When we are now scheduling “design roundups” it means we are getting close! 🤪

Will there be a CD?
Maybe.
Will there be a cassette?
Fuck yeah.

The biggest problem with having a creative brain? We're already sketching out the next music collaboration while the last one isn't even out yet. Our brains are officially two-timers, and we’re here for it.

Welp, misspelled our own band’s name up above, hilarious.

Here’s an add to this thread of songs and bands that influenced our process while recording the new Rey Late Relics album, OURORA. The Vernon Spring puts elegant sounds at the forefront. We get smashed by the deepest tones in this song. 🛢️

Bonus How To Dress Well song - this video for the song Ready for the World, by Jamie Harley - a Paris-based found footage film maker. Look at how much depth there is in this shattering and simple story. youtu.be/-aR0zxA4lK4?...

We’re back with an influential track that helped shape our upcoming album, Ourora. The work of Tom Krell as How To Dress Well is a fascinating catalogue of soundscape, R&B vocalization, and horizon-wide production. In short, we 💙. music.apple.com/us/album/wor...

We just love the clash of sounds and textures within the framework of the repeating bass notes - and that deep hum in there.

Another beautiful short song that lent inspiration to the first Very Late Relics album - Ourora (forthcoming), Avondale Primer Gray. You can find it on his album released on the Atlanta based Geographic North label. Perfect cover art by visionary Farbod Kokabi!

Here’s another beautiful and inspiring track from Nell Smith (RIP) and The Flaming Lips - The Ship Song, by Nick Cave. Listen to the reverb on the vocals and the bass. Big shout to Dave Fridmann who mixed it just right.

There’s also a shorter film edit from the opening scene for the movie Drive that made it into one of our personal playlists:

Next up in the Very Late Relics inspired by thread, a song by Chromatics called A Tick of the Clock. This song hit in 2007 on their 3rd album, Night Drive. We were drawn to the production on this track and the heavy night vibes as different instruments dip in and out. music.apple.com/us/album/tic...

Ural Thomas and The Pain - If It Wasn’t For Love ❤️💛💚 This song is a simple soul masterpiece. It’s got one verse, no chorus, and minimal instrumentation - something we’ve really taken to in our soon to be released songs. The legend, Ural Thomas. music.apple.com/us/album/if-...

🧵🪡 While we are waiting for our first album to be released we thought it would be fun to share some of our inspiration for the overall album, OURORA. This is where you’ll find more and more links to show what’s going through our heads. -Allan Redd and Ted Hille, Very Late Relics.

Adding all the metadata to the music files for this album is so draining. #music #pita
