CYMBALS will launch their album with a headline show in London in February.
2nd Feb 2014 - Electrowerkz, London - www.wegottickets.com/event/246573

<b>Press release</b>
The long-awaited new album from CYMBALS is named after a book by Princeton academic, Daniel T. Rodgers, which addresses the fragmentation of ideas towards the end of the last century and how collective meanings have become uncertain.  Singer and guitarist Jack Cleverly writes: "It hit me that I often feel paralysed by the feeling that everything is 'too complicated', and that many people I know feel that paralysis. I realised that this way of thinking can be traced through these songs." 

Produced by Dreamtrak (Swim Deep, Chad Valley, Hot Chip) in his Hackney studio and written collectively over the last 12-months, the group have taken their time to carefully piece the album together, song-by-song, in sequence. The album was completed following a final mix from Daniel Rejmer (Foals, Everything Everything) and the result is testament to the band’s attention to detail: a cleaner, brighter sound than their brattier early recordings, edging towards the European sophistication of the end-of-the-century French house Jack grew up around. Singles 'Like An Animal', 'The End' and 'The Natural World' are characterized by an upbeat disco cool and all push the 7-minute mark, whereas ‘Winter 98’, ‘This City’, and ‘Call Me’ are brooding, stark synth-led numbers reminiscent of early-New Order, with some lyrics sung in Jack’s native French.

The literary inspiration runs further through the album. The track ‘The 5%’, more obviously making reference to the themes of the album's namesake, declares “Time can be erased, you’re stupid if you try and stay in place,” over a pulsing bassline and swirling electronics.  ‘Like an Animal’ is inspired by the intellectual and moral confusion of the main character in Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain. The album has even garnered literary responses of its own by British poet and novelist Joe Dunthorne, author of Submarine.

“I told Joe about the book and the way the album was kind of a reaction to it, and he threw my rationalisation of it back at me through a short story inspired by the album.” says Cleverly. “It helped reveal the emotional territory of the songs. He showed me how I had been dividing things up artificially - desires and priorities, getting older and not being able to stop writing music…”
 
Through the writing of this album, CYMBALS have inevitably matured. “We've never been in it just for a laugh," says Cleverly; “but things got confused when we said we wanted to keep it fun – we just didn't want to end up bitter, having chased a hollow dream.  But this album is less about us; it's more outward looking, more aware of the world at large."  

Despite the weighty literary influences, the band are keen to separate themselves from the over-earnestness that can sometimes accompany such associations.  “I hate the whole 'serious earnest-singer-songwriter-thing,’” says Jack. “With this album I really wanted to get away from that and make music that makes people want to dance and feel joy. Neil's kick drum is the most important thing we have to say as a band. Is this all "fun"?  Yes, of course, but at the same time, not just that."

SYNTH HEAVY FUTURIST POP BAND ‘HUSBAND MATERIAL’ JOIN SUPER FAN 99 FOR NEW DOUBLE A SIDE SINGLE. PICTURE DISC 7” OUT 27.11.15.

Husband Material started life as many bands seem to these days. Boy/Girl in bedroom starts making music on a laptop, music gets too big for bedroom and too big for laptop. Real life humans join to perform bedroom songs and that’s usually where it ends. In the case of this band their songs kept growing sonically while the rooms they played started to get bigger and the bedroom became a distant memory. 
Self -described as “Anorak Pop for the masses” Husband Material’s songs are instantly accessible, danceable and thought provoking in equal measures. Made up of friends and lovers, frontman Richard Board recruited fellow band members, Charlotte Desborough, Zac Harris and George Rothman to start playing his synth heavy songs he’d recorded during the Winter of 2013. 

Testing the water in spring this year the band posted a first track and calling card which soon clocked up thousands of hits and the attention of the blog masses. Later a debut single arrived via acclaimed Bristol indie ‘Art is Hard’ and soon sold out. Talk Too Much goes one step beyond previously heard tracks with their boldest production and biggest chorus yet. If you like your indie-pop with a futurist 80s sheen then Husband Material ARE your new favorite band. Talk Too Much is backed with What Did I Do Wrong and arrives on hyper limited square picture disc via Super Fan 99 this November.

“A groovy yet desperate love tune sang angelically over bed of synths and snappy drum hits” STEREOGUM

“Recalls the funk-strut of Orange Juice as well as Tame Impala’s more synth-heavy moments” NME

Brett return with news of their sophomore album, Mode. Across the record's 10 tracks, Brett's songwriting magic is undeniable. Pop jams come to life in 3D, swirling the senses and putting the mind into motion.

Unlike previous material, Mode inspirations are diverse, owing more to multimedia art than romance, namely Jean-Luc Godard’s recent film, Goodbye to Language. “The defining quote for me was: ‘For women, it's only sex and death. For men, it's only infinity and zeroes,’” said vocalist Mick Coogan. “It’s a fairly opaque statement, but I think the irony lies in assigning absolutes to human relationships, which can be so beautiful and inspiring. At the same time, the fundamental differences between men and women are very real and that shit is difficult to figure out.” In a more abstract way, the light installations of James Turrell also influenced the musical contours of the album.

The album’s art was created as a large-scale painting by LA artist, Charley Alexander, using abstracted patterns, shapes and color scales, and then cut into 50 squares, each of which will be sold with limited edition pre-order copies of the vinyl record.
