A Place To Bury Strangers will release their fourth album, Transfixiation, next year, and we heard a short teaser for the record back in November. The album is supposed to be fairly experimental and somewhat abrasive, and the single, “Straight,” lives up to that expectation.
Today, the band release a video directed by Brook Linder for “Straight” — it’s an almost nausea-inducing medley of found VCR footage spliced and reordered so quickly it makes you woozy.

Rattlebag, the second solo album from the acclaimed singer and guitarist Ben Ottewell, will be released via Sunday Best Recordings on 2nd February 2015. The lead single from Rattlebag will be the albums title track, impacting December 22nd.
As a singer and lead guitarist in Mercury Award-winning rock band Gomez, Ben Ottewell is well known for his unmistakable voice and talent for blistering and inspired guitar solos. Rolling Stone declared, “Gomez's not-so-secret weapon is Ben Ottewell.” And as GQ Magazine once wrote and anyone listening can attest, "his voice is not of this world.”
Ottewell released his first solo album Shapes & Shadows in 2011, described in a 4 star review in Mojo magazine as “rustic and folky in a gutsy, often heartwarming way.” Since then, Ottewell has been pleasing audiences with a series of successful solo tours across the UK, US and Australia.
On Rattlebag, Ottewell once again collaborated with childhood friend and his Shapes & Shadows writing partner Sam Genders, previously of Tunng. Simultaneously stripped-down and lush, the album is a collection of beautifully poetic tales of salvation and redemption, of sanctuary and braving rocky seas in search of distant shores. Ottewell’s infectious melodies and bluesy riffs will stick with you, and beg you to sing along.
Rattlebag is a record that transcends, appealing to Gomez fans for the recognizable voice they have come to love, and going beyond into a fresh new direction, evoking Americana and folk influences to create something that can be uniquely labelled as Ben Ottewell. “There’s a time and place for us / I will take you there,” he sings (Shoreline). On Rattlebag, Ottewell proffers hope and promise accompanied by sublime acoustic and slide guitars.

Eindelijk is het dan zover: na de release van zijn uitstekend ontvangen dubbelalbum Mille Plateaux zal Georgio ‘the Dove’ Valentino in december drie keer optreden in België!
Wanneer een artiest referenties opgeeft als Martin Gore, Bobby Beausoleil, Joe Meek, Michel Foucault, Stefan Georg of de satanische dominee Steven Johnson Leyba (die ook het artwork voor de dubbel-LP verzorgde), weet je natuurlijk dat de muziek die hij maakt allesbehalve alledaags zal zijn. Georgio ‘the Dove’ Valentino kan op het ene moment een walsritme inzetten, even later refereren naar de Italiaanse grootmeesters en vervolgens dieper wegduiken in een avantgardistische, minimalistische rockgroove. Eclectisch, dus, maar toch is er altijd een duidelijke rode draad te bespeuren in zowel de sfeer die wordt opgeroepen als de spelstijl van Georgio en zijn muzikanten, gezamenlijk bekend als la Société des Mélancoliques. Ook de band met Tuxedomoon wordt opnieuw aangehaald, deze keer door op 19 december weer het podium te delen met dat legendarisch kunstcollectief.
