Lovely to hear 🙏🏻❤️
The music of John Martyn has always been a source of inspiration for us. This is a cover of his song "Please Fall In Love With Me" that we recorded as a collaboration with our friends She Owl and was mixed by Robin Guthrie. (Video by Jolanda Moletta)

We're back home after spending a few days in the studio working on the mixes for our next album and adding some vocal overdubs. Another song finished and a couple more almost done. It's really exciting to hear everything coming together. Merci, Robin!

More news soon…

Very excited to be part of the Longform Editions batch # 41 that is out today! My collab with Jolanda Moletta features alongside three other tracks from some amazing artists. Enjoy the deep listening experience & make a note to subscribe to Longform Editions Bandcamp for this Bandcamp Friday 😉 🥳
Longform Editions 41 is now:

Sanae Yamada's transcendent stream of life in bloom;
The Nighttime Ensemble's slow-motion jazz-noir;
Reign of Ferns' fever-dream environments;
Jolanda Moletta & Karen Vogt's vocal cocoon.

Agreed, I've had the same thought that BLT should have been a non-album single. Doesn't feel like it integrates into the tracklisting (to my ear) as well as, say, Perfect Kiss on Low-Life. Did not know that about Dream Attack... very interesting, but also makes sense from the words.
Those albums are crying out for proper reissues like Gronland did with the Neu! catalogue, Harmonia, and Rother solo albums. Maybe there's a rights issue or something like that holding things back...
Agreed. "All Day Long" somehow seems to fly under the radar, perhaps overshadowed by "BLT"? That end section is just incredible, yet I rarely see it mentioned. No arguments from me about b-side of Technique, near-perfect run of songs ending with another of my faves, "Dream Attack."
Yeah, it's really tough to pick one from those four... Brotherhood, for example, is hard to go past just for "All Day Long." Technique is the one I come back to the most though. Even the tracks you rarely hear people mention like "Love Less" are just superb.
Likely an unpopular opinion, but this is their best album for me, the perfect blend of all the different aspects of New Order. It all comes together beautifully on tracks like Run – that breakdown in the middle... perfection.
Don't think I've ever seen a copy on vinyl firsthand, reissue or original, so that's a great find. Surely long overdue a reissue, along with definitive versions of the La Dusseldorf catalogue...
Fake History was a good read, wasn't aware of Fake Heroes, will have to check that out...
That's a great and very underrated record. Is there a new reissue?
Adored might be understating it...!
Absolutely. Feels so much calmer...! Really nice work with the new album, artwork, and videos, just watching "Final Feather" at the moment. Very cool.
Came here to get away from Twitter, discovered some cool new bands - unexpected bonus! 😀
Thanks for including us, much appreciated. 🙏
Thanks, lovely to hear! Bluesky is turning out to be really great for finding new bands and new music to check out 😀
Love that artwork, esp. with the vinyl... very cool. Having a listen now...

And here is ASTORIA another EP you can hear on all platforms or buy at robinguthrie.bandcamp.com/album/astori...
Criminally underrated. Love these guys, great music and great people.
It's almost four years now (give or take a week or two...) since we released this video to preview our last album. Many thanks to Irina and Guillaume for the video. Just lovely, fits the music so well. Keep an eye out for some new videos and new music in the new year...

Perhaps we can start here with some news... We're now about halfway through mixing our new album and will hopefully be back in the studio next month to continue working. We're really happy with how it's all sounding and can't wait to share these new songs with everyone.
