Howling Bells return with new album and UK tour

THE LOUDEST ENGINE

NEW ALBUM RELEASED SEPTEMBER 12th

UK TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

Howling Bells will release their new album on September 12th on Cooking Vinyl.  Recorded in Las Vegas with The Killers’ Mark Stoermer producing, The Loudest Engine will be preceded by a clutch of live shows, including a London date at the Electric Ballroom on September 15th.

A raw, psychedelic third studio album, and the sequel to 2009's Radio Wars, the recording of The Loudest Engine saw Howling Bells, the Australian-formed, London-based four piece comprising singer/ guitarist Juanita Stein and her brother Joel (lead guitarist), drummer Glenn Moule, and bassist Brendan Picchio - forge a sonic union with Nevada's expansive surroundings and Las Vegas's street-soiled vibe.

Howling Bells' desert sessions were the final part of a year-long writing adventure that saw the band, on their own tours and with the likes of Coldplay and The Killers, wander through strange American outposts and seedy European back streets in their downtime. Their travels provided endless lyrical inspiration; much of The Loudest Engine was written on the road.

My Tiger My Timing announce new single and Glastonbury show

MY TIGER MY TIMING

ENDLESS SUMMER

SINGLE RELEASED AUGUST 1ST 2011 ON DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

GLASTONBURY - JOHN PEEL STAGE + MORE SHOWS ANNOUNCED

My Tiger My Timing formed in London in 2008.  They were described by The Guardian as “deliciously upbeat and groove-laden post-punk” and by Clash as “alternative pop with a dark heart that’s bursting with desire”, and were recently named Beck’s European Newcomer 2010, CMJ’s Spotlight Artist and NME’s Breakthrough Artist of the Week.

The band have released two singles - This Is Not The Fire and I Am The Sound - and an EP, with material produced by New Young Pony Club and Hot Chip, released through Kitsuné, Pure Groove and Modular Records.

Inspired by rainy grey holidays spent in the city, wishing back to the never-ending summers of the past, the band’s third single combines irresistible schoolyard singsong with hypnotic drums, shimmering electronics and angular guitars, to create a perfect slice of modern leftfield pop. The band are currently finishing their debut album, with Endless Summer released on August 1st.

Live highlights have included tours of Europe in 2010, slots on the BBC Introducing stage at Radio 1′s Big Weekend, at the Isle of Wight and V Festival, and supporting Phoenix and The Ting Tings in Germany.  The band play the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury this summer. They have also confirmed a few more dates:
