SEVEN NOISES

I haven't mentioned Beko for a while now. It's hardly impossible to get track of all what they put up as every Monday you have a new (virtual)free single, compilation, boxset, etc.. and if you get distracted for a while, you've missed some weeks and have lots to catch up. This last Monday though, is obvious that I would mention, taking into account the previous post, the free 11 track compilation they put together on collaboration with La Station Radar. 11 artist that have previously released something for this label hands out a new / unreleased track for our enjoyment, including some personal favourites like Ela Orleans, Dirty Beaches, Jeans Wilder or Archers by the Sea. You can download the whole thing (and many more free great music) here

This 7 inch has already a couple of months but the hibernation of the blog + how long it takes the postage from France to the UK during the Christmas season have delayed the whole thing. Probably you've heard something about Jeans Wilder before, maybe one of his numerous tapes or maybe the split single he put out with Best Coast, as well as this for La Station Radar, one label that has increasingly become more and more indispensable. This single contains three songs of noise surf that work as a perfect companion for his first proper vinyl LP, Nice Trash, out at the same time as a collaboration between this label and Atelier Ciseaux which is more sampled and melody based and explores other quieter territories.
You can get both things here

If you didn't have enough with the great three singles Best Coast put out at the end of last year, here we have another one coming out next Monday. In this case is a split single together with Jeans Wilder on the French / Canadian label Atelier Ciseaux, a label that puts a lot of effort in beautiful handmade packaging (check previous releases by Lucky Dragons or Francois Virot) this time made by Jeremy Perrodeau who reflects the beach and tropical sounds of the tracks on his artwork.
Jeans Wilder, who has (and will) put out some really interesting stuff in labels such as the previously commented on here La Station Radar, delivers a looped lo-fi tropical falsetto track, Tough Guy, that makes you wanna dance and smoke under the palm trees. Best Coast's Up All Night is a fuzzed up 60s style ballad in the key of Make You Mine.
The 7" limited to 350 copies is already not available on pre-sale but you can check early on Monday 18th for the possibility of a few copies left.
And check out as well the other forthcoming Best Coast single, Something in the Way, out in February on PPM.
