Whiter Rabbits is the final missing link in the Neotropic album chain. The companion remix piece to White Rabbits, it was originally released on Squid’s Eye in 2008 and the long out-of-print original CD now sells for silly money – if you can find it.

Well, party time, friends – it’s now available again, in both its original format and a brand new set of 2017 Remasters, which have been lovingly remastered for 2017 by SC Mastering‘s Bob Macciochi (who did the same for DJ Shadow’s 20th anniversary reissue of ‘Endtroducing’ last year).

Today we are excited to bring you the rather rare Muddy Water EP, the next in our series of reissues for Neotropic.

It’s here.

Concluding a year in which his Gordon Raphael-mixed single ‘If You Feel Emotional‘ racked up 14.5K Soundcloud plays (thanks to an Indie Shuffle premiere), Benbo has dropped this instrumental Christmas Curiosity.

Run The Numbers is a suite of explorations in unusual time signatures by the ‘Late Junction’ featured composer Tris Taylor.

To celebrate, we are going public with our PinkSync beta. 

Today we are excited and humbled to bring you the reissue of this classic album.

“White Rabbits showcases an artist at the top of her form” (Pitchfork)

For this first post-Ninja Tune LP, Riz Maslen travelled to Minneapolis to work with some of its best underground indie musicians.

Blending electronica and live instrumentation into a highly evocative, cinematic mix, White Rabbits is both a great ensemble piece and an extraordinary, intimately personal statement.

Today we bring you magnificent remixes of this magnificent record by Rob Macfarlane (MTA Records), Riley Lake (Astral Plane), and Benbo (Cooking Vinyl).

Pow.

According to this, “Fresh Finds is a distillation of the hippest users on Spotify… these are the artists that are going to break out soon because they’re being listened to by these people.”

Today we rejoice that we are able to bring you this excellent single from Milwaukee scramblepop four-piece The Fatty Acids.

Ta-da!

According to them, “you better believe that the ‘Acids are going to pack a visual punch as awesome, exciting, and unusual as the song itself.”

Get ye over to IMPOSE Magazine’s world premiere now. And scroll down a bit. There is a Josh Evert interview too.

Third in a series of PLM Soundtracks releases by Alexandra Benedict & Tris Taylor, the ‘Sleeping Lions’ score uses piano, violin, Wurlitzer, balloon bumps, celeste and music box, along with a soundscape including wind, dog barks and a bicycle.

‘Sleeping Lions’ was composed without reference to picture. Instead, director Oliver Crowther briefed Benedict & Taylor with a list of estimated timings, and references to Tarkovsky and classic French cinema.

Here’s some phone video from our last party.

Otti And The Voices played a great solo opening set spanning tracks from each of his three albums so far – this is ‘Who Are The Wishful’ from Bubbytone II.

HIGH on the FUMES of Steve Lamacq giving ‘Airsick’ its BBC 6Music premiere on Wednesday – here it is, the first ever UK label release by The Fatty Acids.

These guys have worked their way up to near-legendary status in their home town and just played the support slot for Flaming Lips at Summerfest.

Beyond excited to be doing the first ever release on a UK label by the greatest band we ever heard from Milwaukee, The Fatty Acids.

These guys have worked their way up to near-legendary status in their home town and just played the support slot for Flaming Lips at Summerfest (ginormous US music festival).

We continue with Matt Coldrick aka Pan Electric‘s back catalogue reissues, this one in collaboration with the mighty Ishq – 69 minutes 41 seconds of stately, cosmic, psychedelic ambient music.

The album evolved from conversations between Matt, Ishq and Hattie Wells, and began with Ishq sending Matt a series of textural sonic elements that he then developed into full arrangements.

Here’s what Matt originally wrote about it in 2005:

First ever PLM podcast alert!

Buy now at iTunes or Amazon – or get direct from BBE.  Otti and band have dates in support:

We are beyond excited (dribble) to announce that Riz Maslen (iTunes/Amazon/Spotify) has signed a publishing deal with Pink Lizard Music.

We think she is, frankly, a bit modest, considering her extraordinary twenty-year career so far.

We are happy to announce TWO DEALS. Ohhh yeahhhh.

15 on beautiful blue marbled vinyl, 15 on CD, brought em back on the plane from Milwaukee. First come, first served…

We are delighted to announce that Otti Albietz (iTunes/Amazon/Spotify) has agreed to let Pink Lizard Music publish his marvellous works so far.

Fresh from appearances at the End of the Road and Big Green Cardigan festivals, it feels like Otti’s star is in the ascendancy – which would totally be deserved.

The Fatty Acids (iTunes/Amazon/Spotify) head out on a US tour this August. They are friggin great! Friends in the States, check these dates.

We are extremely excited to announce that The Fatty Acids (iTunes/Amazon/Spotify)have signed publishing for their masterpiece, Boléro, to Pink Lizard Music.

Mastered by Emily Lazar at The Lodge and recorded & mixed in-house by the band, it’s a wild, beautiful, Flaming-Lips-esque rush through the landscape of their home state Wisconsin.

Out today exclusively on iTunes through PLM Soundtracks [PLMS2].  Amazon, Spotify, Bandcamp, PLM Store [ft bonus track]: 10 July.

Scripted by BAFTA-winner Daniel Fajemisin-Duncan from a story by Oscar nominee Ari Folman (Waltz with Bashir) and award-winning director Nour Wazzi, Habibti went on to sweep awards and citations at film festivals in Africa, Europe, and both North and South America.

We are very happy to announce that Otti Albietz and BBE are allowing Pink Lizard Music to represent his albums Bubbytone II & And The Voices for sync.

Otti’s music has been growing on us for some time and we think he is truly a unique independent voice, which is entirely what we are about at PLM Towers.

Out today on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Bandcamp and the PLM Store [ft bonus track] through PLM Soundtracks [PLMS1].
