Elizabeth Fraser - Moses 12" Single In Stores February 16th
In celebration of the life of Jake Drake-Brockman, Elizabeth Fraser releases the benefit single, ‘Moses’.
A close personal friend of both Elizabeth and her partner and musical collaborator, Damon Reece (Spiritualized, Massive Attack, Echo and the Bunnymen, Bom), Jake was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident last September. Elizabeth and Damon feel that the passing of such a wonderful man and great friend cannot go unmarked.
A pivotal member of Echo and the Bunnymen, Bom and The Hook ‘Em Boys and, latterly, a highly respected sound recordist for the BBC, Jake was a beautiful human being and adventurer who profoundly touched the lives of all who had the privilege to know him.
Moses’ was written and performed by Jake, Elizabeth and Damon and is backed with two re-mixes: the first by Thighpaulsandra (Julian Cope, Spiritualized, Coil) and the second by Andy Jenks (previously of Alpha and presently of the Flies, Spaceland).
Moses is available in very limited numbers on UK import heavy weight 12” vinyl.
The track’s soundscape will set you swirling, with archaic sounding choral samples amid dub rhythms and Eastern European accordion melodies while Fraser’s voice sails across the mix in unearthly fashion.
Thighpaulsandra offer a sympathetic electronic reworking while Spaceland cast a gloomy, more organic production.
