Bout' Time I Got Back On The Hoss

Had a crappy year, hence not many post, but feeling better now, so lets get on with it.

Been some cracking music released this year, which I've buried myself in deeply, of which, more to come shortly.

Stumbled across this great band Death and Vanilla whilst perusing the in turns, vexing and fascinating 'out there' music club / collective that is The Outer Church.  (Website layout isn't all it could be, but it's worth a rummage, somegreat artist led mixes on their through mixcloud).

I'm guessing if you dig Broadcast , and you all know by the myriad of posts about them that I do muchly, then your sure to love this Swedish collective.

Felt obliged to download their entire output from Bandcamp, an EP, album and 7", all with great covers, especially the 7", which to these eyes looks like prime Julian House, or at least a great facsimilie.
Just put an order in for the beautiful red vinyl 7". Maaan, I 'm a sucker for coloured vinyl.

7"

EP

LP

Also a lush video to 'From Above' from the 7".

Another great one from the self titled LP called 'Rituals'

Yet another wonderful track - 'Cul-De-Sac'

Mentioned the Outer Church at the beginning of this post, they have released a wonderful psychotronic album of artists who've played at their club at various venues around the UK called simply, The Outer Church, a 2CD menagerie or out there esoterica (word of the day that!)

Can't recommend this release enough, some fascinating left field 'occult' electronica from some previously 'unknown' to me artists. To my ears, many have drunk deeply of the well of occult esoterica and also worshipped at the alter of COIL in relation to their sounds, atmospheres and visuals. I hate to use the word Hauntology, but it's a perfect description of what's contained within.

Tracklist Here.

Strictly limited release, so dig deep and bag a bargain. Sure to be a future collectable along the lines of such hard to get esoteric greats as The Elephant Table Album  and 'An Afflicted Mans Musica Box' to name but two.

Also came across a great duo whilst on the Outer Church site called Occult Hand whose spooky, atmospheric rumblings on Illutrious Pairing have been perfect for these Halloweenesque windblown evenings of late.

Great video Here. If you enjoy the slightly unsettling.

Liars B-Sides Re-Up

Had a request for a re-up of the above. Sorry it took so long, all my data has been deleted from various web hosts and had to dig it all out again. Hope you enjoy it.

Plus hear a new track from the forthcoming album WIXIW  here

Released sometime June 2012 the new album is said to be more electronic and sample based than previous records, lets hope it's another interesting shift in direction for the band.
Gotta admit, I'm looking forward to this one big time, been too long between releases for one of my fav' contemporary acts. Link to tunes (2018).....Liars B-Sides
