London-based singer, songwriter and classically trained multi-instrumentalist Alexandrer Kotz, AKA Elderbrook, kicks off 2017 with the release of his much anticipated new single ‘First Time’. The track is out now via Kobalt, and is part of a two-track EP due to be released in February.

Slowly building ambience, ‘First Time’ drops into electrifying synths and sharp looping vocals layered with Elderbook’s luscious chorus. The combination of soulful vocals and synth melody creates a beautiful blend of pop-infused electronica. ‘First Time’ follows his single ‘Closer’ last year, and is produced by Kid-Echo who had huge success with ‘Crank It’.

Continuing on with his successful trajectory, Elderbrook released his official remix of Clean Bandit’s No.1 single ‘Rockabye’ and a headline show at XOYO London in March. His touring schedule has been hectic, accompanying trio RÜFÜS DÜ SOL on their European BLOOM tour, appearances with Gorgon City for their Kingdom Tour which included a date at The Warehouse Project and a headline show at the much-hyped new venue in Omeara.

Easy, the highly anticipated new album from rising Nashville-via-Mississippi band The Weeks is set for release April 7th on Lightning Rod Records. The new video for ‘Talk Like That’ features live footage shot entirely by drummer, Cain Barnes.

The Weeks are twin brothers Cyle (vocals) and Cain (drums), Sam Williams (guitar/vocals) and Damien Bone (bass). Formed when its members were in high school in Jackson, Mississippi, the band self-released its debut EP Dog Days in 2006. More than ten years and a handful of critically acclaimed albums later, the band has relocated to Nashville and toured extensively worldwide with Kings of Leon, The Meat Puppets, North Mississippi Allstars, Local H and many more.

The Weeks recorded Easy over the course of two weeks at Ardent Studios in Memphis, with producer Paul Ebersold. The band left Nashville to record in order to disassociate themselves from their everyday routines in the city, and to find a halfway point between their two homes old and new, Mississippi and Nashville. "Memphis has always been the capitol of North Mississippi to us", says guitarist Sam Williams. "We went there to be at Ardent. We knew Paul had learned everything from John Frye and John Hammond so we figured that was the spot. It’s important to keep those historic studios alive and not let them become museums."
