2020 might have been the toughest year ever, nevertheless Seahorse Recordings it’s proud to have, in spite of everything, released more than a bunch of great albums, for new, upcoming and more established artists. Music has been the life belt for all of us through pandemic, so to finally celebrate the end of 2020, we asked all of them to contribute with a previously unreleased song to this compilation. Some choose to cover songs they love (ELLE trio rendition of Fleetwood Mac “Landslide”, Miky Marrocco / Kokura covering Bill Callahan / Smog), some preferred live recordings, others decided to record totally new tracks. This is our “thank you” to everyone who supported the artists and the label, and an invitation to discover more if you like what you hear.

Il 2020 è stato un anno durissimo, per tutti e per la musica. Nonostante tutto, e a dispetto di tutto, Seahorse Recordings è orgogliosa di aver pubblicato più di una manciata di album di valore, per artisti nuovi, in ascesa, e in alcuni casi già più affermati. La musica è stata una sorta di salvagente per tutti noi durante la pandemia, per questo, per celebrare finalmente la fine del 2020, abbiamo chiesto a band e musicisti Seahorse di contribuire con una traccia inedita a questa compilation. Alcuni hanno scelto di proporre cover di brani che amano (gli Elle che rifanno “Landslide” dei Fleetwood Mac, Kokura che reintepreta Smog), altri hanno preferito live recordings, altri ancora hanno registrato per l’occasione nuovi brani. Questo è il nostro “Grazie” (di cuore) a tutti coloro che hanno sostenuto in questi lunghi mesi gli artisti e la label, e un invito a scoprire di più sui nomi qui presenti.

Combining elements of dream pop, R&B, shoegaze and post rock, Rev Magnetic revolves around the core of long-time Mogwai collaborator, musician and author Luke Sutherland, ‘Versus Universe’ is the debut album for Rev Magnetic, released in May ’19 on Rock Action.
The album revolves around the memories of a now middle-aged woman whose parents – both ex-pat astronauts who disappeared mid-mission in the early days of the Congolese Space Program – had more time for one another and their careers than they did for their daughter. A tremendously sensitive and empathetic child, she responded to the lack of love in her life by turning to prescription drugs, music and nature. 
While touring the world as guest multi-instrumentalist with Mogwai, Luke (Long Fin Killie, Bows, Music A.M. Jomi Massage) used the downtime to sketch a bunch of songs.
Once he got home, he wrote a handful more and recorded them with the help of a few friends at his cottage on the edge of the Scottish Highlands. Keen to translate the radiant chaos of the recordings into a live setting, Rev Magnetic was born. Featuring Audrey Bizouerne (Gift Horse) bass, vocals, guitar, keyboards) who Luke met in Paris while he was playing with Jomi Massage, Sam Leighton (drums) and Gregor Emond (guitar), who played with Luke in Hynd way back before the birth of the internet, the album is released under license from the band’s own Imminent Joy Records.
