NEW RELEASE: Sea Of Bees

Keep going, don’t stop, and be yourself. Never settle for less. I have finished the record I have been meaning to make. Things are changing for the good and I am happy.” Jules, April 2015

SEA OF BEES – BUILD A BOAT TO THE SUN

Sea of Bees is the musical project of Julie Ann Bee, or Jules as everyone calls her. She sings, writes the songs, and plays lots of musical instruments. She is the kind of singer-songwriter you come across only a few times in a lifetime – special, unusual, leaping out at you like an alien, her character fully-formed, her uniqueness intact.

Sea Of Bees - Build A Boat To The Sun - signed LPBuild A Boat To The Sun is Sea Of Bees third album (following the acclaimed Songs For The Ravens and follow-up Orangefarben) and this time Jules is gathering the good things up and moving to brighter horizons. Musically, she has moved forward too, with more of a full band sound after Jules bought a drum set and spent as much time playing it as she played guitar, much to her neighbour’s dismay.

The album, described as “a little gem” by MOJO (who gave it 4 stars!) has a variety of sounds all united by Jules’ unique positivity and charm. The album, mixed by Jesse Lauter (The Low Anthem), was recorded in Marin County and Sacramento, California so it’s no wonder this is an album full of sunshine!

Head over to our shop to get your album on CD, LP or Download. We have a very limited amount of signed CD and LPs, and a very special, limited edition, exclusive boxset.

THE BOX SET


The boxset contains all formats of the album plus a hand pulled screen print on French brand paper by Laura Maltranga, numbered and signed by Jules and Amber, an exclusive digital EP of unreleased tracks not available elsewhere, and a a special handmade, illustrated lyric book with hand stitched binding revealing the stories behind each track on the album.

Each box also includes an individual, one off photo taken, printed and annotated by Jules – they’re randomly allocated so you may get a picture of Jules, Amber, a pet, some flowers, their favourite view or piece of studio equipment or something else completely different instead!

Here’s Dad and the single, Test Yourself

“Test Yourself is one of those songs that grab you in the first second – you can almost feel the tide swelling under your feet.” Stereogum
“(Test Yourself) is catchy as all get out. Sing-along bits, a catchy chorus, hooks for days, it’s really the total package – this song alone has made this album one of my most anticipated summer albums” If It’s Too Loud

NEW RELEASE: The Pre New

The Pre New

The Pre New are making some of the most original music in this country right now” Record Collector

3 Loop Music are proud to announce the release of The Pre New‘s new album, The Male Eunuch.

Taking their name from a Jeff Koons’ art installation, The Pre New centre around the trio of writers and musicians Jim Fry, Laurence Bray and Stuart Wheldon. Formed in Zone 2 of Central London in 2010, the original intent of the group was to perform at that year’s Glastonbury Festival. Assembled by ex-Earl Brutus members (Fry, Gordon King, Stuart Boreman and Shinya Hayashida) with a shot of new blood from Bray (first generation Milton Keynes) and Wheldon (north of England via Canada), The Pre New first unveiled their unmistakable brand of hi-art lo-fi to an unsuspecting Queen’s Head Stage at a time when other revellers were watching Muse or the Pet Shop Boys.

A lot has happened since then. Their debut album, Music For People Who Hate Themselves was released in 2012 and was followed in 2013 by Music For Homeowners, a collection of remixes of their work by fellow travellers such as Saint Etienne, Public Service Broadcasting and Mogwai. Around this album, founder member Hayashida left the group to live in Sweden and provided an opportunity to re-think and re-shape the group.

Fry, Bray, Wheldon and Boreman moved away from a more traditional rock approach and experimented more with electronics and created The Pre New of today recruiting Vinny Gibson, ’a protest singer from Paisley’, full time for both writing and performing. There are many forces at work: Krautrock, Bowie, West Coast USA Rock, MRI scanners and Mike Leigh; there is no jamming, just computing, things pulling in new apposing directions. The Pre New are unique in the way that they excavate their current surroundings for their work; wherever that may be at any given point.

The Pre New also have a revolving door policy of guests who sit upon their ‘fourth plinth;’ including new boy Jay Davy and times Fry’s old partner in Earl Brutus, Gordon King.

All of this adds to the high-concept magic that surrounds the band. Their third album, The Male Eunuch was launched in May 2015 with a PowerPoint presentation at a central London hotel. The bands own protest ambassador Stu Boreman stated:
“Binary Digital Bankruptcy converts this Sonic Debris into the sound of summer. Off shore becomes on shore as British Summer Time arrives early. Shot thru the Black Hole into the hole in your heart, it’s the colour chart from hell. Foxton’s still burns. Face-sitting is banned. Froch vs Groves. Farrow & Ball. We are at War.”

Using Concorde, British Rail logos, they honour the past while resolutely looking forward. There is no-one else making a noise like this in British Popular Music.

The Male Eunuch is available now on CD, LP, Download, Limited Edition Boxset and PowerPoint.
Music For People Who Hate Themselves is available now on CD and Download
Music For Homeowners is available now on Download

Praise for The Male Eunuch

Variously angry, moving, disturbing and extremely funny – there isn’t really anything else around like it – 4/5 – The Guardian, Album Of The Week

THE PRE NEW dissect the modern world with the precision of a cultural pathologist. Boasting song titles such as ‘100% Beef’, ‘The Mars Bar Within You’ and ‘Middle Class Heavy Metal On Anti-Depressants’, this is a frequently funny yet thoroughly absorbing listen, the laughs emanating from a grim recognition of the world that’s formed them – The Quietus

Super barbed – 4/5 – MOJO

A splendid blast of pop art – with the accent on tunes and outrageous fun – 4/5 – Q magazine

Both World of Twist and Earl Brutus have a classic album to their name, and now, so do The Pre New – 9/10 – The Line Of Best Fit

Ferocious head-melting havoc with an all out assault of unsettling samples, discordant effects and cross-patterned vocal clamour – file under Riotously Uneasy Listening – The Mirror

Their tunes are loaded with insightful lyricism… by dissecting the present the Pre New add currency to our cultural future – we have the Pre New to thank for this tumultuous soundtrack for the end of days – 7/10 – Louder Than War

NEW RELEASE: Lost Girls Long Lost Album Finally Released

Lost Girls - the long lost album

Lost Girls - the long lost album

“I’m so glad these songs at last get to be heard
– ragged and raw, done and undone, whatever,
they were loved and not at all Lost after all.“
Patrick Fitzgerald, 2014

Lost Girls is a collaboration between Patrick Fitzgerald and Heidi Berry. In 1997, Patrick had left Kitchens of Distinction (his band of 10 years) and Heidi had left 4AD for whom she had recorded three albums after appearing on This Mortal Coil’s 1991 album ‘Blood’.

Following a speculative phone call they got together and from 1998 to 1999 they wrote and recorded what would become their self titled long-player. The band initially started off as a duo but soon ended up as a 5 piece band which included Ashley Wood on guitar, Dave Morgan (The Loft, Primal Scream, Rockingbirds) on drums and Kim Smith on bass duties. They released only one single, ‘Needle’s Eye’, but recorded a wealth of material despite their short lifespan and as Record Collector said the album is “an embarrassment of previously unreleased riches”.

We proudly present the recordings on CD, LP and Download with the album as originally envisaged plus all the other material recorded along the way. From folk-tinged laments and power pop to ethereal yearning and manic paranoid rock via the usual Patrick obscenities (even Heidi swore a lot on the enigmatic ‘Folk Fuck’) with hints of the Buckleys, R.E.M. and even The Residents, this is a wildly varied, harmony-drenched work of dark joy.

Lost Girls is available on double CD, limited edition 180g vinyl LP (including an MP3 download code for all the tracks) and Download.

Order your CD or LP at the 3 Loop Music store now and get an exclusive hand numbered and signed A4 lyric sheet.

“(Lost Girls is) somewhere between the 4AD ‘Sound’ and that of Kitchens of Distinction. The Lost Girls could have been just that, lost. On the evidence of this collection of their work, that would have been criminal.”
8.7/10 – Backseat Mafia

“Over a wasted, civil war-style landscape comes a vocal that sounds like some daughter of Tim Buckley intoning a lament for the dead – I know nothing about Lost Girls; all I know is the world should know more about them.”
Needle’s Eye review, NME, 1999

“an embarrassment of previously unreleased riches”
4/5 – Record Collector

“a stunning collection of songs”
4/5 – Scottish Express

NEW RELEASE: The Auteurs catalogue re-issued

After the release of the expanded editions of New Wave and Baader Meinhof, it is about time that The Auteurs remaining 3 albums were re-issued as well. So on the 2nd June 2014, Now I’m A Cowboy, After Murder Park and How I Learned To Love The Bootboys will be in the shops as 2CD sets. Each includes a wealth of bonus material compiled by Mr Luke Haines who has also contributed new sleevenotes for each album.

Click here to order your copy from our shop now – the first 50 copies of each release will be signed by Mr Luke Haines.

Now I’m A Cowboy was released in 1994 and is home the smash hit Lenny Valentino. In reflection, Mr Luke Haines remembers: “After we had finished recording ‘New Wave,’ I was determined not to get caught out by ‘difficult second album syndrome’, so I kept writing. New French Girlfriend, Lenny Valentino, Government Bookstore and Modern History were all written at the end of 1993. There was a truck load of ‘English’ stupid on the horizon. Against conformity, I rashly called the album Now I’m A Cowboy which was exactly how I felt, and the opposite of everything that was about to come.”

Recorded in under two weeks at Abbey Road Studios, After Murder Park marked a new direction and needed a new sound provided by the production of Steve Albini. Mr Luke Haines considers the recording sessions the high point of The Auteurs career: “My only regret is I didn’t know just how good this stuff was at the time. Sure, I knew we were on to something. But really, ‘After Murder Park’ …fucking Woah!”

The Auteurs fourth and ultimately final album, How I Learned To Love The Bootboys was released in July 1999, a 3-year gap since After Murder Park. During that hiatus, Mr Luke Haines released albums as part of Black Box Recorder and under the guise of Baader Meinhof.

Mr Luke Haines says “On listening to …Bootboys again, I’m actually surprised how focussed it sounds. There’s a straightforward ‘pop side’ and an unstraightforward ‘experimental’ side. My only regret is not putting more on the album – really stretching it out and making it a sprawling double, songs like Breaking Up and Get Wrecked At Homewere far too good for B-sides”.

THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS – DAY 12: LOST GIRLS

On the twelth day of Christmas, 3 Loop gave to me…..

…. A CHANCE TO WIN A TEST PRESSING FROM LOST GIRLS!


One of our most intriguing releases was a startingly good album that had sat unreleased in the vaults since 1998.

Lost Girls are Patrick Fitzgerald of Kitchens of Distinction and Heidi Berry who had released several albums on Creation and 4AD. Looking for a project, they got together in the studio and put together a remarkable set of songs which, when we got to hear them, we knew were too good to sit on that shelf for any longer. Our 2CD, LP and Download of the album has met with critical acclaim (scroll down to see!) and we have a competition for you to win a unique prize – a test pressing vinyl of the album.

For you chance to win it, head over to over to our Facebook page here, like our page and share the Lost Girls post.

You can also enter on Twitter by following us here and retweeting the Lost Girls tweet.

We’ll pick a winner from all you sharers and tweeters…

…. AN EXCLUSIVE BOB VIDEO!

As BOB prepare themselves for a return to live action next year, we want to share this with you – a clip from an intimate show at Southsea’s Pie And Vinyl shop around the promotion of the re-issue of Leave The Straight Life Behind.



This track is a cover of a Jesse James track that Simon came across on a Northern Soul compilation and we think it’s a belter!

BOB have announced that they are playing at the Gigantic Indie All Dayer on 23rd May in Manchester and are planning some other dates too, so watch this space.
All this and a new Anthology release in pipeline means 2015 is going to be a busy year for BOB!

Praise for J’Accuse!
“If you can’t find anything to enjoy on J’Accuse, you’re not listening carefully enough”
Backseat Mafia – 8/10

“An album that has left the past behind, and expanded its horizons. Indie is not the world.
You might not know and might not care that these songs share a creator with former indie chart hits like “River of Diamonds” and “Steamroller”, it’s great to hear old voices doing new things, and doing them this well, with a freshness and intelligence.”
Record Rewind Play – 8.5/10

“J’Accuse! is turning out to be something rather special”
Andrew Collins

“a rare beast; an album that bears repeated listening, that doesn’t treat you like an eight year old, that demands you come and meet it half-way. J’Accuse! is intelligent pop music with suss which maintains that there is still something of worth to be done with that form of expression… why is no-one else doing this?”
Louder Than War

“erudite, eclectic and enormously enjoyable… one of those all-too-rare quietly triumphant records; confident, fun, adult, fully formed and self contained.”
The Mouth Magazine

“there’s no doubting J’Accuse! is a mighty accomplished piece of work”
Isolation Records
