There are the weighty drums, a crooning guitar, and a beautiful voice singing about unrequited love and the complications inherent in affairs of the heart. But then there is something undeniably different about Thee Marloes and their music, something new and distinct. And while you may be acquainted with soul music, you've probably never heard it from Surabaya, Indonesia the place they call home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThee Marloes are Natassya Sianturi singing and playing keys, Tommy Satwick on drums, and Sinatrya (\"Raka\") Dharaka on guitar and handling production. Their sound has the universal appeal of soul, jazz, and pop, but with a distinct approach attributable to their local culture and global influence. The world's introduction to Thee Marloes' debut album Perak, started with “Midnight Hotline” the scorching A side to their debut 7” on Big Crown. A punchy dance-floor number with an infectious chorus, vibey piano, and jazzy guitar licks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerak is a journey from the heart of Surabaya into the spirit of the soul sound. It's about creating a space where none existed, and doing it because you love it. You can tell that Thee Marloes enjoy making their music, from the process of writing and recording, to performing in front of crowds. \"We want to share what we live,\" Natassya tells us. No matter what language you speak or culture you come from, Thee Marloes music and energy is so charming that we will all be keeping it close to the turntable for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: August 2024\u003cbr\u003eCat: BCR179LPC2  \u003cbr\u003eLabel: Big Crown Records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eListen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mAv9aw0tul4?si=2isT0F0s5fX4hp1_\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIDE A\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e1.

Stenemo and Berg had both logged time in other bands before joining forces in the mid-aughts, although their unique chemistry became apparent immediately.

For Flight b741, bandleader Stu Mackenzie says King Gizzard “wanted to make something that was primal, instinctual, more ‘from the gut’ – just people in a room, doing what feels right. We wanted to make something fun.” \n\u003cp\u003eTapping into the country-fried 70s American rock on which they were all raised – along with the ornery garage-rock roots from which their mighty discography sprang – Flight b741 is lightning caught inside a bottle. Across its 10 ragged, glorious barnburners, King Gizzard flesh out rough skeletons of songs with their inspired improvisations, inimitable grooves and a unique pass-the-mic approach to vocals that saw every member of the band raise their voice and sing. “We’re having a lot of fun, but we’re often singing about some pretty heavy shit,” Mackenzie adds, “and probably hitting on some deeper, more universal themes than usual. It’s not a sci-fi record, it’s about life and stuff. But the record is like a really fun weekend with your mates, you know? Like, proper fun.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: October 2024\u003cbr\u003eCat: 2292026 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eLabel: (p)doom Records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eListen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ik-gBAlEbQY?si=9QdWNg8rI7Ck1Pkd\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIDE A \u003cbr\u003eA1.

Because of his previous associations with McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, and Reggie Workman on those recordings, Shorter had been unfairly branded with the \"just-another-Coltrane-disciple\" tag, despite his highly original and unusual compositions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, with only Jones remaining and his bandmates from the Miles Davis Quintet, Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter on board (with Freddie Hubbard filling out the horn section), Shorter at last came into his own and caused a major reappraisal of his earlier work. The odd harmonic frameworks used to erect Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, with its balladic structure augmented with a bluesy regimen of hard bop and open-toned modalism, create the illusion of a much larger band managing all that timbral space. Likewise on the title track, with its post-bop-oriented melodic line strewn across a wide chromatic palette of minors and Hancock's piano pushing through a contrapuntal set of semi-quavers, the avant-garde meets the hard bop of the '50s head on and everybody wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: August 2024\u003cbr\u003eCat: 5879067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eLabel: Blue Note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eListen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIDE 1\u003cbr\u003e1.

Scotland's Linn Electronics wanted a demo track to demonstrate the fidelity and versatility of their new recording console and tapped a struggling local trio, the Blue Nile, to provide it. Their effort was a deliberately disjunctive song called \"A Walk Across the Rooftops.\" To demonstrate the recording equipment's dynamic range and clarity, the song was arranged most peculiarly, with vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and full string and horn sections all appearing, but never at the same time. Linn liked the song so much that they formed a record label and bankrolled the recording of this full album. The seven lengthy tracks on A Walk Across the Rooftops all follow the model of the opener, with Paul Buchanan's rich voice at the center of near-symphonic arrangements that manage to sound lush and incredibly austere at the same time. The tempos are deadly slow, with the most upbeat track, \"Tinseltown in the Rain,\" barely rising above a graceful saunter, and the inventive arrangements make extensive use of empty space. This was a popular album for demonstrating the lack of hiss and background noise in the then-new compact disc medium, but A Walk Across the Rooftops works even better as a piece of music than as a stereo demonstration record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased: August 2024\u003cbr\u003eCat: \u003cspan\u003eBLUELP001\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Confetti Records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eListen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"The Blue Nile","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":41909006958694,"sku":"DISPRO","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1795\/4365\/files\/TheBlueNile-AWalkAcrossTheRooftopsvinyl-RecordCulture.jpg?v=1723208769"},{"product_id":"blue-nile-hats-2024-reissue","title":"Hats (2024 Reissue)","description":"Hats is the second studio album by Scottish band the Blue Nile, originally released on 16 October 1989 on Linn Records and A\u0026amp;M Records.
