Latitudes
A series of Southern Studios session recordings.
Latitudes began as a simple concept, to put the bands we work with in touch with our studio and to release the resulting material. Swiftly we agreed it would be a great idea to offer our favourite bands - many of them passing through London as part ot their tour - the opportunity to spend some time recording something spontaneous, collaborative, fun or experimental in our studio. Whatever the band wants to achieve in a few days essentially - something truly transient, imaginative and unique. Something we hoped to capture in the aesthetic of the resulting record - something with boundless creative scope and freedom - specific to a certain time and space - something with latitude.

Racebannon
10 tracks 43 minutes. All hail the triumphant return of Racebannon! Brutal, shredding album so intense it may cause your speakers to spray blood. Towels not included.
release date: (2008-06-02)
Asva
Helmed by Stuart Dahlquist, formerly of Burning Witch, Goatsnake and Sunn0))), and recorded with the cream of the Pacific North West's rich musical talent, including members of Burning Witch, Mr. Bungle and Earth. This is a lyricless album of immense personal meaning to its creator, giving a very real sense of catharsis for both listener and performers alike. But there's also real hope and resolution at its core.
release date: (2008-05-05)
Mothlite
Glorytellers
10 tracks 34 minutes. Featuring Geoff Farina of Karate these songs have a similar stream-of-consciousness style while drawing influence from singer-songwriter contemporaries.
