Pem today releases her new EP, cloud work, out today on Fascination Street Records. The EP is produced by the acclaimed Ali Chant (Sorry, Katy J Pearson, Portishead) and to celebrate its release, Pem will headline The Lexington in London next week, 14th June. Pem has been garnering recognition for her silencing live performances, receiving long listings for 2023's Glastonbury Emerging Talent and Green Man Rising competitions and securing support slots with The Last Dinner Party, The New Eves and Mary in the Junkyard. There has been an abundance of recent coverage from The Line Of Best Fit, Clash, So Young Magazine, DIY, NME, Rolling Stone UK, Emily Pilbeam on BBC 6Music, Radio X's John Kennedy and many more. There has also been huge support via Spotify playlists, including New Music Friday UK, plus the cover of Melomania and Fresh Finds Folk.

cloud work is a collection of five songs that Pem wrote during an intensely challenging chapter in her life. Full of references to water, sky, flight, memory, and birds, these are the metaphors and symbols that helped her work through the grief of losing her father last year. She says, “the process of creating ‘cloud work’ enabled me to find beauty, meaning and comfort in a very difficult time."

Pem is the outpouring of Bristol-based, multi-disciplinary artist and songwriter Emily Perry. Her songs blend unfiltered storytelling with swooping melodies, transporting listeners into a world of vulnerable introspection. This powerful intimacy was first unveiled with her 2022 debut EP, songs about hands, which was written during her intensive psychotherapy training and explores themes of memory, connection and disassociation.

Nur bei HHV: die Platte mit unterschriebem Plakat.

Unangenehm nervöse Zeiten erfordern angenehm nervöse Musik - neonfarbene Hymnen gegen das Dauergrau, unbeschwerte Statements gegen die tägliche Dosis Abfuck. Paula Carolina hat im Laufe der letzten Monate etliche solcher Hymnen geschrieben - ein ganzes Album voll. Es trägt den griffigen Titel "extra" und konserviert den selbstgeschaffenen Kosmos, in dem Paula Carolina seit 2021 kreativ aufgeblüht und in der Zwischenzeit vom Supportact zur Stilikone avanciert ist. Dieser Kosmos ist längst ein Safe Space geworden - für einen beachtlich breitaufgestellten Kreis an Menschen mit Herz am linken Fleck und unerschöpflich positiver Energie. Zwischen Indie-Pop, Nndw und Future-Punk, Moshpit und Gruppen-Kuscheln, Dorfanekdoten und Großstadtkamellen gelingt es Paula wieder und wieder, zwischen statt über den Dingen zu stehen. Ihre Kunst ist meinungsstark, aber nie spaßbefreit; ist rotzig, aber nie dogmatisch oder gar parolenhaft; ist Mainstream, ohne je in Richtung Mainstream geschielt zu haben; ist laut, ohne zu poltern. Paula-Carolina-Musik lebt von Beobachtungsgabe und Begeisterungsfähigkeit, von assoziativem Gedanken-Ping-Pong, schrillen Ohrwurm-Momenten und erfrischenden Frechheiten.

Hi, I’m Oscar. I wanted to be a pro surfer but that didn’t work out so I make music instead.
I record, produce and mix everything by myself. I also did merch for the first time ever, I think you should buy it now cause it will worth much more if I become famous.
Thanks for helping me buy a fancy ass studio and leave my parent’s apartment.
They would definitely thank you, and I would too.

To celebrate the band's restart, "RYZEEN," one of the most popular of all their songs, is now available for the first time as a 7-inch donut vinyl record! In addition to the original version, a special recording of the version used as BGM for "Super Locomotive" on the reissued game console "Mega Drive Mini 2" released by Sega Corporation in 2022 will be included on the B-side!

In March 2024, the legendary techno unit Oriental Magnetic Yellow, a group of game music composers at Namco at the time, re-released six albums to celebrate their 30th anniversary. Commemorating the band's restart, the 2-in-1 6th album "nancy Boys / Nervous", which leads from "nancy Boys", a rapid approach to J-pop, to "Nervous", the last commemorative album before the band's hiatus, is available as a limited Clear Vinyl edition!

"Isayahh Wuddha," an artist acclaimed for his unique dreamy funk sound crafted using cassette tape MTR, was none other than a personal project by musician Taku Hayashi residing in Kyoto. There is hardly anyone who would feel uneasy about his second album under the psychedelic project "ohhki", another activity of him, being released by P-vine. His music style, which shows no intention of conforming to mainstream music, is a strong expression filled with solid originality.

The songs recorded with analog equipment are treated with lo-fi sound production, successfully creating a unique pop world that delicately combines elements of psychedelia, dub, funk, and disco. While experiencing a sensation of floating gently in space, the undulations, akin to the brushstrokes of an impressionist painting layered with reverberations and echoes, are drawn onto the canvas of the sky along with the resonance of electric guitars, old keyboards resonating with cheap tones, and enchanting voices, accompanied by the repetitive beats of a drum machine. Beginning with an ode to birds, invoking surprises and casting small spells, after being struck by intense rain between night and dawn like a flowing stream, this world is embraced, lingering within me, entranced by the blues, and ending with "Well... just like a banana ripening... you're amusing." Simply there is light and the wind blows. It exists as literally alternative music, vividly presenting another world, rich in color.
