The Wake - Crush the Flowers (re-issue)

Oh, the memories. The Wake were the first band of Bobby Gillespie. They were from Glasgow and during the 80s, they got to release music via the most precious labels of the 80s, Factory and Sarah Records. They never made it big, but they had the songs, all right. I believe I still have some LPs stacked somewhere.

Anyway, the guys over at Brooklyn based Captured Tracks label are putting their stuff on the market again. With all the 80s and 90s revivalists doing so good, here's your chance to enjoy some raw, original magic from another era.

These New Puritans are Hidden

2 years after the ravind reviews on their debut "Best Pyramid", These New Puritans return with their sophomore album, "Hidden". If there is one word that fits here, it must be ambitious: a six foot Japanese taiko drums, a thirteen piece brass and woodwind ensemble and Foley sound effect recording techniques, (including a melon with cream crackers attached struck by a hammer, used to simulate the sound of a human head being smashed). Add the voice of Heather Marlatt (of Salem), production by Grahan Sutton (Bark Psychosis) and mixing by Dave Cooley (Dilla, MF Doom) and you get the picture.

Oh, oh, let me not forget: the reviews are once again raving. Even more than for "Beat Pyramid". "Hidden" is out January 18th on Angular and Domino records.
