A solo Project from Mexico City founded by Fernando Vaugier, with principal influences in the Post-Punk, ColdWave, electronic sounds and an extensive quantity of genres adapted to the expression of a dark and cold sound,  with the typical characteristic of sudden changes of sound from one track to another, Mementut takes the visualization of the politics as a subject matter, the wars and the religion in the mind of a human being with mental illnesses and / or psychological damages, an attachment to topics related to conditions like autism, sociopathy, psychopaty and the bipolarity, the love/hate towards the God's darkness,  the unstable meditation to reach the peace in a place without light or hope, the one that only the doomed individuals can perceive in their emotions, Mementut is a word of created by a combination between the words "Memento" (I remember - in Latin) and "Tot" (dead - in German) taking "Mímentut" as a pronunciation for spanish, slightly similarly referring the phrase "Memory of something dead " used as the first idea for his creator to refer to the last recollection or image that a person can have of before dying  in a former life, and like a second attempt to name that shaded emotion that only the lost souls can feel, the part "tut" (Tot) also takes as a reference the name of the Egyptian God, a relation and similarity exists also in certain ideologies with the term(end) "shade" used in the psychology and in turn polysemic in an adjective to mention a person with many strength after cruel feelings and experiences, being able to exist multiple examples as adjective in a phrase but the major one being able to be:
" You are Mementut,  you resist in front of  the fury of God "

Proyecto de la Ciudad de Mexico fundado por Fernando Vaugier, con principales influencias en el Post-Punk, ColdWave, sonidos electrónicos y una extensa cantidad de géneros adaptados a la expresión de un sonido oscuro y frío, teniendo como característica típica un posible cambio brusco en el sonido de un tema a otro, Mementut tiene como temática la visualización de la política, las guerras y la religion en la mente de un ser humano con enfermedades mentales y/o daños psicológicos, un apego a temas relacionados a condiciones como el autismo, la sociopatía, la psicopatía y la bipolaridad, el odio/amor a la oscuridad de Dios, la inestable meditación para alcanzar la paz en un lugar sin luz o esperanza y aquello que solo los individuos trágicos pueden percibir en sus emociones, Mementut es una palabra creada por una combinación entre las palabras ''Memento'' (recuerdo- en latín) y ''Tot'' (muerto- en Aleman) teniendo como pronunciación algo parecido a ''Mímentut'' haciendo referencia la frase ''Recuerdo de algo muerto'' usada como primera idea por su creador para referirse al ultimo recuerdo o imagen que una persona puede tener de antes de haber muerto en su vida pasada, y como segunda para intentar nombrar aquella sombría emoción que solo las almas perdidas pueden sentir, la parte ''tut'' (Tot) tambien tiene como referencia el nombre del Dios egipcio, existe tambien una relación y similitud en ciertas ideologías con el termino ''sombra'' utilizado en la psicología y a su vez polisémica en un adjetivo para mencionar a una persona con mucha fortaleza ante crueles sentimientos y vivencias, pudiendo existir múltiples ejemplos como adjetivo en una frase pero el mayor pudiendo ser:
''Tu eres Mementut, tu resistes ante la furia de Dios''

Belfast-based four-piece Girls Names are a singular proposition, both geographically and psychically removed from their contemporaries at home and abroad. Released in February 2013, their second album 'The New Life' is the sound of a band on the fringes striving to forge their own path, purposefully out of step - and time - with their surroundings. Weighed heavy with the grey landscapes of their hometown, 'The New Life' is isolation laid bare, shot through with an undeterred sense of purpose and individuality.

Having released a series of singles and EPs on various independent labels, Girls Names made their first significant impression on the wider world in 2011 with their debut album, 'Dead To Me,' earning plaudits from the likes of Pitchfork, NME and Loud & Quiet amongst a host of others. And yet, despite all the praise heaped on it, as soon as that record was released Girls Names were already moving into a different headspace. 

The band’s performance at this year Primavera festival provided them with their first real opportunity to showcase the songs that were to comprise 'The New Life.' The sunshine backdrop of the Spanish coastline offered a somewhat incongruous setting to the eerie dissonance of the new material, a kind of trial by fire metamorphosis rapturously received. Following a tour of Europe, the band returned home to record the album over a series of months. Having been produced by singer and songwriter, Cathal Cully, they’ve managed to capture that sense of otherness the performances at Primavera hinted at. The expansion to a four piece means the garage-clatter of the spritely pop songs of their debut have been replaced by a deeper, shadowy exercise in catharsis, driven by repetition, psychedelia and Dionysian crisis. And the record was born of a weighty concept too, as Cully explains: 

“'The New Life' is not an over night change for Girls Names - just over two years in fact. 'Dead to Me' literally was dead to us by the time it was committed to wax. But it's a learning curve. We started moving on as artists the moment we finished that recording session, maybe even before. Not to dwell on the past, 'The New Life' is what happens when you reset everything back to zero and start again, but try to perfect. It starts back at zero the minute the needle hits the groove but we're also starting back from zero once the needle lifts at the end of the record. Ad infinitum. 'The New Life' is what follows now.”

The album’s title track, and the first single to be taken from the album, is an ideal entry point. Just shy of 8 minutes long, it rotates around a hypnotic bass line, and in Cully’s evocation of renaissance, offers a perfect metaphor for the album as a whole. New single ‘Hypnotic Regression’ - available to stream today - reflects another side to the record. The reverb-heavy guitars and compelling melody are immediately memorable, but there are signs of experimentation, too; the white squall of the lead break; the uneasiness in the vocal echoes that furnish the verses. As such, 'The New Life,' stands as a brave statement; the mark of the band untying themselves from the past and easing forth into the unknown.

"The New Life" will be released on February 18th, 2013 on Tough Love (UK) and February 26th, 2013 on Slumberland Records (US).
