PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Welcome to our August Newsletter which includes our latest release from Nick Power and Mark McKowski 'Throat' Available on Vinyl and CD.

We had this idea to make something completely outside of what we’d ever made before. Something maybe nightmarish and uncomfortable, with imperfections.”

Throat consists of two artists on sabbatical from their day jobs – Nick Power from The Coral, and McKowski as one half of The Lost Brothers, film score composer (Quantum Cowboys) screen writer (The Spin) and touring musician (Jolie Holland, Howe Gelb, M. Ward). Recorded in the period of 2021 and 2024 between Omagh, Northern Ireland and Merseyside, Throat is a journey through McKowski and Power’s shared imagination.

It’s the sense of outsiderness that links Throat’s disparate parts: folk-horror, VHS video nasties, poetry, the natural world, hauntology, true crime, John Laurie films, teenage acid trips, twisted road songs. Throat is a way of giving a platform to this secret world, while almost moonlighting as a run-of-the-mill ‘album’. Soon after the title track was complete, Mark began recording and sending more music to Power, who’d write words while driving around Merseyside at night.
