“Will Z. is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, first known for his work with his band Cosmic Trip Machine, then The Book of AM ‘cult’ project. A solo artist he has explored several genres, from dark occult rock and hard rock to acid-folk and baroque pop, incorporating Indian music and experimental elements.”

Hailing from Austin, Texas – Everything Fades is Kevin Flack, drums (formerly in Distance Runner), Daniel Owens, vocals and guitar (New Roman Times, Register, Marcy) and Marcus Piña, vocals and bass (Roky Erickson, Love Battery, The Astronaut Suit, Wild Seeds).

Joe Volk is perhaps best known as the former singer and lyricist with progressive, post-rock outfit, Crippled Black Phoenix – initial signings with the Invada Record Label.

That was in a previous life and was just one string, to his multifaceted bow.

As the Glitterhouse Records website attests, “Volk is also a composer, having written scores for independent European and British short films. He has had his material used by the BBC, HBO and had commissions from National Geographic. Volk contributed music to the Academy Award nominated documentary on Bristol street artist Banksy, entitled “Exit Through The Gift Shop”.”

‘Take me Beyond’ is the first single from Josefin Öhrn + The Liberation‘s debut album, ‘Horse Dance’ and was released as a digital single on 30 October.

In this instance, I had been aware of the Rocket Recordings announcement some weeks back and being secure in the comfortable knowledge of Rocket’s enviable pedigree, had fully intended to return to the enticingly descriptive introduction.
