Oriel Records

Oriel records presents <i>Smoke and Dreams</i>, the first album in 30 years by Glasgow Demi-Gods, Hipsway. Musically, influences cover the art-pop of Bowie and Radiohead to the earthy funk of the Meters and much more besides.

Recorded in 3 x 3 day bursts over the winter/spring of 2018 the album was recorded ‘old style’ with all the musicians crammed together in one room striving for the best unified take of each track and allowing a continuity of sound, where stylistically, the tunes may differ starkly. Thematically the songs are about deception - be that by ‘the self’ or on a grander ‘fake news’ scale, hence the album title. Nostalgia plays its part in a let’s-learn-from-our-mistakes attitude.
