ANGELS OF LIGHT/ MICHAEL GIRA
"Eerie, relentless, as beautiful as a rainbow in a crack pipe." – Mojo
"Meticulously crafted yet vibrant and visceral…A magnificent, hugely welcome
return." – Uncut
Once the driving force behind the brutal nihilism and sonic extremity of
seminal 80’s act Swans, Michael Gira has abandoned the noise to embrace the
acoustic implosions of Angels of Light . Their third album, ‘Everything is
Good Here, Please Come Home’ was released earlier this year to widespread
acclaim.
As their creator says:
"[Everything is Good…] is a gift for the befuddled, the rancorous, the
deluded, the chosen, the failed and the insane, the crazed and misguided,
the spiritual seekers, the hungry, the numb, the inveterately passive, the
secretly angry over-achievers, the blandly normal, the well-primed
consumers, and the mildly, distracted and curious."
"Everything Is Good Here, Please Come Home’ is OUT NOW via Young God Records
DEVENDRA BANHART
"Imagine Marc Bolan creeping around the Addams Family mansion with an
acoustic guitar" – NME
"Something highly personal, spectral, and very special." – The Wire
Just 22 years of age, Texas-born, Venuzualia-raised, Star Wars christened
Devendra ‘Obi’ Banhart is sure to be one of the hottest tips for 2004. With
two releases under his belt this year already (debut full-length ‘Oh Me Oh
My…’ and mini ‘Black Babies’) his fragile, other-worldly, psychedelic folk
has already been compared to the likes of Syd Barrett and Marc Bolan. "He’s
such an extreme case of individualism without even trying" says Michael Gira
who signed him to his Young God label. "You open up an attic that’s been
locked for 50 years and there’s this magical, private world complete in
itself."
"Oh Me Oh My The Way the Day Goes By The Sun is Setting Dogs Are Dreaming
Lovesongs Of The Christmas Spirit," AND "Black Babies UK" are OUT NOW via
Young God Records
