We at GMO-The Label are very excited to collaborate with the Irish band Sack and to present their single ‘Do You Need Love?’ as part of their current album ‘Wake Up People!’.
The Irish band Sack from Dublin returns with their new single “Do You Need Love?”. The track is the second release from their upcoming album Wake Up People!.
The song was produced by John (Spud) Murphy (Birds Of Olympus) alongside the band. Engineering was handled by Ber Quinn (John Grant, The Divine Comedy, Villagers) at Dublin’s Sonic Studios, while mixing was done by Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, The Who, Kylie, Ocean Colour Scene).
Wake Up People! will be released on the band’s own label, Jetset Junta, and is their first album of new material since Adventura Majestica in 2001.
John Brereton describes the song: “Do You Need Love? Yes, we all need love, but how easy is it really to find it as time goes by? Are you perhaps at a point where you no longer care?”
Adhamh O’Caoimh from The Goo comments: “‘Do You Need Love?’ opens with a sun-kissed synthesizer flair before Martin McCann’s warm, even voice enriches the summery track with ironic wordplay and a smooth baritone. The long break between releases hasn’t harmed the band — this song builds to a dense and joyful climax.”
Still Searching is the first single from the third FANATICO X album Beneath Your Feet, which will be released in autumn. The track is a reworking of the song Searching, which singer Jorge Socarrás wrote in the early 80s with then bassist Bob Hoffnar for their former band Indoor Life. Searching was first released on the second Indoor Life album in 1983, and in two more versions on a 1985 EP produced by Mike Thorne (Wire, Soft Cell, Bronski Beat, etc). Continuing the song’s evolution, Mathias Schaffhäuser transports the composition to the present day, making new references to the Hi-NRG and disco that influenced the original. The result is Still Searching, a highly energized song version that connects the decades on different levels - maximally condensed in the radio edit, and multi-layered in the album version.
In his club mix, Mathias concentrates on the technoid, abstract middle section of the song, steering the original's center of gravity further leftfield.

With Holiday from My Head, Tylee presents a debut album that is both personal and universal. Recorded in a cabin in the woods in the Netherlands, the album radiates an intimate, almost magical atmosphere. In one of the songs, you can even hear the birds chirping, which makes the recording location unforgettable. Tylee's music combines indie pop and indie rock, blending melancholic melodies with energetic rhythms to create a captivating and approachable sound.
Tylee's music can be categorized within the indie-pop genre, featuring clear singer-songwriter and rock elements. Influenced by her love for 70s music, her recordings are intentionally kept simple—authentic and approachable. Artists like PJ Harvey, David Bowie, and The Clash have significantly shaped her work. Additionally, her music is often compared to that of Lana Del Rey or Mazzy Star.

"Griotoubab" – a neologism forged together from the Senegalese terms "Griot" and "Toubab". The Griot are the Senegalese caste of musicians, bards, and storytellers, whom Pape Samory Seck and his family belong to. "Toubab" simply means: "white person".
Time and time again over the course of his musical career, Colognian Jazz pianist Mike Herting meets artists from Senegal, sharing both stages and recording studios with them. The rich percussion tradition of the Griot in particular, with their complex, mantra-esque rhythms proves to him a continued fascination. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2021, the idea of a crossover project in cooperation with the Germany-based Griot family Seck is born. The idea is to fuse these traditional Senegalese rhythms with western Jazz sounds: Griot and Toubab, side by side, sharing the same stage.
The results of this fusion can be heard on their new album "Salam Aleikum".

In "ton chien" (Your Dog), Raphaël delivers a humorous yet ironic reflection on desperate love affairs, where one turns into a howling "I wanna be your... dog" just to get "one more bone to chew on."
With a bluesy touch in the music and a wink in the lyrics, the band oscillates between the emotional worlds of love and disappointment.

"C'est de l'amour, mon Cologne, même si tu es comme la peste."
"It's love, my Cologne, even if you're like the plague.
Raphaël expresses this apparent contradiction in the very first verse of the newly released single "Cologne, mon amour", striking a chord with at least 80% of Cologne’s residents. Anyone who lives in Cologne knows what love-hate means—without ever having been in a relationship.
If you're not from Cologne, don't feel left out! You’re warmly invited to replace "Cologne" with the name of an (ex-)loved one—for research purposes, of course!
