A GRAVE WITH NO NAME - 'MOUNTAIN DEBRIS'

CD + DOWNLOAD ALBUM OUT NOW

"A uniquely 21st century take on lo-fi that compels spectral washes of sound to tussle with fuzy guitar breaks in a considered game of cat and mouse. 8/10." NME "A shoegazing masterpiece to round off a year of lo-fi brilliance." Dummy "Overall contemplative and haunting, it takes several spins before the album's full depths and stark beauty can be fully discovered. With this album they've cemented that they'll be remembered, if not by the masses then at least by those that really matter." Loud and Quiet "Largely conceived in the London bedroom studio of frontman Alex Shields, Mountain Debris is an impressive collection of distortion-bathed pop tunes that manages to stand out, even in an increasingly crowded lo-fi field. Combining a rough-around-the-edges pop pedigree with the warm fuzz of C86, the bleak soundscapes of vintage shoegaze, and just a hint of sweet psychedelic swirl, A Grave With No Name crafts impressively affecting songs that rarely crack the two-minute mark. It's something like Jay Reatard on Quaaludes. Whether it's woozy acoustic pop ("Lavender," "Open Water"), noisier shitgaze ("And We Parted Ways at Mt. Jade), or stompy proto-grunge that tugs at your heartstrings (album standout "Sofia"), Mountain Debris is a stellar first effort." XL8R

Tuesday 26th January 2010 Hoxton Bar Kitchen, Old Street 2000 - 2300 HRS LIVE Vivian Girls Touring to support their recent second album for cult Californian label In The Red, Vivian Girls sing about love and heartbreak over a brilliant Spectorish garage-rock backing. Veronica Falls Though they take their cues as much from Motown as they do Postcard, Veronica Falls make very British sounding garage-indie and have a release soon due on US label Captured Tracks. Beyond that, they'll probably soundtrack a Hollywood high school summer slowly falling in on itself. DJs No Pain In Pop Sexbeat Split Tapes Advance tickets HERE
