RELEASE INFORMATION:

Following on from the success of previous volumes, the Secret
Love series continues to offer diverse material and interesting
new directions for listeners looking for a hit of aural soul and
folk. This compilation travels from the Wild West to outer-space,
via Gillbert O’Sullivan.

Tracks of particular note include the Choir of Young Believers
whose tune of sombre heartbreak entitled Things I Stole appears
early on the album. Their album is hotly anticipated for release
in early 2009 on Sonar Kollektiv. Next, Broken Promises by Quiet
Village is an oxymoronic uplifting-downbeat number with plenty of
soul. This chilled out track culminates in an Ennio Moricone
Western-style whistling solo: pistols at dawn at the Quiet
Village! Deeper Waters by Recloose is taken from the album
Perfect Timing, released on Sonar Kollektiv in September 2008.
This soulful song features the vocal talents of Joe Dukie from
New Zealand reggae-minstrels Fat Freddys Drop. Love You Straight
by Pop Levi is taken from the Never Never Love single on Counter
Records. This is pure romantic pop, a merger of the production of
70’s greats such as Electric Light Orchestra with a strange hint
of Gillbert O’Sullivan-like vocals.

Things take an exotic turn with Savath & Savalas, a mellow
tropicalia infused side-project from New York-Barcelona based
Guillermo Scott Herren, an artist perhaps better known as
Prefuse73, who has some notable releases on Warp under his belt.
The Savath & Savalas moniker has created the freedom to release
on B-Music, Twisted Nerve, Finders Keepers, and Hefty as well as
on Ninja Tunes. The featured track Estrella De Dos Caras is a
soulful tune that successfully fuses psychedelia with human
emotion. The intoxicating Absynth by Woolfy Vs Projections
originally came out in 2007 as a 12? on upcoming German nu-disco
imprint Permanent Vacation. Absynth enters a distinctly chilled
out groove with sparse synths.

The Rubies appear next, with their hit single I Feel Electric
featuring the Canadian Fiest, who needs no introduction. 2008 has
been a great year for The Rubies who recently playing alongside
Jamie Lidell and Whitest Boy Alive. Their album Explode From The
Center came out on Tellé Records, the home of Royksopp, and this
track exhibits these creative influences, whilst maintaining a
distinct sound of their own. Thief - regular contributors to the
series – provide Down, Down, which is remixed by Owusu into a
mesmerizing and sublime space-pop number laced with broken beats
and intricately cut samples. Finally Dublin based
composer/producer Stee Downes completes this sensational
soul-folk compilation. Destruction of Ourselves is his first solo
release taken from his forthcoming debut album All In A Day, due
for release on Sonar Kollektiv in November.

Destruction of Ourselves is a heartfelt finisher to the album,
which seamlessly rounds of Secret Love 5, and yet again proves
that the Jazzanova boys are more than able to take us on a smooth
journey through varied aural terrain.
