Head over to the blog for two new posts from K.I.T and Foot Village.

Firstly, K.I.T's George Chen and Vice Cooler give us a report from their recent travels around Texas with Deerhoof and Experimental Dental School aka the "Loss Damage Waiver Tour".

Meanwhile, Foot Village are appealing for help in the recording of their new album, inviting you - yes, you! - to reinterpret a loop for the last track 'Chicken and Cheese' and send it in for inclusion in the final song. All the words and a rough tune can be found here.

DREAMS ARE BURNED

25 November 2008

We have a brand new 7" out now entitled 'Dreams Are Burned', which is a very special collaboration between K.I.T and The Minutemen / Stooges bass-toting legend, Mike Watt.

It features four new songs that break the lengths of past efforts, yet delve into structural experiments with the same ferocity, with Watt adding melodic runs and Jenna Thornhill of Silver Daggers / Mika Miko providing horn overdubs.

Lyrics touch on the state of ecological and political disrepair that even the least crustafarian music fan would have to notice in 2008, post-peak oil and in the last throes of Bush doctrine.

The artwork is an intricate collage by Jessalyn Aaland, who has performed similar duties for Business Lady and Foot Village, and it costs £4.50 including postage worldwide.

And while you're at the shop, why not pick up Death Sentence: Panda!'s brand new album 'Insects Awaken' on vinyl? The LP arrived this morning and looks sensational!

DAVID GRUBBS is a Louisville, Kentucky-born guitarist, pianist and vocalist, currently residing in Brooklyn, New York. He was a founding member of Squirrel Bait, Bastro and Gastr del Sol, and currently plays in the Wingdale Community Singers and, periodically, The Red Krayola. In solo guise, he has recently completed his tenth album 'An Optimist Notes the Dusk' for Drag City, which is a contemplative mix of articulate vocals, sparse, free-form percussion and intricate electric guitar that ranges from the languid and liquid to the spikily anthemic. Grubbs also finds time to run his own label, Blue Chopsticks, and act as Assistant Professor of Radio and Sound Art in the Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College, CUNY.

SERAFINA STEER is a harpist, pianist, singer and songwriter from Oxford. Unlike that other harpist who's been haunting the column inches so regularly (Joanna something, isn't it?), Steer's music has its roots deeply embedded in the classic British folk tradition. Gorgeous cascades of stringwork underpin every single song beautifully, complemented by the tiniest bit of electronic manipulation or piano here and there. A 7" single and an album entitled 'Cheap Demo Bad Science' are available now via Static Caravan records.

ARCH M is Corey Reid, a San Francisco native / resident of London for the past 4 years, who enjoys swimming and seeking out Mexican restaurants. Arch M's recent cassette EP 'Mountain Tan Commercials' was recorded in Plumas National Forest in Nevada and gives you some idea of the vast unfurling horizon music that echos and swells out of the nature scene. Arch M plays out live sometimes solo, sometimes with a rotating cast of recluses - for this show the mystery hangs in the air. A new LP 'Moon Tan' will be released through the Cavern imprint early in 2009.

LUCKY DRAGONS

CRYSTAL ANTLERS

Monday 26 January

The Luminaire

311 Kilburn High Road, Kilburn, NW6 7JR | Map
8:00 | £7 | Buy tickets

LUCKY DRAGONS inhabit Los Angeles and came together in the spring of 2000 in an attempt to create a band that would never break up. They create an ecstatic form of electronic music that celebrates the spirit of life as well as the magic of genre boundaries. Their 18th release 'Dream Island Laughing Language' is out now on Upset The Rhythm and details the continuing pursuit of a joyous, drippy and smoldering music for our experience in the world right now.

CRYSTAL ANTLERS are a quintet from Long Beach, California, who create their own brew of reverbed psychedelia and raw, soulful punk. Their fearsome live reputation - cemented by last year's cross-country tour in a vegetable oil-fuelled school bus - led to the rapid evaporation of their first two 7"s. A self-titled EP has recently been reissued by Touch & Go, with a debut full-length proper set for release in early 2009.
