RECORD STORE DAY 2009 - TELLIER VS KEITH

16.04.09

On Saturday, April 18, 2009, independently-owned music stores across the country are celebrating Record Store Day. On this day, all of these stores will simultaneously link and act as one with the purpose of celebrating the unique cultural place that they occupy, both in their local communities, and as part of the national identity.

As a 100% independently owned label, we rely on the great support these stores provide our releases, & so we knew we had to contribute something special to the day.

As such, we are creating a one-off and very special 12” featuring two of our artists - Sébastien Tellier and Keith - performing the Tellier signature, “La Ritournelle”. The unique 12” will be limited to just 250 copies.

The 12" is only available at the stores taking part in Record Store Day (which include Rough Trades East and West, Pure Groove, Spillars, Piccadily, Jumbo etc). The 12 will only be available on the day to physical shoppers and then exist never-more. Lucky Number giving you plenty good reason to support the spirit of independence! See you at the racks this Saturday!

SEBASTIEN TELLIER - RIGHT OVER THE TOP

12.04.09

'One of the best artists in the world right now' OMM
'Aural Viagra' MOJO
'A modern electronic masterpiece' CLASH
'Monsieur Tellier continues to pervert the very nature of pop music' DAZED

Sebastien is currently on tour in the US which will include a show at Coachella this weekend. Back in the UK we are getting ready (at last) for the release of Kilometer on Monday 20th April. It features remixes from Aeroplane, A-trak, Moulinex, Arpanet and Donovan and has been Mixmag’s Tune of the Month for two months running (?!), a NME Top 10 Tune, No 1 in the fantastic Erol Alkan’s big tunes and Ed Banger head honcho Busy P has called the A-trak mix ”the best remix of the year”. The 12” has SOLD OUT in advance but the slightly less lovable digital versions are available, and they’ll never sell out ;-) It’s a must have! Click on the Kilometer sleeve to the right for the full details.

As represents a true artist, the video, directed by Francois and Jonas, who recently provided features for Madonna & Justin Timberlake, Kanye West and Justice, was as eagerly anticipated as the audio. Tightrope-walking class & crass with finesse, as ever, the promo is as entertaining as we've come to expect from our favourite French lothario.

KEITH - LULLABY

14.02.09

Keith have just released Lullaby the second single from Vice & Virtue, the forthcoming masterful sophomore album recorded with white-hot producer Dan Carey (Franz Ferdinand/Hot Chip/La Roux). Built on dreamy pianos and jazzy drums, Lullaby is a breeze of pure escapism, its lyrics yearning for a better place.

The video is directed by China Moo-Young (Warp Films) and is heavily influenced by the work of French genius Denis Lavant, especially the classic closing scene from Beau Travail. We think it is a stunning video, that beautifully complements the song with its powerful simplicity, performance and mood. Please check it out,  by clicking on the image below.

The band have also just got returned from a fantastic tour of Japan where they played 5 simply awe-inspiring shows, visiting Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka and Tokyo. They are also about to tour the UK and you'll kick yourself if you miss them on their current form. See dates.

 

 

 

SEBASTIEN TELLIER - KILOMETER, REMIXES AND VIDEOS

13.02.09

Sebastien Tellier&&&.the unique voice of modern French electronic-edged pop, France's inspired choice as their 2008 Eurovision representative and the undisputed coolest man in music will soon return with 'Kilometer' the third single to be released from his acclaimed album 'Sexuality'

Kilometer is to feature remixes from Aeroplane, A-trak, Moulinex, and Donovan. Ed Banger head honcho Busy P has already called the A-trak mix the best remix of the year and the Blogs seem to agree whilst the Aeroplane mix is, for us, simply orgasmastic - both can be heard on our Myspace page.

In addition, Sebastien has made a total of 4 videos recently. Kilometer has been directed by Francois and Jonas (Madonna/Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, Justice), it is undoubtedly going to be very special and is coming very, very soon. Roche has been directed by Fleur & Manu (Sexual Sportswear video), was shot in Biarritz and you can see a teaser for it here And finally, none other than Roman Coppola popped into Sebastien's apartment recently to quickly shoot an improvised and beautiful short film to accompany 'L'amour Et La Violence' which can be seen if you click on the image below.

Now, how special and unique is all of the above? All in all, we think you'd be hard pushed to find a more impressive or talented team of remixers or video-makers currently working with any other music artist in the World. The reason? Well, as the very fine journalist Garry Mulholland recently said in Observer Music Monthly Sebastien Tellier is simply one of the best artists in the world right now. Sure is.

 

 

 

LUCKY NEW YEAR

13.02.09

So it's been more than 2 months since our last news update, which is a pitiful effort (we agree). However, there are extenuating circumstances as the last couple of months haven't been the easiest at Lucky Number Towers. Our distributor Pinnacle went into administration on December 3rd which meant a lot of good people lost their jobs and a very nice Record label you know and love lost a lot of hard-earned money too. Anyway, we have stopped crying, we've dusted ourselves down, signed a new distribution deal with the very capable PIAS and roll on 2009. It's going to be a vintage year for Lucky Number and our artists and, we hope, for you too!

Recent news includes, Gotye winning iTunes Album of the Year and a forthcoming single (tba); Keith single and video news plus forthcoming album; an introduction to Little Comets the UK's hottest new band plus LOTS of incredibly exciting news from arguably the best artist in the World right now Monsieur Tellier.

 

GOTYE – LIKE DRAWING BLOOD ITUNES ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2008

02.12.08

Lucky Number are delighted to announce that Gotye’s album “Like Drawing Blood” has been named as iTunes Album of the Year for 2008.

Whilst Belgium born Gotye had already won a plethora of prestigious awards in his adopted home of Australia, including the Australian equivalent of both the Mercury Music Prize (Australian Music Prize) and Brit Awards (ARIA for Best Male Artist) as well as the Australian Independent Records album of the year, this UK award is a fantastic achievement for an artist who recorded the album in his bedroom by night whilst working as a librarian by day.

For Like Drawing Blood, Gotye cut loops of calypso, reggae bass, Tijuana brass, 50s film score strings and combined them with emotional swathes of harmonized vocal colour and bold melodic strokes. A detailed task, the resultant brew is an evocative collage of sounds with their own cultural flavours and heartfelt melodic brilliance.

Gotye’s bedroom symphonies have connected intimately with a massive audience in Australia. Will this iTunes recognition lead to a deserved wider appraisal from the UK media of the quality this largely overlooked artist and album represents?
