After a four year wait, Stockholm three-piece <b>Museum of Bellas Artes</b> cut the ribbon on their eagerly anticipated debut LP, 'Pieces', out 11th November on Best Fit Recordings.

Full-bodied, baroque and seductively melodramatic, 'Pieces' trails the darker climes of luxe-pop, melting disco beats into church organ, sustained synth pads into chiming bells and pistols-at-dawn guitars into post-punk bass lines. 

Alice Luther's red velvet voice flails like a Grand Dame treading the Boards - the operatic electronica of opener 'Fantasia' paying its dues to Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain. 'Twine' scurries along in a balearic whirlwind and the haunting presence of 'Maze of Shells' lingers like a Victorian ghost. 

'Bear Cubs' and 'Swan Boats' flex their rhythmic muscles with guitar and never has a 'Relapse' sounded more enticing. It's all brought to a suitably theatrical conclusion with album clincher 'Glass'.

Childhood friends Joanna Herskovits, Leonard Öhman and Alice Luther assembled the band back in 2009 and released the neon-flecked debut EP 'Days Ahead' a year later. 

As they up the sonic histrionics and dim the lights, forget everything you thought you knew about Swedish pop and start over.

Museum of Bellas Artes’ debut album ‘Pieces’ will be released on 11th November, 2013 via Best Fit Recordings in digital and limited edition vinyl formats.

1. Fantasia

Museum Of Bellas Artes - Twine

The Knife, in collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, are to release the studio version of the opera ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’, on the 1st March 2010.



Commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma to write the music for their opera based on Charles Darwin and his book ‘On the Origin of the Species’, The Knife decided to make this a collaborative process, working with artists Mt. Sims and Planningtorock for the first time, to capture the huge width of the Darwin and evolution theme. <a href="http://theknife.net">http://theknife.net</a>

AUSTRA - "American Science"

This disc is one of the rarest Massive Attack promo discs in existence. There were only 200 copies produced and each is numbered. 

This disc was only given out free to the first 200 patrons of the Nocturne club in Bristol on the night of the 12th March 2002. It was the third in the series of such very limited releases from Nocturne to feature exclusive one track mixes from well-known DJ's and musicians from Bristol. 

This particular one was mixed by 3D and offers a interesting look at some of his favourite songs over the years. Even more interesting to Massive Attack fans is the two previously unreleased Massive Attack songs that 3D mixed into the running time of the one continuous track on the disc. These songs are I Against I (which would go on commericial release as part of the Blade 2 soundtrack in the next few weeks time), Inflight Data (previously only heard on the porn film's The Uranus Experiment soundtrack) and an new untitled remix of Risingson probably remixed by the Mad Professor.

An new updated Nocture Sessions mix from 2010 can be streamed in mp3 quality for free at delnaja.com
