Notes

A 5-track CD EP from The Golden Retrievers who supported Rumer at her concert at The Barbican Centre in London on 24 February 2015. Rumer is on backing vocals on this CD.

The CD is available from Nightowl, an artist development and production company, record label and international store set up in 2014 by Rumer, under the guidance of long standing music industry professional Ann Marie Shields.

This is taken from the Nightowl website:

The ‘Proud’ EP was recorded in Steve Winwood’s studios alongside, in part, Brian Ferry’s chief engineer. The band pieced the record together while holding down day jobs: Wright works as a psychotherapist in mental health care, and Dunning as a teacher.

This is no romantic, nostalgia drive back to a golden era: lyrics are sourced from the everyday, un-exotic realities of work and relationships. Beneath the effortless harmonies and seemingly laid-back tone of the new EP, there simmers a quiet emotional depth. Title track ‘Proud’ was inspired by Wright’s grandmothers, who passed away following long battles with dementia, and reflects not only the pride in knowing them but the fact that “men of our generation were often taught that grief was something to be ashamed of. I wanted to express pride that I felt such massive sadness, because that’s a mark of how valuable the connections were.” Elsewhere, the gossamer-light ‘A Way To Change’ is in fact about being stuck with a dead-end job; ‘Maybe’ is an expression of support for a suffering friend; the beautiful, piano-led ‘Into This Life’ describes dealing with loneliness; and ‘A Thought That I Misplaced’ looks at how we relate to events in our past and the tendency to self-mythologise.
