There are also be two new T-shirt designs available, both as individual items and as part of CD and LP bundles.

What people are saying about Low’s Ones and Sixes:
"It's one thing for Low to have made a rewarding career of spare, dramatic, glacially paced music...It's another to make those ingredients sound so incredibly dynamic; to spend 20-plus years making a dozen albums that each feel distinct, and that each introduce new ideas, twists and ways to wring drama out of the space between notes…Throughout Ones And Sixes, the Minnesota trio somehow gives weight to airiness as comfort and discord orbit each other like a binary star. But every time the portent threatens to become overbearing — just as the mix of prettiness and heaviness tips a little too far out of alignment — Low punctures it with a burst of cleansing aggression or some pristine, exquisite surprise. Anything to keep us off balance.” [“First Listen”] - NPR Music 

"Low remain as vital as ever" - DIY

"After two decades, a band that could easily feel part of the wallpaper remain hungry to show that you never know what lies beneath" [8/10] - Uncut

"One of the most impressive albums of their career" [4/5] - MOJO

"Beautiful desolation....coolly exhilarating"  [4/5] -  Q

"Comfortably ahead of the pop pack" - Sunday Times

“It’s another subtly heart-rending effort from a band that remains one of the very finest in the
world. If you needed a reminder of why Low are an institution then this is it.” [8/10] - Drowned In Sound

“The band's strengths are here in abundance, but they are reimagined, twisted into new shapes and given a visceral intensity that is utterly irresistible.” [9/10] - CLASH

“...Striking a balance between their majestic, slow-moving melancholy and harsher experimental noise.” [4/5] - The Guardian

"Somehow, with each new release (and they come regularly, every two or three years), Low manage to find new ways of protracting their deceptively beautiful melodies." [4.5/5] - Music OMH

"It’s difficult not to be enamoured with Ones and Sixes" [7.5/10] - The Line Of Best Fit

"Ones And Sixes finds them producing some of their best work in years" - The Quietus

THE BLACK RYDER SUPPORT SHOWS WITH THE JESUS & MARY CHAIN

THE BLACK RYDER SUPPORT SHOWS 
WITH THE JESUS & MARY CHAIN 

 
  
"One of the highlights of the entire day had to be The Black Ryder's performance. Holy shit. I had been waiting to see this band for years, and everything finally came together as I stood in the very front of the Levitation tent." NOISEY


Having played in the U.K. and U.S. to promote the release of their new album, "The Door Behind The Door", with sold out shows in NYC and London, The Black Ryderwill be embarking on a run of headlining west coast dates in August. The band will also be re-joining The Jesus & Mary Chain on the second leg of their U.S. tour, following their previous critically acclaimed sold out North American dates together.

The band has earned a reputation as a formidable live act, noted as a highlight of the Levitation festival in Austin by fans and media whilst performing alongside such iconic artists as Tame Impala, Primal Scream and Spiritualized. Their album, "The Door Behind The Door", has been praised as one of 2015's most significant releases, and with Jim Reid of the Jesus & Mary Chain in attendance at their compelling in-store performance at Amoeba Music in San Francisco and numerous accolades from the press, the allure of The Black Ryder is undeniable.

These are likely to be the last shows the band will play this year, and with fans, the media and The Jesus & Mary Chain voicing passionate praise from their recent live shows the opportunity to see The Black Ryder perform live should not be missed.

KIM AND THE CREATED ANNOUNCE OCTOBER RESIDENCY AT THE ECHO

KIM AND THE CREATED ANNOUNCES OCTOBER RESIDENCY AT THE ECHO
NEW EP GET GO TO BE RELEASED OCTOBER 12th

" Kim and the Created's live performa nce is nothing short of a full-blown exorcism."- Noisey
 
Kim and the Created has announced the line-up for her October residency at The Echo, which starts October 5th and continues every Monday through the month. The weekly residency is jam packed with local favorites such as, Deap Vally, Sex Stains, Mind Meld, Walter, Audacity, LA Witch and many more! The last show of the residency will be presented by Lolipop Recordsat the Echoplex and will feature a very special line-up to be announced soon.
The second night of the residency will also serve as the release show for her new EP Get Go, which features two new songs that were recorded at Lolipop Records. A cassette of the release will be available via Lolipop Records October 12th.
Kim and The Created is the brainchild of local artist and musician Kim House. What started as a private, lo-fi recording project she created in her apartment quickly grew moments after a friend played some of her tracks on local radio station KXLU. Just two weeks later, she played her first live show by piecing together members of local bands. That trend has continued over 2 years later racking up 35+ band members! With the ever-evolving cast, wild bodysuits, heavy punk-garage anthems, and intensely strange, captivating stage show- Kim and The Created will rattle you to your bones.

Watch the music video for her single "Dead to Me" HERE.

Press Quotes

"Stylish, joint-smoking newcomer Pearl Charles might speak in the second person on 'You Can Change,' but the dusty rock stomper has a two-sided emotional core, just like the controversial '90s hit: it's rife with positive reinforcement, but still feels bittersweet" - The Fader

"Hooks you in immediately and drags you for a ride" - LA Record
"Bedding every track with cooing 'ooh's' and 'ah's, she buries her strongest writing in the midst of splashy drumming and cutting power chords" - Pitchfork

" updating vintage styles with contemporary urgency" - LA Times

New Dave Gahan & Soulsavers Album ‘Angels & Ghosts’ to be Released October 23rd

New Dave Gahan & Soulsavers Album
‘Angels & Ghosts’ to be Released October 23rd


New Track “All of This and Nothing” Out Today
Band to Play Six Special, Intimate Shows in USA & Europe
Multi-platinum selling, Grammy Award-winning recording artist Dave Gahan, along with musical partner Soulsavers, will release a new album October 23rd. Entitled ‘Angels & Ghosts’, this is the collaborators’ second album, following their critically-acclaimed 2012 release ‘The Light the Dead See’. The album will be released in digital, as well as physical CD and vinyl formats, worldwide on October 23rd through Columbia Records. The “utterly riveting” album boasts nine original tracks, all written by Dave Gahan & Soulsavers.

The album launches today with the online premiere of the moody, cinematic anthem “All of This and Nothing”, on VEVO. The track can be streamed here:http://smarturl.it/allofthisandnothing

An evolution from their first album, ‘Angels & Ghosts’ proves to be a markedly stronger and more hard-hitting body of work. Listeners can expect to be led through an aural mix of dark, brooding sounds, elements inspired by gospel and blues, and the stark beauty that has become a signature of Dave and Soulsavers’ works. Dave Gahan’s emotionally powerful voice has never sounded better, and drives the album forward over a landscape of meticulously crafted instrumentation.

A transatlantic collaboration, the writing process started with Dave Gahan and Soulsavers’ Rich Machin exchanging demos and ideas from their respective studios in lower Manhattan and rural England. They then recorded the album with additional musicians in studios around the world, including classic locations such as Sunset Sound in Los Angeles and Electric Lady in New York. The end result is a vibrant, live-sounding album, and proof of the “instant and obvious fit” Machin felt writing with Gahan.

To fully showcase the powerful, live nature of the album, Dave Gahan & Soulsavers will bring the project to life in a series of six special shows in iconic, intimate venues across the US and Europe. Starting October 19th at the first show in Los Angeles, Dave Gahan & Soulsavers will perform as a ten-piece band, with shows in New York, London, Berlin, Paris and Milan to follow. Tickets for all shows will go on sale September 18thand select shows will be broadcast and streamed for fans worldwide. Full dates and venues are listed below.
