Atlum Schema

In 2005, Atlum Schema started life as a series of home recordings. It was a creative and unexpected off shoot project from Andy Mort, which like a dough-ball rolling through flour has been getting bigger and gathering purpose ever since. 2009 saw the release of the second full-length album; a self-titled 11 track LP that took three years to complete as Andy battled priorities, house-moves and a frequent lack of funds.

The Late Greats

Sandwiched between Brighton & Hastings, the seaside town of Eastbourne is the unlikely outpost and home to future alt-rock heroes, The Late Greats. In equal parts intelligent, intense, chaotic and fragile, the four piece have quietly bided their time over the last 12 months, writing their debut album (in between epic bouts of table tennis) thus honing the sound of The Late Greats. Life Without Balloons is a record indebted to the band’s love of lo-fi US indie/alt-rock (Sonic Youth, Pixies, Pavement) but stamped with a truly provincial, English delivery glittering with melodic gold.
