NO CARS // ‘CRESS’ - LIMITED EDITION CRESS GREEN TAPE + FREE PACKET OF CRESS!

The brand new single from the best Japanese girl-band that has a Racoon as a drummer! YES, its POST/POP fave, NO CARS! This is the third release we have done for NO CARS and wont be the last. They are just the best live band in london, and this single is the best translation of that energy onto a rectangle possible.

In other exciting news, I also directed the music video… and WHAT A VIDEO! The premise is “what would happen if NO CARS starred in a Japanese Karaoke video in the 1980s, but then a spaceship landed and an alien Raccoon tried to steal their CRESS, but then they developed psycho-kinetic powers from eating too much cress, and fought the Raccoon to the death?” This is the sexy result.

This cassette comes in a delightfully green shell, the real colour of the cress found in the forest of Japan + you will get a REAL packet of Cress with it! Yes, you too can now grow your own cress, in the comfort of your own home OR office! You can watch your cress grow while listening to No Cars serenade you with their song ‘CRESS’.

If you can make it to london tonight (September 4th), NO CARS are playing a free gig at the South Bank Centre and if you go, not only can you buy the tape, but you also get to see me! Also HETTIE will be there too so you can high-five her and then go buy her EP!

Please note: If you listen to the song so much, you actually do get “hooked on my cress”, please do not blame POST/POP. Cress consumption should not be taken lightly and may lead to Salad abuse.

POST/POP & SOUL LABELS present: LO-FI ODYSSEYS VOL 1 // Nigerian Beat Tape

ALL PROFITS GO TO NIGERIAN CHILDRENS CHARITIES (As chosen by Lo-Fi Odysseys).

The UK’s LO-FI ODYSSEYS bring us the first beat tape in the ‘Palm Wine Beats’ collection. The best Nigerian Music, interwoven with snippets of Nigerian pop culture, this collaboration between POST/POP and SOUL LABELS shows that you CAN make an authentic African music tape on Western labels.

Daniel Oduntan of Lo-Fi Odysseys has compiled an important work of Nigerian history that embodies his childhood, growing up surrounded by the music of his family’s culture on tape and vinyl. Beat tapes are classic streams of consciousness, always unpredictable and in this case, also educational. You will find the true Nigerian greats, mixed in with some surprising and welcome additions, making a truly unique African beat tape for the 21st century.

we made sure the artwork mirrored Nigerian tapes from the 70s/80s.

If you are sick of so-called “African” tapes that were compiled by white guys from New York appropriating African music and taking all the credit, then Palm Wine Beats Vol 1 will be a breath of fresh air.

ALL PROFITS GO TO NIGERIAN CHILDRENS CHARITIES (As chosen by Lo-Fi Odysseys).

Spread the word and collect the first tape in the Palm Wine Beats series.

DAPHNE & CELESTE // YOU AND I ALONE - 24.7.2015

Jed, have you heard the new Daphne & Celeste song? You’d love it!” said Dave Cronen, manager of ASH/Johnny Marr. I hadn’t at the time, but went home that night and watched the video. “Woah! Max Tundra produced this? Woah! Daphne & Celeste can really sing! Woah, there’s a Twin Peaks reference? Woah! its all about cassette tapes?” Yes Dave, I LOVE IT! So then I set about speaking to Mr. Tundra about releasing the cassette and this is it below!

San Cisco // Gracetown - Ltd Edition Cassette drops July 6th!

 

EDIT: (The band’s lot of tapes were sold out in a couple of hours today, so these are the only ones left on the planet! BUY NOW)

I’ve had some really good luck with discovering Australian bands. First up was the incomparably awesome PEPA KNIGHT, and since then, I have been on the lookout for another group of beautiful misfits from the furthest place away I can think of. Step forward San Cisco and the gloriously indie-pop ‘Gracetown’ album. Man, these guys know exactly what a chorus is, and make sure we don’t forget it. Incredibly radio-friendly Vampire Weekend-esque pop with bigger hooks than Candyman working part-time at a fishing shop; San Cisco are like a tonic to my tired ears. I’ve also just realised that I am totally projecting this band as a slightly older version of PUGWALL 🙂 “Morning to Midnight…. cha cha cha”
