THE MOULETTES - Songs From St Margarets ep
(RDC 006)
Red Deer Club presents its second 'official' release: "Songs From St Margaret's" by The Moulettes, again drawing upon the underbelly of understated musicians, they have once again unleashed a real gem.
In these days of ruthlessly overproduced studio albums, The Moulettes sought to make an mini album that would lose none of its immediacy and honesty. They chose St Margaret's church in Whalley Range, Manchester for its superior acoustics, and recorded it live in one evening, the hallowed rafters resounding with sinister string tales of desire, depravity and despair.
Limited to 300 copies

GEORGE THOMAS AND THE OWLS - 'concert for two bicycles'
(RDC 004)
Here at Red Deer Club we are proud to present 'Concert for Two Bicycles' the debut Long Player by George Thomas and the Owls. After two years selling out of hand made cd-r compilations and running nights as Manchester’s premier folk club, we can only describe ourselves as hugely excited to be mutating into a grown up record label with this, our first official release.
We stumbled upon George last summer in Manchester, where he was playing shambolic and strangely touching live sets, claiming to be a woodcutter from the Peak District. Later, when the trees started falling down, we found this to be true. As for The Owls, it seems they're a raggle taggle bunch consisting of whoever George picks up on his travels, generally playing whatever instruments are at hand. Most recently this has involved stealing the mighty Viking Moses' band for a legendary performance at the Homegame festival, as well as an equally successful tour of the UK.
The recording of 'Concert for Two Bicycles' was split, we are told, equally between a garden shed in the Peaks, and a flat beside the railway tracks in Manchester. The resulting sound is one of humble charm, with a rare and at times almost unnerving closeness to the listener. Its an album that's full of warmth and an earthy humanity, where songs about the pleasures of the local bakery sit happily alongside those about the pests and diseases of garden flowers. They are songs that are dark like confectionery, yet hopeful like chemotherapy (he insisted we leave that in).
George himself will claim to be influenced by anything from Canadian hip hop to Welsh heavy metal, but to our ears the sound of this record lies somewhere between the picturesque ramblings of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci or The Beta Band, and the twisted storytelling of Smog or The Handsome Family.
In truth though, comparisons mean little, since this is a unique set of songs which could not have been written or recorded by anybody else. We hope you enjoy the album as much as we do!

"Those who have already experienced George’s slightly fractured performances, should delight in this slightly unnerving but rather brilliant record....." MANCHESTER MUSIC (album of the week)"This delightful collection of homespun folk is straight out of the Devendra Banhart book of loveable acoustic weirdness....highly recommended. Lovely." BOOMKAT"Despite the somewhat disadvantage of hailing from the rainy North West of England, the group's sound is not a million miles away from the wistfully odd twenty-first century folk of Devendra Banhart et al, drawing on North American blues as well as the British folk revival tradition and the lof-fi beginnings of Manc homeboy Badly Drawn Boy and his fellow Twisted Nerve travellers...." PICCADILLY RECORDS
"Likeable, fun and sweet guitar songs from this hard-working band who've been touring all over the shop. A pleasing level of folkiness added to Thomas's slightly quirky vocal style give it a feel of its own. Nice stuff to while away the hours to. Check if you're a fan of folk." SMALL FISH
"Concert For Two Bicycles nudges those going through the motions of the folk revival scene gently back in the shade. It won't win any trophies for breaking the decibel barrier, but the eleven tracks on display here are cryptic enough to coerce their audience into submission, and feature scoops of earthy timelessness as evergreen as Grotbags' herb garden."

"Eerie and gorgeous songs of deep breath and small miracle.... 8/10" FOXY DIGITALIS
