VARIOUS ARTISTS - WE DREAM IN SOUND

Released December 2012
TOR35


We've made it! 12 singles in 12 calendar months, each expressing a different take on the possibilities of the 45 single, compiled into a double album.  

Covering nuggets garage to stoner folk to crash politica to spacecut boogie to pop politica to crazy horse rumble to gutter shronk howl to NYC desperation to jjjjjjudder pop to country swoon to prog street African skiffle and back to Garage nuggets as golden as the Cumbrian sun.

 It’s been emotional……. a whirlwind of tears, smiles, spoofs, blood, comedic gesture, growls,  dance moves, collective sighs, swoons and groans – a big thanks to all involved, the orchestra has shown itself to be a collective in the truest sense of the word.

We dream in sound. 2012. Dance to the 45. 2013 keep on shakin'… - Marc

THE NIGHTOWL SINGS - STUCKISM (WITH YOU)/WE ARE WALKING GHOSTS

Released December 2012
TOR34


Dropping just in time for the 22nd December celebrations, The Nightowl Sings present an ideal soundtrack for the most important day of the year. Make sure your aluminium pole is standing straight and true afterwards because it's likely to have been knocked sideways by this none-more lo-fi attack of scuzzy guitars, cardboard box drums and cymbals pushing through the red. It's loud, it's bratty, things might get broken, but boy is it invigorating.

Realising that most people are probably feeling a little bit tired of the Christmas spirit by now, The Nightowl Sings present a double blast of aural adrenalin, blasting the icing off the mince pies and the tinsel off the tree – heh, it was too distracting anyway. No children's choir, no bells, no stupid jumpers with reindeers on, “Stuckism (With You)” (fast and messy) and “We Are Walking Ghosts” (slower, still a bit sloppy) are a timely antidote to all the enforced cheer, melody and Paul McCartney that we suffer in December.

So make a stand. Prepare the meatloaf. Make up your list for the Airing of Grievances. Ensure you're limber enough for the Feats of Strength. And put on The Nightowl Sings single, which brings to a close the mighty ambitious We Dream In Sound project (12 months, 12 singles, job's a good 'un). The best thing is, with no reference to any month, day or season, it can be enjoyed all year round. It's a Festivus Miracle!
