Paralanguage – the exquisite new album from Will Samson – is out now!Buy / Download / Stream ‘Paralanguage’ here Praise for Paralanguage: “A beautiful, hushed and contemplative record, the falsetto reminding you of Bon Iver, the intricacy and tenderness recalling kindred spirits such as Nils Frahm and Sufjan Stevens.” Sunday Times “On ‘Beyond The Dust’ his accompaniment shifts into tenebrous Blue Nile realms, its beat so minimal every piano, violin and synth note counts, while on ‘The Human Mosaic’ he leaves a reflecting pool enveloped in an Eno–esque haze… A succinct session of lucid dreaming.” Classic Pop – 4 stars **** “Floating melodies and gently skittering beats… There’s a trippy, otherworldly quality to Sansom’s programming and his ethereal, yearning falsetto.” Uncut – 7/10 “A delicate, persuasive balance between ambience and formal song structures… Minimal keyboard patterns are infilled with pattering, glitchy beats… Choir–like wash, pedal steel and double bass bring further colour.” MOJOWill has also announced a series of live dates for 2020, including a new show in Paris in April.

Froth‘s tour with DIIV ends tomorrow in Sonoma before a headline show in Los Angeles on 18 December!Ahead of the tour, Froth shared a new version of their previous single “77”, remixed by Dublin duo, Mount Alaska.Listen to ’77’ (Mount Alaska remix) here
On this remix, Mount Alaska (who recently released their debut album, Wave Atlas: Season One on 251 Records) bring their customary analogue warmth, deep bass and bubbling synth arpeggios to Froth’s track, transporting the original even further into the gorgeous electronica world.
Froth‘s tour with DIIV ends tomorrow, with the band heading home to LA for a holiday season show on Dec 18. Full dates are below.

In 2016 Patrick Doyle (Veronica Falls, The Royal We, Boys Forever…) relocated from London to LA, midway through writing his new album under the name Basic Plumbing.On moving to LA he continued working on the songs for his next record – emailing them to Helen Skinner (who toured as a member of the Boys Forever three-piece live band, and now plays in Barry) who added a bass line to the songs and sent them back to Patrick. They continued to finish writing the record via email and in February 2017 Helen joined Patrick in LA to record ‘Keeping Up Appearances’.Tragically, Patrick passed away shortly after the release of ‘As You Disappear’. Helen and Patrick’s family have been keen to realise Patrick’s plan for the album release and it will now get a full release with profits from sales going to charities chosen by Patrick’s family – LA’s LGBT Centre and CALM.’Keeping Up Appearances’ will be available on CD, LP and download on 24th January. Pre order hereThere will also be a limited number of pre-order bundles via Bandcamp which include a reprint of Patrick’s photography book MAX which completely sold out on its previous print run and was obtained by The Whitney Museum Of Art for their collection – a testament to Patrick’s talents as a photographer as well as a musician.Listen to new song, ‘Constant Attention’Watch the video for ‘As You Disappear’
