Coney Island Sound

Coney Island Sound is a new project started by Ewan that mixes found sounds and field recordings with a variety of acoustic and vintage instruments. Accordions and Harps rub shoulders with Casios and Kaoss Pads whilst 808 kicks underpin percussive sounds from found beach items and purchases from local hardware and thrift stores.
The debut single "Introducing Mr.Kellogg" was released on September 22nd backed with the soft drink sampling "The Lemonade Song". This is the first release on the Radio 1 DIY Label of the Week Regular Beat Recording Company. Based in Liverpool its releases have been championed by the likes of John Peel, Steve Lamaq & Huw Stephens along the way and have most recently included Alaska in Winter and Marianne Dissard.
To date both sides of the single have picked up radio plays on BBC6, BBC Radio 2, XFM, BBC Northern Ireland, British Forces Radio, Resonance FM and College Radio in CanadaLive sessions to come when I get my act togetherso to speak.
