The Carbon Manual Remixes Clockwise – Brendon Moeller, Lola Dutronic (Richard Citroen), Zuul Music – Mantra – Mania – Mu Artist: The Carbon Manual Title: The truth is Label: Red Star Digital “ I was listening to Carbon Manual yesterday and…it’s actually pretty brilliant .” – Marty Thau, Chairman, Red Star Records New UK-based electro-psychedelic The Carbon Manual generates a sound that pierces the soul and psyche. Formed after a chance meeting between Iain Weir and Clifford Gee , and ex-Barracudas Jeremy Gluck , the trio agreed a casual intention to create just one song together. Due to the immediate, innovative nature of the work produced, more material emerged. “ The truth is ”, their debut EP for Red Star Digital is the outcome. Combining intense spoken word with organic rock mantra into bleak tension and luxurious, hypnotic passages of melody and voice, The Carbon Manual draw on the Beat tradition of Burroughs, Ginsberg and Kerouac, adding a sensibility informed by Krautrock and artists such as Suicide, Slint and Leonard Cohen. Ex- Barracudas ’ Jeremy Gluck, whose career with the band created a legend – in the UK indie leader Cherry Red Records has just reissued no less than six albums by the band in deluxe form – that has since spawned critically-acclaimed solo work with the late Nikki Sudden amongst others (their recordings also currently the subject of a deluxe reissue), joined in the Manual by core duo Weir and Gee, accomplished journeymen of the UK garage-psych’ scene, makes for a timeless 21st century barrage of hypnotic music and unpredictable beats that liberate hearers from expectations and cynicism. “ The truth is ” EP comprises three TCM songs and their remixes, the latter featuring the renowned Brendon Moeller, Lola Dutronic’s Grammy-nominated Richard Citroen, and rising UK DJ “Zuul”. In the recent past Jeremy Gluck has had remixes done by, amongst others, Mick Harvey and Echologist, the natural successor to which these new Carbon Manual mu -tations are in content and style. Parallel to their Red Star debut, “The truth is”, The Carbon Manual will release an eponymous deluxe limited edition LP on famed underground imprint Equation Records. This will the coffee table Carbon Manual, as snotty as it is lush. The Carbon Manual’s ambient rock’n’roll , and spellbinding speech sets a new direction for post-punk and alternative music. Blank verse regeneration or honky rap, the feel is fresh. “ Carbon Manual for me is an artistic and enlightened psychedelic adventure…this music will be viewed as refreshingly advanced and surprisingly accessible for those able to appreciate it .” – Marty Thau, Chairman, Red Star Records Ice Sleep I Break Through Empty Recorded and Produced in Axbridge, Somerset by The Carbon Manual 2009 Ice Sleep (Brendon Moeller Dub Mix) I Break Through (Lola Dutronic Mix) Empty (Zuul Discoid Mix) Iain Weir – Guitars and Machines Clifford Gee – Bass Guitar Jeremy Gluck – Voice Mu- sic by Iain Weir and Clifford Gee Words by Jeremy Gluck
