New Album Scintilli Out Now On Warp Records
Download: "Missing" from Scintilli
Listen: Plaid Fact Magazine Mix
Since the release of 2003’s Spokes, Plaid have scored two of Michael Arias’ award-winning films, released Greedy Baby, an ambitious audio-visual collaboration, continued to perform around the world (including a landmark performance at Warp Records’ 20th anniversary celebrations) – and just recently released their latest album Scintilli. Plaid just announced a North American tour in support of Scintilli which includes stops at NYC’s Le Poisson Rouge and Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre.
Latin in origin, the word Scintilli can be translated as ‘I am many sparks’. A self-affirming mantra Plaid (aka Ed Handley and Andy Turner) claim to chant for two hours every morning, before starting work in their newly built studio in North London. Every beat of the work has been carefully crafted: they’ve calculated that each beat has taken approximately one day to construct - from the announcement of the laying down of the first foundation beat in early 2009, to the rendering of the final decay earlier this year. ‘This labour intensive process will guarantee long lasting pieces of music that can withstand the restless tensions placed upon them by modern playback devices’, they insist.
“There’s a fierce intelligence working here” - Q
“Scintilli is Plaid’s most confident-sounding album to date and certainly among their best work.” - Exclaim
“Perhaps an explanation for the beautiful noise emanating from Scintilli, Ed Handley and Andy Turner’s ninth album, can be found in their attention to detail.” - Mojo

Band of Skulls: new album, new video, new year
Read more / Permalink "...the biggest breakout of Coachella 2011 was Danish electronic artist Trentemøller...Coachella's ultimate underdog, stunning all onlookers and becoming the toast of the fest, with Twitter absolutely exploding with raves and recommendations by his set's conclusion...the biggest revelation of the entire weekend. Perhaps he'll be headlining Coachella in 2012." - Yahoo! Live Review (Coachella 2011)
Download Trentemøller's Remix of "Neverglade"
Watch the Trentemøller Fall 2011 Tour Trailer Video at YouTube
Featuring three-dimensional layers, cinematic lighting and unique special effects, Trentemøller's ever-evolving live performances were lauded at this year's SXSW, Ultra Music Festival, and Coachella, resulting in Yahoo! Music saying he was the "biggest breakout of Coachella 2011...perhaps he'll be headlining Coachella in 2012." The full lineup consists of: Jakob Høyer / drums, Marie fisker / vocal, guitar, Mikael Simpson / guitar, bass, Lisbet Fritze / guitar and Josephine Philipp / vocal (only on the West coast). To get an idea of what to expect on this tour, watch the incredible live video of his performance of "Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider Go!!!" in front of 50,000 fans at Roskilde Festival.
