About this product
Darkstar return with their fourth album 'Civic Jams' on 15th May. On their most personal record to date, Darkstar counterbalance observations of their home with those of the community surrounding it. 'Civic Jams' is a photonegative of a dance record shaped by a dialogue between shoegaze atmospherics and UK bass music's 'hardcore continuum'. Darkstar find themselves at once looking homeward and venturing further into their own psychic hinterland with each record. They've covered a lot of ground from the introspective expanse of their debut 'North' [2010], to utopian visions of society in 'News From Nowhere' [2013] and the unique dynamics of a pre-Brexit northern England on 'Foam Island' [2015]. On their latest offering, home is within reach. Inspired by the intervening years, Darkstar (aka Aiden Whalley and James Young) show how the personal can be political and reveal more of themselves than they've ever done before. Imagine emotional realism built from spectral rave echoes, anchored in timeless songs of love and loss in the digital now and you've got

Vinyl LP pressing. Originally released on Earache Records in 2007, the aptly titledThe Art Of Partying is widely considered to be one of Municipal Waste's finest and certainly the album that elevated them to the undisputed throne of the party thrash genre. The Art of Partying defined the sound of the 'new wave of thrash' and included the hits InchHeadbanger Face RipInch and InchSadistic Magician.Inch The album graced countless 'Album of the Year' polls around the globe upon including Rock Hard Spain (No. 2), Close Up Sweden (No. 5), Big Cheese UK (No. 11) and Terrorizer UK (No. 15). Over a decade later it's back on vinyl courtesy of the tag that gave it life!
A photonegative of a dance record shaped by a dialogue between shoegaze atmospherics and UK bass music's 'hardcore continuum'. We've tried to look at the juxtaposition of being comfortable in an often claustrophobic era of unrest both politically and culturally. Tangible space is where this album focuses - it's about having the last warning on a tax bill and going to a rave. It's resigned to having a drink while Brexit blares out in the background. Being able to enjoy the sun while another 0845 number rings out on your mobile for god knows what. We wanted to look at singling out those moments when you balance the everyday fuckery you find yourself in with being in a place or a community that resonates with you and eases the burden. We've trivially written about debt, F**k it, think about it tomorrow. Explored Brex-IN rather than Brex-IT, imagine joining rather than leaving. Observed how comforting it is having a local to take the edge off while you chat S**t to your mate and tried articulating if all of this was any different - would it be as graceful?A1.
