Jeremy Gluck and Paul Hazel Release New Album


Jeremy Gluck and Paul Hazel release the fantastic new album #EBDB. One single titled KMKY features a clever cover of Knowing Me Knowing You originally released by ABBA.

The #EBDB Story
In the midst of his navigation of art college, one day short on inspiration and scrolling through
Instagram, Gluck was struck by the sense that “everything’s been done before”, and so the acronymic hashtag that titles this album was born. Then making a body of work dedicated to the proposition – a series directly an homage to Warhol and his Factory, and celebrating copyism, crass appropriation, art theft, and lazy creativity – Gluck thereafter saved the idea for further exploitation, the ideal opportunity for which presented itself when this album was being made. With Hazel a fellow Warhol head proving the perfect foil, the concept of an album that all art is created easy took shape and the collaboration ensued that today brings you seven pieces of traitorous sonic silver. In the sale of the soul, everything must go, and in this pursuit #EBDB is a volume dealer.

Recording artist, digital fine artist, and prolific electronic music and video art collaborator, Jeremy Gluck is perhaps best known as lead singer of cult surf-punk band The Barracudas, the subject of a recently released 3CD retrospective on Cherry Red Records. As a solo artist he has had songs covered by artists such as Lydia Lunch and Rowland S. Howard (The Birthday Party, Crime and the City Solution, These Immortal Souls), and Nikki Sudden (Swell Maps), with whom two latter artists he recorded the first supergroup alt. country album, ‘I Knew Buffalo Bill’ in 1987. In 1997 Gluck began a journey into experimental electronica that
led to him working with some of the genre’s leading lights, including Martin Rev, Brendan Moeller, Dub Gabriel, and Youth.

Paul Hazel is a music producer and multi-instrumentalist. He has studied electro-acoustic composition with Simon Emmerson and the ‘Search and Reflect’ method with free jazz drummer John Stevens. He has had many releases on labels such as Rising High, Rotation, Inspiral, 2Kool, Welsh Modular Alliance, and SWND. As part of the band Blue Train he hit the Billboard dance charts with Get Movin’ on Masters At Work. He has composed and produced the music for a number of commercial films and TV programmes. Short films of his own have been exhibited in Japan, Venice, and Wales.
