Our second studio album, Archipelago, is due out on the 1st October on Tru Thoughts (CD & digital) and Denovali (2xLP). Tru Thoughts are now taking pre-orders for the CD now – and for the very special price of £6. Go here to place an order.
On Monday 10th September Tru Thoughts are releasing a AA digital single featuring two tracks from the album. Vorka features our long-time guest cellist Su-a Lee playing the musical saw atop a hip-hop breakbeat, while Spoken represents a slightly new direction in our music, and features some acrobatics on the trumpet from Phil Cardwell, who you may have seen play with us at shows this year. We won’t go any further with the descriptions, listen for yourself here. Buy the digital bundle here.
There is also a brand new video to accompany Vorka, direct by Lumen. Check it out:
And to accompany all of this exciting news we will be touring around Europe promoting Archipelago over the next few months. You can see where over at our Dates page. We should have some more dates to add soon.
New Single: Fourth Wall b/w The Revival – Out Monday 25th February
It started life as a remix for a great band from Liverpool who were called Kinetic Fallacy – and still prominently features Hannah Peel (violin) and Emma Welsby (vibraphone), who wrote the original track.
The single is released on Monday 25th February as a digital download on Tru Thoughts records. You can buy direct from the label at their Etch Shop here, or at iTunes and other digital retailers.
Following the single release, the Archipelago tour returns to the UK this month, and we are particularly looking forward to debuting our new audio-visual show in Glasgow and Edinburgh next week. We’ll be playing a bunch of new tracks alongside some old favourites at the following places. For a full list and links to venues see our website.
