Dead Can Dance Announce

"Children of the Sun" Video Contest



Dead Can Dance have partnered with Genero.tv to give filmmakers and music video directors the chance to make the music video for “Children of the Sun,” one of the highlights on their 2012 album Anastasis. The contest runs through March 4 and those interested can enter and see the official rules at http://genero.tv/deadcandance/.  The winner will receive £3,000 (approximately $4,700) and have their creation used as the official music video for “Children of the Sun.” Outstanding videos will also be nominated for the 2013 Genero Awards. Dead Can Dance and Genero will choose the finalists and winners.

Anastasis is Dead Can Dance’s first studio album in 16 years. Anastasis is the Greek word for resurrection and can also mean between two stages, which is a fitting way to title the return of Dead Can Dance and to start their new chapter. It is also an astonishing regeneration of the legendary beauty, power and spellbinding nature of the duo’s unique sound and vision. Anastasis is out now on [PIAS] America.

Agnes Obel + Lomography

Agnes Obel Partners with Lomography for
“The Riverside Rumble”



Fans Are Invited to Submit Photos Inspired By Her Song “Riverside” by Nov. 2

Watch the “Riverside” Music Video HERE


“Obel's music is as sparse as the snow-swept Scandinavian backcountry, and mostly scored for piano, voice and an occasional cello or harp. Yet it brims with a barely concealed passion that has helped make her quiet riot-in-the-heart album a huge European seller.” – Time Magazine

“It’s a rarity: a new album that…is great from beginning to end.”– KCRW

“…a stark, minimalist palette reminiscent of Cat Power and Joanna Newsom.” – Details

After a whirlwind year, internationally acclaimed songwriter/composer Anges Obel is happy to partner with Lomography for the “The Riverside Rumble.” Fans are invited to submit any analogue photo not digitally enhanced or manipulated that was inspired by Agnes’ song “Riverside.” Fans should upload their photos to their Lomohome, and submit them to the rumble HERE. The user with the best photos will win a signed Agnes Obel vinyl, a selection of Play It Again Sam label releases, a Twilight Blue Diana Mini camera + Flash Package, and more. “Riverside” can be heard HERE. Full rules and prizes below:

The Prizes

First Prize: A signed Agnes Obel vinyl, canvas print (vinyl size, set on wooden frame), a selection of Play It Again Sam label releases, a Twilight Blue Diana Mini and Flash Package, and Lomography Lady Grey B+W 400 film
Runners Up (5): A signed Agnes Obel vinyl, 10 piggy points on Lomography.com

The Rules

Film/Camera Type: Any analogue photo not digitally enhanced or manipulated. Please submit shots inspired by or relevant to the song "Riverside" by Agnes Obel

About Agnes Obel: Born in Copenhagen and currently based in Berlin, Agnes’ sparse chamber folk has been lauded by critics worldwide. After building substantial word-of-mouth praise across Europe and the U.S., Philharmonics was released worldwide on Play It Again Sam and [PIAS] America. The album was hailed by critics who compared Agnes to the likes of PJ Harvey, Joanna Newsom, and Roy Orbison.

Anika: US Tour 2011

Stones Throw recording artist Anika

embarks on long awaited

North American debut tour this Fall.

Dates include ATP, NYC, MoogFest, LA, SF, Chicago, Seattle, Austin, Detroit , Toronto

+ more

After extensive touring throughout the U.K. and Europe, the England-born, Berlin-bred Anika finally embarks on a long awaited tour of North America. Flanked by key appearances at the Portishead-curated All Tomorrows Parties in Asbury Park, NJ and MoogFest in Asheville, NC. Fans and critics alike were captivated, if not caught off guard; disarmed by the raw emotion of Anika's self-titled debut album (Stones Throw / Invada). Released amidst the blizzard of last December, Anika painted a stark black & white with telling covers and teeming originals. Inhabiting and subsequently haunting the words of Bob Dylan, Yoko Ono and Peggy Lee - atop a musical foundation built by Geoff Barrow (Portishead) and the members of Beak>. William Fuller (Bass) and Matthew Williams (Keys, Guitar) of Beak> join the run, alongside Andrew Sutor (Drums) and Rasha Shaheen (Backing Vox, Keys, Guitar) making up Anika's live-band. The New York Times called the release "Startling". The Los Angeles Times deemed it "Striking". With Rolling Stone (Germany) granting the debut disc a 4.5 of 5 rating. Anika's and her fellow musicians approach is simple, but basked in subdued complexities. Anika's debut North American tour proves to bring these elements to the stage. Watch Anika's official first video "No One's There" directed by John Minton and as featured on XlR8R and Pitchfork http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/16040-no-ones-there/
