Erica Nockalls – Gentlemen Recordings https://www.gentlemenrecordings.com Independent record label from Rotterdam Wed, 18 Aug 2021 16:23:15 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.gentlemenrecordings.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/cropped-logo-Gentlemen-diap-32x32.png Erica Nockalls – Gentlemen Recordings https://www.gentlemenrecordings.com 32 32 Erica Nockalls – Dark Music From A Warm Place (digital / cd) https://www.gentlemenrecordings.com/product/erica-nockalls-dark-music-from-a-warm-place/ Wed, 18 Aug 2021 15:08:34 +0000 https://www.gentlemenrecordings.com/?post_type=product&p=7649 Imminent Room and EN2 showcased her baby-sweet but barbed worldview, then new set Dark Music From A Warm Place takes that genre-neutral template and drowns it in honey-flavoured acid. Her songwriting is removed from the pop norm: Emotionally derelict, blunt and melodically unsparing. This album is a tale of release and re-appropriation of oneself, a call of empowerment. Gritty drum machines, generous synths, cutting tones mixed with unusual violins and glass-sharp vocals: ‘Pesante’ melodies meet modern anthems. Erica Nockalls’ conservatoire training as a violinist and vocalist are evident, but not defining. She chooses danger and experimentation with her violin, making it a tool of creation, rather than accompaniment. Blunt. Honest. Generous. There’s a lid boiling on her British reserve.
“Elegant, experimental and atmospheric. Lynchian soundtrack at times. Excellent weirdy noises, wondrous violin and great production. A cracker LP.” - The Shend
  Songs: Mouth Full Of Something - The King Of Want - I Know (feat. Jah Wobble) - Eiffel's Eye - The Dying Snow - House of Erica - Build Me A Ship - Pearls And A Grin - Making Friends With An Alien  
  • Digital download: €9,99
  • CD: €12,99
