Bored In The USA

Out now on Slumberland Records (N & S America) and Fortuna Pop! (ROW).

iTunes: http://smarturl.it/expectdelays
LP/CD: http://www.slumberlandrecords.com/catalog/show/283

Evans the Death return with their second album "Expect Delays" in March via Fortuna POP! (Europe) and Slumberland Records (USA). Recorded again with producer Rory Atwell, the album bristles with an underlying tension and veers from rip-roaring noise to quiet contemplation, underpinned by Katherine Whitaker’s extraordinary voice.

Still barely out of their teens, there’s a tremendous sense across "Expect Delays" of a band coming into their own, honing a plethora of influences to make a sound that is uniquely them. Each song on the album has a different feel to it: some of them are melodic and pretty; some of them heavy and dissonant; and some of them are, to quote guitarist Dan Moss, “a bit strange”. While retaining the post-punk and 90s alt-rock inspired elements that peppered their debut, the music is more expressive, heavier and more experimental, and the lyrics more nuanced, the sense of despair leavened by sharp wordplay and humour.

The unsettling undercurrent of melancholy and hopelessness that pervades the record has its roots in the last three years, spent eking out an existence on the poverty line in Cameron’s Britain, leaving them with a succession of minimum-wage jobs and unemployment benefits interviews. As guitarist Dan Moss relates, the album is about “being in London and feeling hopeless and a bit lost. Not having any money, relationships falling apart, things just not connecting or going anywhere and getting absolutely wasted all the time.”

Named after the undertaker in Dylan Thomas's 'Under Milk Wood,' the band’s 2012 self-titled inaugural album saw critical acclaim from the likes of Q, Uncut and Artrocker, as well as radio play on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music and XFM. After a change in line-up following the release of their debut, the band regrouped around the core of brothers Dan and Olly Moss and singer Katherine Whitaker for the recording of "Expect Delays." Drummer James Burkitt was recruited from Leeds’ band The ABC Club to complete a taut new four-piece.

More ambitious and focused than their previous record, whilst sacrificing none of their spontaneity and vitality, "Expect Delays" is a supremely inventive and intelligently crafted album from a band who have suffered for their art, and used that experience to inform and nourish their work. Expect no more delays, Evans the Death have arrived.

“Evans the Death manage to make humdrum everyday existence seem quite magical” Q ****

“A wonderful marriage of converse elements elegantly crafted into its own neat mess.” Artrocker *****

“Terrific” Uncut

LYRICS:
Now that I fell into your arms
My only lover
Give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lost

Drag me to hell
In the valley of The Dalles
Like my mother
Give wings to a stone
It’s only the shadow of a cross

I slept on my back 
In the shade of the meadowlark 
Like a champion
Get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you depart

I’ll drive that stake through the center of my heart
Lonely vampire
Inhaling its fire
I’m chasing the dragon too far

There’s blood on that blade
Fuck me, I’m falling apart
My assassin
Like Casper the ghost 
There’s no shade in the shadow of the cross

Press Release
Danish four-piece Yung prepare for their UK festival debut this Friday, with new single ‘Blanket’ - the perfect follow up to their March Alter EP and another glimpse at the band’s ability to mix brash, persuasive Nordic punk with a rare sense of rhythm and melody.

Announcing their arrival with ‘Nobody Cares’ at the start of 2015, Yung released their international debut through Tough Love Records in March, which, in addition to selling out its limited run of vinyl ahead of release, drew comparisons to acts like the Replacements, Ty Segall and Jay Reatard, and saw them pick up acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, 6Music, Radio 1, DIY, Stereogum and NME, amongst many others.

This followed with the band making their debut UK live shows, the first of which became instantly infamous after a power-cut 20 minutes before they were due to go on stage at the Old Blue Last forced the band to up sticks and, in true DIY style, move the show to the Shacklewell Arms for a sold-out put-together show; Yung took to the stage just after midnight, with Toronto noise rockers METZ in attendance lending a spare hand in changing strings as the show reached a chaotic conclusion.

Formed in the summer of 2013 as a vehicle to escape the bewildering frustration of everyday life and young adulthood, the Aarhus-based group's new single, ’Blanket’, which retains the angst and feverish energy of their EP, but marks an impressive progression in production, with 20-year-old frontman Mikkel Holm Silkjær making a remarkable leap forward with his songwriting too. 

Following a European tour with The Districts, Yung will be returning to the UK for shows at this week’s Great Escape festival before headlining a one-off London show on Tuesday 19th May at The Stags Head.

‘Blanket’ b/w ‘Burning Bodies’ will be released digitally and as a limited run of 500 vinyl copies through Tough Love Records on 24th July 2015, with the first 100 (available only through the Tough Love site) being a white pressing and the remaining 400 black.

SUPER FAN 99 ARE DELIGHTED TO BE RELEASING THE L.A DREAM-POPPERS DEBUT ALBUM ‘SUPREME BLUE DREAM’ ON 13.07.15 IN THE UK/EU

Winter is a breezy dose of sultry shoegaze and drippy dream-pop whose sound was conceived in Boston. Beginning as a collaborative effort between Samira Winter and Nolan Eley, their first recordings culminated to the 2012 EP entitled Daydreaming. Following the release, their relocation to Los Angeles brought on the recruit of additional members with the intention of performing live. Brushing shoulders on bills with L.A. contemporaries like Thee Oh Sees, Bleached and Ought, the group settled into the California scene while honing their brand of ethereal vocals layered over melodic guitars.

Following on from five rapturously received shows at this year’s SXSW and a six week residency at The Echo in LA ‘Supreme Blue Dream’ now gets a full European release through Super Fan 99. It’s a record that floats on with a youthful sense of nostalgia and romanticized segues into adulthood. Imagine if you distilled the essence of a Sophia Coppola movie in to songs and you’re almost there. With singer Samira’s guest vocal on the new Go! Team album going down a bomb this side of the Atlantic there in no better time for Britain to discover Winter. 

Available on super limited blue glitter cassette and CD from 13.07.15.Fans of Best Coast, Cocteau Twins and Galaxie 500 will fall head over heels for this one. 

“Like if the first Best coast album had the production of the first Beach House album” BROOKLYN VEGAN

“Dream-pop guitar rock that I immediately added to multiple personal playlists” NOISEY

“Deceitfully crafty pop combing shoegaze aura and jangly electric interplay” THE 405

“Upbeat enough to bop along with yet laid back enough to daydream to” THE LINE OF BEST FIT

“A heady injection of flowery, hallucinogenic guitar lines and breezy, kaleidoscopic synth sounds” GOLD FLAKE PAINT

“The mix of dissonant synths and ethereal guitar sounds like a concoction Yo La tengo or Galaxie 500 would stir up” BUZZ BANDS.LA

While attending Purchase College Nicole Schneit met Dan Deacon, a friend and former collaborator who once described her comforting songs as something akin to "a favorite blanket wrapped around you."  Though she played in several bands in college (including the noise jam band Ferrari with Deacon) she eventually shifted her focus to writing and recording intimate pop songs under the name Air Waves, a moniker inspired by the title of a Guided by Voices song. 

After extensive touring in support of her 2010 album Dungeon Dots, Schneit took some time off from writing.  "It was crucial for my creative process to take a step back from making music. Part of being a performer is having confidence to just be vulnerable. I needed to regain that confidence to make an album again after Dungeon Dots," she says.  The vulnerability she speaks of is part of what makes her music as Air Waves so compelling.  Even her fictional narratives employ an almost preternatural honesty that feels emotionally naked, exposed, and ultimately relatable.     

Her new album Parting Glances takes its title from the 1986 film of the same name, in which Steve Buscemi portrays a gay man navigating the difficulties of being in a relationship in Reagan-era New York.  "I've never seen a film with Steve Buscemi in it that I didn't love," says Schneit.  More than just identifying with the story, she's interested in the in the lasting effect of the parting glances we share with strangers in our everyday encounters.  She explains "You see all sorts of physical and emotional traits on the train. From people puking, making out, screaming, crying, laughing, dancing, grooming, etc.  We encounter each other in the thick of our complex lives by simply looking at each other all the time. These glances are mundane and fleeting but also powerfully intimate."  The lingering impact of those brief moments seeps into the details and imagery she delivers through her lyrics on Parting Glances.  With energizing hooks and a disarming lack of pretense, the songs on Parting Glances burn with ebullient energy and an emotionally engaging core from beginning to end.

‘Nice work from the New Town Kings – the best of Brit reggae’ – David Rodigan

Ahead of a busy summer festival schedule, Essex-based ska-reggae upstarts New Town Kings are back with a brand new single, ‘Pack Up Bye Bye’, due for release on 24th July.

The group’s blend of old-school Jamaican rhythms with a fresh dose of UK-inspired ska has steadily earned them a reputation as one of the most exciting names in British reggae – with their sophomore album ‘M.O.J.O’ being described by Punktastic as ‘lusciously layered, crisp, sharp, and emotive’.

More recently, their EP ‘Pull Up and Rewind’ received extensive support from BBC Radio 1Xtra’s David Rodigan, where the band were featured on his spotlight show dedicated to British reggae talent.

Their latest track is a simmering summer rocksteady tune reminiscent of the lovers’ rock of Dennis Brown. Frontman Dabs Bonner comments: “the lyric explores themes of relationship angst to the backdrop of a timeless New Town groove”.

Hailing from New Town, Essex, the Kings’ modern twist on classic Jamaican music has seen them tour the country with the likes of The Skints, Gentlemen’s Dub Club and US reggae legends The Aggrolites. Tireless performers, the nine-piece have clocked up over 500 shows across 10 different countries since their formation.

Their enviable live reputation has continued to grow through 2015, with the band having already played alongside The Specials singer Neville Staple and at Bearded Theory Festival. This summer will see them return to Boomtown Festival and Rebellion Festival ahead of a European tour in support of New York ska legends The Slackers in September.

As well as preparing to entertain live crowds with their sun-soaked sound, the band have also begun work on their third album - clearly this hardworking group are showing no signs of hanging up their horns just yet. 


Pack Up Bye Bye

"Batteries", the song is about the constant struggle to remain a cognisant, productive member of society while fending off the desire to switch off for an easier existence. This touches on the over-arching theme of the Batteries album - that batteries can be recharged or disposed of when empty, and the discovery of which kind of battery we all are. The music matches the paranoid confusion of the lyrics, a break-neck speed new-wave romp with nods to obvious influence Devo and lost 2000's great Clor, with a radio-ready catchy chorus. Alienation versus communication is the paradox at the heart of the song, but it's also adept at simply making people jump about and sing along.
