Coney Island Sound is a new project started by Ewan that mixes found sounds and field recordings with a variety of acoustic and vintage instruments. Accordions and Harps rub shoulders with Casios and Kaoss Pads whilst 808 kicks underpin percussive sounds from found beach items and purchases from local hardware and thrift stores.

Less experimental musical endeavours with his previous group Olympic Lifts, produced a number of well received releases on Bungalow Records Berlin, Escalator & Syft Records in Japan. His music has more recently appeared on the group’s follow up album and other ex Olympian Mark’s Butternut project (both Rimeout Japan). During this time they played and dj’d extensively across Europe with the electronic acts including Royksopp, Notwist, Ladytron, Mina, Four-Tet, Lo-Fidelity Allstars, Hip Hop acts Ugly Duckling and Cool Herc plus occasional stadium rock bands along the way.

On its way on September 22nd is the debut single “Introducing Mr.Kellogg” backed with the soft drink sampling “The Lemonade Song”. This is their first release on the Radio 1 DIY Label of the Week Regular Beat Recording Company. Based in Liverpool it’s releases have been championed by the likes of John Peel, Steve Lamaq & Huw Stephens along the way and have most recently included Alaska in Winter and Marianne Dissard.

An album is being recorded over the summer and will include, table hockey percussion, electronic sea shanties, arrangements of music from Night of the Hunter and perhaps the odd dvelopment of a Ruth Etting song.
