Otti Albietz - And the Voices - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Tobias Meinhart Quartet - In Between [COMPACT DISCS] date 07/08/2014

Featuring former members of Akercocke, Voices mash a deluge of sonically lethal sounds into a harrowing new musical concept. Metal Hammer calls London, Inchevery bit as sprawling yet steeped in grandeur as the city it's named after.Inch Recorded at Hackney Studios, the band describes it as, Incha deep cinematic roller coaster ride through the darkest of nightmares.Inch

Vinyl LP pressing. Final from this beloved NYC group with one last glorious batch of shimmering janglepop / RIYL Weather Prophets, Go-Betweens. This is purported to be the last Pale Lights , as Phil Sutton has told me that he's retiring the name now that he's more active with his Love, Burns project. Although three of these songs have been previously released (including their recent Slumberland singles club 7Inch and an obscure compilation track, which weren't included on the recent InchWaverly PlaceInch collection), the other five tracks are all brand new, and not-surprisingly fit perfectly in the band's oeuvre of crystalline jangly pop that goes well alongside Weather Prophets, Felt & the Go-Betweens. You may be tempted to mourn their passing, but please remember that Love, Burns are just as adept at the same style of shimmering strummy guitars and warm organs, so please keep up!
