REDJETSON: Debut Album Out NOW!
Its been a few months coming but the debut album from REDJETSON, has been worth the wait, well if you believe our ears and the words of the press!
The Fly have run a glorious 4/5 review in this month's issue and they interviewed the band in Dublin (whilst out there playing with old friends Bloc Party and drinking plenty o’ Guinness) last week for a 'Ones to Watch' feature. Kerrang! have said nice things too like that it is 'A masterpiece of invention' and we can’t ask for much nicer things to be said than that! If you do a little Google there're lots of lovely 'zines describing the album as beautiful in various (blushingly) gushing ways.
You can hear samples of it online HERE
Catch the band live at the following shows:
February
2nd London Camden Underworld Supporting AEREOGRAMME

They didn't have it in Guildford HMV which was a bit annoying, they even had the Hood album last week. Maybe I'll go search for it in London tomorrow on my way to Idlewild...
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
ive been all over the west end today...but cant get it for shit, i got told in HMV (near charing cross road) that they had three copies but they couldnt find them! on the positive side he said he'd been asked by about 15 people already...so they're gonna order some

HMV in Doncaster has one copy!!!

i wouldn't count on the aereogramme gig, they've already cancelled a lot of dates as Iain is ill.

the Club AC30 date is the 8th March, not the 9th march.

the music is very beautiful, but im sorry, i just dont like his vocals
Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
u could argue, its a nice contrast, but im still not convinced
Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
i thought they were playing with ymss in norwich sometime? march or april or something?
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
I really like his vocals. Its nice to hear a band like Redjetson who can actually sing well over post-rock sounds... Divorce off the new album is an amazing track, his voice works really well on it.
Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
Tis rather wonderful, methinks. And truly terrifying when 'A Reptile, Cold Blood' kicks in.
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
Just added some more dates - just about to html them
Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
Also, for those more mp3 inclined you can get it from all good online stores. Our choice is bignoisemusic.com who support Oxfam's Make Trade Fair campaign.
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
hmmm,
listening to them more, maybe they're not too bad
perhaps you get used to it, an aquired taste?
maybe his voice is like coffee, wine and olives.

Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
For some people Clive's voice does take a bit of getting used to - mostly because it's the kinda music which if you're familar with listening to that kinda thang you dont expect lyrics.
It's like go faster stripes on an aeroplane, you wouldn't expect 'em to be there but it makes perfect sense.

I GOT 1 ...YAY!!! i got the last copy in HMV oxford circus... i saw copies in fopp as well..."a stream flows on out of here"....
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
I'm going to order mine online. Play.com are selling it for £9.99 (although it does say currently not available when you look at it. Hmmmm).
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
Also, DiS, where's the review? Pull your finger out, they are on your own record label.
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
It'd be totally wrong to review a record on our own label tho. Wouldn't it?
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
yep
that's why nme, kerrang and rocksound do it
it is evil
and unusually sycophantic

Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
Also, I'd say Drowned in Sound's opinion of the album is made pretty clear by the simple fact that they've released it...
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
Oh yes, I see your point Sean. Might as well get band members to review their own records. Or you could review it and slag it off just to prove you are 'keeping it real'.
Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
well just get some other flunky to review it and post that...ive released farts with bigger umph!
Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
it looks like DiS are more interested in Bloc Party and keeping up with the hype than looking after their own...sorry im just a big fan of the redjetson.
Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
sycophantic? you could just try being a bit more enthusiastic...as if other labels dont use their websites to promote their bands!
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
we are all very enthusiastic
but that is our policy
in place so people cannot complain that we only big up our bands
do you understand?
instead we get morons like you moaning instead
and this isn't the label website either, by the way

oh yeah and while your at it just abuse the very (limited) fan base you have...way to go dick slash!
no wonder NME (who are twats) dont have time for you or your bands...

Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
Sorry I think you misunderstood Raz (DiS website contributor) sense of humour here.
We have bigged up Redjetson quite a bit on the site, but there's a certain point where it stops sounding like praise and starts seeming like DiS is a monopolistic facade for promoting its own wares. I do only sign bands because I absolutely adore them and you have to if you're going to risk money, reputation and time in something you believe in.
Not quite sure where the last bit about the NME came from. They were and still are rather supportive of the Kaiser Chiefs, and they called the thisGIRL album one of the rock records of the year in an 8/10 review.
We do apologise for the distribution 'problems' it's just another example of what we're up against. If it was maths it'd be something like: numbers of releases a week x corporate cash x store buyers lack of taking risks on new artistes = indies/new small artistes suffering again.

the Audiojunkies review is funny as fuck...loved the drawing for ...the sky is breaking!
ok sean thats cool...i get the math...so to speak and i did get a copy in the end.
NME...i was just repeating something i heard (off the record) i'll shut up and say no more...you are very right they do indeed champion the Kaiser chiefs...it wouldn't hurt them to mention redjetson once in a while (save the ICA thing) instead of endless adolation of "pete "im a smack head, get me out of this taxi...again" Doherty, think i'll stick one in Kate Moss"

boring they are...the lead singer needs some singing lessons - reckon if they got a girl on vocals would suit the melodies a lot better. also, seem really uncharismatic - it's not 'always about the music man'
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
you're a very joyful lady aintcha?
there're quite a few people who've said similar things and given them more time and been proven wrong. and many many more, especially folks who've reviewed the record, who completely and utterly disagree. as do we, else we wouldn't be investing our time into releasing the record.
but your vote of no-confidence is greatfully accepted.

Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
Aw but i love his voice. So dark and droney. Makes me think of Interpol.

Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
My two-penny worth:
I really like this album, although it took me an age to finally hear it. What it lacks - the production's a little tinny in my opinion, and some of the songs aren't totally realised - it makes up for with bucket-, nay, skip-loads of potential. Some of the songs on the record drip with emotion and soul, so much moreso than anything produced by, say, Mogwai recently (who Redjetson were unfairly compared to in one magazine review).
I can't get enough of them live - I think it's there that they truly shine. Never was this more apparent than when they played the ICA show with YMSS. I consider YMSS to be THE FINEST band in this country, bar none, and Redjetson held their own superbly. Any initial doubts I had - and Clive's voice was one of them - I am now over. Sure, the album's not the classic that they are clearly capable of producing in the future (and they will, mark my words), but it is SO good for a debut. SO, SO, SOOOOO good. I may just put it on right now y'know...
The only REAL gripe: better production next time. That's not intended as a slur on John Hannon, who has worked with some ace bands in the past and produced some wonderful records, but I think Redjetson need someone who'll bring warmth to the recording; a little more texture. That said, Hannon's trumpet-playing is really effective, and the cello work on the latter tracks... superb.
Okay, sorry. Didn't intend to write that much.
I'll get my coat...

Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
Not meaning to be defensive about the record of the product but do bare in mind the size of the budget we/they had to make this. Think there's a lot of magic in the fact it wasn't recorded in anywhere posh or grand, but that some of it was recorded in the No Recording studio kitchen.
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
In the kitchen?
That's cool.
The only thing missing is the whistle from a stove-top kettle.

all things said and done...it wouldn't hurt Redjetson or DiS to shift a few more copies...is it stupid amounts of money to get it on the new release rack? or a small ad in the music press? I can see a cult fan base beginning to form.
Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
I've seen ads for it in the press.
Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
How do ladies and gentlemen!!
I got the album today, wooooooaaaahhh!! Great stuff, the at times "tinny" production is great, I don't see Redjetson to be a perfectly polished rock act!! I was worried that the album wouldn't bring out the part of Redjetson that you see live but thankfully it has!! The sounds are magical, "Wednesdays Rivals" what a song!!!!
Great stuff lads will be in my cd player for ages
Hope to see you soon,
Stuart (The Exploits)

Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
hey it's cool. let's all make love not war. and i do like that you recorded in a kitchen. that's cool. and some of your band members are hot!!! anyway, i am gonna go and catch a plane now.
Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
Well, I am really liking their debut album. I was not totally convinced by Clives' vocals, the first time I saw Redjetson at Truck, last year. But, I have seen the band perform many times since then, and have realised just how well the vocals and instrumentals meld now. They just seem to get better every time I see them. The ICA Youthmovie/ The Edmund Fitzgerald/ Redjetson sets confirmed how great they can be (all the bands were superb)
I have no criticisms to make of their album. I find I am playing it lots, and enjoying it more with each play. They seem to have really developed their unique sound and produced some killer songs on it. I hope it brings them even more fans than they allready have, they deserve it :)

Re: Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Recordings
Haha. Milkshake. There's a reason that's funny in relation to Mr Jarrold....
I don't understand people who say Clive 'can't sing'. He quite blatantly can. He's got a distinctive style that's not to everyone's taste- that I can understand- but to say he "can't sing" is trollope.

Redjetson debut LP out NOW on Drowned in Sound Rec
Bought this album yesterday, never actually heard the band, just the hype, and I am all for buying stuff purely on the reviews (if more people did that with my album then we may have sold some)
Anyway, so far this album hasnt set my world alight as the reviews said it would, but I am gonna give it a really good listen over this week and then reply back to this board.
The lead singers voice seems to grate, and I am not sure whether he is actually singing in tune, but I may turn out to actually love it..... lets wait and see
