ORGAN THING OF THE DAY – A new single from The Correspondents, the animation and such of singer Ian Bruce ahead of the London band’s March release of their debut album Puppet Loosely Strung THE CORRESPONDENTS ‘ ALARM CALL‘ The Correspondents have finally unleashed their much anticipated video for their new single, ‘ Alarm Call‘. Featuring a sensational series of oil portraits by frontman Mr. Bruce, the video uses time-lapse techniques to depict the moving story of two men growing up alongside one another over 20 years. The video and single have been created to raise awareness and funds for the Epilepsy Society.
The single is released 3rd February.Music by Animation. Biography The Correspondents consist of a singer by the name of Mr Bruce and a producer called Chucks. Both growing up in South London, they formed in 2007 and within two years had taken their hi-octane genre-blending dance music from house parties to festival main stages.
The show that quickly established the duo has one of the best live acts in the UK has Mr Bruce assuming the look of a monochrome matador, singing with force, scatting at speed and dancing like his life depends on it while Chucks takes the audience on a journey through a multitude of genres from jazz and blues to electro and drum’n’bass. For the last six years they have toured relentlessly. They have travelled the world bringing their unique live show to crowds as large as 12,000 earning themselves Telegraph’s ‘Top Ten Glastonbury Highlights’ two years in a row. And yet, in this time they have only released one EP called ‘What’s Happened to Soho?’, but an album is due in March 2014.This lack of releasing is not for a lack of making music. Their live sets are constantly evolving with regular insertions of new tracks. However it was not until they took an unexpected break from touring (when Mr Bruce broke a bone in his foot) that they spent a considerable chunk of time in the studio making a body of work they were happy with. Self produced, recorded and released, their long-awaited album ‘Puppet Loosely Strung’ features tracks that are synonymous with their trademark sound of unique, genre-mashing alternative pop proclaiming the highs and lows of love and lust.
But this release will also reveal a more introspective side of the pair with delicately produced songs that investigate personal loss. In the lead up to the album’s release The Correspondents have become renowned for their music videos that are consistently unique in style and pioneering in technique.Out on March 10th, 'Puppet Loosely Strung' is a wildly colourful mosaic of influences. Gradually pieced together, the album bears the hallmarks of those years on the road, years which have taken The Correspondents from the new talent tent to the main stage.

Now I'm not super familiar with a lot of the artists.

The video for ‘Fear and Delight’ was made using a ‘composite camera’ technique by visionary film-maker Naren Wilks, allowing numerous versions of Mr Bruce to dance kaleidoscopically in the same space.

And the visuals for the heartwrenching ballad, ‘Alarm Call’, were produced once again by the frontman, using time lapse and stop motion techniques to chart the lives of two characters over a 21 year period through a series of layered oil portraits. The latter was made to raise awareness and funds for The Epilepsy Society. The Correspondents are at an exciting point in their career where years worth of worldwide touring, musical experimentation and video production have come together with the release of their debut album.
The Correspondents occupy a curious position within the world of music. For the last four years they have toured relentlessly with an average of three gigs a week, they have travelled the world bringing their unique live show to crowds as large as 12,000 earning themselves Telegraph's 'Top Ten Glastonbury Highlights' two years in a row, but they haven't released an album until now.' Puppet Loosely Strung' is the long-awaited culmination of years of musical experience from the exceptionally talented duo, consisting of producer, Chucks, and singer, Mr Bruce. Those lucky enough to have witnessed their inimitable live show will be fully aware of the high voltage performances the pair are capable of. Their live sets are constantly evolving as they leap through a multitude of genres, tapping a history of dance music from jazz and blues to electro and drum 'n' bass.' Puppet Loosely Strung' sees the charismatic duo develop this unique sound that has garnered them so much acclaim on the live circuit and reveals the fascinating, multifaceted nature of their music. While a handful of tracks on the LP feature regularly on the group's tried and tested set list, including firm fan favourite 'Well Measured Vice', the other half of the album exposes another side of The Correspondents - one that is more introspective, contrasting with the highly-energetic, drum and bass inspired sound that thrills audiences worldwide.One need only listen to the first two singles to be taken from their debut to see the extent of the contrast on show here.
While 'Fear and Delight' sees the duo developing their trademark sound of upbeat, genre-mashing alternative pop, second single, 'Alarm Call', reveals itself to be a more personal and poignant affair and sees frontman Mr Bruce show the incredible range and tone of his voice.
