B. Hate In My Heart
Infamous former front woman for seminal band, the Nymphs, Inger Lorre is making her long overdue return to the music scene. Following up 1999's solo record, Transcendental Medication and the collectable Motel Shootout single, Burn (1995) with a 7 single.
Inger admits her return to the music scene has been a long journey, The music I hear on commercial radio stations is mostly uninspiring. It makes me think how lucky I was to be part of that grunge scene and witness the success of bands like Sonic Youth. So I've been gathering my energy. For me making music is the easy part, dealing with people at major labels ' that was always hard. I never understood the value my music might have to others - I credit Jeff Buckley with making me see that. Until that point I didn't feel like I was doing anything important or good¦When Jeff died it was just one week after my father passed away, and it took me a long time to be able to move on from that trauma.
Why now? Having good people around me such as Henry Rollins and my long-time publicist and friend Faye has helped me feel strong and safe enough to create new music. I'm glad to step back into the music industry, independently and on my own terms ' I feel empowered. I also have a new band that are young, talented and full of enthusiasm!
Inger is currently working on a new album, but welcomes the opportunity to be involved in Record Store Day, I want to really celebrate the spirit of independence - record stores ran by music fans for music fans. These are the people I want to make great music for!
Snowflake is a song summing up the horror and the fear involved in addiction. I'm very pale skinned and 'Snowflake' was my street name. As a teenager and young adult I was trapped in a self-medicating addiction, as a form of protection against physical & verbal abuse and constantly being around alcoholism. As much as it harmed me it also saved me from becoming a teenage suicide. This song is the sound of me walking through fire. Hate in my Heart is about the downside of relationships, confused emotions and the fine line between love & hate. It's also about making the decision not to take anymore bullshit.A. Snowflake

To create Clear Language, the duo returned to their roots, working simply and with restraint, letting intuition guide them as they molded the 10 elegant, spacious gestures that comprise the album.
Now, just a few months later the duo returns with the CHIME / SHONE 7' vinyl for Record Store Day 2018.
Recorded during the Clear Language sessions, the two tracks 'Chime' and 'Shone' flow gracefully with a clear-eyed sense of reflection, as these two old friends transmit unfettered meaning through simple sonic gestures that resonate with the cosmos as much as they echo the pulse of a human heart.
In a culture dominated by the loudest, ostentatious voices, Lowe and Muller continue to prove the power and importance of restraint and minimalism.

Following the announcement of a new single Keep Your Darkness', and the double album The Anthology - 20 Years of Antiseptic Poetry'Glasgow trio bis have confirmed three dates for January 2015. The releases come via Cargo who are also releasing deluxe editions of the band's first three albums on 1st December.
The single is released as a 7" vinyl/download of Keep Your Darkness'backed with a cover of Susan Fassbender's 1981 minor hit, Twilight Café'.
Recorded with the full live band, Keep Your Darkness'carries some familiar bis influences, sounding like early Human League as played by Adam And The Ants with the signature triple-headed vocal assault. UK Fans will recognise the song from recent live shows, indeed it was widely considered the highlight of the band's set at the closing ceremonies of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
On the flip is a raucous take on Susan Fassbender's classic Twilight Café'. Susan was an underrated and tragic figure, as evidenced by a recent Top Of The Pops 2 episode featuring the song. The caption read, "No-one seems to know anything about Susan....except Glasgow Indie-Pop stars, bis". It's a song the band have always loved, and finally their version sees the light of day.
The single shows the hard-hitting side of bis and will feature on forthcoming live shows, new material suggests a return to the guitar/synth/drum machine model of the early days, with the sonic element dialled back to POP with a twist. In other words, bis promise to keep their darkness.
