In 2012, Spacebomb dropped a bottle in the ocean, a record by Matthew E. White called Big Inner. The label’s inaugural work (later licensed worldwide by Domino), it floated around the world and into thousands of new homes. For a small organisation just starting out, it was more than just a success–it changed everything.

This winter, Spacebomb will once again open its arms and gather around one man’s vision, a man called Howard Ivans – of indie pop darlings The Rosebuds and soft rock collective Gayngs. Embracing the process of producing a magic piece of round plastic, the 45” (SB003) will bear witness to him stepping out solo, into the coloured lights, bringing along two mesmerising, pulsing, gut-sticking tracks that tear away the walls between the future and the past, sadness and happiness, light and shadow. It sees Howard Ivans reveal himself anew with two brilliant flashes of chromatic-eyed soul.

Side A, ‘Red Face Boy’, is a blistering journey through the madness and insecurity of love, feet on the floor, glossy and raw. Side B, ‘Pillows’, is a honeyed dream ballad, the trademark Spacebomb sound draped in silk: ravishing strings, stinging horns, and above all, an insistent and persuasive rhythm section. This is the music of Spacebomb & Howard Ivans.

The game may have changed, but the Spacebomb players are still the same: Pinson Chanselle and Cameron Ralston remain drum and bass rhythm kings; string arrangements come courtesy of Trey Pollard and horn charts by Matthew E. White. You can hear the attic studio move and shake like a well-oiled machine. Making records the Spacebomb way was the perfect match for Ivans’ vision, (and for the man who made a song-by-song cover album of Sade’s Love Deluxe), – channelling all his love for the history of satin-lined R&B into creating (and crooning) these two remarkably heartfelt songs.

The physical 7″ is available via Spacebomb’s store and Rough Trade. It will also be available digitally via itunes and Amazon.
