"one of the most innovative minds in modern British music" Pitchfork (Best New Music)
"hearing a leading young classical composer, regardless of gender, leap ahead of the pack to make electronic pop that's both accessible and out there is something very special" WIRE
"jaw-dropping debut" The Line of Best Fit
The follow-up to 2012's Black Prince Fury EP and 2013's Jet Black Raider EP, Anna Meredith's debut full length Varmints.

For all its atmospheric, Varmints is held together by Meredith's expert understanding of dynamics. "Pacing is a physical thing," she explains. "I can feel when stuff has to happen in a track. I knew I wanted Varmints to end privately but start confidently, have moments of privacy and moments of power and build'.

Part of Gizeh's new 'Dark Peak' series of releases.
Heavy, reverberating drones and bleak orchestral passages form the soundtrack to the independent, silent film The Roman. Æmaeth is the project of Owen Pegg (A-Sun Amissa / Hundred Year Old Man) and The Roman is his latest piece of film scoring. Pegg has also recently composed scores for The Raindance 10 minute short 2014 winner Man Can and Raindance 2015 'Dark Wave' entry To Catch A Butterfly."
The Roman's 60 minute journey is dissected into 10 pieces and the stark atmosphere remains throughout, with fleeting moments of hope and light emerging from time to time. It's an altogether immersive experience, and one that works equally with or without the accompanying film and imagery. The bone-chilling soundscapes move almost in slow-motion, the claustrophobic tones are bordering on suffocating at times, but there is always sweet relief close at hand; a break in clouds and a crack of light for company.
The record started life as a series of improvised drones and motifs played on guitar and piano to rough cuts of scenes during the film's post production. At this point the production was unravelling the story and, as edits were made and initial cuts started to filter through, the rough improvisations began to find their place within the context of the film. This process allowed for the gradual addition of further instrumentation and players as a ‘building-block’ process, where the mood and requirements for each scene dictated the direction of every movement. This allowed each piece to develop independently while simultaneously maintaining and even revisiting sounds over and over, creating themes for characters and a memory of the path already travelled. This idea is typified by the recurring saw-like bowed guitar which repeatedly breaks through, reminding us of what follows the two companions – death.
Upon completion of the film, and its premiere on May 10th 2014, work began to piece the score together into a cohesive album in its own right. Further studio time was logged with long standing friend and collaborator Richard Knox (A-Sun Amissa / Shield Patterns / The Rustle of the Stars / Glissando) to hone and polish the individual musical ‘scenes’ into a flowing album that seamlessly moves between the delicate structured melodies and dense uneasy drones.
This record forms the first release in Gizeh Records' new 'Dark Peak' series, a collection of limited CD editions, housed in special hand-crafted packaging, designed and assembled at Gizeh HQ.

最早是一张8曲EP，或者可以说是一张mini Album，后来1988年Midnight加了几首歌，和《Feeding The Flame》一起再版发行。
Somewhere in the overlooked world of early 80's post-punk and college rock is Sad Lovers and Giants. This English band put out some fine music, comparable with early Cure, Sound, Chameleons, and Joy Division, but also with a touch of jangle-pop and psychedelia thrown in. Epic Garden Music is probably their best work, particularly with this CD release, which adds seven bonus tracks including the excellent "Imagination", as well as other fine tracks such as "Tightrope Touch" (my second favorite track) and "Colourless Dream". If there is any complaint it's that the bonus tracks are considerably better than the album tracks, which must be why they were put before the album cuts on the CD. They lyrics range from moderate to very thought-out and passionate, and the music, while sparse and lacking in production, actually fits quite well. This is a very difficult album to locate, but it's certainly something I'm glad I came across.

Digitally remastered edition of the British Post-Punk band's first full-length album, originally released in 1983. Sad Lovers And Giants first full release was a brilliant atmospheric album containing elements of Joy Division and The Chameleons and, more tellingly, of bands that followed. Feeding the Flame showcases the original line up at their very best. 13 tracks. Cherry Red. 2009.

Eliot Sumner has announced her brand new, highly anticipated full length album, Information, will be released on January 22, 2016.
The album, recorded in London, is a testament to Eliot’s talent as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist and takes influences from Krautrock-inspired riffs to pulsing electronic rhythms. “It’s the kind of music that I would probably listen to myself,” says Eliot of her new incarnation.
By pre-ordering this new album through PledgeMusic you will be able to join Eliot Sumner on tour, in the studio and access exclusive behind-the-scenes content, pictures from the road, new music and more. Alongside the traditional album formats you can purchase signed merchandise and one time experiences.
Eliot’s album follows on from the hugely well received ‘Information EP’ which Eliot released last year, her UK tour with Lykke Li and the four-part series of gritty synth-rock videos she made for Dead Arms and Dead Legs, After Dark, Firewood and Species (all featuring on the album).

Laura Cannell is a British composer and improvising recorder player and violinist. Her work is known for combining the influences of early music, folk and experimental music.
