I confess. I totally disregarded posting the debut release of electronic duo Jewellers about 2 months back. Might have been a good thing knowing I would have sobbed all over the article. However, I’m reluctant to hear that the group just released more work, which I’ll mix right in with the old news if you don’t mind.
Producers Gareth Leaman and Gareth Young reside in Newport, Wales and create their music under the moniker Jewellers. Their debut release Sleep Education was official as of October 10th on the Sounds of Sweet Nothing label, but was hitting headphones as early as spring. This provided enough time for them to proudly gain support for their hypnotic, yet arm-hair-raising tunes. The full-length album was brilliantly compiled with a set of inspiring, electronic tracks that will bring your mind to a dramatic-thinking state of sorts. Inspiration for the album and cover art may have come from sounds of cathedrals in Wales as they reflect the echoed patterns of dark, crystallized synths and looped vocals that creep into each track.
Just this past week, Jewellers let loose some more chillwaving tracks as free online releases. They’ve teamed up with Manchester shoegaze group Patterns in a collaboration release with two remixes. Alongside that release, a brand new track of theirs titled “Moonshine†was released as well, which you can grab for free via the Red Deer Club mixtape. Take a listen to the “Throwing Stones” remix below for a whiff of the most recent Jewellers work and then “Tape†from Sleep Education for a little of what the debut album has to offer. If you enjoy what you hear, jump on over to their Bandcamp and SoundCloud for free downloads of all the tracks.
