New Yeah!

As the new "yeah!" passes into being, I have to post an obligatory statement. 

Last year, I released albums from Joey Herzfeld, Tom Conway and the inimitable Shane O'Linski's Haemogoblin. I also started up the podcast again and produced 12 episodes, each one featuring a session from a different Norwich band or artist, find it at PMVpodcast.co.uk or wherever people get podcasts. And I played and helped run dozens of gigs. Despite all that, it felt like a very lazy year. Sure, I have a job and a family but I also spent an inordinate amount of time playing Crash Team Racing, watching TV and reading comic books. And I wouldn't change a thing, I tell ya, mwah ha ha ha. Moving into '25, I am continuing to try and respond dynamically to the world around me, not keep running on tracks. I have talked before about how the label evolves over the years, it was created with firm ideals and practices in answer to the consequences of the Digital Revolution. 8 years later, while the principles remain the same, the culture and technological context continues to change. I feel the label needs to rethink how it operates in order to continue being cutting edge. Nonetheless, all that shite aside, we will continue to release, produce and support art which inspires, lifts and improves the world around it. 

Continue to support us by following us. One thing we're looking into is our relationship with social media but we're still there for now. And purchase our products. Again, we're looking into various other music platforms but currently purchasing a download direct from our store is still the best way to support us and our artists and it's an active and meaningful way to listen to music. Thanks and wishing you the best of yeahs.

As 2020 falls away like a leaf from a tree, 2021 begins to bud in its place. And what better way to bookend it than with another one of our irregular Off with their Records podcasts.

I talk about how musicians can operate during the pandemic, a brief explanation of mechanical copyright, I play a Yellowhammers track and hit you with some news about what we've been up to in 2020 and what we'll be getting up to in 2021.

Enjoy.

Our activities have slowed temporarily during lockdown 2. Technically, as a business we can still operate the same as we could during the 3-tier system but we're showing a bit of extra respect by deferring elements of our work to limit our contact with others as much as possible during lockdown. It is quite annoying that the tier system only came into effect on October 14th and then lockdown 2 was enforced less than 2 weeks later just as we were getting to grips with it but we press on in the noblest way we can.

The documentary we are shooting in conjunction with Ideal Surreal is into the editing stage. Still a little bit of shooting to do once we've identified the gaps but it's progressing nicely. Follow us on Instagram to receive more regular updates.

The Joey Herzfeld album is progressing slowly, we will drop another single soon. Listen to the current single 'Inside' to get a taste of this magnificent album.

Yellowhammers are back in the studio as soon as possible recording their new album. Recording began at the excellent 'The Crunch' recording studio last month. Fans will be excited to know we're working with Magoo drummer, Stacy Gow, to bring another diverse, experimental art-rock opus. Check out the first mini-album, side A streaming for free exclusively on our website, full album available on CD, download and cassette from our store.

Off with their Records are thrilled to be aiding a 3rd party on a major archival project to record basic demos of the entire monumental back catalogue of our hallowed musical guru Mr. Shane Olinki. This archive of nearly 1000 songs will be available for all to listen to for free and even though the project is only 3% of the way through his absolute genius is already reaffirmed in my heart as it is so often. If you're not acquainted with Shane you can find his albums with Bavarien Rocket Groop and The Vicars of Stiffkey to buy and stream on our website. He also has a pretty good Bandcamp page and an incredibly produced album out on Tontena Music.

Our mountain of music continues to grow, I have a lot of exciting stuff waiting but not relying on my attention, I wish I had more time to get to it, or some help doing it. Any producers or anybody looking to get into the business of a record label I'm always open to job applications, contact me about anything on ideolog@hotmail.co.uk

On Monday 17th August, Joey Herzfeld will be releasing the first single from his upcoming album. Featuring a gigantic cast of instruments, 'Inside' is a resplendent song about solitude that's become only more poignant in the face of current events. The single will be available to stream on Facebook, YouTube, Soundcloud and here on our website. (But keep a look out for the next episode of the Off with their Records podcast to hear an exclusive first play before it hits the net.)

The new album from Joey Herzfeld is out soon...
