Free download: Alchemist Covers EP

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Consider this Christmas in July! Here is a little 3 song EP of covers by I and I, Eric Sarmiento and Kalpana and Illus Ocean. I and I gives an interpretation of Swedish troubadour The Tallest Man On Earth’s excellent song “I Won’t Be Found”. Eric and Kalpana’s version of Radiohead’s “House of Cards” is a cool summertime jam to soothe the sun baked soul and Illus Ocean does a 10cc inspired take on Alchemists’ own The Pistol Arrows “Tangled and Strangled”.

You are invited to Weddings

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

We are excited to announce that on August 24th we’ll be releasing new artist Atlantic at Pacific’s rad debut “Weddings”. It’s full of hazy shimmering beat driven beach music that is as much akin to Eno’s ambient work and Boards of Canada as it is to recent “Chillwave” sounds from the likes of Washed Out. We’ll be featuring some Atlantic at Pacific material here as we lead up to the release date. For now, here is the cover featuring an awesome image by holgabot.

New artist: Atlantic at Pacific

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

We are excited to announce the addition of a new member to the Alchemist Records family: Atlantic at Pacific.  Mainly the work of Austin Wood of Santa Cruz, CA, those familiar with the sounds of Washed Out and Toro y Moi will find some similarities but Atlantic at Pacific definitely has it’s own thing going on.  The debut EP Weddings will be out sometime this Summer, which given the tropical feel of the sound is quite fitting.  More to come.
