Retribution Gospel Choir - The Revolution [E ..For those of you unaware of them, the Retribution Gospel Choir is a three piece band, featuring Alan Sparhawk and Steve Garrington of Low, along with drummer Eric Pollard. With two albums under their belt, this trio had begun to carve out their own sound, which still owed something to the music of Low, but was distinctly noisier and more inclined towards loud guitar solos. Now, with the release of this four song EP they have reigned in the indulgence of the preceding albums and delivered something which can best be described as power-pop. The Revolution EP is basically a ...The 4059 April 2012

Low - Live At Royal Festival Hall, London ..An April shower of epic proportions sees tonight’s audience dripping, shivering and smelling slightly of wet dog as they make their way into the warmth of the auditorium at London’s Royal Festival Hall. Their discomfort will soon be swapped for something more soothing. Not the glass of wine costing £7, but Low – a band so-called because of their “slowcore” style – consisting of measured tempos and minimal arrangements. The formality of the venue with its rows of tiered seating, lends itself to the stillness that is to come. Support is provided by Lanterns On The Lake: a six-piece who ...Clash Music5 April 2012

All Tomorrow's Parties curated by Jeff Mangu ..Photos by Simon Godley All Tomorrow's Parties festival is one of my favourite events, but there were a few things that worried me about this one. Would Jeff Mangum be able to pull together a bill and a performance that would reflect his brief but stunning legacy from his Neutral Milk Hotel? Also, after this event was postponed from last December amid rumours of financial difficulties, would the festival itself deliver the same experience as previous years? I need not have worried, because after three packed and varied days where it was difficult to find any musical disappointments, I ...The 40515 March 2012

Gira has been more than busy crafting The Seer , a the megalithic follow-up to 2010's cauterizing as ever reunion bid My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky , promising a whopping two hours of music on double CD and triple vinyl.
