andnbsp;
Black Up is the new sonic move from Shabazz Palaces. Like rich velvet hijabs or gold threaded abayas. Luxury as understood by the modest. Shabazz Palaces. If Bedouins herded beats instead of goats and settled in Seattle instead of the Atlas Mountains, this would be their album. Forward thinkers but nostalgic for a sparer time when ancient astronomers only recognized five planets. Hip hop. Black light uses electromagnetic radiation to eradicate microorganisms, but shabazz didnandrsquo;t come to kill a sound, just to shine their own incandescent lamp on this. Hear. Hard and clear. Fifty thousand years in the making. Honorable.andmdash;palaceer pink gators. Produced by Knife Knights.plcrs at Gunbeat Serenade Studio in Outplace Palacelands. It was recorded and mixed in Lixx-alog by Blood.

<description><![CDATA[Zulu Winter are quickly becoming one of the best live bands in London.
Formed in 2010, they wrote a whole albums worth of music before letting anyone hear it. In an interview with Fly Magazine they admit
andldquo;Weandrsquo;ve done it a strange way around,but we wanted to write our record and have the songs ready by the time we played any shows, because if you come out and arenandrsquo;t up to speed playing-wise, without enough material, people are quick to write you off. We believed we needed to be as good as we could be before people heard us.andrdquo;
Their theory has most definitely worked with with debut single "Never Leave / Lets Move Back To Front". The Steve Reich-inspired track shows off their otherworldly, shimmering art-pop.
Their debut album is to be released on 14th May 2012

<description><![CDATA[Former Arab Strap guitarist Malcolm Middleton returns to Glasgowandrsquo;s seminal alternative label Chemikal Underground in 2012 with his self-titled debut album as Human Donandrsquo;t Be Angry. Named in honour of the German version of board game Frustration ("Mensch andauml;rgere Dich nicht"), the album was recorded at Chem19 studios during October 2011 alongside producer and drum programmer Paul Savage, with live drum parts from Middletonandrsquo;s old Arab Strap partner Aidan Moffat.
andlsquo;HDBA is a facade, a front so I can have fun again musically,andrsquo; says Middleton, who describes himself as having felt bored and restricted by what he jokingly refers to as the andlsquo;heart-on-sleeve complainingandrsquo; of his solo work. andlsquo;I thought I'd go back to what I enjoy,andrsquo; he says, andlsquo;which is playing guitar and writing melodies.andrsquo;
The original idea to create an album of gentle guitar instrumentals and drum-free ambient atmospherics was soon put paid to when Middleton entered the studio with Savage, as drum tracks were added and lyrics emerged for some of the songs, albeit often as poetic repetitions of phrases rather than structured verse-chorus-verse affairs. The words fit with the laid-back air of the music and help showcase Middletonandrsquo;s often under-rated skill as a guitarist, leaving the sense that heandrsquo;s made andlsquo;more of an album I'd want to listen to than the one I thought I wanted to make.andrsquo;
Song titles like andlsquo;Jadedandrsquo; and andlsquo;Getting Better (At Feeling Like Shit)andrsquo; are a tongue-in-cheek diversion from an album which is musically breezy and upbeat, although the emotional bittersweetness you might expect from the man who wrote andlsquo;Weandrsquo;re All Going to Dieandrsquo; is never far from the surface. andlsquo;It's only recently I've realised how the record is also influenced by my childhood and the 1980s,andrsquo; jokes Middleton. andlsquo;Song titles like andlsquo;The Missing Plutoniumandrsquo;, andlsquo;After the Pleasuredomeandrsquo; and andlsquo;1985andrsquo; refer to Back to the Future, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Live Aid. Obviously Jan Hammer and Iron Maiden are in there too...andrsquo;
So Human Donandrsquo;t Be Angry is a refresher before Middleton returns re-energised to his solo career, but itandrsquo;s also here to stay as a new creative avenue. Songs have been written for the second album, and he canandrsquo;t wait to see what Paul Savage does with them andlsquo;to remove my 2D expectations.andrsquo;
Plus support from MARTIN JOHN HENRY collaborator of Malcolm Middleton, King Creosote and Mogwai, ex member of De Rosa, Chemical Underground contemporary classic album makers.
And we're delighted that new Chemikal Underground signing MIAOUX MIAOUX will also be playing. Here are a few glowing reviews from his native city of Glasgow:
The List:Best gigs of the year 13/12/11andnbsp;andlsquo;We donandrsquo;t tend to throw about words like andlsquo;spellbindingandrsquo; and andlsquo;mesmerisingandrsquo;. But for a gig that asked us to lie back and gaze at the stars, while laptop wizardry and shimmering electro-prog-rock washed over us, we feel it deserves bothandrsquo;andnbsp;Show review 21/10/11andlsquo;One-man poptronic wonder Miaoux Miaoux, who live-looped drum samples and the metallic strumming of his electric guitar as easily as if he were in his own bedroom. His set pulsated with lively versions of tracks from his 2007 album, Rainbow Bubbles, and ended with andlsquo;Snowandrsquo;, the closer to his 2010 andlsquo;Bloomsandrsquo; EP, on which his small but perfect voice shone through the electronic hum like a beacon.andrsquo; Glasgow Podcart:Ones to Watch 2012 30/12/11andlsquo;Whether on record or live Miaoux Miaoux delivers every time. His performance in a caravan (the smallest rave in the world) at this yearandrsquo;s Wickerman with our friends Detour filming was one of our ultimate highlights of 2011. He really deserves a massive audience.andrsquo;Herald Scotland:King Tutandrsquo;s Summer Nights review 27/07/11andlsquo;Also known as Glasgow-based Julian Corrie, our electro-melodist dispatched a colourful, dexterous blaze of machine-balladry and dance-floor anthems which underscored why many eyes are on Miaoux Miaouxandrsquo;s every moveandrsquo;Sucking Lemons blog:andlsquo;This Monday sees the release of an absolute belter of a track by Miaoux Miaoux on the brilliantly structured Eli andamp; Oz singles label.andnbsp; Itandrsquo;s never sounded as good as this.andrsquo;

<description><![CDATA[Crybaby make music for grown-ups, music for those amongst us who know that both pain and pleasure can be brutal but temporary, so you should hang onto their redemptive and restorative power as long as you can.
The first single, I Cherish The Heartbreak More Than The Love That I Lost (released 19th March) is a love song to heartbreak, and a statement of intent for the album as a whole. What Am I Supposed To Do Without You Now? takes the view of a lover turned carer in a relationship with a dementia sufferer. A Misery Of Love tackles the problem arising when two people find themselves stuck together through circumstance or fear of change and the resentment that can create, while When The Lights Go Out is about saying goodbye to someone close and finding solace in your memories when they've gone. Crybabyandrsquo;s songs look at the devices and tools we use to gain the upper hand in relationships, how we cope with the presence andndash; and the loss andndash; of others, and they do all that in a wonderful, moving sort of way we can all understand.
Bristol's Danny Coughlan is from a large, musical Irish family and being a musician was his only ambition from an early age - school, was, andldquo;at best utterly dull and at worst terrifying.andrdquo; As the years went on Danny would make music under many guises, from a heavy metal band at school to a sharply dressed mod-soul band Babel, who were signed to Acid Jazz offshoot People Tree. However, it wasn't until November 2010 when Danny, paying the bills by working on a building site, bought a 4-track tape machine on eBay and began to write a load of new songs that drew on all the records heandrsquo;s loved since childhood.
andnbsp;His demos came to the attention of Helium Records who put Danny in the studio with Merrick (Chris Hughes) from Adam andamp; The Ants, who plays drums on several songs and co-produced the record with Mark Frith. What emerged from the sessions was Crybaby proper. Named after Garnet Mimmsandrsquo; Cry Baby andndash; one of the truly seminal songs in the development of soul music, it was famously covered by Janis Joplin andndash; the name also references the John Waters film and hints at that peculiarly lachrymose strain of early 60s RnB. The resulting self-titled album is a collection of blissfully spare, fully focussed pieces propelled by dramatic imagery and gripping melody.

The game-changing debut is the lifeblood of their sonic manifesto and a record of the very highest darkwave calibre, penned by five friends with their eyes fixed firmly on the prize.Produced by Ken and Jolyon Thomas (Sigur Ros, M83, David Bowie), itandrsquo;s born from the kind of delicious theatricality which impels a top-drawer show, rattling with reverb and smouldering with synths. Itandrsquo;s a cult classic in-the-making.andnbsp;Thomas Cohenandrsquo;s singular battle cry sounds the starting pistol on the gargantuan andlsquo;Faith Unfoldsandrsquo; andndash; and first single andlsquo;Amber Handsandrsquo; andndash; out April 30th andndash; is its brooding, oscillating arch nemesis. Then thereandrsquo;s andlsquo;Requiemandrsquo; andndash; the black sheep (figuratively speaking), written in the countryside, not the city.andnbsp;But S.C.U.M have saved the best andlsquo;til last with choice cut andlsquo;Whitechapelandrsquo;; a future-disco juggernaut washed in otherworldy Mellotron. Itandrsquo;s perhaps the biggest surprise on the record and also the bandandrsquo;s collective favourite. andldquo;Itandrsquo;s the end of the journey on all levels andndash; itandrsquo;s about letting go,andrdquo; explains Keyboard player and Guitarist Samuel Kilcoyne. andldquo;The keyboard sounds deliberately like a waterfall and when we tried it, it was the longest song we had on the album and the most joyous.andrdquo; How did it all begin?andnbsp;When Thomas Cohen (vocals) met Bradley Baker (synthesisers) on a local bus back in 2008, they laid bare plans to form a band and got to work straight away, taking their name from Valerie Solanasandrsquo; bile-scorched feminist manifesto of 1967 - Society For Cutting Up Men.andnbsp;Fate dealt a hand in bringing Samuel Kilcoyne into the S.C.U.M fold. Sandwiched between his Dad and David Gest, he stumbled across the pair performing at a andldquo;surrealandrdquo; Shoreditch gallery opening and volunteered his services, at first on guitar and then on the Moog. Mellissa Rigby (drums) and Huw Webb (bass) were invited along for the ride, and so began their quest for musical enlightenment.Since then, theyandrsquo;ve toured with The Kills, performed all over Europe and the UK and experienced the ultimate dream-come-true last year; sharing a stage and dressing room with their musical heroes andndash; Swans andndash;at ATPandrsquo;s Iandrsquo;ll Be Your Mirror. Playing second fiddle to the earth-shaking tour de force that is Grinderman, PJ Harvey, Portishead and Beach House, among others, was a pretty sure-fire way of whipping the bandandnbsp; into shape. andldquo;We were so honoured be first on that stage and to be included in the bill was something else,andrdquo; gushes Sam. andnbsp;However modern their sound might be, S.C.U.M are very much a andlsquo;bandandrsquo;, in the traditional sense of the word; five members on an equal footing but with carefully defined roles as individuals. andldquo;Our music has to come from absolutely everyone,andrdquo; asserts Sam.andnbsp; andldquo;It has to be a collective whereby every single person is doing their own, invaluable thing. Itandrsquo;s not about egos; weandrsquo;re all friends and we love being where we are.andrdquo;andnbsp;From Webbandrsquo;s skeleton bass, Baker and Kilcoyneandrsquo;s soundscapes and synth lines to Rigbyandrsquo;s percussive reigning in, Cohenandrsquo;s histrionic, art-house stage presence certainly makes S.C.U.M stand out from the crowd. 90s children with their hearts clearly in the 80s, theirs is a pop trip neatly balancing the innovative with the rapturously danceable, the utilitarian with the excessive and the down-to-earth with the downright theatrical.

<description><![CDATA[WALLS are back with a headline show at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen.
WALLSandrsquo; Alessio Natalizia and Sam Willis donandrsquo;t deal in perfect wholes. The Kompakt duo return swiftly on the back of 2010andrsquo;s critically lauded self titled debut, an album that picked up Mojoandrsquo;s coveted Electronic Album Of The Year, featured in NMEandrsquo;s end-of-year lists, not to mention winning fans such as of Jamie XX, Caribou, James Holden and impressing US trio Battles so much that theyandrsquo;ve invited the pair on tour around the US this coming October. Yet it isnandrsquo;t these admittedly impressive accolades that make the announcement of second LP andlsquo;Coracleandrsquo; such an anticipated one; what makes WALLS so alluring is the fully immersive experience of their mellifluous electronica andndash; reaching out far and wide to pull influences sonic, emotional and theoretical together into patterns of blissful phantasmagoria.Taking their debut as the prototype, Willis and Natalizia have taken those initial early-sunrise evocations and pushed them to even more grandiose expanse. andlsquo;Coracleandrsquo; also takes a more dance-orientated stance, the soft-edged rhythms of ambient combining with older influences from the protean Detroit techno and Chicago house music of Juan Atkins, Mr Fingers et al to propel the likes of opener andlsquo;Into Our Midstandrsquo; and lead-off single andlsquo;Sunporchandrsquo; forth. Yet, as stated, WALLS donandrsquo;t deal in perfect wholes; sonic shapes often collide in slow motion, whilst a greater usage of guitars and pedals andndash; twisted to push the instruments beyond their comfort zone andndash; have further cemented links to krautrock (Cluster / Popul Vuh) and shoegaze (MBV / Ulrich Schnauss.) At times aural ideas bleed together, sometimes one pushing the other into the background, elsewhere combining to morph into something new.
andnbsp;
Praise for WALLSandrsquo; debut: NME - 9/10 - andldquo;Feeling as fresh as Boards Of Canada, cLOUDDEAD and Spiritualized did at their inceptions this is the must-have original soundtrack for intronauts everywhereandrdquo; MOJO - Electronic Album Of The Year VICE - 9/10 - andldquo;A blissed out synth-pop mini masterpieceandrdquo; THE GUARDIAN - 4/5 andldquo;a dreamy blend of slow electronica, glitchy beats and German influences such as Tangerine Dreamandrdquo; iDJ - 9/10 "A stunning debut"

<description><![CDATA[andnbsp;
Julia Holter second album, Ekstasis, is a collection of songs written across the span of three years in Los Angeles, California.
Holter's songwriting stems from a mythological reverence of that which is incomprehensibly beautiful. Her Eating the Stars EP (2007) was a first attempt at musically transcribing this beauty, while discovering the honest enjoyment of unadulterated creativity. The anonymous authorship and shimmering gold detail of medieval illuminated manuscripts particularly inspired the ornately-orchestrated pop song mystery of Stars. Holter's debut album Tragedy (Leaving Records, 2011) embraced similar strains of shimmer, but used sparser textures in a narrative context.

Ekstasis marks a return to the playful searching of Stars, but guided by newly-learned disciplines, slightly better technology, and nearly limitless home recording time. Formative experiences at Cal Arts studying with Michael Pisaro and in India singing with harmonium under guru Pashupati nath Mishra marked a slight detour for Holter in what started as a more traditional composition route. The trajectory leading to the creation of Ekstasis suggests her thirst for knowledge and experience.
While Ekstasis reflects the conventions of her classical training, the album is also uncannily, if unknowingly, poppy. Holter's approach to crafting the songs of Ekstasis centered around what she describes as, "open ear decisions: what seemed to sound best for that moment." This blindness to reference unintentionally steers Ekstasis along the experimental pop spectrum most commonly associated to New York's Downtown music micro-universe of the 80s, specifically the works of Laurie Anderson and Arthur Russell.
and#65532;
and#65532;With the blindness that leads Ekstasis, there are also many compositional methods at play. "Marienbad" was built while playing around on a Fender Rhodes with imagined imagery of topiary gardens and scenes from the song's film namesake in mind. The entirety of "Boy in the Moon" - the Casio SK-1 noodles, melody, and lyrics - was improvised over a seven minute catharsis. The melody and lyrics for "Four Gardens" were written spontaneously while rearranging an older song on a loop pedal for a live performance. "This is Ekstasis" contains a bass line built from a medieval isorhythm technique, allowing it to maintain a sense of repetition, but shift slightly with every turn.
With each song, there is a unique story and approach, but all are united by the magnetism of the medieval manuscripts and Holter's "desire to get outside of my body and find what I can't define." It took Holter stepping outside of her solely self-written and recorded body of music to engage fellow Los Angeles musician and friend Cole M. Greif-Neill in the final phase of Ekstasis. Greif-Neil added perspective and brought out the greatest sonic potential that each song secretly contained. Holter says, "The first time I heard his mix of 'Marienband" the garden became so rich. Suddenly there were bright greens, the statues' edges defined, the fountains pouringandhellip;"

Ekstasis is an album indulged in these beautiful, simple, unfolding life mysteries. "All of these fleeting images and muses are so important," says Holter. "As with the manuscripts, when I see them, I hear voices. I am continually following the voices in the gold leaf. I can't know them, but I will follow their beautiful song."

Entering into its sixth year, Field Day will be returning to Victoria Park with its unique formula of pioneering line up coupled with village fete mentality, all in the heart of east London. Due to the London 2012 Olympics, Field Day will now take place over the Diamond Jubilee June Bank Holiday weekend on Saturday 2nd June.Hosted by forward-thinking promoters Eat Your Own Ears, Bugged Out!, Bleed and Lanzarote, Field Day is a festival that has become synonymous with imaginative and progressive bills and 2012 is certainly shaping up to be no exception to this rule. Promoter Tom Baker of Eat Your Own Ears says: "Iandrsquo;m really excited about the line-up for Field Day 2012. Itandrsquo;s been something of a challenge after last yearandrsquo;s was so strong but with Franz Ferdinand closing the Eat Your Own Ears stage and with acts like Tortoise playing Iandrsquo;m hoping it will be just as good! As ever itandrsquo;s hugely exciting to welcome acts from further afield; Iandrsquo;m particularly delighted to announce Afrocubism featuring Toumani and some incredible Cuban musicians andndash; theyandrsquo;re going to blow peopleandrsquo;s minds!"Among the first acts to be confirmed are Glasgow's thin white dukes, Franz Ferdinand. Arguably the most influential British band of the past decade, Franz Ferdinand are tipped for a major comeback next year, and this will be the first time the quartetandnbsp; take to the Field Day stage. With a highly anticipated fourth album on Domino Records scheduled for release in 2012, expect big things from this headline performance.Frontman Alex Kapranos says:andnbsp; andldquo;I'm looking forward to Field Day this coming summer. I've been the last couple of years and the line-up's always been excellent. Electrelane playing Small Town Boy and Martin Creed's set were last yearandrsquo;s highlights for me. This year's line-up is already shaping up well with Metronomy and R Stevie Moore on the bill. Being in walking distance of a good pub at the end of the night works well for me too...andrdquo;Playing their only 2012 UK festival performance at Field Day are the mesmerising Beirut. From humble origins in New Mexican singer-songwriter, Zach Condonandrsquo;s bedroom in 2001, Beirut have gone on to travel the world both figuratively through albums such as andlsquo;The Flying Club Cupandrsquo; and literally, having toured the world over. Expect plenty of musical wanderlust that evokes everything from Balkan funeral marches to Mariachi kissed soul, from this not-to-be-missed exclusive UK performance.Metronomyandrsquo;s Mercury Music Prize nominated third album, andlsquo;The English Rivieraandrsquo;, has been one of the soundtracks to 2011. Characterised throughout with a sense of warmth and richness, it is in parts reminiscent of seminal 1970s West Coast studio albums from the likes of Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles, but due to Joseph Mountandrsquo;s studio wizardry, the record sounds vibrant and entirely of its time. Expect a celebratory performance to perfectly soundtrack Field Dayandrsquo;s Village Mentality festivities. World music has always played a significant part in Field Dayandrsquo;s line ups and 2012 certainly looks to continue that trend with performances from the legendary Afrocubism. Arguably one of the most long-awaited collaborations in recent music history, Afrocubism is the fruition of a plan hatched over fourteen years ago, to bring together musicians from Mali and Cuba. Nobody knows exactly why the Malians didnandrsquo;t go to Havana when they were supposed to, but when they didnandrsquo;t show up the Cubans decided to use the studio time anyway and the result was the eponymous Buena Vista Social Club album. Now thanks to British producer Nick Gold, the original plan has finally been realised, with Cuban singer/guitarist and original Buena Vista Social Club member, Eliades Ochoa leading this distinctive collaboration that also includes the Grammy Award winning Toumani Diabatandeacute;, the Jimi Hendrix of the Kora.Bringing their unique brand of visceral post-rock to Field Day will be Tortoise. With band members typically multi-tasking across a number of different instruments, rhythmically complex and harmonically rich textures are guaranteed. Widescreen instrumentals will also be provided by Revere, who comprise violin, cello, keys and brass section in their line-up. By incorporating everything from gypsy songs, post-rock, film scores and gospel, they are able to produce dramatic music which moves from tiny, musicand#8208;box openings to cacophonous walls of sound. From being a red hot tip at the start of the year, The Vaccines can lay as good a claim as anyone to being the breakthrough band of the year. Having delivered on their early promise with a razor sharp debut LP and a series of increasingly huge live shows, their set is certain to combine retro guitar riffs with a storming upbeat tempo to get pulses racing. andnbsp;From last yearandrsquo;s most highly anticipated band to the next, London five-piece Zulu Winter and Liverpudlian newcomers Outfit have been regularly topping andlsquo;Ones to Watchandrsquo; lists for 2012. They sit happily with fellow newcomers To Kill A King alongside more established acts on the 2012 bill, including Buckinghamshire bred purveyor of andlsquo;seaside melodiesandrsquo; Baxter Dury and the ethereal Here We Go Magic, described by Pitchfork as creators of "hazy electronic textures, endlessly-spiralling lyrical loops, occasional forays into extended sections of ambience and noise." Meanwhile Mogwai managed Scottish four-piece Errors are sure to assemble their archetypal electronic orchestra for a set that will no doubt oscillate from shoegazing sounds to more lo-fi techno endeavours, while husband and wife duo Peaking Lights will bring their individual dub-pop psychedelic sound to East London. Delving into more dance driven pursuits, Field Day will be welcoming back SBTRKTandrsquo;s mesmerising, bass-heavy party to the Bugged Out! stage. Representing the festivalandrsquo;s dance music contingent will be fellow experimental, genre-crossing underground artists, Julio Bashmore and Warp label mates Hudson Mohawke and Rustie, all of whom have enjoyed stratospheric rises of late thanks to their ability to manipulate and fuse everything and anything from 2step, UK funky, dubstep, deep house, garage and US Randrsquo;Nandrsquo;B. DJ/producer Maya Jane Coles will also be taking to the decks with her unique brand of deep tech-house.Gold Pandaandrsquo;s debut, andlsquo;Lucy Shinerandrsquo; seemed an overwhelming choice of most baffling omission from this yearandrsquo;s Mercury Music Prize nominations. A most human of dance albums, it has become a word of mouth classic and itandrsquo;s follow-up will be one of the most eagerly awaited records of 2012. Elsewhere, Austrian electronica stalwart, Fennesz will undoubtedly be offering an altogether more ambient and wistful set, delivered with equally calculated agility and skill, while brothers Tom and Ben Page aka Rocketnumbernine will use drums, percussion and raw electronics to conjure intense musical landscapes. With New York born electronic producer Com Truise also confirmed, electronic nostalgia will be order of the day with his unique blend of manipulated 80s synth based electro.Texan born musician Papa M aka David Pajo will be bringing stirring folk and country, while Chicago multi-instrumentalist Andrew Birdandrsquo;s irreverent voice and stream of consciousness lyrics will form the basis for a captivating performance.andnbsp; American anti-folk singer/songwriter and comic book creator Jeffery Lewis is a welcomed addition, whilst Nashville native and DIY pioneer, R. Stevie Moore will showcase his indie approach to music through a set of mainly self-released tracks in what is his first ever London festival, having played for the first time in 40 years in Autumn 2011. Moore is the oldest son of Bob Moore, veteran Nashville A-Team bassist, producer as well as a longtime sideman for Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and many others.
Field Day is delighted to confirm a further 6 acts to the 2012 bill.  Joining the initial 27-strong initial line up is Mazzy Star with their  beautiful yet haunting acoustic-flavoured ballads inspired by heavy  blues and folk elements. Returning to the scene after a mammoth 15 year  hiatus with new material early this year, this is a not-to-be-missed  performance from this Californian duo.
London four-piece Theme Park will join fellow rising stars and  nominees in BBCandrsquo;s Sound of 2012 poll Spector, who have truly hit their  stride with their anthemic sound and high octane live shows led by  frontman Fred Macpherson. Meanwhile Grimes is sure to draw from genres  as varied as New Age, K-pop, industrial and glitch, cementing her  position as a truly flexible and evolving artist.
Also added are post-punk outfit THE MEN who are coming straight from  the Brooklyn underground to Victoria Park next June. Pioneering  Sacramento collective Death Grips will also be performing adding a hip  hop element to the 2012 line up, while home-grown talent Zomby will no  doubt prove that DJ sets can be as compelling as any live band by  negotiating skilfully between genres in ever more innovative and  progressive ways.
As with years gone by, Field Day will be providing ample entertainment for those looking for respite from the music in the Village Mentality area on The Village Green. Expect traditional side stalls inspired by country pastimes and weird and wonderful fete games such as Blindfold Sweetcorn Husking Championship, Scone Throwing, Vegetable Discus and Human Wheelbarrow.For more information go to:www.fielddayfestivals.comTickets:Early Bird tickets (on sale for a very limited time online) andndash; andpound;39.50www.seetickets.com

<description><![CDATA[The Apple Cart, a day festival catered towards both adults and children alike presents London with an entirely fresh, multi-disciplinary take on the festival experience: no other event in the capital has award winning cabaret stars, Turner prize winning artists and world class magicians sit happily alongside reputable comedians and established music legends all on the same bill, on the same day. Making its final line-up announcement of the year, The Apple Cart is pleased to announce some exciting new additions.
Joining the heavyweight comedy bill will be seasoned improviser and andlsquo;Never Mind The Buzzcocksandrsquo; stalwart Phill Jupitus. Performing alongside his comedy chums, Jupitus will undertake bizarre suggestions from the audience and make them happen, live and utterly impromptu. Famed for being the only remaining member of the original line up of andlsquo;Never Mind The Buzzcocksandrsquo; which is now in its twenty-third series, Phill has regularly performed stand-up and even turned his hand to musicals, receiving much critical acclaim for his portrayal of Edna Turnblad in the West End stage hit musical Hairspray in 2009.
American writer, musician and deadpan comic genius Rich Hall will also be heading to Victoria Park for The Apple Cart Festival. andnbsp;In addition to performing his award winning stand-up, Rich will be performing his renowned Hoedown which sees him invite audience members to take to the stage with him alongside a fully working bar and a host of musical chums for a hilarious mash up of music and comedy as they cover everything from Steve Earle to Dr Dre in a hilarious alcohol-fueled knees up.
Britpop pioneer and Supergrass main man Gaz Coombes has been also been confirmed to play, showcasing new material in addition to indie classics, along with Aidan Moffat (front man of Scottish seminal indie band Arab Strap) and multi-instrumentalist Bill Wells who sparked up a relationship after meeting in a pub eight years ago and have recently released their debut album andlsquo;Everythingandrsquo;s Getting Olderandrsquo;.andnbsp;andnbsp;
Soulful and hyped new female singer Lianne La Havas shall be bringing her beautiful heartbreak songs to Victoria Park ahead of the release of her much anticipated debut album in July, and fellow andlsquo;BBC Sound of 2012andrsquo; musician Jamie N Commons (+ five piece band) will bring his arsenal of songs that sound as though they were written for Johnny Cash.andnbsp;
In addition to the high caliber of music and comedy talent that will be gracing The Apple Cart, the cabaret tent will be making a welcomed return to Victoria Park adding some spice into the mix. The salacious line-up features Dickie Beau and Kiki Kaboom who won andlsquo;Best Alternativeandrsquo; andandnbsp;andlsquo;Best Burlesqueandrsquo; performers respectively at the recent London Cabaret Awards. The fabulous LipSinkers are back after proving a hit at last yearandrsquo;s festival and adult magic will come courtesy of Piff the Magic Dragon and mime/drag action from Ryan Styles.
The Art Car Boot Fair returns to the Apple Cart and is proud to present andlsquo;The Art of Influenceandrsquo;. There will be all manner of ways to make your mark, including by gun, plus the 30 second art masterclass, and the art improvement clinic where anything you have on you can be transformed into art by a team of on-site artists. Sideshow attractions include the 2 hour portrait, the potato print portrait and poem portraits. Additionally, music will be provided courtesy of east London haunt the Bethnal Green Working Menandrsquo;s Club. Plus, adults and children alike can help make the biggest splat painting and take a piece of abstract expressionism home with you, rolled up in your pocket!

<description><![CDATA[Peaking Lights is husband and wife dup Aaron Coyes and Indra Dunis. They have channeled a rich background of a lives dedicated to music, touring, and pushing artistic broundries into a band that reflects their relationship; a sum that transcends its parts. Finding themselves in a cross country move from the Bay Area to a house built into a barn in rural Wisconsin, Peaking Lights sound origin was created with humility and love with a personal touch directed by Aaronandrsquo;s home built synths, effects units, and rhythm machines. Peaking Lights have maintained a sound distinction all of their own fusing influences as wide ranging as afro beat, disco, psychedelic rock, synth pop, krautrock, reggae and noise into songs that are as smooth, lush and elegant as they are propulsive, rhythmic and noisy.Julia Shammas Holter is a classically-trained keytarist from Echo Park. After infiltrating Human Ear Music headquarters dressed as an intern, she wrote and recorded her own release on the label. "Quite honestly one of the best albums of any description you'll hear in 2011... A stunning, stunning album and an absolute must regardless of the kind of music you usually listen to.

<description><![CDATA[andlsquo;Gorgeous George can only be described as one of the most exciting live and recording acts to have emerged from London in recent times. Their original and completely unique blend of Eastern European folk musics with a distinctly youthful South London wisp has been leaving audiences with their jaws dropped for just under a year now. They deliver hillarious tales of frighteningly believable and relative characters that make listening to them feel like one big fly on the wall documentary in a council estate, married with a musical skill, knowledge and stage presence which is rarely, if ever, seen in a band so young and new.andrsquo;

<description><![CDATA[LIARSandnbsp;ANNOUNCE SHOW AND FIRST DETAILS OF NEW ALBUM
RELEASE DATE: 4 JUNE 2012
Liars andndash; Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross - announce the first details of a new album, out on Mute on 4 June 2012, their sixth studio album and follow up to 2010andrsquo;s critically lauded Sisterworld (The Quietusandrsquo; Album of the Year, #9 in the NMEandrsquo;s Albums of the Year who said of the album "...this incredible album is your passport to a better place.andrdquo;).
Liars will return to Europe for live dates including Field Day andndash; 2 June, and a series of intimate shows, including Londonandrsquo;s XOYO andndash; 12 June and Manchesterandrsquo;s Ruby Lounge andndash; 15 June (full list below).
The announcement follows a series of clips which the band uploaded on their Tumblr, http://amateurgore.tumblr.com/ which has given rise to much speculation on where this ever evolving, ever influential band were headed.
The new album recording saw the band working more collaboratively thanandnbsp;on previous recordings, and began when Angus Andrew and Aaron Hemphill moved into anandnbsp;isolated cabin in the mountains toandnbsp;begin writing.
Recorded in LA, self-produced by the band with additional production from Daniel Miller and mixed by Tom Biller, the album, is hard to shake, tough to pin down, and impossible to get out of oneandrsquo;s head even after an initial listen. Simultaneously the most accessible and most challenging release from these iconoclasts, it is both a summation of Liarsandrsquo; work up to now, and a complete break from anything youandrsquo;d ever heard the band do previously.
andldquo;If we arenandrsquo;t confusing people, itandrsquo;s not us,andrdquo; Andrew laughs. andldquo;If we arenandrsquo;t confusing ourselves with what we do, then weandrsquo;ve failed.andrdquo;
Plus support from Vessel

He's currently in the studio recording his debut album, to be released later this year.Taking his cues from everywhere from the introspective melodies of Elliot Smith and Jeff Buckley to the stirring, uplifting music of Arcade Fire and Bruce Springsteen, the only clue heandrsquo;s given us to his sound is a grainy Youtube clip that leaves us wanting more.

Collaboration is always a risky business, so to see one as fruitful as Hudson Mohawke and Lunice's TNGHT project come together is a powerful thing. Circulating as a radio rip, the first track to see the light of day is "Bugg'n" and it has been hammering dancefloors from Australia to Texas. Folding the sonics of rap and Randamp;B into a fearlessly forward-thinking mutation, the TNGHT EP proving to be one of 2012's most exciting and anticipated packages.Hear Bugg'n' hereTickets available from:

<description><![CDATA[The one and only TWIN SHADOWandnbsp;comes to Dingwalls this July.
The name might as well be a movie title:andnbsp;Twin Shadowandnbsp;in andhellip;andnbsp;Forget. Only itandrsquo;s not a movie; itandrsquo;s a panoramic LP that introduces us to the twilight zone tale of George Lewis Jr.
The troubled son of a hairdresser and a andldquo;teacher who lived many livesandrdquo; (semi-pro football, massage therapy, film maker and other things weandrsquo;ll tell you about when youandrsquo;re older), George was born in the Dominican Republic and spent his formative years in Florida. Not in a happening spot like Miami, though. Try an island that happened to be the winter home base of the Ringling Brothersandrsquo; Circus and palm tree-flanked old people.
If you think thatandrsquo;s strange? You donandrsquo;t know the half of it. And neither does George, although heandrsquo;s trying to remember; trying to piece the sepia-toned scenes together along with a debut album thatandrsquo;s all about letting go. Or is it? Like an art-house double feature that leaves you wondering what the hell just happened in the best way possible,andnbsp;Forgetandnbsp;tells a spellbinding story without spelling everything out.andnbsp;
Forgetandnbsp;isnandrsquo;t tethered to any trends or specific genre, either. Instead, it seems almost to be hovering above the landscape of decades gone past; checking in at rest stops with it's wheels pointed directly toward the future. So donandrsquo;t be surprised to hear things abruptly shift from synth-swept soundscapes (andldquo;I Canandrsquo;t Wait,andrdquo; andldquo;Castles In the Snowandrdquo;) to glimmers of gossamer dance music (andldquo;For Now,andrdquo; andldquo;Shooting Holes At the Moonandrdquo;) or full-on power balladry (andldquo;Slowandrdquo;).
And who is that sitting next to Georgeandrsquo;s directorandrsquo;s chair?andnbsp; Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear in the role of producer, working closely withandnbsp;Twin Shadow, fine-tuningandnbsp;Forgetandrsquo;s special effects while maintaining the memory-wracked mood that George spent months perfecting in his Brooklyn apartment. Brooklyn based label Terrible Records will be takingandnbsp;Twin Shadow'sandnbsp;Forgetandnbsp;on as their very first LP release.
andldquo;Itandrsquo;s bedroom recorded music, but itandrsquo;s been done with the same attention as many classic B-movies,andrdquo; he says. andldquo;Itandrsquo;s not like a slapdash home video, though; itandrsquo;s someone operating with very little at 100-percent of their ability.andrdquo;
andnbsp;In other words,andnbsp;Forgetandnbsp;is like The Seventh Seal filtered through the drive-in feel of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!. Meaning: lots of tight shots, careful lighting, and a lingering sense that somethingandrsquo;s not quite rightandmdash;a film adaptation of Georgeandrsquo;s life thatandrsquo;s essentially a 40-minute waking dream. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[
Experimental pop artists Bleeding Heart Narrative now reside in East London. Starting out as the solo project of Oliver Barrett, the project has evolved in to an impressive collection of uniquely skilled multi-instrumentalists. The sextet weave together beautiful sounds with a haunting intensity and yet always with an eye on pop experimentation. They incorporate their more abstract influences into traditional song structures, applying pop sensibilities to them as they go. You might hear the shimmer of Tortoise or Steve Reich built into a song that could be played on an Arcade Fire-sized stage, or pick out a Battle-esque repetition in a Mogwai-sized crescendo - but it'll always be Bleeding Heart Narrative you're listening to.

Praise for Bleeding Heart Narrative:

andldquo;andhellip; a six-piece experimental pop outfit, they cemented their place in our affections last year with a beautiful performance at Londonandrsquo;s Union Chapel. andndash; The Best of CMU Approved 2011

"... proving just how brilliantly diverse a five-track EP can be when its creators are truly inventive and unwilling to settle for even an ounce of filler " - Line of Best Fitandnbsp;
andnbsp;
".... BHN can also boast a warm pop sensibility and bold approach to polyrhythmic arranging that set them apart from the pack." - The Stool Pigeon

"...an excellent band. Top marks." - andnbsp;Norman Records, 5/5

"Bleeding Heart Narrativeandrsquo;s EP may be the most exciting thing to come out of the UK in recent years. "andnbsp;

" ...developing into serious contenders for the 'next big thing' intercontinental title."

Neneh Cherry andnbsp;is a true artist, and today holds an indisputable position in the music world. Through her own desire to reinvent, progress and improve, she has flirted - and this better than anybody else - with a variety of musical genres from Soul to Rock, from Jazz to Rap and she can be named as one of the co-founders of Trip Hop. At the same time she remains untainted and as fresh as the day she stepped into the spotlight with her first solo release 16 years ago. Putting her main focus on life and family she has only released 3 studio albums so far alongside her collaborations with other artists. But her rare work has gained credit and critical acclaim and many of her songs are today considered pop classics. And Neneh is still around, just check out the news and see it for yourself: She's here and spinning the wheel for her next big hit!!!

<description><![CDATA[andnbsp;
Atlas Sound is the solo moniker of Deerhunter frontman/provocateur Bradford Cox, so named since 1994, when a sixth-grade Bradford made recordings on a karaoke cassette machine bearing the words andlsquo;Atlas Soundandrsquo;.

Though it was Coxandrsquo;s earliest musical incarnation, it wasnandrsquo;t until 2008 that the first Atlas Sound album emerged, Let The Blind Lead Those Who See But Cannot Feel. The genesis of the record can be traced back to those sixth-grade musical experiments; a time when he discovered through reading a Beck interview that his familyandrsquo;s disused karaoke machine could be used as a rudimentary multi-tracking device. As Coxandrsquo;s tirelessly updated blog attests, with its caverns of freely available covers, demos and mixtapes, such recording processes are central to his music, colouring the intimate feel of Atlas Sound in a manner more apparent than when writing under the guise of Deerhunter.

If its predecessor was a record of fragile beauty and acute experimentalism that spoke of its bedroom genesis, the second Atlas Sound album, Logos, arrived in 2009 with a far more rooted pop sensibility. Featuring collaborations with Animal Collectiveandrsquo;s Noah Lennox and Laetitia Sadler of Stereolab, the album expanded on the often-insular tendencies of the first Atlas Sound record, this time outward gazing and almost sunshine loving in its ebullience. Moving away from piercing introspection and towards a grand pop plateau, Cox managed to translate his music into a more universally engaging form while retaining the intimate charms of the project.

Citing the andldquo;ideas that I can't make work with a five piece rock bandandrdquo; as the basis of his solo material, Coxandrsquo;s work as Atlas Sound represents a feral and prolific musical voice. With its scorched beauty, stream of consciousness, and wonderfully cohesive pop narrative, Atlas Sound is another outlet for Coxandrsquo;s relentless creativity, distinctly remaining the product of just one manandrsquo;s vision.

<description><![CDATA[
In a typical teenagerandrsquo;s New Mexico bedroom, Zach Condon recorded Gulag Orkestar shortly after quitting college, with some help from local musicians Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost (A Hawk and a Hacksaw). For him, it was nothing new, having recorded hundreds of songs since he was fifteen the same way. This time, however, a flood of attention followed, as online raves lead to reverential fandom, international acclaim, and a tsunami of interviews, photoshoots and features, as Condon and his newly formed band traveled to Russia, Poland, Turkey and throughout North America and Europe.

Astonishingly, he proved himself as talented a bandleader as composer. New songs were written, album songs reworked, and the bandandrsquo;s shows quickly developed to dramatic heights far beyond its mere months-long existence. This band went on to record an EP, Lon Gisland, in 2007, which marked the first Beirut recordings with the live ensemble. Half a year later, Beirut came out with another album, The Flying Club Cup. Inspired by an obscure photo from 1910 depicting hot air balloons taking flight mere steps away from the Eiffel Tower, an image Zach stuck to the wall for inspiration, The Flying Club Cup is an homage to Franceandrsquo;s culture, fashion, history and music.

In 2009, Beirut released the double EP March of the Zapotec andamp; Realpeople: Holland. The first was partly recorded in Oaxaca with the Mexican Banda Jimenez, and a more pronounced South-American flavor. The second EP andlsquo;Hollandandrsquo; was credited to Condonandrsquo;s old name Realpeople and consists of five electrotracks.

Summer 2011 saw the release of The Rip Tide on Condonandrsquo;s own Pompeii Label, Beirutandrsquo;s first proper LP since The Flying Club Cup. Written in isolation during a snowy upstate winter, the album marked a stark change in emotional direction, that is to say, inward. Reflecting less on the travels and travails borne of the wanderlust struck musician, instead, The Rip Tide has crystallized the sounds of Beirutandrsquo;s past into a cohesive and remarkable whole, all while maintaining the unmistakable aesthetic that has brought them around the world, and home again.

andlsquo;Happy Soupandrsquo; is worlds away from the darkness and romantic disappointments of previous LPs andlsquo;Len Parrotandrsquo;s Memorial Liftandrsquo; (2002) and andlsquo;Floor Showandrsquo; (2005), so much so that Dury refers to his new effort as andldquo;seaside psychedeliaandrdquo;. Its ten tracks narrate everyday tales of dancing on the patio in Marigolds and seedy sex in Portugal, yet Baxterandrsquo;s lyrical playfulness and acute character analysis ensure the songs are anything but mundane. Just take the amusing picture painted of Londonandrsquo;s Portobello Road in love song andlsquo;Trellicandrsquo; or andlsquo;The Sunandrsquo; in which Madelaine Heartandrsquo;s honeyed guest vocals swim in-between bursts of Baxterandrsquo;s mad, infectious laughter and colourful, rippling guitars. First single andlsquo;Claireandrsquo; meanwhile slings his cockney charm around bus fare funk and unforgettable bass hooks. Itandrsquo;s not quite all rainbows and carousels though andndash; had Joy Division scored a Batman soundtrack, the looping bass and menacing spoken-drawl of andlsquo;Picnic On The Edgeandrsquo; would undoubtedly have made the cut.

<description><![CDATA[After a brilliant sold out show at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen in November the release of what is sure to be one of the best albums of 2012, and in anticipation of the long sold-out XOYO show next week, we are pleased to announce DJANGO DJANGO will headline Heaven on Halloween.
For the last three years, Django Django have been busy doing great things in the East London bedroom slept in by their drummer, producer and de facto leader David Maclean. The result of those great things is a great self-titled debut record.
Amid all the diverse moods and ideas ofandnbsp;Django Djangoandnbsp;(all there, perhaps, as the imagination wanders to stave off bedroom boredom?)andnbsp;itandrsquo;s a lyric from andldquo;Silver Raysandrdquo; that most capably sums up its parent album.

The lyrics can be read as a desire to explore first, and a tribute to what Dixon calls their decision to andldquo;stick to their gunsandrdquo; when outside forces tried to convince them to forget everything theyandrsquo;d seen.
"A lot of people expected us to ditch our recordings and start all over again, but that was never something we wanted to do. It's great to have a body of work andndash;andnbsp;something you can point to, and say this is the story so far.andrdquo;

<description><![CDATA[Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist and lyricist Andrew Bird picked up his first violin at the age of 4 and spent his formative years soaking up classical repertoire completely by ear. andnbsp;When it came time for a restless teen-ager to make his own way, it wasnandrsquo;t such a giant leap to Hungarian Gypsy music, early jazz, country blues, south Indian etc. It's fitting that now, though classically trained, he has opted to play his violin in a most unconventional manner, accompanying himself on glockenspiel and guitar, adding singing and whistling to the equation, and becoming a pop songwriter in the process. andnbsp; His work was first acclaimed in the concert setting by the curious attraction of one man generating the wealth of sound normally produced by an orchestra, seemingly composing, or at least structuring the songs. andnbsp;Passages of violin, guitar, voice and glockenspiel are looped and layered forging a texture of definitive hooks and rhythms out of spontaneous stabs and strums. Each night is unique; Andrew rarely replicates the album version, as beloved as they may be.  andnbsp; Since beginning his recording career in 1997, he has released eleven albums. andnbsp;His 2009 album Noble Beast won praise from Esquire, the New York Times Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, NPR, Rolling Stone, Spin, and many others. andnbsp;He followed the release with a worldwide tour that kicked off at Carnegie Hall and included appearances at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Radio City Music Hall, The Hollywood Bowl, the Sydney Opera House and the TED conference, along with a few hundred more destinations.  andnbsp; Amazon.com recently named Birdandrsquo;s Mysterious Production of Eggs one of the "100 Greatest Indie Rock Albums of All Time," and more recently his prior effort, The Swimming Hour, enjoyed a vinyl reissue andmdash;about which the typically sedate Pitchfork enthused: andnbsp;andldquo;a stroke of geniusandhellip;a killer batch of songs that add up to a sublimely enjoyable whole.andrdquo; andnbsp;More recently, contributed his rendition of Kermit classic 'Bein Green' to the new Muppets movie record The Green Album, as well as scored the original soundtrack for independent film Norman. A new full-length album will coming in the spring of 2012.

<description><![CDATA[
We are very pleased to present Mark Kozelek playing a very special show at the Union Chapel this autumn.

'Among The Leaves' is the 5th full length album by Mark Kozelek under the Sun Kil Moon moniker. Played almost entirely on nylon string guitar, this 17-song all original album was recorded between October 2011 and January 2012 in San Francisco. Among The Leaves - words which caught Markandrsquo;s attention from a John Connolly novel - finds Mark relaxed, singing playfully about his life as a musician while retaining the melancholic spirit of his 20 year catalog. Markandrsquo;s love for San Francisco and Northern California are at the heart of this new album. andldquo;My first album (Down Colorful Hill) was released in 1992andrdquo; says Kozelek, andldquo;but creatively, I feel like Iandrsquo;m just beginning. The new album was written and recorded impulsively, without second guessing. I didnandrsquo;t have that kind of confidence in the past.andrdquo; Unlike Red House Paintersandrsquo; epic Rollercoaster, described by Rolling Stone as andldquo;the slowest and mopiest self revelations ever put to tapeandrdquo; or Sun Kil Moonandrsquo;s Ghosts of the Great Highway, which Billboard Magazine called andldquo;heartbreaking,andrdquo; Among The Leaves displays a more raw and humorous side of Markandrsquo;s songwriting. Aaron Prellwitz, recording engineer of Red House Painters and all 5 Sun Kil Moon albums describes the latest effort as andldquo;wonderfully direct." Kozelek curiously ties together legends Joe Frazier, Bobby Fischer and Ed Gein in andlsquo;The Wineryandrsquo;, andlsquo;andlsquo;Song for Richard Collopyandrsquo; is a touching tribute to the late San Francisco guitar repairman, and andlsquo;Sunshine In Chicagoandrsquo; andndash; written just before taking the stage at a Chicago venue last year andndash; is a funny, self deprecating poke at life on the road. Though Among The Leaves is mostly in the solo, nylon string style of Admiral Fell Promises, a new ensemble of players joined Mark for a portion of the record, recalling the same spirit as April and Tiny Cities, but with a fresh, new sound.

'Among the Leaves' is available from 29th May on Caldo Verde Records.
