BEPOP 002EP
|
February Montaine's "Mount Nod" is a delicate, shimmering slice of DIY pop music. The lo-fi charm sits on that knife-edge between happy and sad, its repeated "I'm on the bottom line but I'm doing fine" changing meaning as the song goes on, plotting the course of Mr. Montaine's sensitivity. What starts out small gently unfolds into an understated English confidence by the end. On the B side, Peaking Lights dive into the mysterious undercurrents beneath the surface of Montaine's worldview. Like all good remixes it sets the artist in a parallel universe, this one a utopian disco slowscape, complete with bubbling clouds and dayglow fountains. Be With Records thank Sam Potter of '00s band Late of the Pier for sharing the story of February Montaine back in the spring of 2017. When the label first heard "Mount Nod" their jaws dropped. Be With immediately thought of all the people that would love it. Of friends and family, far and wide. Of fans of timeless, soulful pop music everywhere. Championed by Trevor Jackson and Efficient Space, it's perfect, addictive pop which generously gifts the listener eternal goosebumps. Three years later, Be With Records bring this out as the second release in our Be Pop series of 12"s. White vinyl; picture sleeve; limited edition of 500.

BEPOP 001EP
|
2021 repress. London-based musician Lou Hayter puts her sumptuous funk-lite hit "Cherry On Top" on vinyl. The perfect inaugural release on Be Pop, Be With Records' side-label. In 2005, Lou Hayter was the keyboardist in Mercury nominated electro-pop outfit New Young Pony Club and she is currently one half of electronic duo Tomorrow's World, a project with Air's Jean-Benoît Dunckel. "Cherry On Top" originally appeared digitally in late October 2018. Riding an infectious sample of Marc Jordan's yacht-rock classic "Generalities", it's a glistening, sun-soaked daydream-y jam. Here it's issued with instrumental and a cappella versions. Full picture sleeve; white vinyl.
