Broadcast :: The Future Crayon rarities album out now

Incoming



broadcast packshot

broadcast trish



There aren’t many bands capable of producing the 18 slices of perfect experimental pop genius that make up The Future Crayon. And even fewer could boast a body of work so impressive that these same songs would originally be reduced to b-sides and ep rarities.


"As essential as oxygen." 8/10 NME
“Sheer quality” **** Mojo
“they’ve fashioned their own endlessly fascinating world” **** Uncut

Observer Review ****

Those who order from Warpmart have the chance to enter into a unique collaborative project with the band that will directly result in a brand new Broadcast song! More info in Warpmart.

Squarepusher :: Digital single series

Squarepusher

 


The new album from Squarepusher Hello Everything is out on 16th October. Leading up to this date a series of 3 tracks will be released as digital singles through Bleep and other major download stores. Only one of these tracks will appear on the album.

The series begins with the album pre-release track ‘Welcome To Europe’ on 4th September. Stunningly direct, melodic and uplifting, every time we hear it we can’t stop grinning from ear to ear! Track two will follow two weeks later (18th Sep) with the final track a further fortnight on (2nd Oct).

More exciting news about Hello Everything will follow in next month’s newsletter.

Clark :: Free mp3s on new site

Clark


It's very rare that an artist delivers an album to Warp's offices that absolutely everyone gets excited about, but Body Riddle (out 2nd October) is most definitely one of those albums.

Clark has managed to gracefully meld together a live rhythmic intensity with the vast sonic freedom of modern laptop electronics to create something new yet recognizable for fans of all ambitious music.  It’s undoubtedly his finest work yet.  And then some.

If you can’t wait that long (and we wouldn’t blame you), Clark has launched a site at www.throttleclark.com where he will be giving away free mp3s up to release.  First up is a collaboration with Broadcast.  It’s available now; so what are you waiting for!

Warp Films: This Is England

This Is England, the newest film from director Shane Meadows, will premiere at the
Toronto International Film Festival on 12th Sept 2006.

Starring Stephen Graham (Snatch, Gangs Of New York) and newcomer Thomas Turgoose, the film tells the story of Shaun an 11-year-old kid growing up in the North of England in the early 1980s. It charts his rites of passage from a shaggy haired ruffian into a shaven headed thug, whose anger and pain over the death of his father in the Falkland's War are embraced by the local skinhead fraternity and ultimately the National Front.

The film will also screen at the Rome Independent Film Festival
in October and at the London Film Festival in November.
