tracklisting + more info

The third solo album from bearded angel Scott Matthew, is for anyone who loves the weighted, emotion-charged torch songs of Antony & The Johnsons, or indeed the work of Matthew's friend and fellow Groovescooter artist, Inga Liljestrom. You may know Scott Matthew haunting voice from the riotously poignant queer flick Shortbus (director John Cameron-Mitchell's follow up to Hedwig & The Angry Inch) or from Scott's previous two solo LPs, or indeed from Scott's previous band Elva Snow with ex-Morrissey man Spencer Cobrin. But really, whether you're familiar with Aussie-born New Yorker Scott Matthew or not, this new album is sure to bewitch. Drawing comparisons to everyone from Elvis Costello to Bacharach, Scott Walker and Council-era Paul Weller to the aforementioned Antony, Scott Matthew's music ministers straight to the heart. Whether in stripped-back mode with his trustee ukulele, or skipping through Technicolor sets amongst lush strings and beautifully sung harmonies, Scott sings with such conviction and invests such emotion in his tunes and vocal performances, that it's like leafing through a diary with a close friend.

We're very excited to welcome Scott Matthew to the Groovescooter family and release his beautiful 3rd album in gorgeous digipak, complete with colour booklet of lyrics and photos.

The first Australian single from Scott Matthew's third solo album is The Wonder Of Falling In Love. Bittersweet pop, with touches of Style Council-era Paul Weller, Elvis Costello and flourishes of Bacharach-like strings and '60s swing. If you fell in love with Scott Matthew's voice and poignant songwriting in the audacious sex-comedy-cum-post-9/11-drama film Shortbus, then for The Wonder Of Falling In Love imagine the bearded angel re-cast on to the set of a Technicolor romance.

INGA'S BRAND NEW 2011 STUDIO LP

Hold on to your hair, Inga's grown wings, has a new band of French players and together they're leaping off cliffs on fire! For more information, tracklisting, reviews etc.

'Thistle' is one of those tender, magical, intimate and gooseflesh-inducing songs from Inga's quiver of heart-breaking arrows which features her inimitable voice backed only by Stu Hunter's mournful piano accordion (Inga is afterall living in Paris at the moment, the city of squeeze boxes). Apart from original album faves like Coma, Marmalade and The Drowning Song, bonus tracks include the Ali Omar remix of Marmalade, Mothloop's remix of Inga's unreleased Awkward Like A Boy tune, and the dark creep of You Shine. Included here is the original version of You Shine, recorded with William Frasier formerly of Baggsmen/The Hive and never before released. There's also an exclusive download for those who purchase the disc of a quirky new tune called Weku Weky (don't ask!). 19 tracks in all!

Now repressed in digi-pak and available in limited numbers, is amphbian's first album, In Pursuit Of Plankton. Before 2003's 2-CD collection Adventures In Whistle Viallage was released via Groovescooter, this magical Plankton debut originally turned us on to the trio of minimal moodsters known as amphibian. A serene and sometimes surreal journey through an underwater world whereÊgentle electronics merge with superb acoustics - double bass, piano/Wurlitzer and a drum kit, bow and sway with manipulated field recordings. New York's Steam called it "simple and beautiful", while Tokyo's Metropolis said it had "such depth and intelligence... one might draw comparisons with DJ Shadow in his more ethereal moments..." Sydney's Revolver (now Brag) voted it one of their top 10 releases for 2001, while Time Off said: "Red Snapper inspired jazz sounds... one of the finest albums to pass our way in a long time." Chilled? Definitely. Haunting? Yes. Like The Necks? Maybe in the hands of a strict editor. Somewhere between ambient and jazz-groove, it's the melodies of both the bass and piano, and the hypnotic ambiences amphibian set up, that give these arrangements such resonance.

The 2nd album from Sydney's own 'fun boy two', OLLO features the single The Campaign For Real Bread (see below for 7") and is released in Australia on Groovescooter (followed by 12 Apostles around the globe). The If If is like an hermetic iPod; mixing pop, dance, electro and downbeat home listening. With both a unique outsider's view of the world and a questioning plea from within, the LP's personal core is brimming with crafty ideas, smart programming, wit, insight, lovingly played instruments and evocative lyrics. Guests include Rok Poshtya (The Herd), Inga Liljestrom, FourPlay cellist Peter Hollo, UK trumpeter Roger Mills and Tooth's Kevin Purdy. Mixed with ex-UK producer Mike Burnham (Heliocentrics/Mowax/Output etc), it augments the fragmented vocal samples of Ollo's debut LP Sleeper with a more fully-crafted 'song' approach, as songwriter Alex Crowfoot's vocals imbue a greater portion of the swirling mix. Also includes Ollo's reworking of Fun Boy 3's The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylum).

The score to an imagined future, is now ready for download.
Don Meers' 4th release on Groovescooter Records is called 'Splint' and finds Don building a sonic bridge between the frenetic electro-jazz of his debut EP '4.30am', and the lush cinematics of his much lauded longplayer 'Train Noise'. It's also Meers' most personal audio journal to date. Split into two disctinct 'sides', 'Splint' tails Don's earlier outings like a spy, craftily moving through numerous moods, whilst always staying one step ahead of the listener. As always, those carefully controlled atmospherics are bound together by strong melodic threads, fusing his European leanings with '40s jazz, back-alley electro-blues, warm acoustics, razor-sharp electronics and a legion of samples. From deep space ambiences, guitarscape instrumentals and noirish roadmovie tales, through to sample heavy bop-beat-electro-jazz and a surprisingly sad, stripped back closer. Including collaborations with Martin Kennedy's All India Radio, Inga Liljeström and Sloth, plus a fresh vocal direction, 'Splint' finds this cinematic maestro once again taking the listener on an imaginative journey.

Debut album for Brisbane based digital-jazz artist Ens [pron. 'enz']. With recent tracks on 'Evolutionary Vibes 5' and Tim Ritchie's 'Sound Quality 2', plus various remixes doing the rounds and bending ears - producer Ben Fairweather follows up with a longplayer that both dazzles and lulls; dark and brooding, uplifting and hypnotic. From the manic rhythm rush of 'All In The Mood' (where drummer Billy Cobham meets his cyber double) to the mesmerising beauty of surf-daybreak soundtrack 'Tranquilaise', Ens' dexterous programming is evident, as is his unique sense of melodic juxtaposition. Featuring interstate guests Sloth [ex-Meta Bass 'n' Breath] and Andrew Day [Nightswimmer/Sound Movement] plus vocalists Inga Liljeström [Gerling/Friendly/Baggsmen] and Georgie Zuzak, Ens has recontextualised his long distance collaborators, manipulating their offerings in an exclusively digital domain. The resulting output is an album of moodswings that somehow manages to also sound organic and fluid. Somewhere between the freeform hypnosis of perpetually unwinding jazz and the brooding intent of downbeat electronics. As velvet double bass strings slap against chrome plated electronics and brushed rhythms, 'Warp and Weft' glistens from beginning to end with hints of both the Ninja and Warp labels. Read more here.

Sorry Re-fashioned Volume 1 has now SOLD OUT see above for info on Volumes 2 and 3 which are still available

Five electro tracks from sample freak Don Meers. Think bionic-beats, future-jazz + scattered-breaks. Imagine Amon Tobin, Cinematic Orchestra and the 6 Million Dollar Man's Steve Austin jamming it in the back of a taxi on their way to the Parisian Kaftan Club. Through a taxi window, a blur of early morning clubbers, aimless prowlers and street cleaners rushes past the lazy eyed passengers. Inside the pressurised cabin, the night replays itself in slo-mo to a soundtrack that does home delivery on a cushion of beats. Time: 4.30am. Place: Any metropolis. Driver: Don Meers.

SORRY 4.30AM has SOLD OUT on CD - however you can DOWNLOAD hi-quality MP3s of the tracks RIGHT HERE
