CHERISHED THINGS
05.09.2025
  • 1: Mein Fräulein
  • 2: These New Communications
  • 3: Tolerant Nation
  • 4: Beryl
  • 5: A Perishing Of Cherished Things
  • 6: Property-Owning Democracy
  • 7: Master Narrative
  • 8: Pretty Straight Guy
  • 9: The Contented Commuter
  • 10: Brb

Barbara, das sind die Brüder Henry und John Tydeman aus Brighton, inspiriert von den Popgrößen der 1970er, The Kinks, ABBA, ELO, aber auch von charmanten, exzentrischen Werken britischer Schriftsteller wie George Orwell und Harold Pinter. Ihre Songs erzählen Geschichten von seltsamen Charakteren, die vom Leben hin- und hergerissen sind. Trotz der unvorhersehbaren Texte steckt in Barbaras Musik immer ein Hauch von Spaß, Uncoolem und – am wichtigsten – Tanz. Also, kommt zum Tanzen… und bleibt für die Geschichten. Oder auch andersrum. Barbara war mit The Divine Comedy, Haircut 100 und zuletzt Paul Weller auf Tour und erhält Probs von ihnen, den Medien, und dem legendären Produzenten Steve Lillywhite (Peter Gabriel, U2, Simple Minds, XTC, Ultravox).

- "Barbara ist eine der besten Gruppen überhaupt. Live sind sie großartig und ihre Songs auch. Clever und melodisch. Die Babs sind fabelhaft!" - Paul Weller

- "Sie sind genau mein Ding ... wirklich straffes Songwriting, sehr poptastisch!" - Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy)

- "Diese Band ist mit nichts zu vergleichen, was ich je gehört habe, und ich liebe sie!" - Steve Lillywhite

- "Barbara ist wunderbar. Ich liebe ihre Songs und ihren Humor. Wir brauchen mehr Barbara in unserem Leben!" - Chris Difford (Squeeze)

- "Haircut One Hundred liebt Barbara. Sie sind so mutig wie unsere Blechbläser! Bacharach mit Schlägern und Bällen. Wir lieben sie!" - Nick Heyward (Haircut 100)

- "Barbara ist einer der einfallsreichsten und originellsten Musik-Acts, die ich je gesehen habe Eselsjahre! Sie machen in der britischen Musikszene bereits viel Lärm, und mit ihrer wunderbaren und originellen Herangehensweise an Text und Melodie, kombiniert mit einem mitreißenden und fröhlichen Vortragsstil, ist ihr zukünftiger Erfolg in einem unvermeidlich verrückten Musikgeschäft sicher. Geht hin und seht sie euch an!" - Dean Friedman

- "Barbara ist eine wahnsinnig talentierte Band mit einem angeborenen Gespür für Melodie und Arrangement ... Der ehrgeizige Umfang und die mitreißende Unmittelbarkeit ihres Sounds lassen ihr junges Alter nicht erahnen." - Phill Jupitus (BBC)

- "So ein fröhlicher, eingängiger und faszinierender Song." John Kennedy (Radio X) über "Property-Owning Democracy"

- "Ein absoluter Killersong ... eine Pop-Symphonie im Taschenformat!" Gary Crowley (BBC Radio) über "Property-Owning Democracy"

Hollie Rogers - Criminal Heart

Criminal Heart is not just another album from another Singer-Songwriter
According to Beth Nielsen-Chapman, "This is what killer songwriting sounds like"
Legendary guitarist Robben Ford describes it as "Absolutely beautiful."And Chris
Difford reckons it's the work of a "Fantastic and special singer-songwriter."This is
a 'coming of age' album from Hollie Rogers, who remains, by choice, completely
independent. Known already for the candid, confessional nature of her songs and
for live performances that make audiences laugh and cry, Hollie refers to the
album, which has been 5 years in the making, as her "baby." She says, "I'm not
having a human one. I'm proud to have nurtured this one instead; it's got a great
personality and there's absolutely no poop."
The album is the most impressive showcase to date of Hollie's songwriting
prowess, with each song framing insight into a cohesive story; one that reveals
itself more and more with each and every line of lyric. Love, lust and selfdiscovery are some of the key themes tightly bound together throughout, as an
added maturity reveals itself in the record's strong melodies, satisfying harmonic
structures, and hooky choruses. (Try listening to 'Sinner' or 'Love' without them
becoming earworms.)
Criminal Heart was produced at Masterlink Studios, Surrey - with a cast list of A
Grade players in the shape of Masterlink's House Band. Their CV's run like a
'who's who of music' - think Elton John to Herbie Hancock - and, much to Hollie's
particular delight… The Spice Girls. She admits, "Much as I may profess my
influences to be exclusively the likes of Joan Armatrading and Joni Mitchell, I
can't deny there's probably a smidge of Spicefluence hidden in there somewhere.
Girl Power!"
But spice aside; this is no 90s pop record. Indeed, US guitar legend Robben Ford
and UK chart- topper Jamie Lawson make guest appearances, as does a track
produced by 4- time Grammy- Nominated James McMillan. All serving to add
some particularly tasteful icing to a not- inconsiderable cake. (Or more likely, a
pasty - since Hollie is from Penzance, Cornwall. It's no coincidence that her name
rhymes with a famous Pirate Ship.)

KATHRYN WILLIAMS - NIGHT DRIVES LP

Singer, songwriter, novelist, and painter Kathryn Williams is proud to announce her new album 'Night Drives'. The collectionexploresa more filmic sound, with a larger ensemble of instrumentation, particular emphasis on the strings and production from Ed Harcourt. Journeying from leftfield contemporary pop to soft acoustics, Kathryn Williams uses her latest LP to explore a variety of fresh ideasdriven, in part, by a host of collaborators. Kirsty Logan, Oystein Greni, Romeo Stodart, Matt Deighton, Simon Edwards, YvetteWilliams, Neill Maccoll, Andy Bruce, Ida Wenoe, Joel Sarakula, Emily Barker and John Alder all have credits on various tracks across 'Night Drives'. Kathryn explains "I've been releasing music for 24 years now. That fact blows me away, and things have changed so much over those years. The biggest change has been my love of co-writing and writing for other artists. This began when I first went on a writing retreat with Chris Difford forming close friendships and working relationships that are represented here".
