Edwyn Collins and James Endeacott are preparing to launch their new label Analogue Enhanced Digital.
Edwyn Collins has been many things in his life: indie icon, pop star, cult hero and the Chieftain of the Helmsdale Highland Games. Now the singer is set to realise an ambition and take charge of his own label.
The singer’s career has been dogged with battles against major labels, and now Edwyn Collins aims to create his own kingdom. Sparked by a conversation with legendary A&R man James Endeacott, the pair decided to launch their own label.
Analogue Enhanced Digital opens with four singles, one for each week in October. The line up spans the globe, with the roster already including groups from Canterbury, Vienna, Frankfurt and Argyll.
The full line up is as follows:
AED 0001: BROKEN HANDS. Brother / What You’ve Taken. Out 3/10/11
AED 0002: ROTIFER. Canvey Island / The Frankfurt Kitchen (Electric Version).
Out 10/10/11
AED 0003: WIDE SEA. A Place to Call Home / London Nights. Out 17/10/11
AED 0004: LINDEN. Brown Bird Singing / If I Had Wings. Out 24/10/11
