Anna Meredith set to release debut EP

03 October 2012

British contemporary composer Anna Meredith will release her first EP in less than two weeks. Black Prince Fury is due out on October 15th via Moshi Moshi Records.

“A contemporary classical composer by day”, as the label describes her, “Anna creates bombastic electronic music by night.”

Following her first tremendous single ‘Nautilus’, featured in our monthly mixtape earlier this year, Anna has just unveiled ‘Never Wonder’, the second outstanding cut from the forthcoming EP. Anna humorously chucks in a sample of Jennifer Rush’s classic ballad ‘The Power of Love’ right in the middle of ‘Never Wonder’. Listen to it below, and straight after check out the video that accompanies ‘Nautilus’.

It’s been a decade since Canadian post-rock veterans Godspeed You! Black Emperor released Yanqui U.X.O.. Soon after the album release, the band went on hiatus, which they’ve ended in 2010 when they got back together to play live and they’ve been on tour since.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor have announced the release of Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!, the first new album since 2002. ‘Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend! drops on October 15th in Europe and the following day in the rest of the world, via Constellation Records. If you are lucky enough to go to one of the shows from their American tour, you can grab the album there.

According to the label, Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!  features two twenty-minute slabs of epic instrumental rock music and two six-and-a-half minute drones.

The release date can’t come soon enough. Whilst we wait to hear their new material, here’s ‘motherfucker=redeemer (pt.2)’,  the epic closing track from Yanqui U.X.O..

28 September 2012

Night Works, the brainchild project of Gabriel Stebbing (former Metronomy member), is set to release his debut album this winter.
Since emerging earlier this year, Night Works has dropped a couple of singles and his latest offering, ‘Modern European’, comes with added visuals.
According to the press release, “‘Modern European’ epitomises what it is exactly that Night Works does so well, which is to imbue a shiny pop hook with an elegiac air of melancholia and nostalgia, creating, in effect, a track that is as instantly addictive as it is indelibly moving.”
‘Modern European’ will be released on November 12th via Loose Lips Records.
Watch Stebbing having fun around Paris in the video for new cut. And straight after listen to ‘I Tried So Hard’, Night Works’ first single released last April.
