Wud Records: recommended albums at Bandcamp

Posted by Wudmaster on 09/11/13

Wud Records have changed their three recommended albums at Bandcamp. If you would like us to recommend your album at Bandcamp, please contact us by emailing info@wudrecords.co.uk and if we like it we’ll add you to our rotation list. We aim to change our recommendations every six weeks or so, if we remember and the Wud Records office technology doesn’t break!

These are our new recommended albums at Bandcamp:
http://greatpagans.bandcamp.com/album/great-pagans-ep
Dreamy, evocative, whimsical, beautiful harmonies and lakes of guitar, fueled by the quiet power of the underdog. You will want them to win! Utterly enchanting post-Smiths indie pop rock grunge.

http://sleepingbrothersrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-independent-hand
Lo-fi heartfelt self-deprecating musical comedy from The Throats on Sleeping Brothers Records. A collage of emotions crafted of leftfield sounds add to the wonderful guitar/voice arrangements.

http://wearehighlow.bandcamp.com/album/raygun-ep
Hi-energy big sound post-shoegaze indie rock from Southend, England. Guitar wall assaults your senses and great use of vocal harmonies. Hints of Foo Fighters and The Who. Came to us via Twitter.

These are our previous recommended albums at Bandcamp:

Fabulous quirky lo-fi rock from the talented entertaining Pink Lights on Sleeping Brothers Records. We love what Sleeping Brothers are all about and their awesome cassette-salvaged archive repertoire.

http://hungersleeprecords.bandcamp.com/album/propeller-album
This album is a beautiful, cerebral, multi-genre collection of lovingly produced songs. It has a ‘big’ sound and was created with careful attention to detail. These songs will stick inside your head.

Charming and quirky, the wonderful original songs on this album are performed with ease by Karl. His voice and guitar recordings contain elements of legendary folk Johns – Rembourn, Martyn and James.

Dark Company: Alien Heat beta mixes

Posted by Wudmaster on 08/11/13

All of the beta mixes for the forthcoming Alien Heat album by Dark Company have now been uploaded to the Wud Records site. The most recent additions to the Alien Heat playlist are Alpha Omega, Jigsaw, Crash and The Joker.

If you would like to listen to the Alien Heat album as it stands at present, please click here and then press play on the player in the new tab that opens.

All of the Alien Heat songs still need much work to finish them off. Alpha mixes are only ballpark approximations of songs, whereas beta mixes have been worked on some more with most parts recorded to varying degrees of finalisation, and they may even contain several elements that will appear in the final fully mastered mix.

It is said that it takes 95% of the time to do the first 95% of the work on a song, and then another 95% of the time to finish the last 5%. These songs are now into the final 95%. We hope you enjoy listening to these Dark Company songs.

Pok: Fooog’z Bloooz

Posted by Wudmaster on 06/11/13

Fooog’z Bloooz is a new track that has been added to the Anthology album by Pok. These riffs and chords were first heard around the music rooms of The King’s School, Ottery St Mary in the summer of 1982 and have been heard subsequently elsewhere in many other locations.

Fooog’z Bloooz is a short instrumental piece that never had any words. Pok performs the rhythm on an acoustic and improvises a lead guitar part on The Bastard, while Maxx and Sven handle the bass and drums.
