Romanthony: The Ministry Of Love
“Love is a four letter word, perhaps the most cruial one of all
It seems whenever it’s heard it causes one to rise or fall
Even knowledge of love makes you realize you know nothing
You see there’s no control of the need to be a part of something
A part of history so diverse and complex
Turning failure to glory from one generation to the next”
R.I.P. Roman. You will be missed.
Millions know the name Romanthony because of Daft Punk, but he was really so much more. Remembering the artist and remembering the man: Throughout an exhausting night, searching for confirmation of a fact I didn’t want to be true (but secretly feared it was), I kept coming across those songs. The Wall of YouTube Videos that creates itself upon the death of any artist of note is the ritual of our time, like ship burials and Irish wakes.
R.I.P. Romanthony. Listen and unsterstand!

Looks like Daughn Gibson just got singed to SupPop, which means VINYL. I’ve been wondering about this guy since his EP.
Hear the EP here:

Its like Johny Cash, Ian Curtis, Ariel Pink, Shuggie Otis mixed up in a bowl with some Ketamine and sunshine. Not that I’d know what that’s like.

It’s a rough, pitchy, and obviously labored performance. But it’s honest and refreshing. I’m definitely listening.

Different Marks - Lavender Lady feat. Paul Randolph

Artist:: Different Marks
Title: Untitled
Label: Pets Recordings
Release date: 3rd June 2013
Cat. No.: PETSCD002
Different Marks is a collaborative project between Martin Dawson (King Roc, Two Armadillo), Grzegorz Demiañczuk and Voitek Tarañczuk (Catz N’ Dogz).
Meeting through their overlapping, close-knit circle of friends, the three connected instantly. From their first studio session it was clear there was a strong working, as well as personal, chemistry; a relationship that was deeply rooted in music.
Drawing upon each members’ idiosyncratic approach to writing, and through their shared work ethic of making the flow of each track paramount, the three worked fluidly together, with no boundaries, and no over-thinking.
On 12th November last year, Martin unexpectedly passed away. The album was completed shortly before his tragic death.
Speaking about the project in his own intimate account, Voitek remembers how, “suddenly, this whole world, an unexplored territory, had opened up to us; one that seemed, on one hand, ultimately familiar, and on the other, totally new…Martin had started to play guitar again, Greg was digging through his old record collection looking for new inspiration, and all those years I spent in choir started to come in very useful. Working on this project became addictive, and for those few months we put everything else on hold (even giving up writing our solo albums and EPs) because being in this small studio, together, meant the world to us.”
The album itself features a sample of some of the most talented singers and songwriters around who manage to perfectly compliment the productions, including Ben Westbeech, Paul Randolph, James Yuill, and Cari Golden amongst others.
Each individual sense, experience, idea and influence has been invested into this project by everyone involved, and each of those elements, in turn, has been fused together by the music, the love and the three of them, together.
