Here at Cast the Dice we don’t really fish for remixes. But every now and then an exceptional one gets trapped in our nets.
And that is the case with ‘Solid Gold’, the very first single taken from AU‘s third album Both Lights, which just received the remix treatment from Deerhoof.
AU will be releasing it on a limited edition split 7″ with fellow Portland residents Pure Bathing Culture.
And whilst we wait for it to drop, check out the original track here and enjoy the Deerhoof remix below.
Japanese orchestral post-rockers Mono are set to release the follow up to their 2009’s Hymn To The Immortal Wind. The new album, entitled For My Parents, is due out on August 22nd in Japan via the quartet’s own label Magniph and September 3rd in the rest of the world via Temporary Residence.
For My Parents sees Mono being supported again by the Wordless Music Orchestra, with whom they had recorded the live album Holy Ground in 2010.
We are still waiting for the first taste from the album to surface, but check out below the album trailer Mono put together. And after that listen to the majestic ‘Silent Flight, Sleeping Dawn’, lifted from Hymn To The immortal Wind.
Berlin based Scottish singer-songwriter and producer Rudi Zygadlo is set to release his second full-length entitled Tragicomedies.
The album will be released on September 17th via Planet Mu and it follows his 2010’s debut Great Western Laymen.
Ahead of the release, Zygadlo dropped last week the lead single ‘Melopomene’, a beautiful ballad named after a Greek Muse. The single is available digitally and on vinyl, and it features the B-side ‘Arrows’.
‘Melopomene’ “works a wonderful alchemy with acoustic instrumentation and dramatic suture-like edits with a gauzy side-compressed production, over which a tempered tale of love lost unravels among Rudi’s fragile harmonies”, according to the issued press release. “The track builds to a middle passage, as piano and accordion duel with a beautiful grace in an almost neo-classical passage before the penny drops on the outro and the sadness hinted at before dramatically plays out in the song’s chorus.”
‘Melopomene’ comes with a video, directed by Nick Rutter. Check it out beneath.
Back in January, Errors released their third full-length album, Have Some Faith In Magic, to widespread acclaim.
The quartet has been busy and revealed today they are set to release a new 8-track mini-album entitled New Relics. The new tracks were recorded over the Spring in their Glasgow Studio.
The new effort is due out in October and it will be available digitally, on CD and 12″ via Mogwai’s Rock Action Records.
New Relics will also be available on VHS, limited to 200 copies. Errors teamed up with Rachel Maclean, who had already directed the video for their ‘Pleasure Palaces’ single, and other visual artists, to create a full length visual representation of the mini-album.
Errors are offering the very first taste off the upcoming mini-album, the staggering track ‘Relics’. It features guest vocals from Bek Oliva of Edinburgh’s outfit Magic Eye. Check it out below.
