Big love to our friends over at Dangerbird Records - they were just nominated by R&R for Alternative Label of the Year. Standing in company with the other nominees such as Sub Pop and Astralwerks is something we are all very proud of! To see the entire list of awards and nominees look here.
The Mobius Band are set to release their new album “Heaven” and after listening to it - it’s the far and away the best work I have heard from them. I can’t tell you how amazing this record is, beyond that - instrumental versions are also available of all the new songs!! The album is poppy, experimental and is laden with amazing hooks and swells. One of the most unique sounds is the sound that they played with on this album - short circuiting keyboards. Hard to explain, great to listen to - check it out.
EDIT:
One of Polyvinyls latest releases was reviewed on Pitchfork today - and given the rating of 7.0. Have a look here.
