Appearances of Collections is out now!

“Rumour Cubes’ sound is a luminous re-imagining of very many constituent parts” (Louder than War). The London-based six-piece are a gathering swell of strings, electronics and layers of guitars, underpinned by a bass-infused rhythm. Formed in 2009, the band have since cut their own path, crafting music that is by turns melodic and abstract, raucous and reflective, joyful and melancholy.

The band’s two albums Appearances of Collections (2014) and The Narrow State (2012) draw on a wide range of instrumentation, influences and ideas, both packed with Rumour Cubes’ signature changes in pace, texture and form. Appearances of Collections has been described as “a far-reaching and fearless work, a dizzying instrumental adventure” (The Skinny), “music overflowing with a delicate, but nonetheless significant, passion” (Drowned in Sound) and “a labyrinth of vivacity, an album of beauty and transcendence that is meticulously crafted but holds no sense of rigidity, leaving plenty of room for wonder.” (Echoes and Dust).

Rumour Cubes’ performances are underpinned by their love of new technology. The band's live shows often feature mi.mu gloves (guitarist Adam Stark is part of the development team), which allow the wearer to manipulate sound using hand gestures, alongside a host of other technological elements, including joysticks, samplers, synths and a huge array of effects pedals, many of which are custom-built. Adam has also written custom software to synchronise videos to the band’s live performances, turning their shows into a multimedia experience.

Since their inception, the band have collaborated with poets, film-makers and a wide spectrum of other musicians. Collaborations with poet Steve Willey can be found on debut album track The Gove Curve and the 1871 / Letters To Palestine release; and Appearances of Collections includes contributions from 10 guest musicians. In 2013 Rumour Cubes played at Glastonbury, Village Green and Truck festivals alongside Sam Duckworth (Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly). The set at Glastonbury was Sunday's headline act on the Leftfield Stage, and was a live mixtape with artists including Billy Bragg, Kate Nash, Sweet Billy Pilgrim, Jehst, Riz MC and Grace Petrie.

Rumour Cubes are Joe Bartlett (bass), Jay Malhotra (guitar), Hannah Morgan (violin), Terry Murphy (viola), Omar Rahwangi (drums) and Adam Stark (guitar, electronics).

MUAY area a duo formed by the end of 2015. In less than two months, they played from north to south of Portugal, with the tour "França Espanha tudo" and walked scoring goals on the road. A constant trip between Bangkok and Penafiel, MUAY is a duo that mixes a synthesizer with multiple guitars and thundern drums. A red-black mix post-something, Asian-inspired meditation cadence with tiger balm fragrance.

After four years of silence, instrumental metal standard bearers Pelican have come thundering back, with Forever Becoming, an eight-song album destined to be considered one of the most punishingly rewarding albums of the year. 

Before their hiatus, the group had laid a sizeable chunk of the groundwork for the instrumental metal scene that’s come into its own in the 13 years since they started playing together. After 2009 the band found itself slightly adrift, and found the day to day struggle of being full-time underground musicians colliding with new families and non-musical careers. Wisely, they didn’t make any rash decisions, and as suits a band known for making dense, meditative sounds they simply patiently figured out how to move past their obstacles.

This reborn Pelican is purer, more focused, and far more assured. Recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago with engineer Chris Common, and featuring The Swan King guitarist Dallas Thomas (replacing the amicably departed Laurent Schroeder-Lebec) Forever Becoming is an immense, speaker-rattling meditation on the infinite cycle of death and life. It takes a lot of experience and a lot of confidence to attempt a head-on ascent of the biggest, most monolithic theme in art, but Forever Becoming is proof that Pelican has plenty of both, and knows how to wield them.
