Release Notes:
George Demure: ...a suave and debonair gentleman hailing from Scotland,
now living and working in London.
George Demure spent 10 years at the forefront of Scotland's electronic
music scene before moving to London in 2002. This move prompted a
rediscovery of his love for guitars as well as discovering his
sensational yet elegant singing voice.
Equally adept behind a bank of drum machines as he is with acoustic
guitars and tambourines, George's songs demonstrate an obsessive love
of music, from Charlie Feathers to Lee Perry, Throbbing Gristle to Otis
Redding - and his ability to weave a particular lyrical slant in his
music owes much to his love of literature.
His debut LP "Boomtown Medallion" was released in October 2007 to great
applause form people like the NME Timeout, Mixmag and IDJ. Three tracks
were produced with Maps producer Aidan Love, and two with The Strokes
producer Gordon Raphael.
The single "My Baby's Gone" was released with a superb and quirky
video, and follow-up single ôSorrowö sports a remix from Soft CellÆs
Dave Ball. With his growing interest in multimedia performances and
collaborations with new musicians, producers and directors alike, his
monthly podcasts/videocasts are already the social insiders must
see....... the world of George Demure just gets bigger and bigger.
2009 saw a variety of projects for George, such as a collaboration with
Scratch DJ and graffiti artist Jonnie Lyle on the video ôHow Life
Is...ö, playing guitar on Ninja Tunes artist Neotropic on the
ôEquestrienneö LP, hosting of radio shows on Diesel:U Music (with
guests like Lemon Jelly and Dot Allison), and being nominated for ôBest
Dressed Musicianö along with Calvin Harris, Biffy Clyro, Glasvegas and
The Aliens in the Scottish Style Awards.
And, of course, recording his new album ôThe Drifterö, which is mixed
by brothers Luke and Liam May (Medicine8, Black Daniel). Artwork, as
usual by his life partner Laura Lees.
ôThe Drifterö will be released on Mahuta Recordings in June 2010,
preceded by the single ôLizaö (b/w a cover version of ôGolden Brownö).
Since his live debut supporting Colder at LondonÆs Bush Hall in 2005,
he attracts growing numbers of devotees with his live performances. A
host of gigs include Glastonbury (2005 and 2008Æs The Guardian Lounge),
performances throughout London, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh, the
Tank Magazine party at the ICA in 2006, Koko, a show stopping
performance at Output's 2006 Sonar Party in Barcelona, not forgetting
Batofar and Le Baron in Paris earlier this year.
George Demure was first featured on Output Recordings' Channel 4
Compilation with the classic "New Confrontation". A single, "The Main
Attraction" was released in September 2006, one of the last ever
releases on Output. Then, with Tirk Recordings, he released the New
Confrontation EP, a critically acclaimed 5 tracker in December 2006.
