The debut album "Weird Sister" is out now on Slumberland Records (US) & Fortuna Pop! (UK)

LP/CD: smarturl.it/jgws-album
iTunes: smarturl.it/jgws-itunes

Thrilling Cardiff-based noisepop five-piece Joanna Gruesome will be releasing their terrific debut album via Fortuna POP! (Europe) and Slumberland (USA) in September. Brimming with irresistible pop melodies and spiked with dissonant fuzzy jangle, their songs are shot through with loud discordant feedback and super-fast, hardcore punk drumbeats. This album sees their first foray away from recording in a living room to a proper studio under the guidance of producer MJ of the much lauded Hookworms.

Kicking it against sexism and homophobia, nothing is off-limits, drawing inspiration from DIY scenes such as Riot Grrrl/noisepop/C86 /K Records as well as post hardcore like Drive Like Jehu/Converge and the art rock of The Velvet Underground and My Bloody Valentine, Joanna Gruesome offer a staggeringly diverse album, unexpectedly quiet and surprisingly loud.

Joanna Gruesome comprise Alanna on vocals, Owen on guitar, Max on bass, George on guitar and Dave on drums. They all met in an anger management counseling group. During the course they were told that writing, making music, dancing or painting could relieve tension and help reduce feelings of anger. One initiative involved a project where they were assigned a group to compose and perform a song in front of other members. Initially they found each other infuriating but gradually acknowledged their musical chemistry and decided to continue with the band outside the therapy group.

Most of the album was written during a month long stay in a seedy west Brighton hotel (now closed down) called The Hell House. The residents were pretty strange, kept attempting occult rituals/using Ouija boards etc and many of the songs were written to distract from the weirdness. Heart-wrenching and exhilarating in equal measure, these are not cheerful songs.

Awash with nods to mental illness and the dark recesses of the mind, the record is littered with references to the devil or zombies and allusions to comic books. “Secret Surprise”, in which mental illness takes a physical form and is fought using razor blades. Or "Anti-Parent Cowboy Killers," which is about stealing a scooter and driving it into the ocean when you should be in school LEARNING. Or "Sugarcrush," about spending a summer burning knitwear.

They have built-up a phenomenal live reputation, blending obnoxiously loud guitars and the occasional band uniform, with a high energy performance dispersed with quieter reflection, boy/girl vocals and teenage angst.

“Abrasion, anger, attitude. One guitarist is in the audience, but this isn’t too much of a stretch. There are slower parts where the musicians take a second to breath. There are noisier bits where the musicians take a second to reflect. There are thumpy bits where the musicians take a second to dance and enjoy themselves. Everyone’s smiling. Everyone’s hugging themselves. What a glorious mess of a noise to be a part of. What a glorious sense of community.” Everett True, Collapse Board

"A brilliant band from Cardiff who love their fuzzy melodies and songs dripped in scuzzy reverb." Huw Stephens, Radio One.

TR/ST is the musical project of Toronto artist Robert Alfons.

After years of extensive touring, and garnering glowing praise from top international critics at Pitchfork, VICE, and The Guardian UK for the 2012 Juno-nominated debut album 'TRST', the follow up album 'Joyland' will be released by Arts & Crafts on March 4, 2014.

'Joyland' is an eruption of guts, eels, and joy.

Pre-order: http://www.galleryac.com/trust-joyland.html

- "'Rescue, Mister' features a slightly clarified sound compared to TRST's grinding grit, with some impressive vocal acrobatics from Alfons.” - Pitchfork
- "'Rescue, Mister' is harder and clubbier and more concrete than anything on TRST, but it keeps some fundamental darkness intact.” -Stereogum
- "'Rescue, Mister' proves that Alfons's lost none of his synth craftmanship, sending disco-pop through a crazed, futuregasm vortex.” - This is Fake DIY

Lyrics:
I will not cave under you
for my heart is an unending tomb
i will not trouble your rest
for my heart is infinity blessed

ever a hard rot
cut from an ancient cloth of old

someone is ringing a bell
it chimes through this shimmering shell
that once was my vision of birth
now is my vessel and curse

heat from the tall lamp
melting the outer wax that holds
blood from a deep cut
some of the reddest stuff to flow

sometimes my hands they don't feel like my own
i need someone to love i need someone to hold

Lyrics:
We're gonna shake the ground tonight
I lose myself under the lights, oh
I put my hands up to the sky
I feel it come alive

Everybody get golden
Everybody get golden
and put your hands up to the sky
Everybody get golden
just for tonight
Everybody get golden
so we can go until we shine

Now it's as good as it can get
Silver hills and silhouettes, oh
You press your hands against my chest
This isn't over yet

Everybody get golden
Everybody get golden
and put your hands up to the sky
Everybody get golden
just for tonight
Everybody get golden
so we can go until we shine

Just for tonight
and put your hands up to the sky
Just for tonight
so we can go until we shine

Everybody get golden
Everybody get golden
and put your hands up to the sky
Everybody get golden
just for tonight
Everybody get golden
so we can go until we shine

I feel it come alive
so we can go until we shine
I feel it come alive
so we can go until we shine

Concreté Misery - LP • http://smarturl.it/LM020



LuckyMe are very proud to present the ‘Concreté Misery’ LP from Sevendeaths.
Sevendeaths is the music of Steven Shade. Based in Edinburgh he has spent many years as a collaborator and band member in various projects on the experimental fringes of the Scottish Rock scene - most notably with early LuckyMe signing 'Americanmen' alongside Claude Speeed, Eunoia’s Ali Lloyd and Danananaykroyd’s Paul Carlin.

With Concreté Misery, Shade takes a different tact. A solitary affair written then adapted in long sprawling generative environments, testing the limits of conventional DAWs. The LP features 6 expansive compositions of deep, evolving programmed synth work. No guitars. No pedals. This is an agonizing record drawn out of processors. Moments of sparkling arpeggiators disappear between long plates of dissonant drone; then emerge again, clambering their way to the light. At once claustrophobic & personal and grandiose & distant – this is a record that hangs in a delicate balance.

With opener Petrograde finding its way into the sets of Rustie & Hudson Mohawke - the writer of these pieces has often been speculated upon. We are now proud to bring you a full digital release available with all good retailers. 

We have also produced a select range of physical editions of Screen Prints & Tees derived from the album artwork by Dominic Flannigan.

Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International
Release date: MARCH 18, 2014

Purchase "Awake": http://shop.iso50.com/collections/awake

formats:
CD/LP/DIGITAL

artwork by:
ISO50

For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of Awake – his second LP for Ghostly International – the solo project has evolved into a three-piece band. Relating closer to post-rock than ambient soundscapes, the record is situated in the present, sounding more like Hansen than drawing from his influences. “This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record.”

Following 2011’s Dive LP, the San Francisco-based designer toured extensively, and with a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) rejoined Scott on the road for this tour, but it was the particular addition of Rory O’Connor’s live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision. “After the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album,” Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho’s creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond its current sound.

In a cabin near Tahoe last winter, Zac and Scott began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn’t until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with Rory that it all fell into place. “It crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record,” says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with more organic instruments in the fold. Songs like “Montana” and “Awake” are a departure from Tycho’s previous material – unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record – while “See” and “Dye” echo ideas from previous works, bridging a middle ground between the old and new. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might previously layer under synthesizers and exhume them with distinct bass and guitar patterns.

Also known for his design work as ISO50, Hansen’s visual and sonic efforts have dovetailed throughout the course of his career. “This is the first time in my life I've dropped everything to focus on one artistic pursuit,” notes Hansen. Previous Tycho releases came to fruition when an amalgam of songs were nearing completion, but Awake is where music becomes the focus and true expression becomes the result.
