I am finally hearing Overpowered for the first time thanks to Spotify

what a fucking great album

YOU KNOW ME BETTER THAN I KNOW MYSELF

^ still my favourite song on this.

Munich label Permanent Vacation have sprung a surprise with the news they are releasing a 12″ from Irish singer Róisín Murphy.

Entitled “Simulations”, the classic disco track has been floating around in demo form on YouTube since the end of 2011, and has been eagerly anticipated by Murphy’s army of slightly over enthusiastic fans. At the time it surfaced, the singer revealed that it was recorded with a “well-respected producer from Northern England” leading said fans to speculate over a reunion with her former Moloko partner in crime Mark Brydon.

In fact, Murphy recorded the track with Steel City legend Richard Barratt, formerly one half of the iconic Bleep Techno act Sweet Exorcist alongside Richard H. Kirk and more recently responsible for some excellent, self styled “fraudulent disco” releases under the Crooked Man banner. It’s not the first time the two have worked together, with Murphy contributing vocals to the mid 90′s Grace Jones cover “Feel Up” Barrat produced under the Spook alias. If you are not familiar with Barratt’s story, we can heartily recommend this interview with him on the Faith: Strobelight Honey website.

Murphy is no stranger to working alongside respected producers, with Mattew Herbert and Seiji tasked with behind the board duties on the two solo albums she has released to date, while she also been found providing vocals for artists as varied as David Morales, Toddla T, Mason and Crookers in recent years.

The forthcoming 12″ is complemented with remixes from Murphy’s compatriot and Permanent Vacation regular Mano Le Tough and Eric Kupper – a man with more remix credits than we’ve had hot dinners.

ty, had never heard of this Parrot/Roison Feel Up

Here's the Mano Le Tough remix

v nice mix by mano.

eric kupper too... interesting.

this first emerged a while ago but good to see it get a proper release at last

le tough remix is good too

even as a lover of slow sleazy disco epics i find the original somewhat overextended and underdeveloped. also the bassline is a little flat, no?

however, the le tough mix is good.

i prefer the original

although nb, i've only listened to both on shitty earbuds at work (i can't believe people think they're actually hearing music on the earbuds that come with ipods)

This is terrific, the world needs more 11 minute sleazy disco epics.

agreed. This song also hasn't aged at bit for me.

listened to these on good speakers and the original is still better than the remix. kinda lackluster work from mano.

This is decent enough, takes a while to get going though: Roisin Murphy, Luca C & Brigante - Flash of Light

i really like that one, heard on bis a while ago

it's a good song but it feels a bit underpowered (see what i did there?)

i think its undercookedness is intentional, and it works for the track, but yeah, something feels missing nonetheless...

hmm opinion changing the more i listen to it so ymmv

STRICTLY ROLLING VIP

otm

HUGE Roisin vibe on some of the new Bat For Lashes stuff...

Anyone else excited about this?

http://www.factmag.com/2014/04/02/roisin-murphy-announces-ep-of-italian-songs-mi-senti/

I am now.

Me! I am!

Mmm, mi sento bene!

I am intrigued.

She is in danger of becoming the new Kathy Diamond, ie a talent in her own right who keeps gracing mediocre dance releases, so this better be good.

Still annoyed that Lady Gaga has the fame/career, while Murphy is relatively little known/unproductive.

Murphy's own fault

Murphy is self-admittedly a recluse and prone to stage fright.

I'm between intrigued and excited

even if it turns out to be disappointing, props for the songs she's chosen and for having the balls to sing them in italian.

I've now watched this concert in its entirety three times.

So many hats. Like most of her sets, it would benefit from less jazzy vamping in the middle.

First track is out there!

The vocals sound a little patchy at points, like they're not mixed property or something… But other than that the track is excellent.

This is excellent news!

WHOA

Wait, she hopes it will be out by summer but I didn't gather from that (admittedly brief) article that this stuff has even been recorded yet. Marking it on my calendar for 2015 at the earliest.

when I think that I'm over her...

I assumed she meant by this summer but you're right she only says she's written these songs. Can't believe Overpowered is already seven years old.

Maybe she'll work with Matthew Herbert again!
