New Bamboo album details, plus upcoming Wolf Eyes London show outlined!

Morning there!
This week we’re very pleased to announce that our pre-order link is now live for our upcoming new album by Bamboo. The extraordinary album is entitled The Dragon Flies Away and weaves Japanese/Korean folkloric myths into the personal fabric of being. Released on May 26th, the album is available to order on transparent blue vinyl and digipak CD as of now!
Bamboo is the ongoing project from Nick Carlisle (of Peepholes) and Rachel Horwood (of Trash Kit, Halo Halo). Vivid and deeply poignant, Bamboo's music locks into a magnetic attraction between Horwood's flawlessly resonant folk cadence and Carlisle's pristine synth production. Initially released last winter on a limited run of 50 cassettes with an accompanying zine designed by Horwood, The Dragon Flies Away tells a story loosely associated with the Hannya demon mask of Noh theatre plays such as Dojoji, and reflects the range of emotion the Hannya mask is capable of displaying: obsession, jealousy, sorrow and rage. The Dragon Flies Away presents its story in two acts and is now presented newly re-mastered with a gatefold sleeve and lyric / artwork sheet. Horwood’s evocative paintings are given centre stage with the packaging, allowing the album's story to grow beyond sound, making the journey all the more immersive.
Have a listen to ‘Always Running’, living up to its name with its propulsive beat and plucked rhythm, building to a chase for Rachel’s dramatic vocal turn.
 
Sticking with records, yesterday Clash Magazine premiered a new track from our upcoming debut album from Feature. The song is called ‘Reeling’ and can be heard here, enjoy!
Banishing Ritual will be released on LP through Upset The Rhythm on April 7th.
"It's another understated gem from Feature, with the three-piece yet again eschewing grand statements to get on with the much more profound business of simply being an excellent band."
 
Also, Xiu Xiu's 'Wondering' video has just surfaced for baby-powder infused air on Paper Magazine. RIYL stuffed unicorns, molten wax, candy cigarettes and reading in bed.
'Wondering' is taken from Xiu Xiu's brand new album 'Forget', out now on Upset The Rhythm.
 
In terms of live shows, we’d like to thank you for coming out to see Milky Wimpshake last week, was great to see you there, never thought I’d hear their first album live in full. Our next show is Wolf Eyes in two weeks time, with Mumdance and Guttersnipe, plus a plethora of esteemed record spinners. It doesn’t get any better than that, ExFed Warehouse is our venue of choice and you can find full details below.
Talking of shows, in the last few days we have confirmed concerts over the summer for TERRY and a rare triple headline mind warp of a show from Ducktails, James Ferraro and Spencer Clark. Listings for both of those can be found amongst our show programme that concludes this swift dispatch, along with ticket links etc. Read on for everything and more…

WOLF EYES are the USA's longest-running homemade, primitive, electronic, poetry & radical vibes trio. They don't just release albums they launch scotched, taped nuclear audio fronts on humanity. Wolf Eyes dropped a behemoth of a record last year with 'I Am A Problem: Mind In Pieces' on Jack White's Third Man Records, but this time they are switching things up in more ways than one for their forthcoming 'Undertow' album. The Detroit dark ambient sculptors are launching a new imprint called Lower Floor Music, and the album will be the first release on the label. The first foray into the new album is the title track, which is self-described as a "sea-bottom R&B sound lurch" featuring ambient synth and haunting spoken vocals. This show acts as an official album launch, celebrating the release of 'Undertow' into the world.
MUMDANCE has built a reputation as one of the world’s most inventive DJs and producers, drawing from sounds from across the world but always putting his own unique spin on them. His early days as a producer saw him collaborate with big names from both Europe (Brodinski, Jammer, Skepta) and further afield, such as Mexican legend Toy Selectah, Brazilian groups Bondo Do Role and Banda Uó, and later Egyptian mahraganat icon Sadat. In 2013, following a two-year hiatus from original music, Mumdance released his most critically acclaimed music to date. His 2013 mixtape Twists & Turns was named FACT Magazine’s best album of the year, while his collaborations with Novelist, ‘Take Time’ and ‘1 Sec’ (released on legendary label XL Recordings), mark two of the biggest anthems from grime's recent revival, and topped end of year charts from Resident Advisor, Mixmag, FACT, Dummy, Noisey and more. Recently Mumdance has also launched Different Circles, his record label with Logos that specialises in ‘weightless’ - an already-influential combination of grime, techno, ambient music, sound design and more, and collaborated with artists such as Micachu, Pinch, AJ Tracey and Nozinja. For this performance Mumdance will present a new set of modular synth workouts.
GUTTERSNIPE are a Leeds drums/guitar duo who dive straight into a cauldron of hellish improv-skronk, paint-stripping abstract noise and nightmarishly deconstructed sonic catharsis – imagine the esoteric mayhem of Angel Blood combined with the venue-destroying psychic power of early Boredoms and Naked City, and you ain’t even close. Comprising the duo of Xylocopa Violacea and Bdallophytum, if Guttersnipe don’t blow away your cobwebs, nothing will.
 
Hope you have a brilliant weekend, thanks for your time!
