in other news we’re sad to announce the passing of our distribution chief ‘otto’. like many cats otto enjoyed a deep affinity with all things cardboard.. if anyone out there knows any cats up to the task of meeting this demanding, noisy role please email  scratchyrecords@yahoo.com

 

been a busy couple of weeks for releases.. katy carr’s new 1940s inspired album ‘coquette’ (deluce recordings) is going down well with the reviewers.. 4 out of 5 in Q, mojo, daily express.. see the myspace for dates over the next couple of weeks. not content with just releasing an album she’s also made a moving documentary about kazimierz piechowski, former auschwitz escapee and inspirer of her song ‘the kommander’s car’- screenings at the imperial war museum early december.

+ what do mark ronson, everett true, and the gossip all have in common ? correct, they’re all fans of surrealist artpop ladies wet dog whose new record ‘frauhaus’ is out 30th november on angular.

 

looking ahead, the next scratchstock night will be 15th february 2010 at the 12 bar club – among the performers will be matthew neel and friends whose debut album ‘new maps of hell’ is released on scratchy the same day.
