Nuoità da parte di David E. Williams (che alcuni di voi ricorderanno erp Accept the Gift of Sin con Rozz Williams)

It is my great honor to introduce the new official video for my song "A Patch of Fog in Purgatory," humorously yet meticulously crafted by Ukrain Mom Productions.

Starring characters from some of my early songs (see how many you can find!), it is more than a fitting celebration for the official Bandcamp launch of my back catalog! Check 'em both out!

P.S.-- Although it's animation, certain portions are "mature audiences only".

Here is the video:

Thirty years into the conceptual crusade that is the Ultra Heavy Beat, our fearless Kapt'n K and his collection of cohorts have delivered a bold declaration of unremitting purpose. KMFDM has always been able to bend the lines between techno innovation, punk snarl, metal aggression. Dance beats and crunching guitars carry us through the manifesto that is OUR TIME WILL COME.

With this album We see KMFDM in top form, kicking off the album with the sneering humor of GENAU, where we are given quite the lesson in Deutsch zu sprechen. From there the band rips through the gamut, from the infectious slap bass of SHAKE THE CAGE, the uptempo hallelujahs of SALVATION, the seething menace of BLOOD VS. MONEY, to the battle cry that is the closing track MAKE YOUR STAND, this album proves that even though they call it OUR TIME WILL COME, KMFDM's time is now.

The concept of the "human zoo" has existed in art and literature for centuries, thus Electric Six recognizes and accepts it is not breaking new conceptual ground by naming its tenth studio album Human Zoo. It recognizes and accepts that old ground is being broken. Like teeth.

The first known reference to a human zoo is believed to be from the mid-to-middle 12th century, when the famous Flemish monk Wenslaus De Trappe wrote of his base desires to cage human beings and charge money to display them in humiliating fashion in his classic 14 Trappist Monk Tales. From there, the human zoo concept snowballed and could be found everywhere from Restoration literature (Lord Percy Nutton's Northumberland Abbey), to Nazi propaganda (Die Mensch Zooiedieschennel) to 20th Century American counterculture (Tal Rosenberg's 20 Days on Acid - I Am a Pinhole Camera), the last of which where the author famously imprisons his lawyer/traveling companion in a cage and places him at the corner of Haight and Ashbury to stand trial for helping contribute to a bad trip.

Electric Six recognizes the legacy of the human zoo concept and throws its hat into the conceptual milieu with a great deal of respect and humility. We do not seek to define the human zoo, nor do we seek to deconstruct it. We seek to explore it. We seek to expand it. And most of all, we seek to sell it to you.

Electric Six recognizes that when men and women are placed in cages and displayed like animals, a power dynamic is being constructed. The human in the cage has his basic rights discarded, his dignity stripped from him, whereas the human who pays to observe other humans establishes his superiority just by casually standing and watching, choosing to leave whenever he likes. In this same way, Electric Six seeks to put itself on display in such a manner that empowers the listener and debases the band all while making everyone feel like partying.

From the opening track "Karate Lips", Human Zoo takes the listener immediately into a teenage karate tournament for girls as refereed by Def Leppard. The crunchy guitars hit you in the face like a teenage foot and you immediately remember why you purchased or illegally downloaded this latest Electric Six album.

Like many E6 albums, Human Zoo does not have one defining sound, rather it is a sampler's plate of the entire history of rock and roll music. Like Motown...now we are doing Motown. "Alone With Your Body" is the feel good necrophilia anthem of the summer and it sees the band embracing this oft overlooked section of our hometown's musical history.

From there we ramble into the spaghetti-western marching band good times of "Gun Rights", the triumphant Disnification of "I've Seen Rio in Flames", and into the absurd hip hop of "(Who The Hell Just) Call My Phone". Thrown in a few classic rockers in "I Need A Restaurant" and "Worst Movie Ever" and you've got an E6 album, son!

But it's not an E6 album until the closer is better than the rest of the record combined. The gorgeous, haunting pop of "The Afterlife" might be the greatest thing the band has ever done. Ever.

Okay we said some stuff, told you some song titles, and threw you a few bones. Come on now, buy the record! Who cares about all that other stuff? Have a go, see what happens! Give it a shot! Human Zoo is available on Oct. 14 on Metropolis Records. Come see Electric Six play in your town this fall on the Some Girls Do It for Love tour. Visit electricsix.com for tour dates.

Arts & Leisure
Weekend / Over You
(Test Pattern: 7": TPR09: 708527002506)
7" $4.98
EXCLUSIVE
Release Date: 10/28/2014


Limited to 150. Includes a download card. Initial copies also include a limited edition custom 45 adapter.

Sacramento, California’s Arts & Leisure is back with a brand new two-song single, a follow-up to last year’s critically acclaimed debut album Choose Your Adventure.

The single, Weekend / Over You, combines elements of ’60s pop, ’70s punk and power pop, and ’80s new wave—all of which help to craft the group’s singular brand of buzzy, hook-laden dark dream-pop, or as they like to call it—California Goth Pop.

“Weekend” is a summer drive along the coast with the top down, salt spray in your face and heartbreak waiting around the bend. But the journey’s so brilliant it’s worth the risk.

“Over You” is a straightforward power pop anthem, in a distinct Joan Jett-meets-the Ramones spirit. Recommended if you’re in need of a post-break up song to play on obsessive repeat.

What critics are saying:

The UK-based magazine 247 called Arts & Leisure’s previous recording, the 2013 album Choose Your Adventure, a “faultless debut,” praising the band’s “excellent songwriting, quirky guitar lines and fantastic harmonies … People need to find out about this band, and quickly.”

Likewise, Big Takeover magazine raved about the band’s “bubble-gum catchiness,” as well as the way “sumptuous singer Gerri White’s sighing coo is now paired with equally exquisite co-vocalist Becky Cale.”

Release Date: 11/04/2014


Factory Benelux presents deluxe double vinyl and CD editions of Sextet, the ethereal yet rhythmic second album by Manchester postpunk funk group A Certain Ratio, originally released by Factory Records in January 1982.

Self-produced at Revolution Studio, Sextet saw the original Ratio quintet of Donald Johnson, Jeremy Kerr, Martin Moscrop, Simon Topping and Peter Terrell joined by co-vocalist Martha ‘Tili’ Tilson. Written and recorded following a transformative sojourn in New York in late 1980, the album reflects Latin, samba and even jazz influences (eg Skipscada; Day One), while still retaining Ratio’s signature brittle funk textures, heard in full effect on Lucinda, Gum and trancelike floor filler Knife Slits Water.

“It all came together for us on Sextet really,” confirms bassist (and latterly vocalist) Jez Kerr. “We were all working together - more involved in the recording, and what went down onto tape. It's definitely got something that the other albums haven’t.”

Newly remastered, the bonus tracks on both the CD and vinyl formats include non-album single Waterline as well as dub plate Abracadubra (released as Sir Horatio), and the band’s three song John Peel session from June 1981.

The double CD version also includes a further Peel session from November 1982, featuring two songs never before released on record: Piu Lento, and Who’s To Say. Also included on the CD are both extended 12” mixes of Knife Slits Water, together with an early demo version of percussive marathon Si Firmir O Grido.
