DUMBSAINT JOIN BRR AND ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE + LAUNCH

 

With their debut album due for release in April, Sydney-based instrumental rock trio Dumbsaint are celebrating with the release of their first single, the soaring 7-minute epic, 'Don't Forget To Bring Down The Sky'. From lush, shoe-gazing ambience to walls of technical and aggressive distortion, an underlying feeling of tension is present throughout; pushing and pulling with each instrumental dip and crescendo.

DFTBDTS will be released as a free download on Tuesday February 14th through Bird's Robe Records, alongside the release of a short-film projection used to accompany the track live.

Friday February 17th will see the band launch their single at the Gaelic Theatre in Surry Hills supporting post-rock friends, sleepmakeswaves, as part of their national tour. Also joining them will be local favourites, Solkyri and Batterie. Tickets are available from
www.moshtix.com.au.

Drawing parallels to artists such as ISIS, Jakob, Toe, Russian Circles and Tool, DFTBDTS showcases Dumbsaint at the height of their musical and personal evolution, exploring their turbulent history through a cathartic wash of dynamics and emotion. The track not only reinforces the command the band have over their instruments, but the maturity of their communication as a songwriting unit; delivering a layered sound - without words - that is haunting, challenging and memorable.

November 2011 saw the band enter Studios 301 with Producer Tim Carr (Ernest Ellis, Matt Corby, Totally Unicorn, Serious Beak), to bookend the last 4 years of what up until now, has only been accessible by a live audience.

"Dumbsaint, a monster of a sonic and visual force. This three piece managed to transcend genres through simple riffs, a crushing rhythm section courtesy of Nick Andrews on drums and James Thomas on bass, interlaced with technical fret work from Ron Prince to create an ambience designed to draw in the viewer before blasting them off their feet. Original, synced visuals accompanying each track brought a new dimension to their show and transfixing the audience to the sound-scape that is Dumbsaint" - Brendan Delavere, September 2 2011, Bald Faced Stag live review.
Loudmag.com.au

'Don't Forget To Bring Down The Sky' will be released Feb 14th, available as a free download from Bird's Robe Records - www.birdsrobe.bandcamp.com

DFTBDTS will be launched on Friday Feb 17th in Sydney:

Dumbsaint single launch
w/sleepmakeswaves + Solkyri + Batterie

http://artascatharsis.bandcamp.com/album/huxwhukw 

The band will head on a short east cost tour to promote the record, appearing at the following dates:

Friday 30th March @ The Pony, Melbourne VIC w/A Million Dead Birds Laughing, Agonhymn, Cradle in the Crater

VAMPILLIA RELEASE RULE THE WORLD/DEATHTINY LAND IN AUSTRALIA

 

Japanese avant-garde noise merchants VAMPILLIA have released their epic RULE THE WORLD/DEATHTINY album in Australia.

 

Any who saw them during their infamous sold out Australian tour in 2009/10 will know that the band defy classification. Their chaotic, yet tender, live shows are reflected in varying degrees on their recordings. 'Rule The World' is the follow-up to their successful 2009 EP Sppears, which garnered quite a bit of attention on the back of THIS film clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vMtHrrMv3I

 

The album is an ambitious 24 tracks, travelling at ridiculous pace through opera, metal, folk, a capella and drone.

 

Here's the low-down from web review site 'How to Rock Out':

 

Vampillia is a self-described ‘brutal orchestra’ comprised of 11 quite-possibly-insane musicians from Osaka, Japan, and this album is. honestly, I have no idea what it is. But I like it. I like it a lot. The bulk of the album consists of orchestral compositions, some of which come and go with nothing but beauty exposed, some of which explode into spasms of death-metal grunting, operatic exhalations, and furious blastbeats. It’s a bit like John Zorn’s Naked City, Mr. Bungle, and Solefald-all playing at the same time-or a gloriously twisted soundtrack to a film co-directed by Tim Burton and Quentin Tanantino. I’ve never heard anything quite like Vampillia before, but I can’t seem to get enough of this undeniably captivating album. I’d love to see them pull this off live-that would be a show for the ages!

 

RULE THE WORLD is available now from http://birdsrobe.bandcamp.com/album/rule-the-world-deathtiny-land

 

RUINS ALONE DEBUT ALBUM RELEASE

 

TATSUYA YOSHIDA has released his debut album under the moniker 'RUINS ALONE.'  Following a successful solo tour of Australia in June, Yoshida has finally committed his outrageously complex and entertaining live set to record.

 

Best known as one half of seminal experimental duo RUINS and drummer for ZENI GEVA and VAMPILLIA amongst others, Yoshida is universally acknowledged as the 'undisputed master drummer of the Japanese underground.'

 

RUINS ALONE is out now through Bird's Robe Records http://birdsrobe.bandcamp.com/album/ruins-alone - all orders come with a bonus BRR release...

 

SQUAT CLUB RELEASE 'CORVUS'

 

Prog supergroup SQUAT CLUB have finished remixing and remastering their debut album CORVUS, out now through Bird's Robe Records.

 

One of the most hotly-anticipated local releases for some time now, this re-release has been a long while coming.  This is what we had to say about the album in our year-end list for 2010:

 

Better to burn out than to fade away? The boys in Squat Club thought so. Officially together for only 8 short months before disbanding, this group felt truly momentous. As anyone who had the opportunity to see them live would agree, it seemed incredibly important that these four gentlemen existed at just the right time to collaborate together and it’s a damn shame they couldn’t have wowed more of the world in doing so. Luckily, within this period of time, they recorded a spectacular full length album. Equal parts Secret Chiefs 3, Can, Battles and King Crimson, their songs are sometimes heinously complex - yet achieve a level of melodicism rare in most numbers-and-effects focussed groups. In two words: very special.

 

For fans of Isis, Meshuggah, Battles, King Crimson and Periphery.

 

CORVUS is available from http://birdsrobe.bandcamp.com/album/corvus

 

PANZER QUEEN RELEASE 'WHEN ALL OUR FATHERS WORSHIPED STOCK AND STONE'

 

The highly anticipated second EP from post rock royalty PANZER QUEEN is here...

When All Our Fathers Worshiped Stock and Stone is out now
http://birdsrobe.bandcamp.com/album/when-all-our-fathers-worshiped-stock-and-stone

 

The captivating single 'Into The Golden Ocean' has been spun hundreds of times on national radio including triple j and is soon to feature in...

The EP is the band's finest and most polished work to date, with shimmering production and lilting melodic frames dancing across the band's lithe instrumental work.

For fans of Explosions in the Sky, the Appleseed Cast, the Middle East and Mono.

 

MISH 'THE ENTRANCE' ALBUM RELEASE

 

Prog-metallers MISH have released their long-awaited debut album THE ENTRANCE.

 

The band recorded with Clayton Segelov at The Brain Studios and have put their all into a heavy and progressive-minded release.

 

For fans of Isis, Tool, Jakob, Opeth, Meshuggah and Russian Circles.

http://birdsrobe.bandcamp.com/album/the-entrance

 

LANDER CONFIGURATIONS RELEASE "OF SMOKE AND FIRE"

 

LANDER CONFIGURATIONS successfully launched their new record in Sydney on Friday December 2nd, alongside FOURTEEN NIGHTS AT SEA, HIRA HIRA and SOLKYRI at the Lansdowne Hotel.

The Newcastle-based band have spent close to 5 years perfecting their album, which promises to add to an already-phenomenal year for Australian post-rock and prog releases.

 

Their understated production and songcraft stands out amongst 2011 releases and is available now from http://birdsrobe.bandcamp.com/album/of-smoke-and-fire
