Press Info (English):
Today Lost Under Heaven unveil a brand new track and video. Watch the video for ‘I&I’, the first official music to be released since their recent signing to Mute, below.

LUH (which stands for Lost Under Heaven) is Ellery Roberts and Ebony Hoorn. Over the past two years, they have been releasing music, art, photography, film and manifestos into the world, including 2014’s ‘Unites’ video and the expansive ‘Lost Under Heaven’ music and artwork package at the end of last year.

Ellery’s name might be familiar as the frontman of WU LYF, whose raw and primal voice helped create a sound that shaped a new model for the untamed fury of youth. Ebony is an audio-visual artist based in Amsterdam, where the pair now live, and co-directed the new video with Florian Joahn.

The track was produced by The Haxan Cloak (known for his own genre-bending experimental compositions and work on Björk’s Vulnicura album) in 2015 on the remote island of Osea.

 

Press Info (German):
LUH veröffentlichen mit “I&I” das erste offizielle Stück, seit sie zuletzt bei Mute einen Plattenvertrag unterzeichnet haben.

LUH (das für Lost Under Heaven steht), sind Ellery Roberts und Ebony Hoorn. Übe einen Zeitraum von zwei Jahren veröffentlichten sie bereits gemeinsam Musik, Kunst, Fotografie, Filme und Manifeste, unter anderem das ?Unites?-Video und das ausladende “Lost Under Heaven”. Musik- und Kunstpaket zum Ende des letzten Jahres.

Ellery Roberts dürfte dem ein oder der anderen bekannt sein als Frontmann von WU LYF, der mit seiner rauen Stimme im Alleingang gewissermaßen eine neue Art der Lebensäußerung von Jugend erfand. Ebony Hoorn ist eine Amsterdamer Künstlerin, die im Bereich audiovisueller Medien arbeitet – in Amsterdam wohnt das Paar auch derzeit. Zusammen mit dem bildenden Künstler Florian Joahn hat sie das hier vorliegende Video gedreht.

Produziert wurde das Stück von Bobby Krlic alias The Haxan Cloak, der neben seinem eigenem genreüberschreitenden Drone- und Ambientwerk nicht zuletzt für Björk und Health gearbeitet hat.

Allan Align

 

Info:
Max Gruber is Drangsal, person and artist melting into one through his restlessness. He rarely sleep and work on his music all the time – day and night. He doesn’t dream but has phantasies all day.

There were only a few demo takes on his soundcloud that impressed so he got book to tour with Dagobert and Kraftklub. And now he delivers his debut single “Allan Align” which is taken from his upcoming album “Harieschaim” (out soon on Caroline).

His sound is 80-esque, new wave, punk …

Press Info:
Multi-platinum selling, Grammy Award-winning recording artist Dave Gahan, along with musical partner Soulsavers, will release a new album October 23rd. Entitled ‘Angels & Ghosts’, this is the collaborators’ second album, following their critically-acclaimed 2012 release ‘The Light the Dead See’. The album will be released in digital, as well as physical CD and vinyl formats, worldwide on October 23rd through Columbia Records. The “utterly riveting” album boasts nine original tracks, all written by Dave Gahan & Soulsavers.

The album launches today with the online premiere of the moody, cinematic anthem “All of This and Nothing”, can be heard below.

An evolution from their first album, ‘Angels & Ghosts’ proves to be a markedly stronger and more hard-hitting body of work. Listeners can expect to be led through an aural mix of dark, brooding sounds, elements inspired by gospel and blues, and the stark beauty that has become a signature of Dave and Soulsavers’ works. Dave Gahan’s emotionally powerful voice has never sounded better, and drives the album forward over a landscape of meticulously crafted instrumentation.

A transatlantic collaboration, the writing process started with Dave Gahan and Soulsavers’ Rich Machin exchanging demos and ideas from their respective studios in lower Manhattan and rural England. They then recorded the album with additional musicians in studios around the world, including classic locations such as Sunset Sound in Los Angeles and Electric Lady in New York. The end result is a vibrant, live-sounding album, and proof of the “instant and obvious fit” Machin felt writing with Gahan.

To fully showcase the powerful, live nature of the album, Dave Gahan & Soulsavers will bring the project to life in a series of six special shows in iconic, intimate venues across the US and Europe. Starting October 19th at the first show in Los Angeles, Dave Gahan & Soulsavers will perform as a ten-piece band, with shows in New York, London, Berlin, Paris and Milan to follow. Tickets for all shows will go on sale September 18th and select shows will be broadcast and streamed for fans worldwide. Full dates and venues are listed below
