We’re ecstatic to announce that Cast the Dice will present a night of musical hysteria next month in London. We’re still not quite sure how it happened but comes the 18th of July, AK/DK and Chik Budo, two of our absolute favourite bands, are set to storm the Dalston Victoria.
Head over to our event page for more info and tickets.
A couple of weeks ago, Sankt Otten enticed us with ‘Im Himmel angekommen’, taken from their forthcoming full-length album Messias Maschine. ‘Im Himmel angekommen’ features Ulrich Schnauss on synths and percussion, and alike this collaboration, Messias Maschine is glowing with quite a few other collaborations with pioneers of electronic and avantgarde music, including Maserati’s Coley Duane Dennis, Miles Brown and Harald Grosskopf. 75-year old drummer Jaki Liebezeit of the legendary CAN has also collaborated with Stephan Otten and Oliver Klemm on three tracks from the album, including ‘Das große Weinen ist vorbei’, which makes its way to us with a visual accompaniment. Check it out below.
Messias Maschine drops on June 28th via Denovali Records.
Next week will see the release of Flying Ibex‘s somophore album Habits.
The London based trio, made up of brothers Barnaby and Nathaniel Keen and Dave De Rose, came into existence in 2011 in a commune in south London where they improvised to silent films, theatre pieces and trapeze shows.
Navigating through a wide palette of genres and each member’s own past personal experiences and musical collaborations, “Flying Ibex have progressed through a sea of influences including African tapes, Brazilian Maracatu and analogue gear”, as the press release explains.
Habits drops on June 17th via Bomb Shop, and ahead of it, the threesome have released the excellent lead single ‘You Dared Me’, backed with the colourful and tropical B-side ‘Something Was Cured’. Listen to both below.
Matthew Herbert‘s new album The End of Silence comes out later this month. As we had previously mentioned, the album was composed entirely around a 10-second field recording from the 2011 conflict in Libya.
Split into three parts, the British electronic composer had already shared an excerpt from ‘Part One’, and now we can listen to an excerpt from ‘Part 2’. Listen to it below and watch out for the album’s release on June 24th via Accidental Records.
‘Cindy + Me’, the first single from Caged Animals‘ upcoming somophore album, will be released on June 17th via Lucky Number Music. Ahead of it, Caged Animals have premiered a video for the track, featuring some special scientists. Carlos Lopez Estrada directs, watch it below.
Here’s the mad video that accompanies the excellent and frantic ‘Sleeping with Buddha’, off
