Down Baby Down Gemma Ray SKU: BRSA02 Barcode: 5051083068048 16.00 £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bronzerat Released Date: 4th March 2013 Buying Format: 1LP Includes CD Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Hot on the heels of her praised album ‘Island Fire’, Gemma Ray’s next project, ‘Down Baby Down’, is an altogether different prospect. ‘Island Fire’ was praised for its grand modus operandi, where she took her sideways blues and reverberating pop-noir to dizzying new sonic and orchestral heights. It included a collaboration with Sparks, won her an appearance on Top Of The Pops, and a new occasional backing band in the shape of the 65 member-strong Filmorchester Babelsberg. Gemma had already recorded ‘Down Baby Down’ by the time ‘Island Fire’ was released, but its more sinister and haunting bent is probably less fitting for a summertime unveiling. Recorded in a few days at Candy Bomber (ensconced in the former CIA headquarters wing of Berlin’s intimidating Tempelhof Airport), with a handful of musicians, namely Thomas Wydler (of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds) on drums, Rory More on organ, and Wilhelm Stegmeier on bass, it is 30 minutes of largely instrumental compositions coated with choral enhancement and ominous yet beautiful vocal motifs. Gemma herself takes care of all vocal, guitar, piano, clavioline, glockenspiel, melodica and dulcimer duties. For want of a better description, Gemma calls them ‘fantasy soundtracks’, as the music escapes the trappings or the expectations of the pop or rock song. “It’s probably my most honest and satisfyingly free work to date”, she says. She makes no secret of her love of composers such as Komeda (of Roman Polanski soundtracks fame), Morricone, John Barry, or Jack Nitzsche (see Tarantino’s ‘Death Proof’), and this collection of compositions reveals Gemma’s more darkly musical imaginings. They unfold on their own pictorial journey through deserts, mountains and ghettos, lithely sinking through jazznoir, gothic folk, messed-up rock ‘n’ roll, and out into deathly space. From the ethereal landscape of ‘The Low Rising’ to the desolate horror of ‘No Star’, ‘Down Baby Down’ is all at once soothing, fragile, sweeping, intense, twisted, sexual, and bad ass. Released on vinyl (with CD included) and download, it is the second release on Bronze Rat’s Seriés Aphonos, a new music library which focuses on left-of-centre musical meanderings, soundtracks, and strange treasures from hidden corners.
