> GROWING
GROWING is a trio based in Olympia, WA. Using guitars, bass and electronics,
they create rows of ascending and descending intervals of noise and silence
which move rhythmically and reveal latent harmonies and dynamics. Check out
their debut album on KRANKY records.
MARK EVAN BURDEN’s (ex GET HUSTLE) first set of solo recordings, is a beautiful
composition of electronics and piano influnced by John Cage and Gyorgy Ligeti.
GROWING / MARK EVAN BURDEN split CD: This split album is at the pressing plant
right now, the official release date is scheduled for the end of march. Growing
are working on their summer US tour; EU tour is also in the works: look out for
it in the autumn.
> YOUNG PEOPLE
YOUNG PEOPLE will be touring with THE GOSSIP for 2 1/2 weeks and then they’ll be
around on tour as well for 15 days with LIARS and GET HUSTLE; their self-titled
LP is still available in his limited cover edition. In late summer YOUNG PEOPLE
will write and record new songs that will be out on Heroine! Tour dates and more
info will be posted soon on the site…
> XIU XIU
“Chapel and Live” LP (it will include 6 ephocal live tracks and the digitally
remastered version of Chapel Of The Chimes ) is out in March! This will be a
limited release, as usual, and still about XIU XIU, we’re glad to announce two
more records to be released during the year: a 5 (new) song 12″ EP and a
reworked/remixed LP/CD that will feature contributions from great, outstanding
electronics/avantgard artists.
Needless to say, more info will be soon added here. As for now do not miss the
incredible brand new album on TOM LAB/5RC. XIU XIU is touring Europe in the
