London-based Gum Takes Tooth's hyper-kinetic and unique approach evolved via drum-triggered electronics, manipulated to achieve a dynamic, rhythmically driven and flagrantly unclassifiable fury that flirts with both speaker-ripping psych-rock pyrotechnics and synapse-shredding acid house deliverance whilst stubbornly avoiding any of the trappings or clichés of either. 'Arrow' - their third album and first for Rocket Recordings, is both a portrait of their home-city in an increasingly alienating age, and a travelogue for an everyday journey involving battles for both time and space - searing and visceral yet suffused by melancholy and elegiac atmosphere.01 Cold Chrome Hearts (5 11) 02 The Arrow (7 21) 03 No Walls, No Air (7 01) 04 Slowly Falling (3 11) 05 Apogee (0.51) 06 Borrowed Lies (7 59) 07 Dream Circle - Cloud Cycle (1 08) 08 Fights Physiology (5 03) 09 Seizure (1 43) 10 A Still Earth (6 46) 11 House Built of Fire (8 04)

Net Neutrality is the principle that preserves an open internet. It's all about choice, freedom of expression and access to legal content. It's also how many of US discover new music. But if big telecommunications and cable companies have their way, you may only be able to hear what they want you to hear. That's why Net Neutrality is so important to musicians, fans and the independent sector. Many of today's most talented artists are demonstrating their support of an open internet, where all users can legally access the content of their choice without corporate interference. In support of this, the Future of Music Coalition and Thirsty Ear Recordings have brought 15 top notch acts together for the ROCK THE NET MUSICIANS FOR NET NEUTRALITY compilation. Wilco, Bright Eyes, They Might Be Giants, Portastic, Aimee Mann, Guster Matthew Shipp, Palomar, the Wrens, DJ Spooky, BC Camp light and more, have donated an original track to the compilation.
