Mira Calix


Chantal Passamonte’s third studio album 'Eyes Set Against The Sun' is out now.

Mira Calix makes electronic music that breathes. Folk music fashioned from broken beats and field recordings. Technologically-advanced songs with the mishapen bits kept in.

It all adds up to create a living, particular whole which pervades the album with a very original feeling and an exploratory sensibility that is wide enough to encompass a children's choir, African thumb pianos and orchestral strings to create something that's quite exceptional and will grow on you like moss on a tree in the woods she recorded it in.

Details of all related live shows in the listings below.

"a weirdly evocative concoction that charms and chills in equal measure"

Maximo Park

Maximo Park's new album entitled 'Our Earthly Pleasures' is scheduled for release on April 2nd. A UK tour has also just been announced, with tickets going on general sale this Friday - they wont hang around for long as the last tour sold out in a day. View the artwork, check release details and tour dates on the new Maximo Park Website.

The album was recorded with Gil Norton, who has previously produced classic records for The Pixies amongst many others. In not so many words - the album is sounding massive!

The first single 'Our Velocity' is due on 19th March. Expect to see a lot of Maximo in the coming year.



Grizzly Bear

The US tour begins 1st of February with a load of shiny new kit. Full details of the dates are in the live listings below.

The band will also be back in the UK for the ‘ATP vs The Fans’ festival taking place between 18th and 20th May at the new Butlins holiday centre in Minehead, Somerset.

Along with the new venue ATP are using a fresh approach to the curation of the festival, whereby the promoters choose half the lineup, and the rest is decided on votes cast by ticket buyers. Festival democracy in place… or half of that at least.
