Kae Tempest will be a part of Record Store Day on April 22nd.
Kae Tempest and Foals are among the scores of artists to have confirmed special releases for this year’s Record Store Day.
Tempest will put out a brand new EP entitled Nice Idea, recorded during a five-day period last year with Dan Carey.
“This is a song about wanting to stay in bed all day with the person you’re in love with,” Kae said. “Imagine you could just shut the whole world out and enjoy each other. Nice idea.“
Carey is also a significant player on Foals’ RSD offering; his fresh spin on the band’s Life Is Yours LP being released as Life Is Dub.
“Life Is Dub was a lot of fun to make,” Carey reflected. “I approached each track one-by-one, finishing each before moving on to the next so I could feel how the record was developing.”
“For each song, I first decided whether to drop the tempo to half-time or keep the original. I was keen to have a mixture of dubby sounding stuff and experimental bangers, so I tried to alternate between the two. Sometimes I would have a drop of mushroom oil so see how that affected things.”
The full list of Record Store Day releases for 2023 is right here.
