Carry On Awesome Wells

Awesome Wells has been recording music and hibernating in bedrooms in valleys, kitchens by railways and bunkers in the city for several years.

His music envisages a huge soundscape bringing in many elements of his diminished fantasy travels. This all makes for a wonderful sound, taking in influences from A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Animal Collective and Dexys Midnight Runners, to name a few.

Music and words written in Rangoon/Yangon, Mawlamyine/Moulmein and Steyning. Recorded in Steyning and Hove.

A stolen tuba, an electric piano found by the side of the road, a mandolin brought from a fortune teller just outside of Mandalay, twelve Burmese cigars, A Dog's Heart, a badly played trombone and a tin-drum.

Awesome Wells

The Highs And Lows Of De Witt A Stanton

    Awesome Wells has been recording music and hibernating in bedrooms in valleys, kitchens by railways and bunkers in the city for several years. His music envisages a huge soundscape bringing in many elements of his diminished fantasy travels. Wandering the world through the mediums of sound collages, most likely on his own or with the kind help of a cat called Flea. It definitely included a smashed china plate in a plastic bag, a flugelhorn from Prague held together with green tape, a Jew's harp from Venice, the birds in a graveyard in Nottingham in spring, bits of electronic synthesising and effect tom-foolery. A girl mucking about with a piano, a knackered old zither, a Dictaphone recording of a Ukrainian train station at dawn, sleigh-bells at dusk, an over-used loop sampler, some old jam-jars in a plastic bag, a nut-cracker named Klad, a lampshade, a child's violin, and probably some other stuff too. This all makes for a wonderful sound, taking in influences from Hawk And A Hacksaw, Animal Collective and Dexys Midnight Runners, to name a few. During this hibernation Wells stepped out to juggle various instruments and noises for The Voluntary Butler Scheme and as a result of parental encouragement from band-mates and friends alike, decided to open up his confused world of sound collage to other people.

    George Thomas And The Owls

    Shooting Cabin Songs

      "Shooting Cabin Songs" is the second full length release from George and his motley collection of musicians and friends and as such it stands as both a companion piece to, and a significant step forward from, "Concert For Two Bicycles", their debut. In George's words the intention was to create 'something that sounded like a Phil Spector record gone wrong, like it was made in a barn and everything was broken'. Red Deer Club just raised their eyebrows and let him get on with it! In the end he's come up a collection of ten wonderful heart wrenching songs to keep you feeling all warm on the inside.
