MOLLY NILSSON: Zenith

We first met Molly Nilsson many moons ago when she was a travelling singer gigging in London, selling her then-new album Follow The Light. Since then it’s been difficult to express exactly how much her songs have come to mean to us. We’ve been honoured to work with her and her own label Dark Skies Association in releasing many other releases but we feel her new album ZENITH presents a sea change and contains her best songs to date. The new video for 1995 is here, it’s our song of the year.
You can also PREORDER Zenith on ltd white vinyl/CD here:

Release date is November 6th as we have experienced a production delay. You can pick up digital copies of Zenith on iTunes but we believe the CD and vinyl are going to be truly special. In the meantime, 1995 is the pop song of the year:

ROSE McDOWALL’s Cut With The Cake Knife

We are truly excited to present the next stage in our ongoing reissue project with cult singer Rose McDowall. Upon leaving Stawberry Switchblade, Rose embarked on an exciting if tumultuous adventure, recording with friends in Coil, Current 93, Psychic TV and Felt, while enlisting members of The Sugarcubes and Into A Circle for her own debut solo recordings. The Sunflower Demos, later re-named Cut With The Cake Knife, document her head-space at the time, as well as point to what the future was to bring. As such they are the most direct pop songs she ever wrote, still smitten with the bright/melancholic dichotomy she had so perfected with her partner Jill Bryson in Strawberry Switchblade.

Check out this montage of rare stills from the period, all featured on the new edition of Cut With The Cake Knife.

You can now pre-order Rose McDowall’s Cut With The Cake Knife from us on CD and vinyl HERE.

The pressing is: 500 x Black Vinyl, 500 x Clear/Black Vinyl and limited CD. You can preorder the CD and Black vinyl from us HERE, as well as our limited edition T-shirts. We are out of the Clear/Black vinyl allocation but you can pre-order from your favourite record store. We recommend MONORAIL MUSIC / ROUGH TRADE / NORMAN Our partners Sacred Bones are pressing the album in America and we recommend picking the LP up from them if you are a U.S. resident. Both versions feature remastering by Brian Pyle (Ensemble Economique), new unearthed photos from the period and extensive new liner notes from Rose.

SALLY PHOTO SMALLER

 

SALLY DIGE has announced her long-awaited debut album, HARD TO PLEASE. A seductive, pop masterpiece, the long-player consolidates the last 3 years of activity into a cohesive statement. An elusive artist self-portrayed as both a powerful body-mover and vulnerable balladeer, we’ve been obsessed with Hard To Please for months and are extremely excited to present it.

PREORDER HERE ON CD and LP.

Check out the title track below portrayed in a Lynch-Freudian dream-turned-nightmare.

Welcome: PAPER DOLLHOUSE

PDH Heath border

 

We’ve been in touch with Paper Dollhouse for a while now, ever since some records were exchanged, and were flattened by the stark, enveloping beauty of their second LP “Aeonflower.” We were flattered that the duo wanted to release it through Night School, so it’s with a lot of excitement we present “Helios” from Aeonflower.

Aeonflower will be released on March 2nd. The vinyl will be limited to 500 and you can pre-order it HERE.

As the northern hemisphere’s summer turns to overcast skies and its population driven underground, James Donadio’s Prostitutes provides the driving, brain-blasting soundtrack. Released on September 8th via Night School, “Nouveauree” is the acclaimed Ohio producer’s toughest set to date of palette-cleansing techno tracks…

Available as Limited to 500, Recycled Manilla board sleeve with Download and Sticker.

PREORDER AT THE NIGHT SCHOOL SHOP

Ever since a chance meeting at Les Urbaines festival in Lausanne, Switzerland, we’ve maintained close communications with James and are incredibly proud to present Nouveauree. One of the most open-minded and free-thinking musicians working in the field, Prostitutes brings a perverted sense of funk and a punk attitude to the chopping table. Records will ship beginning of September.
