<description><![CDATA[We are pleased to announce Niki andamp; The Dove will be playing a very special show at the Sebright arms this February.
Niki andamp; the Dove is a band consisting of two members, lead vocalist and song writer Malin Dahlstrandouml;m and instrumentalist Gustaf Karlandouml;f, neither of whom, you may have noticed, is called Niki.
Formed in February 2010, Niki andamp; The Dove have spent the time since figuring out just how pop music works and then discovering new ways to break it. Their first single DJ, Ease My Mind, on leading UK independent Moshi Moshi, was one of the most striking debuts of the year immediately grabbing the attention of everyone from Artrocker through to The Sunday Times and the NME.
If DJ, Ease My Mind, revealed a precociously fully formed sound then its self-released follow up Mother Protect showed a band poised for great things. A riotous collision of barely constrained electronic pop and Malinandrsquo;s distinctive glacial vocals, Mother Protect, confirmed Niki andamp; The Dove as a unique talent and gained them heavy support from the likes of Annie Mac on Radio 1 and John Kennedy on XFM, despite being only available through the bandandrsquo;s website.
Inspired by the books they read, the conversations they have heard and the people theyandrsquo;ve met with a story to tell, Niki andamp; the Doveandrsquo;s songs are like the best fairytales full of magic and light but with an unsettling darkness hidden beneath the surface. Itandrsquo;s pop music but a world away from the production line aesthetics of much modern chart music.
With a background in writing for theatre and dance productions Niki andamp; The Doveandrsquo;s live show is an integral part of the band, and Niki andamp; The Dove like to involve their wide circle of talented friends and collaborators to ensure no two Niki andamp; The Dove shows are the same. In November 2010 they made their debut UK performance, leaving a sold out North London crowd in raptures and desperate for more.
As The Sunday Times described them Niki andamp; The Dove are a andldquo;band who you felt could knock off a chart-pop stunner with ease if only they could be bothered. Luckily for us, they clearly can't.andrdquo;

<description><![CDATA[Pianist Matthew Bourne will play at London's Cafandeacute; OTO on February 15th to mark the release of his first ever solo studio album, Montauk Variations (out Feb 7). Bourne's extraordinary physical performance on the intimate venue's grand piano is not to be missed.andnbsp;With Montauk Variations, Bourne has reinvented his approach by stripping away the clutter and quirkiness characteristic of previous work. Fragility and romanticism have come to the fore while the performances still carry the Bourne hallmarks of unpredictability and intensity. You can hear a selection of songs from Montauk Variations here now. Let me know if you'd like to hear the full album!andnbsp;Bourne first rose to prominence in 2001 when he won a Perrier Jazz Award, following that with the 'Innovation' accolade at the BBC Radio Jazz Awards in 2002. Since then he's worked with a multitude of different projects, including The Electric Dr M, Bourne/Davis/Kane, Bilbao Syndrome, Nostalgia 77, Trio Grande, Broadway Project and more.andnbsp;March 2012 will see Bourne head to China as part of a residency programme organised by The British Council and PRS For Music Foundation. Joining Imogen Heap, Jamie Woon and Gareth Bonello, the programme is designed to enable innovative British musicians to explore new musical trerritory, reach new audiences and write new material in the context of an emerging, international market. Click here for more details. andnbsp;A snippet of Matthew's recent show at Bishopsgate Institute was captured on camera by the team behind the residency programme and is well worth a peek to see the very talented man at work!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKrghP8P62g

Errors simultaneously announce a brilliant new album, and tour.
Errors Release Have Some Faith In Magic out on Rock Action Records January 30th 2012
Free download andlsquo;Earthscoreandrsquo; available now from hereandnbsp;
andnbsp;After a brief but hugely-influential time away Errors return with andlsquo;Have Some Faith In Magic,andrsquo; on Rock Action Records; their third album, it counts as far and away their greatest shift in sound yet, heralding in a sound of serenely cosmo-gazing sugar-tipped pop; previously hinted at with Spring single andlsquo;Magna Encarta,andrsquo; a further preview is provided with free downloadandnbsp; andlsquo;Earthscore.andrsquo;
A group who emerged at the tale end of a period when anything purely-instrumental and guitar-based became lazily tagged andldquo;post-rock,andrdquo; Errors have now distanced themselves from that loose genre so much that any fleeting comparison to it is now completely redundant. andlsquo;Have Some Faith In Magicandrsquo; is an LP of sprawling pop, with delicious hooks applied liberally across post-electro scatterings; a complete turn away from previously lauded albums andlsquo;Itandrsquo;s Not Something But It Is Like Whatever,andrsquo; and last yearandrsquo;s andlsquo;Come Down With Meandrsquo; - not least with vocals now being included prominently for the first time.
andldquo;It was just something that naturally happened,andrdquo; comments the groupandrsquo;s Steev Livingstone, andldquo;we had the idea to put vocals in the music a while ago but we always intended that they should be treated as another instrument. Weandrsquo;ve used them in a way that sits really naturally so the music and the vocals don't feel like separate entities.andrdquo;
andnbsp;
Fresh from a summer supporting label mates (and bosses) Mogwai in the US, Errors can announce that theyandrsquo;ll again be supporting the band at a dual homecoming gig at Glasgowandrsquo;s famous Barrowlands on December 22nd with a headlining tour taking place in February. Errorsandrsquo; fans have long had their faith rewarded by the band; their third album only looks set to continue that trends.

After great acclaim for Hall Music, and the long overdue return from LONEY DEAR, we can announce a show at Londonandrsquo;s Bush Hall.
"charming..uplifting..impossibly soothing" - MOJO
"deeply textured...sweet melancholy" - Q
"Some wonderfully sad Swedish pop, made cheerful by twinkling percussion and a gorgeous melody" - Guardian
"a seductively melancholy and unashamedly serious album, that claws insistently at the heartstrings" - Uncut
"My heart sees Svanangen excel to new heights of production and songsmithery" - TheLineOfBestFit
"Loney dear has gently orbited universal acclaim for the best part of a decade, 'My Heart' shoots crystal synths, funk-pop bass and a lugubrious, bloody-nosed wail fireworking skywards to remedy all that" - NMEThe video for new single My Heart available to watch on The Line Of Best Fit here:
Plus support from YOUNG DREAMS
After uploading three tracks on their Facebook page exactly a year ago the band quickly received an overwhelming response from both national and international music press and blogs. This included attention from both The Guardian, XL Recording, Rough Trade, andnbsp;The fader and national music radio shows. andnbsp;andnbsp;Fusing Tropicandaacute;lia, psychedelic rock, classical, symphonic arrangements and traditional pop recalling the classic sounds of Brian Wilson and Phil Spector, Young Dreams both adheres to and upends the conventional definitions of pop music, creating a sound thatandrsquo;s at once refreshingly familiar and daringly unique. Newly signed to Modular Recording, debut album will be out early next fall.

<description><![CDATA[FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE
After selling out Hoxton Bar andamp; Kitchen, Baxter Dury returns to play at XOYO in February.
andnbsp;
Produced by Craig Silvey (Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Portishead) and recorded in Baxterandrsquo;s hometown of London, the album will be released in digital and CD format. andlsquo;Claireandrsquo; is the first single to be taken from it, released on 1standnbsp;July.
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, we are pleased to announce Django Django will be back in February to celebrate the release of their long awaited debut album on 30th January.
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 of Django Django (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.
andldquo;We venture out into the great uncharted,andrdquo; sings Neff, andldquo;go far away from any beaten trackandhellip; Enjoy it now before itandrsquo;s far departed, you know that once itandrsquo;s gone that thereandrsquo;ll be no way back.andrdquo;
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;Ticketsandnbsp;

<description><![CDATA[FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE
After selling out his show at XOYO in record time, SBTRKT announces his biggest London show to date.
His music bursts with fresh ideas, and yet sounds immediately familiar. The sound-patterns and rhythms can easily soundtrack the ecstatic hands in the air dance floor moments as well as reliving the monotony of the morning commute. Its influences are incorporated with subtlety and sophistication: dense enough to interpret, light enough to dance to. House, dubstep, techno, funk and soul - it's all here - but twisted and turned the only way SBTRKT knows how. The album is full of absolute moments and is sure to soundtrack many a night out, in and everything in between from here on in. Hard to see any electronic album beating this for a very long time...

<description><![CDATA[SLEIGH BELLS new album Reign Of Terror is out on February 13th, and shortly after, they play Londonandrsquo;s Electric Ballroom. Their electronic beats thud with gut-rattling low end; guitars are distorted siren squalls, or heavily gated and thoroughly crunched power chords, or playful, beta-band-esque strums. Lead singer Krauss flips easily from hip-hop hook, to pop power, to sunshined, coquettish coos. The band have experienced a rapid ratcheting up in popularity as word has spread about their brutal, clever pop and compulsive live shows.

<description><![CDATA[French pan-global psych trio NLF3, two brothers in blood and a third in passion, play drifting yet highly focused instrumental music.
NLF3's music is cyclical, textured and emotional, halfway between movie scores and innovative psychedelic transgressions. The band cites influences such as Aphex Twin, Fela Kuti, Ennio Morricone or Sonic Youth - mixing a lot of electronics together with a wide variety of instruments.
andldquo;We like guitars, amps, feedback, tubes, vintage keys, Kalimba, beats and drones, we like singing and dancing like sorcerersandrdquo;.

Twenty-two year old Trevor Powers, whose musical venture is called Youth Lagoon, has had a long year. Not because heandrsquo;s been endlessly touring or pursuing some wild dream, but because of life andndash; the life of a kid going to college, being in love, dealing with heartache, and just living. andldquo;Youth Lagoon isnandrsquo;t me,andrdquo; says Powers, andldquo;Itandrsquo;s merely a part of me. I was in and out of different bands in high school and always tried to define myself by what music I played. I tried to find a sense of meaning by being in a band. But it wasnandrsquo;t until this last year andndash; when I realized I was more than just music andndash; that I was able to create music that means something to me. And that is Youth Lagoon.andrdquo;  Throughout the course of 2010, Powers began to write an album about things he had a hard time talking about. He claims that when he tries to talk about it to people, he doesnandrsquo;t make sense. So he wrote an album about it entitled The Year of Hibernation. andldquo;For my whole life Iandrsquo;ve dealt with extreme anxiety.andrdquo; says Powers. andldquo;Not anxiety about passing a test or somewhat normal things, but weird.. bizarre things. Things that only I know. I sometimes feel like Iandrsquo;m literally being eaten up inside. So I started writing these songs. Not just songs about my anxiety, but about my past and my present. Songs about memories, and all those feelings that those bring. I know that if I can be honest about what is inside my mind, there will be others that will be able to relate to it.andrdquo;  Although his music seems somewhat dreamy with the first listen, the lyrics show a different side to the matter. Hidden beneath the melodies is a voice that is eerie yet nostalgic. Powers claims his music is like letting people read his journal. andldquo;I donandrsquo;t think I could ever write a completely happy album. Itandrsquo;s not that Iandrsquo;m not a happy person,andrdquo; claims Powers, andldquo;but I just have too many things in my mind that haunt me.andrdquo;  andldquo;Massive, confident and sure-footed in its build from organ-hum to shouting-down-mountains chorusesandrdquo; Pitchforkandnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp; andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp; andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp;   andldquo;Located deftly between Animal Collectiveandrsquo;s strung-out post-rock and the drum machine-powered sketches of Casiotone For The Painfully Aloneandrdquo; Q

Early architects of the current chillwave scene, Brooklyn duo CHAIRLIFTandrsquo;s early stated aims included making music for haunted houses, an apt intention for their ethereal sound.

Coming to the attention of the masses after their single Bruises was used on an iPod ad the band have built up a much-deserved cult following.

Chairlift's new album 'Something' will be released on 23rd January on Young Turks. It is the first album since founding member Aaron Pfenning left the band in 2010.andnbsp;

'[First track Sidewalk Safari] is unabashedly the group's first real attempt at a big, bright pop song, albeit one cloaked in some typically strange peripheral sounds, the intro building into a galloping bass-rattke reminiscent of Stereolab, from a sonic squiggle of decaying synths.' - The Guardianandnbsp;

'check out Patrick Wimberly's undulating vintage keys, the snaking collage of exotic beats, and Caroline Polacheck's wicked vocal performance, which alternates between Top 40 sparkle and prog rock. Even the outro sounds like the disintegrating soundtrack to a '70s B-movie.' - Billboard

Now based in London, Pale Seas started their musical journey in their hometown of Southampton. Pale Seas are a four-piece who conjure up warm, rich, acoustic led dream-folk songs, evoking a sound somewhere between Beach House and Elliot Smith. 'Something Or Nothing' displays Pale Seasandrsquo; aptitude of crafting beautifully refined songs with elegant harmonies. Like a night fire whilst it rains outside, thereandrsquo;s a richness and subtle grandeur to their sound. The scintillating guitars and melancholic vocals contain a certain sparkle and charm, which grows with each and every listen.

After selling out Efes, Summer Camp return to London's Scala for their biggest headline show to date.
One of the most enduring qualities of music lies in its ability to be transportative - the very best songs can take you, almost instantly, to a specific moment in time, or perhaps a particular location, even evoke a specific emotion. It is an immutable relationship we have with the music we listen to, and it is one which the London duo of Elizabeth Sankey and Jeremy Warmsley, aka Summer Camp realise so perfectly, crafting twinkling, pristine pop gems which sound as though they could have been discovered in a trunk in an attic, glinting and glittering like jewels at the bottom of the sea.

<description><![CDATA[Weandrsquo;re in an era in which minimalism and lower-than-low-tech have come in vogue. By contrast, Shearwaterandrsquo;s recordingsandmdash;the epic andldquo;Island Arcandrdquo; trilogy of Palo Santo, Rook and The Golden Archipelago in particularandmdash;have been expansive in a fashion like none of their contemporaries.   Meiburgandmdash;presumably unfamiliar with the adage, andldquo;if it ainandrsquo;t broke, donandrsquo;t fix itandrdquo;andmdash;has opted to ditch an approach that paid huge artistic dividends over his last three Matador albums for a record that seems shockingly direct, immediate and intensely personal. Heandrsquo;s no stranger to lush, crafted recordings, but this one sounds like no prior Shearwater incarnation. And please, donandrsquo;t mistake that for a suggestion this is anyoneandrsquo;s notion of a traditional, singer-songwriter album.   Though itandrsquo;s possibly a wild projection to claim a few years of bouncing through various band lineups, record labels and places of residence have led to a radical reboot, Iandrsquo;m a big believer in citing circumstantial evidence and letting the jury figure it out for themselves. Someoneandrsquo;s bound to label 'Animal Joy' Shearwaterandrsquo;s transitional album, but to these ears, it sounds like a thrilling artistic rebirth.

Dark Dark Dark mix Americana with Eastern European influences to create a unique blend of folk music. Hailing from Minneapolis, Dark Dark Dark released their second full length album, Wild Go, in October 2010 to critical acclaim.
"Dark Dark Dark's true accomplishment here is how they mix sounds and influences so effortlessly. They comprise a tight, intuitive unit, especially when the instruments swirl together into an otherworldly eddy of sound." - Pitchfork"There are eastern European influences here rubbing up against Americana ones. There are spectral interludes and moments of muted drama. There are backing vocals that sound like a Balkan choir. There are varied rhythms, although mainly from the pre-rock era: imagine Mazzy Star if they were formed in 19th-century Prague" - The Guardian

<description><![CDATA[We are very please to announce that Revere and coming to London's Cargo
REVERE is a seven-piece band based in London, with members originating from all over the UK andndash; from London through to Liverpool, from Newcastle to Edinburgh and as far afield as the Orkney Isles.
The band includes violin, cello, keys and trumpet along with the traditional guitars, bass and drums. The diverse line-up brings a variety of influences, including the cinematic scores of Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone; the soaring vocals of Jeff Buckley and the dark folk of Nick Cave.
REVERE combine these influences with elements of gypsy songs, post-rock, klezmer, film scores and gospel to produce cohesive, multi-layered and dramatic music which moves from tiny, musicbox openings to cacophonous walls of sound. The result is a sound often compared to instrumental alchemists like Sigur Ros, Arcade Fire and Beirut.
A REVERE live show is as likely to be a full-scale electric onslaught as an intimate acoustic show andndash; either way audiences can expect dramatic live visuals to complement performances.

<description><![CDATA[After selling out Hoxton B+K followed by Bush Hall in quick succession, we are pleased to welcome back The Dandoslash; to The Garage this April.Theyandrsquo;ve already had a Number 1 album in France with stunning debut andlsquo;A Mouthfulandrsquo;, and now Franceandrsquo;s best kept secret, The Dandoslash; are set to conquer the UK. Self-produced, with multi-instrumentalist Dan Levy taking turns on sax, piano, harpsichord and trumpet to name but a few, this is a brave LP, stubbornly like no-other. andldquo;We're looking for the diversity and richness of sound, surprises in the details, orchestral colours,andrdquo; says Dan. andldquo;It certainly comes from our culture of classical music, our love of contemporary music, and of musicians like Charlie Mingus. The types of music that follow no map.andrdquo;Technically accomplished and full of rich orchestration and electronic flourishes, Both Ways Open Jaws somehow still manages to keep a lightness of touch and an instant pop appeal, no doubt thanks to Oliviaandrsquo;s bewitching vocals and song-writing skills. Olivia says, "I'm constantly after the ideal song, I believe in a songandrsquo;s healing powers. As long as the song exists in itself with just one instrument and vocals, then we can start arranging it in a million ways. The basic recipe will remain immutable."She veers from the primal, invoking the spectres of Fever Ray and Bjork with the percussion led Slippery Slope, replete with tribal chanting, and lead single andlsquo;Too Insistentandrsquo; with its tirelessly catchy propulsive melody, to the childlike; her sweet vocals offsetting the unsettling imagery on opener Dust It Off, and the nursery rhyme rhythm of Bohemian Dances a little reminiscent of Joanna Newsom and CocoRosie. and#8232;Expect to be hearing a lot more of the pair as the year goes on.Tickets available from:

<description><![CDATA[andnbsp;
Mouse on Mars is one of the few electronic bands to stand the test of time. Constantly reinventing themselves, they have taken electronica to new heights with a unique blend of sound annihilation, fragmented melodies and an impassioned hatred of conformity. For nearly two deacades, Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner have sweated over burning consoles to create a new musical language, only to twist it again into thousands of myriad distortions.

Mouse On Mars' sound links them to the club-music scene, as do their many remixes and collaborations with members of the dance-music world. Yet their association with the formalized and utilitarian world of dance music is ironic, as the bandandrsquo;s raison dandrsquo;etre is to place electronic flies in any aural ointment
they choose to muck through. A series of 10 albums and numerous remixes has come off as primarily intent on dashing expectations, from the ambient-house ectoplasms of 1994andrsquo;s Vulvaland and 1995andrsquo;s slightly more structured Iaora Tahiti; to the flighty and funny electronics, spluttering horns and acoustic-guitar samples of 2000andrsquo;s more andldquo;organicandrdquo; Niun Niggung; to the forest of sonic porcupine quills that is Idiology. Radical Connector (2004) further granulated the MoM aesthetic into nine vaguely pop-oriented songs, ever heavier on the beats and increasingly hinging the tunes on the vocals and drumming of longtime collaborator Dodo Nkishi. Varcharz (2006) entirely recorded at Mouse on Marsandrsquo; St. Martin Ton Studios in Duesseldorf has been their most live sounding and diverse studio album to date. 2012 will see a new Mouse on Mars once again. Their upcoming LP Parastrophics is a thriving vision of the other side of experimental music. Discordance turns into pop as Alice in Wonderland bounces her booty to laser bass sounds, the likes of which would make Walt Disney jealously ponder the question, andldquo;Why didnandrsquo;t I think of that?!andrdquo; Parastrophics is glamorous, funky and deep. No speakers exist that could display all the details of such manic production.

Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner have been more than busy in the intervening years since the release of their last studio album as a duo, Varcharz (2006). They collaborated with The Fallandrsquo;s Mark E. Smith as s Von Sanduuml;denfed and released Tromatic Reflexxions on Domino. Both Toma and St. Werner produce independently for their Sonig label. St. Werner has worked on solo records under several monikers, written pieces for classical instrumentation and electronics, did music for installations, and acted as the artistic director of the
and#65532;and#65532;and#65532;
Amsterdam Institute for Electronic Music, steim. Toma has produced Moondog, Stereolab, Junior Boys and The Fall, amongst others.

One of their most recent projects Paeanumnion has been as unique as the rest of their career andndash; an orchestral piece which didnandrsquo;t play by any of the rules. As St. Werner said, andldquo;it was a way for us to carry on being an electronic band, only without electronicsandrdquo;. As ever, he was not being entirely serious. Both Jan and Andi were on stage throughout this hour- long voyage, playing their own digitally-crafted sounds and processing the orchestra at the same time. For this event Mouse on Mars have created their own musical software which they also used for the production of Parastrophics.
We are very please to announce Mouse on Mars will be playing Village Underground this April!

<description><![CDATA[CLOCK OPERA make extraordinarily accessible electronic pop music. They may draw from such esoteric sources as the systems music of Steve Reich and Philip Glass and have played their second ever gig at the Queen Elizabeth Hall backing the Ballet Rambert, but you donandrsquo;t need any special qualifications to enjoy what they do - just an appreciation of idiosyncratic electronic and organic sounds.
Guy Connelly, the vocalist, guitarist, sampler and master machinist behind Clock Opera can be placed in that small but select pantheon of distinguished male pop vocalists that also includes Billy Mackenzie of Associates, Haydon Thorpe of Wild Beasts and Antony Hegarty of Antony and The Johnsons, all singers unafraid of expressing themselves in an unguarded, emotional way.
Andy West (bass, guitar, synths), Che Albrighton (drums, samples) and Dan Armstrong (samples, synths, keyboards, backing vocals) join Guy on stage and make guitars sound like harp glissandos and keep the pace with his constantly evolving ideas and methods of chopping up sounds into smithereens and fiddling with them sonically and in terms of pitch and rhythm.

<description><![CDATA[Of Montreal release their new album Paralytic Stalks on 7th February and we are proud to announce their headline show at Koko this April.
The band, hailing from Athens, Georgia have developed quite a reputation for their spectacular live shows, and the release of Paralytic Stalks promises something new yet again. Click here to read Rolling Stone's interview with front man Kevin Barnes.
    
How do you approach an album as tantalizingly complex as Paralytic Stalks?
You could begin from a lyrical perspective and appraise the occasion it provides for an unobstructed view directly into the psyche of Kevin Barnes, of Montreal's principal songwriter.
But be prepared -- one listen to "I spend my waking hours haunting my own life / I made the one I love start crying tonight / And it felt good" ("Spiteful Intervention") immediately reveals this is not Barnes filtered through the lens of an adopted persona or invented alter ego.
Rather, these are confessions of an infinitely more personal nature than anything he's written since 2007's Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?
Amidst dark ruminations on human existence, revenge, self-hatred, and his relationship with wife Nina, one encounters an emotionally raw Barnes struggling to contain his savage thoughts: "So much violence in my head / How are we still alive?" ("Authentic Pyrrhic Remission").
And though it's easy to become totally immersed within the captivating power of these revelations song after song, focusing only on the lyrics would prevent you from fully comprehending the true depth of Barnes's work.
Because in a different, yet equally enthralling manner, Paralytic Stalks's musical dimension proves itself similarly worthy of preoccupation.
For on a sonic level, the album -- recorded at Barnes's home studio in Athens, GA and mixed at Chase Park Transduction with the assistance of engineer Drew Vandenberg (Deerhunter, Toro y Moi) -- is a stimulating array of densely packed ideas presented with stunning agility.
Never before has an of Montreal record moved so fluidly from one song to the next -- each track feeding off the last in what seems a singular album-long movement that never allows you to rip your ears away.
After the addition of classically trained violinist K. Ishibashi to of Montreal's touring line-up, Barnes embraced the idea of working with session musicians (many of whom were Ishibashi's friends) for the first time in his career.
During this period, Barnes forged a special connection with Zachary Cowell, a session musician who subsequently arranged all of the album's brass and woodwind parts (and is now the band's newest member).
The experience also emboldened Barnes to venture into previously unexplored territory with his songwriting. As a result, Paralytic Stalks at times resembles modern classical with its intricate compositions, while at others echoes of neo-prog, pseudo-country, and 60s pop can be heard.
Examples of these new elements abound throughout the record, notably on "Wintered Debts," which witnesses its hushed vocal and acoustic guitar intro giving way to a country shuffle replete with pedal steel guitar, as well as the flute-driven, ELO-inspired single "Dour Percentage."
And yet, above all, Paralytic Stalks remains absolutely defiant of any labels that attempt to completely pin down the type of music Barnes creates.
As such, ultimately it doesn't matter what angle you choose as your entry point. Because the album's true value is that it even forces you to question how to approach it at all.
Conceived on the fringe of a contemporary pop music landscape that seldom encourages listeners to dig beyond the surface level to receive satisfaction, Paralytic Stalks is the rare album with the audacity to DEMAND such a response.

After a phenomenal show at the Shacklewell Arms, Rocketnumbernine return to headline Hoxton Bar andamp; Kitchen this April

For 6 years brother duo ROCKETNUMBERNINE have been honing their unique sound. Starting off as an improv duo for the first 4 years, they decided to cross the sound over and turned heads very quickly - including those of the legendary Kieran Hebden Aka Four Tet and Gilles Peterson. The last 12 months has seen them record a session for Gilles at Radio 1 and perform at The BBC Worldwide Awards Ceromony, tour with both Four Tet and Caribou and perform in collaboration with Four Tet at The Mutek Festival in Montreal. Their first single released on Kieran's Text label - a 14 minute opus laid down in one take with no overdubs was greatly received.
After a phenomenal show at the Shacklewell Arms, Rocketnumbernine return to headline Hoxton Bar andamp; Kitchen this April.
For Following their first single release 'Matthew and Toby' on Kieran Headmenandrsquo;s 'Text' label in 2010, London-based brothers Ben (keyboards) and Tom Page (drums) aka Rocketnumbernine released their followup EP 'The Lone Raver' on Soul Jazz Records in November 2011.
Having toured and performed alongside Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) throughout 2010, Gilles Peterson gave the band wider recognition with a live session on his Radio One show, as well as a performance at Gilles' Worldwide Awards.
Most recently, after jaw-dropping performances in Fabric's Room One, the duo took their intense electronic music to New York's Roseland Ballroom to support the most recent fans of the group Radiohead in September 2011.

<description><![CDATA[There is a powerful harmony in Grimes. It is a project which is both musical and visual, embodying the arts of 2D, performance, dance, video and sound. Claire Boucher weaves these together to a strong rhythmic effect, andldquo;the marriage between the voice of a human and the heartbeat of a machineandrdquo; [Bullett Magazine].Each album tackles a different set of influences and styles. Her newest album, Visions, incorporates influences as wide as Enya, TLC and Aphex Twin, drawing from genres like New Jack Swing, IDM, New Age, K-pop, Industrial and glitch. This approach has marked Grimes as a curator of culture, and allowed the project to remain flexible and evolving.A phantasmic state for the deep listener, sourcing the long forgotten spells running alongside humans for centuries and forcing them through a hyper-futuristic filter. Compositional and vocal delivery are coloured with an emotional trauma. Despite a generally upbeat demeanour, an urgency permeates the music. Calling us between our history and the future it uses the pleasure of minimal rhythms and dance to entice, but beyond its rich, software-sculpted cohesiveness, and vocal energy, runs a very real and odd world.She describes her work as andldquo;the only means through which I can be fully expressive. It is both an ethereal escape from, and a violent embrace of my experience. The creative process is a quest for the ultimate sensual, mystical and cathartic experience and the vehicle for my psychic purging. Visions was conceived in a period of self-imposed cloistering during which time I did not see day-light. andrdquo;Tickets Available from:

Stevie Moore / Revere / Rocketnumbernine / Rustie / SBTRKT / Spector / Tortoise / To Kill a King / Theme Park / The Vaccines / Zomby / Zulu Winter plus many more artists to be announced...
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
