Searchlight feat. Manny [2023] - Long Time [Fallen Tree 1Hundred]

More excellent music from the ever consistent Fallen Tree 1Hundred label who also have Natalie Duncan and The Degrees on their roster.

It's the latest single from Irish duo Searchlight (Cian McCann and Dom Purcell), "Long Time" feat. Manny. It's their first since "Journey" feat. [ K S R ] from Jul '22.  In the interim they released an eponymous debut album in Sep '22 (which included all four singles to that point) that seems to have slipped through the net.

 

MANNY (Manny Ademolu) featured on a single by Rudi Creswick, "Peace Of Mind", in Sep '22 and is part of Milton Keynes based duo Manny & The Coloured Sky.

Natalie Duncan [2023] - Are You Getting Enough [Fallen Tree1Hundred]

We always look forward to receiving new music from Natalie Duncan (and the Fallen Tree 1Hundred label for that matter) as she/they always delivers. 

Her new offering is "Are You Getting Enough" (which I think we have just answered) along with The Degrees Remix (vocal and instrumental).

The Degrees, of course, are label mates Charlie Bierman and Isha Campbell, who add some contemporary beats to the main mix. 

Natalie last graced these pages with her last single "Silver Gun" in Feb.

Natalie Duncan [2023] - Silver Gun [Fallen Tree 1Hundred #FT1H020]

The new single from London singer-songwriter-pianist, Natalie Duncan, is "Silver Gun" due on 24 Feb '23. It comes bundled with a Lenzman Remix and Lenzman Instrumental remixed by Amsterdam-based Drum & Bass producer, Lenzman (Teije van Vliet) with his trademark soulful touch and classic jungle groove.

Of the song Natalie says: "This song started life as a dark-sounding synth motif with a quick drum loop I made. With drummer Richard Spaven then adding his own signature drum style to the final take, it resulted in an even weirder, cooler, rhythmic sound. Adding Alan Mian’s dirty Synth bass parts and layering the other synths to thicken the sonics, I feel like I’m really living my Radiohead fantasy here! The lyrics are empowering, and I wanted the vocal to be really close-mic’d for an intimate sound…" 

Nottingham-raised, London-based, Natalie Duncan first came to the attention of those in the know in 2009, aged 18, with the release of her debut EP "Natalie Alexis Duncan". However, it was her involvement in the BBC TV three part series "Goldie's Band By Royal Appointment" in 2011, the brainchild of drum and bass pioneer Goldie, that she came to wider attention. She was signed to Decca Records and produced her first, critically acclaimed, album "Devil in Me", in 2012 and later that year appeared on BBC TV show "Later with Jools Holland" which led to her touring as support for the band Muse.

Duncan's second album "Free" in the summer of 2020 (the album and live performance were posted in Dec 2021) launched Goldie’s Fallen Tree 1Hundred label. In turn Natalie launched the album with a live, intimate recording at Ronnie Scott's and followed that up with a seminal show at London's Jazz Café.

Natalie has joined legendary Jazz-funk band Incognito as a vocalist for their 2022 tour. If you've 'slept' on this artist then check out her previous releases here as we've posted all her Fallen Tree 1Hundred material.

The Degrees [2023] - The Day Out Of Time [FallenTree1 Hundred #FT1HLP004]

Bristol-based soul/trip-hop duo The ('Two') Degrees are Charlie Bierman and Isha Campbell, who debuted in Nov 2021 with "All Said A Done", followed by "Need You" (Mar 2022), "Nothing Else" (Jun 2022) and "No Escape" (Oct 2020), now release their debut album "The Day Out Of Time" today (10 Feb '23) for Goldie's Bristol-based Fallen Tree 1Hundred label. It includes all four singles in addition to another eight new songs.

The album was recorded at Rockfield Studios back in 2020 and delivers 12 tracks, several  with a subtle vintage 90s acid jazz feel and what the label describes as "soul and trip-hop with a distinct Bristolian edge" with two tracks in particular ("Blinded" and "No Escape") being "ghostly-reminiscent of a Massive Attack classic, or string-driven Portishead epic". They also say that "'The Day Out Of Time' aims to provide an authentic ‘artist album listening experience that, if we’re honest, is generally gone in today’s playlist-driven streaming world".

The track that jumps out as the 'most likely' candidate for a the next single is "Cold Feet".

They released their first music video for the last single "No Escape" in Nov (included below).

The duo also release dance material under the name Degrees of Freedom on Fallen Tree 1Hundred 1HX imprint releasing "Time Won't Wait" on (30 Sep 2022).
