Well, Push On Through has been out a week now, and people seem to be really into it.  Wasn’t sure about releasing a 6 minute single, but people get it, and that’s gratifying.  YouTube keep taking views off the counter though…it’s been at over 1000 views, but dropped 60 or so the other day, and a some more this morning.  Bizarre! 

As of RIGHT NOW, if you’re a subscriber, you can get the amazing ECHO THE GRINCH remix of Push On Through totally FREE in the ‘Extra Content (Subscribers Only)’ section.  There are so many cool mixes and extras lined up for subscribers, including a couple by Berlin-based GMP MSK, and CHRONOLUX – both aliases of Dave Ellesmere of DISCHARGE fame, an acclaimed electronic music producer of many years now. 

Check out the James Domestic Instagram and/or Facebook for the upcoming James Domestic’s Influences Advent Calendar…starts 1st December, naturally.

Have a great weekend!

OK, the official release date of Push on Through is the 19th, but that’s only a few hours away, so here we go! 

Check out the video:

Spotify is here 

I’d be well chuffed if you were to subscribe to the Kibou Records YouTube channel (makes you eligible to win cool stuff now and again too). If you’re a Spotify user, adding any of my tracks to a playlist, and following me on there would be incredibly useful. It’s all food for the algorithms apparently, and helps the music get heard. So, y’know, do me a favour! 😉 

Finally, if you haven’t subscribed to THIS site yet, you should probably go for the hattrick and do that too – it makes you eligible for exclusive subscriber-only content.  There’s already a piano-heavy remix of Faze Out in the ‘Extra Content – Subscribers Only’ area, by the lunatic Iggy Chicken.  There will be a new subscriber-only track available next week, but I’m saying no more about that just yet. 

So, support DIY music, share this stuff around, and have a nice fuckin’ day!

Y’know I said there’d be bonus content for subscribers?  Well, good as my word, the IGGY CHICKEN remix of Faze Out is now available for free download in Extra Content (Subscribers Only) section of the website…get over there and check it out! 

Iggy’s done a grand job, pulling out the one-note piano (à la THE STOOGES’ I Wanna Be Your Dog), and stripping the bass down to a hypnotic pulse, like a garage-punk version of NEU! (or something), snatches of phased (out!!! See what I did there?!?!) guitar and organ interject, then leave the party almost as quickly as they arrived, with you wondering if they’ll return, or have had a better offer elsewhere. Sit back and let it do its repetitive thing. 

Over the course of the next year (and onwards) there will be more bonus stuff available for subscribers-only.  These will include new tracks, and a host of other remixes from the likes of GMP MSK and CHRONOLUX – both aliases of someone that played on one of the most influential underground records of all time; I’m going to leave you guessing on that though!!! – amongst others. 

So if you haven't subscribed yet, what are you waiting for?!?!?!

Anyway, more coffee required…

OK, it's been a while in the making, but the Carrion Repeating album is currently at the pressing plant, and the first of four (very different) singles from it, Faze Out, is released on 15th October (tomorrow, as I write this).

It'll be available to stream on Spotify, bandcamp and all those other places that I can't recall after a hard day with my nose against the grindstone. You can hear a short preview of Faze Out on this site and if you sign up to the mailing list you can download the full track for FREE. Signing up also means that you'll get some exclusive content and music (once I've set that part of the site up...it'll be soon!), a heads up on the album pre-order date and other releases, and the chance to win some cool shit from time to time.  It'll be worth it; trust me. 

The video just went live too; you can watch that here (and maybe subscribe to the Kibou Records channel while you're there!). Total budget: the price of a beer for the alligator.  Actually I'd got him some Gatorade, but he was a bit salty about that.  Bit of a faux pas on my part to be fair.

Anyway, to summarise, here are some things you might like to do (and I'd be happy if you did):

1. Watch video

2. Sign up to the mailing list on this site - you won't be spammed to hell every day; I promise (I'm way too busy for that!) and it'll be worth your while

3. If you're a Spotify user maybe go and stream Faze Out over there from tomorrow and add it to a playlist.  Apparently it's good for the algorithms or whatever and helps get things heard. I dunno; I only started using it recently.

4. Subscribe to the Kibou Records YouTube channel (there are occasional competitions as well as plans for some quality content so well worth it!)

Cheers

James
