Coney Island Sound is a new project started by Hull-based Ewan Gordon
that mixes a variety of found sounds, environmental recordings,
folky melodies and busy electronica. Accordions and Harps rub shoulders
with Casios and Kaoss Pads while Acoustic guitars and unusual rhythm
sources construct more familiar song structures.
The
music follows a more experimental direction and began alongside
his endeavours with Olympic Lifts. It was whilst playing and DJing
with the likes of Four Tet, Royksopp, Ladytron, Mina, Notwist, Lo-Fidelity
Allstars and Ugly Duckling that he first started mixing environomental
audio with folk elements collecting ideas on Dictaphone tapes.
Coney Island Sound's first posting was 'Bring My Love's Unwanted
Arrow' (featuring a vocal from Bod of Fonda 500) which evolved from
cutting together found Maori folk song records (currently available
on the acclaimed I Can Count Vol.2 compilation).
Other previous work includes remixes for Skint Records, Escalator
Records (Japan) & Bungalow Records (Berlin) while more recently
he has remixed a track for label-mates Alaska In Winter for inclusion
on their current EP.
Coney Island Sound's debut 7", entitled 'Introducing Mr Kellog',
is out now. Listen to a preview
