Houndstooth

Without trying to making it into a 'thing' in its own right, there's a bit of a coincidence that's appearing for some of our Houndstooth artists. Following Dylan Richards' chrysalis-like metamorphosis into House of Black Lanterns, Alec Storey is the latest artist to shift phase and re-christen his output after signing to our label; progressing from the Al Tourettes moniker in favour of the more becoming, Second Storey. Whilst his new name might be in homage to the musical path set forth for him by his father, the four-track Margosa Heights EP sounds very little like anything you've heard from the Bristol based producer before. Over the years Storey has emerged and evolved somewhat from the self-styled 'swamp music' of his early days, building and growing his artistic palette as he feasted on the influence of people like Portishead, Metalheadz and Herbie Hancock and the electronic music that he found himself surrounded with whilst growing up as part of the Molotov soundsystem on the Norfolk / Suffolk borders. He's always produced music that's alluded quite openly to his passions for free party soundsystems and rave culture - the type of music that's always existed in an advanced state of diaspora - but with his new material he experiments with the very inertia of the music that inspired him in the first place.
