MusicMafiaUK presents....Rubicava

Rubicava were formed in the dying weeks of 2009 from the ashes of departed progressive rock outfit 'Dead Letter Office'. 

Their debut album 'Get Well Soon' was recorded, mixed and produced by the band themselves for a shade under a grand with the help of their friends, fans and well-wishers who not only helped fund the album but also helped with the recording by lending their equipment, ears/mouths/fingers and/or hands. 20 songs were shaved to a svelte ten, which make up an album of 2 distinct halves, (though very much two halves of the same whole). 

The bands debut single 'Wastemaker' is available now as a FREE download from their official website. Rubicava would like to let the music do the talking for them. Not because they have nothing to say, but because they have loose tongues and don't wish to incriminate themselves.

Sarabeth Tucek releases single Smie for No One

Sarabeth Tucek

Smile For No One

New single released September 12

Formats:

Download (SCR031D)

Tracklisting:

1. Smile For No One

2. Something/Anything

3. Get Well Soon

(In My Room Demo)

Producer:

Luther Russell

Sarabeth Tucek releases her new single, ‘Smile For No One’, via Sonic Cathedral Recordings on September 12.

It is the second single to be taken from Sarabeth’s album ‘Get Well Soon’ which, upon its release in April, was acclaimed by everyone from The Times and Q magazine to the Daily Mirror and The Quietus. It was that rare thing, an album that appealed to people of all musical persuasions, its title track becoming something of a panacea for the general malaise of modern life.

However, the subject matter of ‘Get Well Soon’ was actually very personal to Sarabeth, the album being based around her reaction to the death of her father some years previously. ‘Smile For No One, with its countrified harmonies (courtesy of producer and multi-instrumentalist Luther Russell), represents one of the lighter moments on the album, at least musically.

“I wanted the feel of the music to belie the lyrical content,” says Sarabeth of the track, before going on to explain how the prominent piano was added as an “homage to Cat Stevens”. She was introduced to Stevens’ classic 1970 album ‘Tea For The Tillerman’ by her mother and it has been a long-time favourite.

The B-sides available on the new digital-only single release include a short and bittersweet new song called ‘Something/Anything’, which was apparently written and recorded without any prior knowledge of Todd Rundgren’s 1972 double album of the same name. The other track is the ‘In My Room Demo’ version of the title track of ‘Get Well Soon’, which adds a chiming guitar refrain that makes the song sound even more like some long-lost outtake from Big Star’s ‘Third/Sister Lovers’.

Sarabeth Tucek plays the following live dates in September:

September 1 – London – St Pancras Old Church

September 2 – Dorset – End Of The Road Festival (Local Stage)

September 3 – Liverpool – St Bride’s Church

September 4 – Newcastle – Cluny 2

September 5 – Glasgow – Captain’s Rest

September 6 – Leeds – Oporto

September 7 – Manchester – Castle Hotel

September 9 – Oxford – St Columba’s Church
