Perfect Music



The more I listen to this album the more I realise just how perfect it is. Bass playing almost identical to Peter Hook but with a little more Simon Gallup at times and vocals only slightly less cold than Ian Curtis, but with a slick french accent, sits them nicely along side Coldwave bands such as The Chameleons, And Also The Trees..., Snake Corps and Comsat Angels. The guitar and synth on this album are where the real magic is. The melodies might remind you of Disintegration or even Loveless that just get built upon with layers of just the right synth notes and minimal lead playing until it sounds like the saddest apocalyptic film that was never made. Parallels between Euro Screamo bands can be made constantly through this record especially with songs like the instrumental "First Days of Winter" and "Pictures" that sounds like The Cure covering Raein. There is a link to download it at this blog.

Merry Christmas!

Ghost Dog is my favourite film. My dad made me this for Christmas. I'm not sure if I have ever been this stoked in my life.

New Blog!

I forgot the password to the old blog and had been reading the Algernon blog all day, incredible, so I decided to make a new one. Downloads to all of our stuff bar our new album are up, including the new single/EP, this is cheap though and Stu is a magnificent person so please buy one from him at Seaby Records if you like it. Sorry if you don't, please don't buy it because you feel bad we, and Stu for that matter, truly understand "try before you buy" is one of the great wonders of the internet. There is also a song that I got cam to sing over for an animation assignment up for download, the animation was woefully bad, despite getting a good grade somehow, but Cam sounds really nice. I hope you like it! It's emo! 

We are getting really really really really excited to be touring with La Dispute again. Hopefully see you there for a drink.

Here are the Shirt Designs for tour. The colours haven't been decided upon yet but will hopefully be more interesting.
