"Meditations is two long-form episodic ambient pieces performed with a reduced palette of kalimba, treated guitar, wavetable & analogue synths and hardware effects; recorded in London with Andy Ramsay of Stereolab. Conceived as a companion to Ultramarine's acclaimed seventh album Signals Into Space (2019), Meditations was originally issued by Les Disques du Crépuscule as a limited edition CD and is now available for the first time on vinyl via Real Soon."

RSOON 025EP
|
Real Soon brings together a trio of heavyweight practitioners in the fine art of house music to remix tracks from Ultramarine's critically-acclaimed album This Time Last Year (RSOON 024CD/LP). The Kai Alce and Hercules & Love Affair mixes share a similar approach; raw, jacking and dancefloor-friendly. Kai gives "Eye Contact" a Chicago-flavored jazz twist with a bass line reminiscent of Glenn Underground and fleeting, high-register piano. On "Passwords," Hercules & Ha-Ze Factory layer rhythm and vocal samples from the original track and punch a hole in them with brutal sawtooth basses and bouncing syndrums. Juju & Jordash reduce the downtempo "Decoy Point" to a warm, pulsing mantra.

RSOON 024CD
|
This is the sixth album by UK electronic duo Ultramarine (Ian Cooper & Paul Hammond), and their first full-length release in 15 years. Featuring all-new material and recorded in the band's isolated studio on the edge of the Essex marshes, the album ebbs and flows in mood like the nearby Blackwater estuary. Working with a palette of vintage drum machines, analog synths, textural samples, acoustic recordings, electric bass and heavily-treated guitar, the songs were born out of captured live studio performances. Cooper & Hammond then rewired their initial sketches through a series of hands-on, lo-fi effects chains, blurring the edges between acoustic and electronic elements. The result is an organic, playful feel; leaving the music room to breathe and carrying distinct echoes of the band's previous work.

Real Soon are proud to present the first new material in 13 years by London-based electronic veterans Ultramarine. "Find A Way" rolls out dreamy, chopped and layered vocals over a wash of soft, treated guitar, deep synth stabs and swinging 808 percussion. The B-side version kicks off with a monotonous, metallic-sounding Moog synth loop and builds into a full live 808 workout punctuated by arpeggiated electric bass, vocal snippets and dub effects.
