This Is Attack Music

Posted 8th March 2010 in These New Puritans
This Is Attack Music After an astounding and truly deserved reaction to their new album, ‘Hidden’, TNPs are pleased to announce the release of their second single ‘Attack Music’ on April 19. This will come in the middle of their second headline tour of the UK this year, which will lead straight into a tour of Europe. See UK dates below.

Their recent live show at Bush Hall, replete with a huge onstage Taiko drum, was a truly mesmerising experience, prompting the NME to hail it “triumphant”. See footage here: /www.viceland.com/music/2010/02/these-new-puritans-live-daily

The band is on tour supporting the XX in the UK & Europe in Feb/March before returning to home turf to take to the following stages:

New Gyratory EP

Posted 28th January 2010 in Gyratory System
Fresh off the back of supporting Soulwax for two sold out shows at Brixton Academy in December, Gyratory System are now set to release the ‘Yowser Yowser Yowser EP’ with four new tracks to accompany the new take on ‘Yowser Yowser Yowser’ from the LP. Dr Andrew Blick, the effects trumpet player, producer and driving force behind Gyratory System has once again invented some of the most original and “out there” sonics you’re likely to hear for a long time. All of which are sure to grab your attention and give you some insight into the recording and production technique he created dubbed ‘The Process’.

It’s been described as “sounding like a marching band on acid”, which seems quite apt although what might surprise is how comfortable it sits on the dancefloor, something we doubt was considered during ‘The Process’. The E.P will be followed in March by a ‘Yowser Yowser Yowser Remix EP’, featuring mixes from Twitch (Optimo), DJ Egor, Cherrystones, Meek Joe and Alalal.

Gyratory will also be taking the Process on the road for a mini-tour in Feb:

11th Feb - Manchester - Deaf Institute
12th Feb - Sheffield - Bungalows & Bears
13th Feb - Leeds - A Nation Of Shopkeepers
16th Feb - London - Madame JoJos
20th Feb - London - Cable Street Studios
21st Feb - Glasgow - Optimo
