gLab

Limited Edition 7" Vinyl

Delivery is the debut release of the indie/electronic trio gLab. Based out of an obscure repair shop in Dublin, Ireland, the single features the title track “Delivery” on the A side and the grown-up “Itsy Bitsy Spider Song” on the B side.  

Delivery is vinyl pressed in limited edition of 250, and includes a free digital download. Both songs were recorded and produced by Dubliner Martin Clancy, artist in residence at Seaport Music Records, who weaves a curious story of how the band, and record, came to be.  

About the Band
gLab is Greg G, aka “Mr. G” of Mr. G Repairs (vox), Allie Jerome (vox) and Martin Clancy (music).  The trio first met as Clancy, in the midst of a trans-Atlantic musical project with the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra, found himself in need of a Saviour to rescue his digital music files from a waterlogged, and seemingly dead, laptop he accidentally dropped into a storm drain.  The files needed to be sent to the U.S. by that evening.  Panicked, Clancy stumbled into a coffee shop where he found a phone booth and a tattered book of yellow pages bearing the date 1999.  Flipping through the pages, Clancy spotted a small tombstone ad that read, “Mr. G Repairs…pretty much anything.”  

After a quick call, Clancy found himself in a battered old Belingo van heading through the Dublin Mountains in the company of Mr. G.  The pair ended up at an old brick warehouse -- both a repair shop and home for Mr. G, and a one Ms. Allie Jerome.  With the laptop dismantled on a workbench piled with discarded motherboards and a sundry electronic parts, the musical contents of the all-important files became known, which lead to the appearance of a karaoke machine. The rest of the afternoon merged into one surreal memory, with Clancy recording the musical noises of Mr. G’s improvisational verse derived from a Japanese server manual and sung through copper tubing, and Allie’s percussive accompaniment on a martini glass while continually shouting "oh oh oh oh,” and thus becoming gLab.  

Today, Clancy returns regularly to the warehouse to write and record with Allie and Mr. G – who, respectively, mix and pour musical libations and offer online repairs for all manner of electronic devices. Information on gLab, as well as the retail sale of a series of bespoke inverters, motherboard testers and laptop chargers, is available at www.gLab.cc.

Loose Limbs

Limited Edition 7" Vinyl Single (Includes Red Hands Remix by Martin Clancy)

This limited edition 7-inch vinyl (only 250 pressed!) release features three tracks. The A-side includes "Red Hands" and "Underdog," both recorded and co-produced at The Wild Arctic studio (Long Island City) with engineer/ producer Dean Baltulonis (presently producing The Hold Steady's latest record).

The flip side features a remix of "Red Hands" by musician and producer Martin Clancy. Seaport Music Records commissioned Clancy to create, collaborate, and produce a series of releases for the label in 2010-11.  Loose Limbs is comprised of bassist Arthur Gandy, guitarist/ vocalist Corinne Caouette and drummer Michael Peterson.  Hailing from Minneapolis, Gandy played previously with Chariots and Exercise, while Caouette performed with Faux Jean, Le Cirque Rouge, and provided vocals for the likes of Jessy Greene (Jayhawks, Wilco, Foo Fighters) and rap artist Dessa (Doomtree).
