Spoken Label

Latest Spoken Label Podcast is with the Author Michelle Cox, author of the Henrietta and Inspector Howard series.as well as “Novel Notes of Local Lore,” a weekly blog dedicated to Chicago’s forgotten residents.  She suspects she may have once lived in the 1930s and, having yet to discover a handy time machine lying around, has resorted to writing about the era as a way of getting herself back there."

Her series 'Henrietta and Inspector Howard' is described as "“Downton Abbey meets Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries!”

“Henrietta and Clive are a sexy, endearing, and downright fun pair of sleuths. Readers will not see the final twist coming.” ―Library Journal, starred review

“Fans of spunky, historical heroines will love Henrietta Von Harmon.” ―Booklist, starred review

“Henrietta and Inspector Howard are the best pair of sleuths I’ve come across in ages. A fantastic start to what is sure to be a long running series.” ―Tasha Alexander, New York Times bestselling author

Latest Podcast from Spoken Label

The Session is split into two parts on this recording, the first of which we talk about the history of her writing / music / creative projects and the second where we talk about some of her published works and she performs a short selection of work. 

Latest from Spoken Label the excellent Jo Harker Shaw.

Latest Spoken Label session features Stephen Coates from  the wonderful The Real Tuesday Weld talking about their new album 'Blood',

the first in a final trilogy of new albums that the band will be releasing throughout 2021 into 2022. 

Stephen Coates formed The Real Tuesday Weld in 2001 (after a dream of the actress Tuesday Weld) pioneering a style he dubbed 'Antique Beat',

a combination of old jazz sounds and electronics that was to influence the emerging electro-swing scene. Reluctant scene-joiners themselves, 

the band run their own label, working with writers, animators and filmmakers and on a variety of commissioned arts projects.

They tour worldwide - often playing to animated backgrounds in venues including churches, museums, parks, galleries, buses and crypts - 

but they have remained cult and critical, rather than commercial, favourites despite multi-million youtube plays, film placements and multiple awards.

Their music has been used in many films, TV series and art installations and their collaborations with animators have proved enduringly popular, 

particularly the genre bending, multi-award-winning Bathtime in Clerkenwell and The Crooner series that has spawned a whole catalogue of fan art.

"Utterly unique, utterly delightful" THE TELEGRAPH

"These heart-pricking songs speak to us all” WORD

“Superbly atmospheric” UNCUT

"An English-speaking Serge Gainsbourg rolling around Tin Pan Alley with synthesizer in hand." THE NEW YORKER

"Wildly inventive and completely miserable, a fascinating combination of old-timey jazz and modern-day electronica, drenched in heartbreak and despair. in a hushed, nioctine-bu ed purr" SF WEEKLY

“A sly witty, cinematic fusion of contemporary styles with classic elements of Serge Gainsbourg and Burt Bacharach” NEWSDAY

" The P.G. Wodehouse of electro-pop, or the Cole Porter of modern cool, superbly arranged, wickedly clever textures and beats will set your toes to tapping, but its bittersweet melodies will linger for days and weeks' LA WEEKLY
