The Telegraph feature/review

Several European festival shows have now been confirmed, complete with visuals and various vocalists from the LP (Terry Hall & Martina Topley Bird feature on the record), view all dates in Warp Live below.

Nightmares on Wax



Long time Warp comrade George Evelyn aka E.a.s.e. returns with a new Nightmares on Wax single "195lbs" on 18th August followed by an album "Thought So..." on 25th August (or 2nd Sept in US & Canada)!

Preview the single here

The new material was inspired by a special journey from N.O.W.'s birthplace in Leeds to a new base located right in the middle of Ibiza. Instead of shipping all his studio equipment by boat, E.a.s.e. rose to the challenge of writing music on a unique road trip - thus the concept of "Thought So.." arrived from the process itself.

Special audio broadcasts will be streamed live from Ibiza in August - stay tuned to the Warp site and N.O.W. spaces below!

Pivot






Pivot will release their first album for Warp - 'O Soundtrack My Heart' - on 18th August 2008!

The LP features 'In The Blood' alongside with 10 tracks which elegantly blur the distinction between live instrumentation, heavy electronics and epic soundtrack music. Peep the artwork by Michel Granger here, who's famous for his work for Jean Michel Jarre - also seen here painting with war tanks.

Aside from their big shows in Australia with Sigur Ros (or their killer Y.M.O. support slot in London), a few European Festivals await during the summer and 20th Aug London Album Launch at The Roundhouse Studios - see all the dates below. Catch them where you can!

Grizzly Bear



 

Chosen to support Radiohead on their upcoming tour, Grizzly Bear will be making appearances across the US this summer, including several headlining dates of their own - all dates in Warp Live below.

The band will once again debut a brand new song on national television - this time on The Late Show - July 23rd - with David Letterman! The song is titled 'Two Weeks.'

For this special performance, Grizzly Bear have enlisted the talents of Doveman on piano. As previously reported, Nico Muhly was set to appear, but cannot due to the date change.
