Speedy Wunderground announce "Nothing To Say"
Speedy Wunderground have started 2021 as they mean to go on, the lack of live opportunities doing nothing to halt the momentum of a label that has always thrived on never sitting still.
Following a start to the year that has seen the release of the first new material from revered songwriter Stephen Fretwell in 13 years, a new collaboration between Polish avant-pop artist Brodka and Scottibrains and the latest single release from much-tipped Hebden Bridge teenagers The Lounge Society, today Speedy Wunderground announce the 21st release taken from the label's in-lockdown Quarantine Series. As with previous releases, it sees Savage Gary - the pseudonym of label boss and producer Dan Carey - pairing his own arrangements to a vocal contribution, this time from Domino Recordings' Georgia.
Mercury nominated for last year's "Seeking Thrills", and recently announced as 2021's ambassador for Love Record Stores, Georgia is a long-term friend of Dan's, the two of them having played together as bandmates in an early incarnation of Kae Tempest's live set-up.
carnival-pop from Carey propelled by an immediate and surefire vocal hook from Georgia, who had the following to say about their decision to collaborate and the single:
"I love Savage Gary. I love Dan. When he sent me the initial beat it was so different and beautiful in its simplicity that the melody just came to me instantaneously. I put down the vocals in a couple hours and sent them to Dan.... next thing you know it sounds like this! FIRE."
"Nothing To Say" features artwork and a visualiser from graphic designer Raissa Pardini, who has strong ties to music already and whose distinctive work has just been acquired by the V&A.
The track was mixed by Dan’s 16 year old daughter Orla Carey. Who has previously mixed records for Scottibrains, Goat Girl, Pynch and Girl Ray - proving that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
"Nothing To Say" will see a vinyl release later this year as part of Savage Gary - Quarantine Sampler 3, the third EP to collect what has now been over 12 months of locked-down Wunderground gems from Carey and friends.
