ULTRAMARINE - Find A Way

















Latest addition to the WNCL stable, ULTRAMARINE, are back with a vengeance. Forthcoming 7" release, Find A Way, on REAL SOON (run by one half of Ultramarine, Paul Hammond) is already receiving well-deserved rave reviews:

... as earthy and organic, feels very much (a)live and seems as influenced by outer-city life as ever before. What it isn't, though, is techno. Refreshing stuff...
Resident Advisor

... marks a stealthy return to recording following some recent live dates. The feel is coolly tropical ... Will this have you salivating in anticipation of the group's future work? Possibly, though Ultramarine are far too nice to be associated with anything as vulgar as saliva. 
Wire 

... although I suspect those of you that have already heard the clips of their trax for WNCL008 are already drooling.


Check the clips for the Real Soon 7"
