Since releasing their debut full-length Con Law in 2009, Generationals have consistently delivered pop hooks shone through a melancholic prism. 2013’s Heza brings the band to Polyvinyl and along with the label change, comes a subtle but significant sonic shift.
Recorded in phases at Jim Eno’s Public Hifi in Austin, producer Daniel Black’s Bent Black studio in D.C., and the band’s hometown of New Orleans, Heza finds Generationals more satisfied in writing songs that breathe and grow over time. These songs show restraint, with hooks developing in the spaces between sounds. The attention to rhythms and textures reveals a more patient band — one willing to dig for deeper gems than in their previous work...
Read MoreCathedral have released a music video for the song ’Tower Of Silence’.
Inspired by classic cult British Film Institutions such as Amicus and Hammer House of Horror, ’Tower of Silence’ was shot on location during the British Winter of 2012 at Gunnersbury Park Tower, London. It features a guest appearance from Purson’s Rosalie Cunningham, who places a symbolic black orchid on the tombstone of each member in the clips closing scenes.
Directed by UK based Paraffin City Productions, Tower of Silence will be the last full production promo video ever made by this British Doom Metal institution and is taken from their final album, The Last Spire, out April 29th on RISE ABOVE Records.

Read MoreWe announce a group of bands who will kick off this year’s festival.
All of today’s additions will play either Pavilion Junior or Apollo Countdown, the flagships of new Nordic music on Roskilde Festival. These upcoming Nordic bands will play the Pavilion Junior or Apollo Countdown stages during the first four days of the festival, from 30 June till 3 July.
From the heavy end of the spectrum we introduce black metal-hope SOLBRRUD (DK), who like punk band LOWER (DK) and electronica producer REWOLMER (DK) are the shooting stars of the Copenhagen underground. The dark punk will also come from the other side of Oresund by VANLIGT FOLK (SE). Further East we encounter K-X-P (FI) who punk up the sound of mechanic German music of the 70s.
We are also bringing in a bit of Norway...
Read MoreAnna Lena’s haunting vocal style has been described by UK press as ’unique’ and ’ethereal’, and the imagery in her lyrics, especially given it being her second language, shows experience and conviction beyond her years..
Anna Lena has gradually been building her live presence, performing with her Orchids all over the UK and Norway, counting appearances at Slottsfjell and Liverpool Sound City festivals amongst those that have impressed, as well as a recent and hugely successful Norwegian tour.
She draws influences from St.Vincent, Grizzly Bear, Radiohead, PJ Harvey, Bjork and Ane Brun. Whilst similarities can be observed between her and the above acts, a mixture of folk, alternative rock and ambient musical styles create a uniquely dark, organic sound – ultimately one of her own.
Anna Lena ...
Recorded in a chilly boat, a dank basement and an old temperance hall, Vienna Ditto’s debut EP, Liar Liar, is a DIY diary of their first, turbulent, two years. Recorded and produced by the band themselves, the tapes were then rescued and mixed by Umair Chaudhry at Silver St Studios. The result is intelligent yet
memorable, spooky but accessible electronica mixed with dirty guitar riffs – or,
as Radio 1’s Huw Stephens puts it, ‘Portishead doing a Tarantino Soundtrack’.
The band – comprising vocalist Hatty Taylor and guitarist Nigel Firth – jerked into life in April 2009 when a hastily-recorded demo from their second rehearsal was played on Huw Stephen’s Radio One show. An appearance on the BBC Introducing
stage at Glastonbury 2009 followed, as did a Maida Vale session for T...
Here Is Your Temple invite you into their theoretical world of fears, obsessions, love, hate and progress. Acting as distant observers in occupancy of a Universe separate to our own, this debut EP is a veritable brocade of heavy, dreamy, alt-pop that channels the spirits of Nico and Beach House (while paying homage in their own way to the likes of Depeche Mode and Fleetwood Mac) before adding their own layer of sedate gloss. On this debut EP, the Swedish 5 piece (completed by
vocalist Emily McWilliam, guitarist Andreas Hourdakis, drummer Olle Nyman, bassist Ille Borg and Mikael Svensson on keys) look to cinematic works for inspiration.
From the first synth experiments in Tarkovsky’s Stalker, the cut up sound
tracks of Godard to Vangelis’ Blade Runner, Here Is Your Temple value their mus...
James Younger left his home town of Manchester in Britain at the ripe young age
of 21 and headed for the States. He hitchhiked across America, dissecting life in
conversations with all those he came across and scribbling down stories in a
notepad he kept in his breast pocket. These conversations and stories became the
seeds that would grow into his debut album of pop/rock anthems,Feelin’ American –
out on June 25 on Light Organ Records.
Younger’s first single, Monday Morning (the opening track on Feelin’ American) is
out now. Northwest tastemaker station KEXP debuted the track calling it, “A
catchy as hell piece of guitar-pop that is a radio classic like the Cars would write.”
The single is backed with What Comes After The Weekend and both are available
now on iTunes.
