November 9, 2019 Indie-pop artist Andy Shauf unveils latest band Foxwarren, shares noir-inspired video for first single “Everything Apart”

Indie-pop artist Andy Shauf unveils latest band Foxwarren, shares noir-inspired video for first single “Everything Apart”

Growing up in scattered small towns across the Canadian prairies, Foxwarren is comprised of singer songwriter Andy Shauf (guitars/keys/vocals) and his childhood friends Dallas Bryson (guitar/vocals) and brothers Darryl Kissick (bass) and Avery Kissick (drums & percussion) who eventually found themselves in Regina, Saskatchewan. The initial sessions for their self-titled debut – coming out November 30 via ANTI- Records – began ten years ago in the Kissicks’ parents’ farmhouse while they were away on vacation. Upon their return, Foxwarren was forced to relocate and recording resumed back in Regina in a rented house where the members lived as roommates. The band’s name comes from the Kissick brothers’ family home in Foxwarren, Manitoba.

Today the four-piece has released its first song “Everything Apart”; the driving krautrock, drum machine backbone of the song evokes a ticking clock – a race against time. “Combined with Andy’s existential lyrics, the song’s propulsive feel reminded us of the noir-ish tension of classic spy thrillers like ‘The Conversation’, ‘Three Days of The Condor’, and ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’,” explained the video’s directors, the Ft. Langley Production Company. “With the band’s blessing, we set to work on creating our own micro cold-war thriller, paying homage to era tropes like zoom-heavy camerawork, trench coats, and analogue tech.”

Music Producer Methyl Ethel Announce London Headline Show & European Tour with Mac DeMarco

Methyl Ethel, the musical project of Jake Webb, has announced details of a special headline London show at Peckham Audio on 19th November. This will be the first outing as a duo, where Webb will be joined onstage by regular live band member Thom Stewart. The pair will also open for Mac DeMarco on his forthcoming European tour next month. Tickets for all shows are now on sale. Visit methylethel.com for more details. 

Methyl Ethel’s latest album Triage is the third of a triptych Webb started with Oh Inhuman Spectacle (2015) and continued with Everything Is Forgotten (2017) which was named Best Independent Album by AIR, the Australian Independent Record Labels Association. Methyl Ethel has always been a surrealist outfit – a dark and obscured expression of life set to the backdrop of dream pop hooks. But Triage is a more reflective album – one that explores the notion of coming of age, only to reference it for the snapshots and passing memories that it has become.

9 November – COPENHAGEN, Vega * 

10 November – HAMBURG, Große Freiheit 36 *

11 November – BERLIN, Columbiahalle *

October 31, 2019 Dead Method announces new song ‘Blonde’

Dead Method announces new song ‘Blonde’

“There is a beautiful dark foreboding intensity to the music of Dead Method. Classy and well- crafted electronic tracks with expressive and haunting vocals. Dead Method are well and truly dragging the torch song into the 21st century.” – NewSound Wales

“There’s something darkly exotic and wonderful different about Dead Method, whose artful electronica is beautifully creative and pulls on the emotional heartstrings, courtesy of Lloyd’s captivating voice.” – David Owens, WalesOnline

DEAD METHOD returns with his new single BLONDE. An exploration of body dysmorphia in the digital age and how social media influencers can negatively affect our mindset by offering up seemingly perfect bodies and lives for the consumption of a hungry audience around the world 24/7.

Set against a backdrop of aggressive synths, this wild and vigorous track relentlessly hits home with a catchy hook and soaring vocals. Produced, mixed and mastered by Minas who also co-wrote the song.

Dead Method is an unstoppable force of experimental art-pop. In the last twelve months, he has been working closely with Forte Project supported by Arts Council of Wales and PRS for Music Foundation which has put him at the forefront of the Welsh music scene with his unique experimental-pop sound.
