We were more than happy to oblige with this, a 13-track, hour-long sweep of stuff that inspired and delighted us during the late months of 2013 and first half of 2014. All 4 members weighed in with different choices and we tried valiantly to crush them all together in a semi-coherent mix. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.714285714;">Hola! We spent last week on a cracking tour of the North of England, rounded off by an incredibly sold out and raucous "Zoetrope" LP launch party at the Chameleon Arts Cafe in Nottingham. Huge thanks to everyone involved in putting us on, playing with us, putting us up and to everyone who came and saw us. We had a brilliant time and are already looking forward to our gigs in May and June.</span><br />

HOWEVER. Before then, we have released a new digital single from the album, in the form of our set-closing banger "<strong>0891 50 50 50</strong>", backed by a fantastic Larry Crywater remix and a special radio edit for DJing types. You can stream and download it from the usual outlets, or buy it directly from <a data-mce-href="http://www.hellothor.com" href="http://www.hellothor.com/" style="color: #21759b; outline: none;">Hello Thor</a> for cheaper using this link: <a data-mce-href="https://hellothor.bandcamp.com/album/0891-50-50-50" href="https://hellothor.bandcamp.com/album/0891-50-50-50" style="color: #21759b; outline: none;">https://hellothor.bandcamp.com/album/0891-50-50-50</a></div>

<em> “Live favourite 0891 50 50 50 is riddled with wave upon wave of blinking samples, intricate synth lines and a happy hard-core beat. It is the sound of mid period New Order downing a strawberry milkshake on a very hot day. It’s bloody fantastic."</em> - God Is In The TV</div>

Woah! Check us out. Here are 4 tracks from our last-ever set as a power trio, filmed and recorded by the smashing guys behind <a href="http://supersmashhitrecords.co.uk/">Super Smash Hit Records</a> in Travelling Man Comics Shop, Manchester last November. We also wrote some verbiage about influences, inspirations and practicalities of playing electronic music live to go along with the videos for Glasswerk here: <a href="http://glasswerk.co.uk/magazine/article/21345/Cantaloupe:+Behind+The+Live+Show/">http://glasswerk.co.uk/magazine/article/21345/Cantaloupe:+Behind+The+Live+Show/</a><br />
<br />
The gig itself was another cracker courtesy of the peerless<a href="https://www.facebook.com/badunclemusic?fref=ts"> Bad Uncle</a>, and also featured our fine friends <a href="https://cowtown.bandcamp.com/">Cowtown</a> ripping up everything in sight. Check it:<br />

We've already had some early and very kind reviews:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://louderthanwar.com/cantaloupe-zoetrope-album-review/"><b>Louder Than War</b></a> - <i>"Even in quarter one of 2015, it’s clear that Zoetrope is going to be one of the albums of the year, so If you want some life-affirming, full throttle throbbing synth madness in your life too, you need to get on the Cantaloupe bus ASAP. Trust me, you’d be mad not to."</i><br />
<br />
<b><a href="https://colourhorizon.wordpress.com/2015/01/29/cantaloupe-zoetrope-2015/">Colourhorizon</a></b> - <i>"...an album that is resolutely life affirming. Zoetrope could well be the party album of 2015."</i><br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://monolithcocktail.com/2015/03/16/our-daily-bread-151-cantaloupe/">Monolith Cocktail</a></b> - <i>"A most enjoyable pop-lit excursion through the kosmiche, taking in the industrial North’s steely resonation from the electric 80s, whilst popping off to take-in the post-rock locations that spawned such interesting, off-kilter explorers as Tortoise, Holy Fuck and Battles, and flirting with Afrobeat vibes."</i><br />

<br />
<b>THIS IS THE NEWS:</b> Our debut full-length album "Zoetrope" will be released by <a href="http://www.hellothor.com/">Hello Thor</a> on vinyl and digital download on Monday 16th March. You can pre-order it NOW and get it before it hits shops, as well as an immediate download of Steve Lamacq-approved album opener "Big Kiss", here: <a href="http://www.hellothor.limitedrun.com/">http://www.hellothor.limitedrun.com</a><br />
<br />
Here's the full press release:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nottingham-based synth/guitar/drums quartet Cantaloupe release their debut 10 track album Zoetrope on limited edition 12” vinyl and digital download through Hello Thor Records on Monday 16 March 2015.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Thor first fell in love with Cantaloupe and their electronic pop music when they played an exhilarating set for us in a shopping arcade, shut down after 12 minutes by an angry autograph seller. We took our relationship to the next level with the release of their debut single, the 4 track Teapot EP, in 2012, which was picked up by Gideon Coe (BBC 6 Music) and Huw Stephens (Radio 1).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2013, we got down on one knee and asked them to put out a 12” with us. Sure, the proposal might have come after a wine or two, but once we’d sobered up we realised we still meant it. Phew. The euphoric Krautrock boogie of Splish/Wet Dog did not disappoint, arriving complete with a shimmering remix by Wax Stag and again being trumpeted across the airwaves (“I love that record - it‘s just so happy and joyous” Huw Stephens).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, after a year of recording and playing live - including a well-loved set at Liverpool Psych Fest in 2014 – we couldn't be happier to announce the arrival of Zoetrope: a collection of 10 lush, effervescent, endlessly inventive and oddly reflective pop songs, including Cantaloupe’s first non-instrumental tracks (featuring the vocal talents of new band member Eleanor Lee and Tom A.D).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Zoetrope shows off Cantaloupe’s full gamut of swirling sound and emotion - from the groovy hedonism of opener Big Kiss to the swish synthpop of Indigo; from the unyielding hands-in-the-air hardcore of live favourite 0891 50 50 50 to the queasy, introspective, haunting melodicism of Labour and Love. We’re never entirely sure what exactly it is that Cantaloupe do, but we know it makes us feel a bit sexy, like punching the air and GLAD TO BE ALIVE.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For fans of: Stereolab, The Human League, Tortoise, Kraftwerk, Patrick Cowley, Harmonia, Holy Fuck, K. Frimpong, Daft Punk, Giorgio Moroder, S.E. Rogie, Battles, Quack Quack, Air, theme tunes to 70s cop shows, punching the air, chat-lines.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Zoetrope is produced by Peter Fletcher (Escapologists, Seachange, Kagoule, Kogumaza).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cantaloupe is Aaron Doyle (drums), Eleanor Lee (synth/vocals), John Simson (synths) & David Stockwell (guitars).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Big Kiss</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Ambition</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Indigo</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. Zoetrope</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5. Gustave</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6. 0891 50 50 50</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">7. Clam City</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">8. Labour & Love</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">9. Holy Cow!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">10. Ian Whitehead</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The album comes with free download codes.

<br />
Hey there,<br />
<br />
We've been delighted by the reaction to '<a href="https://cantaloupe.bandcamp.com/">Labour & Love</a>' (as well as its lovely remixes) in the last week; thanks to everyone who has bought, downloaded and streamed it. We've also enjoyed a healthy amount of radio play with continued support from the BBC's Gideon Coe bolstered by plays from Steve Lamacq and Dean Jackson, as well as <a href="http://www.mixcloud.com/breakdownSL/the-breakdown-310115/">The Breakdown</a> in Sheffield. Cheers!<br />
<br />
Our minds are currently focussed on sorting out some UK shows in April, May and June to support the release of the album... which reminds me that I need to tell you 'Zoetrope' will be released on <a href="http://hellothor.limitedrun.com/">Hello Thor Records</a> on 16th March! We have a veritable smorgasbord of gigs coming up and some empty slots to fill on Fridays and Saturdays between these too. Do get in touch if you fancy having us round:<br />

Here's our first digital single from forthcoming album 'Zoetrope' on Hello Thor, complete with fantastic remixes courtesy of good buddies and all-round good eggs, <a href="https://chrononautz.bandcamp.com/">Chrononautz</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bluntmountains">Blunt Mountains</a>.

NEW YEAR, NEW... er, EVERYTHING?Aye up,<br />
<br />
It's the beginning stages of 2015, which means that it's also the beginning stages of the launch of our debut LP. You know, the one we basically spent the entirety of 2014 working on? Well, it's called <b>"Zoetrope"</b> and will be out on <a href="http://www.hellothor.com/">Hello Thor</a> in March! More details will be forthcoming in due course, but most will be on our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cantaloupe/226813987350939">Facebook page</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/hellocantaloupe">Twitter feed</a>; we're planning a total overhaul of the blog this year so will only be providing minimal updates. So go to those places instead.<br />
<br />
A few tidbits to tide you over in the meantime...<br />
<br />
Gideon Coe and Tom Ravenscroft have been playing a couple of tracks from the album on <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0072l9v">BBC Radio 6Music</a>, which has been extremely pleasing. <a href="http://amazingradio.com/shows/danicharlton">Amazing Radio</a>, in particular the excellent Dani Charlton, have showcased the album and posted some songs that you can stream here: <a href="http://amazingradio.com/news-2/new-music-news-2/showcase-cantaloupe">http://amazingradio.com/news-2/new-music-news-2/showcase-cantaloupe</a>.<br />
<br />
To coincide with the album's launch, we're currently in the process of planning a string of live dates from April onwards, starting with a short northern tour after Easter and then basically doing loads of weekenders whenever we can. More information on our <a href="http://cantaloupemusic.blogspot.co.uk/p/shows.html">Shows</a> page. If you're interested in booking us to play, why not drop us a line?<br />
<br />
Lastly, we're very pleased to make <b>AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT</b>: as of 2015, we have expanded to a quartet. Our super-talented friend Eleanor Lee, who provides vocals on a couple of songs on the album, has joined us on a permanent basis on vocals/synth no. 3.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16027067941158686855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239412996367187813.post-80611740174843000082014-11-24T03:44:00.000-08:002014-11-24T03:44:15.654-08:00CHEERS NOW 2014Had a cracking weekend with <a href="https://cowtown.bandcamp.com/">The Cowtown</a> in Nottingham and Manchester, with a super special cameo by <a href="https://fists.bandcamp.com/">Thee Fists</a> on Friday too. Thanks to everyone who came and partied as we tentatively tried out some of the new songs.<br />
<br />
That's all from us for the year in terms of gigs and generally appearing in public (though Simmo will be hawking Christmas Trees at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thompsonbrothersgreengrocers">Thompson Bros</a> on Haydn Road, Sherwood for the next few weekends if you want to tousle his beard. Yes, we're broke after splurging all our money in the studio). We're now putting the finishing touches to the album and will print some news about what it's called, what songs are on it and when it's coming out on <a href="http://www.hellothor.com/">Hello Thor Records</a> in due course. Better go, we've got masters to listen to...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16027067941158686855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239412996367187813.post-57807578368203964222014-11-20T06:35:00.000-08:002014-11-20T06:35:45.195-08:00FINAL REMINDER: FINAL GIGS OF 2015<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

By the way, the extremely talented <a href="https://twitter.com/irene_choudhury">Irene Choudhury</a> took the photo of us in my old house.<br />
<br />
And if you're after physical copies of our music, you're best heading off to <a href="http://www.hellothor.limitedrun.com/"><b>Hello Thor's online shop</b></a> as we live in far too chaotic circumstances to be held responsible for things like packing up and sending off records within a reasonable time period.<br />
<br />
But in even more exciting news, we're heading back to one of our favourite cities on Saturday 22nd November to continue the party we'll start in Nottingham the night before. Yus, Cantaloupe will be returning to Manchester after what feels like an eternity, alongside our good buddies <a href="http://cowtown.bandcamp.com/">Cowtown</a>, courtesy of the ever-brilliant <a href="https://twitter.com/badunclemusic">Bad Uncle.</a> This double-header of gigs will be our last in 2014 as we prepare to unleash our debut LP in early 2015 and an early opportunity to check out some new songs!<br />
<br />
Bad Uncle Ben sez:<br />

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.9200000762939px;">Fists have all but disappeared from Nottingham's live music scene over the last year, leaving a void that none can fill. Calling them an exceptional indie rock band would be accurate but sounds far less inspiring than their live performances are. Bits of garage and rockabilly and 90s US lo-fi, sure, but really Fists are just Fists. Thank fuck they're back. </span></span><br />
