Speedy Wunderground

Speedy Wunderground is a record label founded by Dan Carey, Alexis Smith, and Pierre Hall. The label's unique approach includes recording all releases in one day at Dan's South London studio, with minimal overdubs to maintain a raw sound. Each recording will be limited to 250 7" vinyls and released as soon as possible after completion. Speedy Wunderground works quickly to minimize delays between recording and release, ensuring the records don't gather dust on shelves. At the end of each year, the label compiles that year's recordings into an album. With its fast-paced production process and commitment to quality music, Speedy Wunderground is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

Next in line to join the prestigious Speedy Wunderground alumni are DIY stalwarts Tummyache, the brainchild of prolific producer / singer songwriter Soren Bryce. The project started in 2018 after Bryce decided to switch gears from a solo career to a more band focused project. Their first EP "Humpday" which was released in 2019 was recorded in between Nashville and New York in a DIY fashion, and SOAK the debut album that came out in 2022 was produced and engineered by Bryce in her parent's backyard shed with some remote help from friends on bass and drums.

‘We’ve been fans for a while’ says Speedy co-runner Pierre Hall – after being introduced to their music via fellow Speedy signings Honeyglaze. ‘We loved it immediately and aside from her obvious talent Soren’s whole ethos really seemed to fit in with ours.’

The resulting track ‘Circling the Drain’ is a melodic, assured statement of real beauty – channelling early PJ Harvey, The Bends-era Radiohead as well as Kriston Hersh and Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker. ‘It definitely feels different to anything we’ve put out on the single series previously’ continues Hall, ‘but in a good way – I feel like it occupies the same space of bits we’ve done outside of it – like Honeyglaze – or something from the Tiña album. It’s refreshing.’
