Revolutionary Music has just released Organica Lounge, a compilation album of chillout and electronic lounge music. The LP isn’t just another chillout compilation though: every song incorporates analog instruments and/or vocals alongside the synths and drumloops. This organic influence gives the album a little more depth than you might normally hear in a chillout release.
“Forever and a Day” is the new song from Copywrite. It’s produced by RJD2, and features Middle Distance Runner.
More info from the press release:
In the wake of so much loss, sometimes you can find enlightenment. Somewhere between frustration and remorse, Copywrite found the words to pen “Forever and A Day”. Reflecting on the recent loss of his longtime friend and collaborator, Camu Tao, the words flowed from the page to the microphone. With a song this special, Copywrite turned to his other longtime collaborator RJD2, who like Camu and Copywrite was also a founding member of the group MHz. The haunting production matches the mood of the somber lyrics of Copywrite. In order to complete the song, Middle Distance Runner, an Indie Rock Band, was brought in to add layers and sing the hook. In the end, this track speaks to anyone who has experienced loss, regret and a longing for a loved one who has passed. This track is part of Copywrite’s upcoming album The Life and Times of Peter Nelson due out in October of 2010 on Man Bites Dog Records.

Dres of Black Sheep has brought together a sort of Native Tongues reunion, featuring Dave (Trugoy) of De La Soul, Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, and Mike Gee of The Jungle Brothers on the song “Birds Of A Feather.” The track is the latest single to come from his new LP From The Black Pool Of Genius, scheduled for release on June 29th.
Despite the name of their EP, The Stow is not just another band. Band-members Haydn Corrodus (vocals), Shiama Young (vocals), Will Brown (Drums), Matt Money (Guitar), and Dave Payne (Bass) make high-energy pop music that embraces Hip Hop, Jazz, and Ska influences. The Stow stands out with songs that are upbeat, melodic, soulful, and fun. The point of pop music, after all, is to make listeners smile and dance. And this group manages to succeed at that without sacrificing musicianship.
Check out The Stow’s EP Just Another Band, which is available for free download.
