May 2010

We're thrilled about the debut full-length from Finland's Ous Mal. This album was a real pleasure to be involved with and once you hear the immense melodic gift and soundcraft at hand on Nuojuva Halava, you'll know why.

Aaron Martin has started a blog for all his musings and happenings that you can check out here He has also made some nifty t-shirts of a lovely cream shade for sale you'll be able to have a look at and buy there as well. Still with Aaron, his album 'Worried About The Fire' came out on Experimedia in the US recently and is soon to be pressed on vinyl. Look out for a collaboration with Dawn Smithson on 7" too.

March 2010

The first release for 2010 is with us! it comes from San Francisco's Ben Swire - From Here To There. We were thrilled last year by a track Ben sent - the opening one, 'Propel', on his album - that kept spinning in our head and we wanted more. The rest was just as grand - intelligent and tuneful electronica with a huge sense of space.

You'll notice Ben's photos grace the cover and inside of his album. While we have used peoples' photos before, you'll also notice that this release is on a more standard-style package. It's at this time we would like to thank Preservation's co-founder Mark Gowing for all the incredible work he has put into the design for Preservation releases and making it such a special thing. As we move on to a different phase for Preservation, we will be on the lookout for designers from all over the world to contribute to releases.

The next release to follow is from Finnish artist Ous Mal, with design from UK artist Jenkins. It will be released in May - stay tuned!
