MY EDUCATION
None could doubt the ascendancy of My Education after the success of "Sunrise“, their last album, composed of pieces from their original score for F.W. Murnau’s 1927 silent masterpiece “Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans”. Having perfected the Sunrise material with live film performances over the last two years that sold out shows across the USA, My Education has now moved on to the most dramatic and heaviest expression of their career. On "A Drink For All My Friends“, My Education taps into its most triumphant, untethered set of compositions, even as the title and theme pay tribute to the departed.
“Respect to everyone we’ve lost” takes on further meaning with "A Drink For All My Friends“. In November 2009, drummer, long-time friend and role model Jerry Fuchs from Maserati was killed after falling down a broken elevator shaft. “Roboter-Höhlenbewohner,” is dedicated to Fuchs, starting with a relentless drum intro.
"A Drink For All My Friends" will be out on 28th March on CD, Digital and limited LP. 300 copies, 200 on black, 100 copies on a nice red, blue & white tri-color vinyl. 180 gram vinyl, download card!

ASCETIC:
We are proud to announce the release of ASCETIC: - Self Initiation. This is a brandnew band from Melbourne, Australia featuring Damian Coward of "Heirs" on drums.
Drawn from a collective obsession with fringe philosophy and post-new-age consciousness, Self Initiation evokes the moods & spaces of 4AD’s early roster (Swans, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins), with a nod to contemporaries The Soft Moon, Factory Floor & Portishead’s ‘Third’. Thick pulsing rhythms erupt into glorious, cascading conclusion; from narcissistic rants, to sickly crooned anthems; from the outer regions of reality to the depths of the subconscious, a white shadow emerging from the process: ASCETIC.
Their record will be released on 15th March on CD and limited LP. 300 copies on black and 100 copies on white. 180 gram vinyl, download card! Preorder starts NOW and we have some nice shirts as well and bundles!
