Eterkropp - Då blir allt bra

That long-awaited (well, for me anyway) fourth Meursault album is finally on the fairly immediate horizon. It will be released on CD and vinyl on the 27th February, will be called I Will Kill Again, and Klopfgeist is the first single from it.

After a relatively big rock sound on 2012’s Something For the Weakened collapsed in on itself to be channelled into the tense, darkly enigmatic characters of Supermoon, before being in turn shrugged off like a chrysalis as the reborn Meursault emerged, this song feels as emblematic of the new album as any could be.

It’s got that classic Meursault turn of phrase, an elusive narrative and a vague sense of foreboding - all common aesthetic threads which pull the album together.

Neil himself says this about the song:
“Frank Sinatra died in Los Angeles on May 14th, 1998. His final words were "I’m losing”. 
The rest is just ghosts and metronomes.”

UPCOMING LIVE DATES (full band shows):
3rd February (Celtic Connections) – The Hug and Pint, Glasgow (Sold Out)
25th February (Song, by Toad's Granfalloon) – Summerhall, Edinburgh (Tickets)
4th March - The Lexington, London (Tickets)

Some nice things people said about comeback EP Simple is Good:
"a remarkable return - literate and emotionally engrossing" – Clash
"Like questions from a child drilling through the hardest of hearts and demanding our self-reflection" 
- Gold Flake Paint
“It continues the epic and grand nature of the 2012 album Something For the Weakened, but somehow manages to feel thoughtful and graceful in nature.” - TVBomb

Meursault - Klopfgeist

Matadors - Trumpet Of Conscience

A Lightbulb Mind, the new single of Perth outfit Our Man In Berlin touches on several themes but primarily discusses the methamphetamine addiction and related psychosis of a close family member of singer Haydn Mansell. A much more honest and organic offering than what has come before, A Lightbulb Mind is a driving, swirling, and cinematic slice of dream rock.

The band has had considerable success in achieving national airplay for their past 7 singles , widespread internet acclaim via top taste making blogs, and an ever expanding live reputation which has seen the band play countless festival stages both at home and abroad. But rather than wasting time listing all of that in detail for you to read OMiB would much rather you spend the next 3 minutes and 54 seconds of your life listening to the song. Enjoy!
