MAVIS Gangs of Rome (Vinyl)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Gangs of RomeCondition: NewDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS Ashley Beedle and Darren Morris present a taster for their MAVIS project to the world via a vinyl only 10'' EP. Over four tracks an introduction to the story of Mavis unfolds, acting as the perfect taster for the full album, due in February 2010. The EP features three of the guest vocalists from the album plus an alternate version of the Ed Harcourt track from the long player. Mavis has long been in the mind of Ashley Beedle and is named so in tribute to Mavis Staples of the Staples Singers. Taking an initial backing track as a starting point, numerous vocalists were approached and offered varied vocal takes which were then used as the basis for a remixing of the music to create original and diverse tracks from the one root. Kurt Wagner's 'Gangs Of Rome' deals with the fall of empire and took Ashley and Darren to a dark musical place, drawing on a seedy swing that swaggers like the Bloods and Crips that embody the modern day gangs of the lyrics in the modern Rome of the USA. Ed Harcourt's two versions deal with a man facing the world alone, drawing the production duo into a world of drones and noise but punched through with a piano line for the finished version, the demo left more spaced out and disconnected. John Turrell's lolloping groove on 'What You Looking For' is a world away from both, a rich, soulful swing with a soaring chorus that drips with heart and passion as he confesses his shortcomings to an unnamed lover. The full length Mavis album features the artists above alongside established names such as Cerys Matthews, Sarah Cracknell, Edwyn Collins and Candi Staton whilst introducing a new generation of voices in Crazy P's Danielle Moore, Disa from Reykjavik and Dear Reader's Cherilyn MacNeil in addition to John Turrell of Smooth and Turrell who appears on the EP.
