Nettwerk One Publishingartist Michael Hadres, akaPerfume Genius, will release his new album Put Your Back N 2 It on February 20, 2012 UK label Organs (Turnstile).His debut LP Learning, released in 2010, firmly established Seattle native Hadreas as one of the most singular new voices in music, winning plaudits across the pond, including Guardian, Dazed and Confused and Mojo in the UK, and Pitchfork, Spin Magazine, Interview and more in the US.
Where Learning was stark and confessional however, Put Your Back N 2 It is lush and universal. It sees an expansion of both his thematic and sonic palette, playing as a broad meditation on intimacy, power, family, secrecy and hope, not just through his impressionistic lyrics, but also through the music itself. Check out the taster track “All Waters” here. Perfume Genius will also be heading over to the UK for a clutch of highly anticipated live dates in the spring.

Released yesterday, Boots Met My Face by Nettwerk One’s Scottish quintet Admiral Fallow, is a joyous, heart-filled, orchestral-tinged and beautifully well-crafted album. Released earlier this year in the UK, the band received tremendous praises, including BBC, NPR, MOJO and Paste Magazine.
Comprised of lead singer and main writer Louis Abbott, Sarah Hayes, Joe Rattray, Kevin Brolly and Philip Hague, their sets go from simple voice and guitar compositions ("Four Bulbs"), through stomping Wilco-esque tunes to riotous cacophonies of white noise (see "Squealing Pigs" above); their songs about alienation within relationships and experiences of “youth” itself are sung and screamed with utter abandon while the band works themselves into a furious frenzy.

Nettwerk One Music (NW1) is pleased to announce the creation of a new publishing joint venture with Revelry Music Group in Nashville. The partnership combines Nettwerk international administrative and funding support for the creative team at Revelry--AJ Burton, Greg Gallo and LA-based finance partner Cory Schuelke.

Nettwerk One (NW1), the publishing arm of Nettwerk Music Group, and Island Records Australia have teamed up for a Writer Retreat in Ubud, Bali from May 30, 2010 – June 10, 2010, with some of the hottest established and up-and-coming artists, writers, and producers from around the globe.
Peter Coquillard of NW 1 says, “Ubud is truly Bali’s pre-eminent center for fine arts, dance and music. When Michael Taylor, Head of Island Records Australia, and I were discussing putting together a exceptional retreat in a truly unique place, we couldn’t think of a more vibrant, creative and inspiring place to conduct it.”
Michael Taylor of Island Records Australia says, “Creating a unique and special environment for artists and writers to work together undoubtedly brings about special songs, and that’s the goal of this Bali writing retreat. With this caliber of song-writing talent and artistry, and with the beautiful surroundings of Ubud, great music and collaborations are bound to come forth.”

“We are excited to help spread the word about such excellent Upper Class artists as The Russian Futurists and DVAS,” says Mark Jowett of NW1. “Orly (Bohbot) and Gareth (Jones) have super ears and have latched on to and helped develop some very promising artists, and we believe that NW1 can further help in this process.”
Toronto-based Upper Class was created in 2000 and has developed into a full-fledged management firm, record label and publishing house with an international reputation for producing unique and exciting music and artists. “Its roster seems to produce blissed-out electronic pop masterpieces like an assembly line.” (Lostatsea.net)
