Making Trophy Lovers Out Of Old World Vultures

We have been pretty supportive of Canadian instrumentalists Old World Vulture, and we're pleased to announce the release of their album Trophy Lovers. Still playing with creating synergy between synthetic and analogue instrumentation, the quartet have created some interesting hybrids that successfully allows them to continue to further themselves from the post-rock trappings that they managed to vault on their breakout self-titled EP. Personal favourites include the opener 'Slave Traders, Horse Thieves & Other Villains' which strikes me as the perfect Rock Action cross between Mogwai and Errors (a collaboration I'd sell my new born to see) and the groove-laden bruiser 'Last Kicks Of A Dying Horse'.


You can grab Trophy Lovers from their website for a free download - well worth checking out. Then if you like, you can head here to get yourself a limited edition gold vinyl copy

Have A Lot Of Faith In Errors

We have a frontrunner for album of the year, folks.

I'm not going to say much about this, but Glaswegians Errors have managing to combine pop with synth ice, epic noise and soaring ideals to create an album that is eloquent, garish, flamboyant and subversive, all at once. Have Some Faith In Magic (out on Rock Action Records today!) is so different to last album Come Down With Me - which was pretty ace in itself - and so, so much better. I was apprehensive about the possible inclusion of vocals, but it works. Not traditional vocals of course (nothing here is ever conventional!!), but as another sonic instrument. This is a crazy awesome record. I implore you - buy it now!

Have Some Faith In Errors

One of the most innovative instrumental bands in the world now is Glasgow based Errors. On one of the most influential instrumental bands of the world's label (Mogwai's Rock Action Records), the four-piece have exploded since releasing their second LP Come Down With Me in 2010. They are preparing to release another hybrid meta-beast upon the quivering masses in the form of Have Some Faith In Magic, off which the single 'Earthscore' leaps from - and they threaten to rip the time-space sontinuum even further by providing more dominant vocals! Agh! Before this release though they have spent the past few months supporting label mates (and bosses) Mogwai in the US, then support Mogwai again in Glasgow just before Christmas, before planning to assault the UK's senses in February.
