BAS JAN
(UK / Lost Map Records)
Yes I Jan will be released on February 9 2018 for digital download and will be physically available February 23 2018.

Bass, violin, drums and singing.
Bas Jan’s earliest songs were initially conceived as Serafina Steer solo material, until Bas Jan co-founder members Sarah Anderson and Jenny Moore – both of whom have since left the project – triangulated the whole collaboration and, in 2015, the band was born. Currently joining Steer in the new incarnation of Bas Jan are violinist, bassist and vocalist Emma Smith (Meilyr Jones, Seamus Fogarty and founder member of the Elysian Quartet) and drummer and vocalist Rachel Horwood (Trash Kit, Bamboo).

Co-written and performed by Steer, Anderson and Moore, with additional playing from Smith, Yes I Jan is a chronicle of the first two years of the band and the collection of unique personalities which helped shape its unconventional and thrilling sound and energy. Bas Jan is a collaborative project, so each member either made up or elaborated their own part within the initial song structures. Yes I Jan was recorded at Total Refreshment Centre and Gun Factory studios with the production skills of Capitol K, Leafcutter John and Leo Abrahams

SDF
"A club on the moon. Glass dance floor constructed over a massive crater. Below, millions of infinity glow sticks blare. Space-age fashion back in style. Pink drinks that fizz blue. Covered by a plasma dome that reflects lights that flicker along the walls. SDF taking the stage in pure disco-king mode. Keeping that consistent kick for movement. Synths that soar along the cosmos of clouds and stars. Enough noir to get a little moody, but still keeping that dance going. Vocals that build from 90s ballad-rock, consumer cold-wave, and house-MC. A little booth in the corner that reads Psykick Dancehall Recordings almost selling out of their cassette, Alana. And yes, cassettes play on the moon."
