Jeremy Warmsley makes electronica with songs in them. He lives in London and is half-French and is signed to Transgressive Records.
A songwriter since the age of seventeen, he had an epiphany in January 2005; realising all the music he'd ever made up 'till then bored him, and started again from scratch. Ever since his music has encompassed a curious mixture of the new and the old, the traditional and the atypical, all things archaic or experimental. He insists on self-producing all his songs, only bringing in other musicians to sing backing vocals.
?At last David Kitt and Patrick Wolf have competition in the slim field of singer-songwriters who favour techno trickery over acoustic strumming.? [Time Out]
"A veritable treat of benign folk and skewed Beck-isms... Undeniably important." [The Fly]
?A mighty one-man show? Jeremy Warmsley hits all the right soft spots.? [NME]
Rose Kemp : Just turned 21 and blessed with an impossibly rich and reaching voice, sometimes accompanied by shimmering electric guitars, sometimes looping itself into complex, sumptuous, harmonised hooks, or sometimes simply rising unadorned and acappella to silence a room. Once you?ve heard her you?ll never forget it, her songs stick in your soul and pulse in your brain like nothing else on earth. Rose Kemp will rock your World.
"It's not very often that we see a Cumbrian lass lying on the floor singing through a throat microphone. Enter, then, the beautifully odd world of Rose Kemp. An impressive array of guitar pedals provides an impressive arsenal of effects through which to showcase her unique, folk-inflected voice. The highlight emerges when Rose utilises tape delay to loop and intertwine her various vocal hooks into one glorious whole. Stunning stuff." - [The Fly]
Before that we've Simon Mastrantone. First on will be Tom Rogerson.
