportunity to work on a record with longtime friend and all-round super human Nat Cramp from Sonic Cathedral.

OUT NOW!!

‘Transmission (Plaid Remix)’

Released digitally via Mute Records

https://mute.ffm.to/trnsmsnplaid

It is hard for me to put into words just how much of an influence Plaid have had on me and my music from a very early age, and right through my career. They are one of the true pioneers of electronic music, always pushing boundaries with every release. Their music encouraged me to start fiddling around with a 4-Track Cassette Recorder way before I started making music as Maps, and their incredible albums continue to inspire me to this day.

So it was an absolute honour that Andy and Ed agreed to remix ‘Transmission’! It is a magnificent and haunting reworking of the original track. ‘Transmission’ is probably one of the most melancholically uplifting tracks on ‘Counter Melodies’, and Plaid have really pushed that feeling and created something completely magical.

The squelching bassline propels the pulse of the mix and the detuned synths float in and out like waves of memories. Plaid have lent a depth of emotion to the remix that is really striking and stays with the listener long after it fades. I am so grateful to Andy and Ed for this reworking, it is sublime! 🙏🙏
