Since first deciding to release original albums here, I intended blocSonic to release an eclectic range of music and with each new original, I think we’re reinforcing that intention. Since the beginning I’ve been amazed at the caliber of artists that have either approached us or agreed to release through us. Liam Stewart is yet another in an amazing roster of artists that are showing listeners that the world of netaudio is not something to ignore. With his incredible “Sixteen Words”, you’re presented another album that will make some wonder how on Earth is it that it wasn’t released by a traditional label. That’s the state of the music industry… labels are only releasing "marketable" products that they can shove into a pre-packaged formulaic box. If artists want to create ART and speak THEIR voice, then there’s no room for them. So artists are forced (I feel, for the better of music and artistry in general) to forge their own paths. Liam’s path has led him to blocSonic and I am grateful for the opportunity. Liam’s sound is one that is pop of a British flavor… you may call it Britpop or leftfield pop or some other quick and neat genre label, but the reality of it is more complex than that. “Sixteen Words” contains many characteristics… pop, rock, electronic & synth-pop. At times it may remind you of Pink Floyd or Roger Waters, Tears For Fears or some current indie-artist that you may dig. Whatever it sounds like to you, what I’m quite sure you’ll find is that this is memorable music that’s going to stick with you for years to come. It isn’t plastic music made for the masses, it’s contemplative music crafted for music lovers who crave albums that aren’t trying to fit in.

“Bird Of Prey” is your first taste of what Liam Stewart and blocSonic have in store for you with the release of the album “Sixteen Words” on November 30th. If you dig indie-pop music packed with lush melodies, moody vocals and a rock edge then you definitely need to check the album when it drops! Liam’s sound lies somewhere between Tears for Fears, Pink Floyd & 90s brit-pop… a sound that’s been forged from years of music-making that dates back to the 80s post punk outfit, Creatures of Habit. This is seriously infectious pop music… not to be missed! As with all of our previous maxBloc singles, “Bird Of Prey” is packed with non-album exclusives — a previously unreleased demo called “Coals” and a diverse collection of remixes. Remixes from blocSonic regulars — Tha Silent Partner, dustmotes & mGee — as well as a couple new names — Chris Rhodes Jr. and Lyndon Scarfe. Also included is another taste of the forthcoming album via cyberneticnoisefly’s video for the title track “Sixteen Words”… be sure to check it.
