Greetings to you. We are very proud to announce a new studio album from The Long Dead Sevens "The White Waltz & Other Stories". I first heard demo tracks over a year and a half ago as Paul from the band sent me one of his CD's from another project and mentioned the Long Dead Sevens to me. He sent me a link for a few mp3's and they instantly floored me and I played the demo recordings over and over. I wrote back to him to issue the record but in typical fashion, "oh these were just demo recordings" (to me they sounded golden). So the band spent some time in the studio laying down the tracks and then off to Berlin with Boris Wilsdorf to produce the album. So here we are a year and a half later and it is finally seeing the light of day. I personally have played 'Mother's Song' so many times that my 10 year old could name the song after about one second of music. Please preview the mp3 and video samples below. all best, chris.

The Long Dead Sevens "The White Waltz & Other Stories" CD and limited numbered edition of 400 CD's with the bonus album "The White Waltz Companion Disc".
Produced by Boris ‘Mephisto’ Wilsdorf, Einstuerzende Neubauten’s producer, .... Somewhere betwixt the brooding, 10 gallon groan of 16 Horsepower; the baroque drawl of Blue Ruin; the whiskey smell of Bad Livers and The Bad Seeds’ beef scented brand of western gothic hangs a wanted poster offering reward, dead or alive, for the atmospheric, detailed twang of The Long Dead Sevens. "This album is a masterpiece and I don’t use that term lightly." - Steve Dean
Two videos from the album are here
LD7's will be on BBC RADIO STOKE 94.6 & 104.1FM 19.00 and 21.00 gmt time June 19th playing a few songs from the new album. http://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/radiostoke/

Description:

  Ed. of 500 copies in a book bound case and 8 page booklet. Audio CD plus region free DVD consisting of  songs from “Black Om Rising” album performed live. Don't go round tonight, well it's bound to take your life; there's a black Om on the rise. And that black Om slugs all creation square in the gut. Seven That Spells spells, in this instance, EXPLOSION. Black Om Rising is a tightly-wound precision time piece ringing the hours with an effervescent brutality. The rhythm section growls with a low, mean thudding punch that could give the back end of The Birthday Party or Big Black the business in a street fight. Black Om Rising ascends; a beautifully bejeweled bloody stump of instrumental brilliance. Gilt post-punk edges halo the Kraut-suffused filigree of expert musicianship, that is not only capable of handling heavy progressive payloads, but also of circumventing the trigonometry of wank. Powerful, mellodious, charismatic, dynamic, weird a nd ballsy to the core. STS has compassed an album whose every drone, silence and screech is so slyly crafted that Mozart called from the 18th century demanding amps!

Description:

Ed. of 500 copies in a book bound CD case.. Kold Krush Groove, y’all. Literally! Individually Liles and Menche have torn the experimental world many new ones, but as a unit they achieve a critical mass so monumental that they deserve their own Hollywood-style canoodling name. That name: Linch-Me-Eels. The graceful ferocity that oozes out within the first few seconds is such that…well, let’s just say that if you called friends and told them you were on the moon, they would believe you. A vicious, celestial-cathedral rumble gapes its maw and spews forth into a sluggish river of electro-magma, reshaping landscapes once carved out by Cremaster Cycles and the gravitational forces of the planet Solaris. While Menche’s test-tones defying low-end slowly compresses the woofers into diamond earrings, an emerging theme for tack piano cautiously stabs at the din. And just before cowboy-robot-gone-mad Yul Brynner shows up to kill all humans, the piano slinks aw ay to make room for the buzzing progeny of the flies, whose crescendo of wing-beats quietly, subtly rises and rises the swarm to Jupiter and beyond the infinite. After multiple listens a Xen(akis)–like state is realized and there should be a giant Star Fly-Child in your living room. Brutally cosmic!!!

Description:

First ed. of 500 copies in a book bound CD case. Anakrid a day keeps the doctor slurred in a trove of fish-tallowed sling slong. This is what it sounds like when doves cry because the mother ship crashes into their nest in the 6th dimension. With this symphony of sickness comprised of scraped palpitations, pitched whooshes, roaring cathodes and syncopated metallics, Anakrid have another breakthrough chart topper on their bruised hands! These avant-garde hit-makers have real crossover potential, combining the best, most dynamic experimental noise with the very latest drones. This exciting NOW sound is OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Description:

First ed. Of 500 numbered copies. A new landscape is painted out of darkness by progressive strokes of the dawn. The finished piece is neither night nor day, but the transformation itself. Aidan Baker's (Nadja) "Book Of Nods" crests experimental peaks in similarly paced sonic transmigrations. His lustrous chimera blooms open in shifting onion layers built out of slow-moaning guitar, flute, organ and drums. The resonant frequencies of quietly crashing nodes vibrate the ozone with a sub-textural beating of multi-pianic feathers. Baker's prior metallic inclinations lend in heaviness, adding a certain stylistic thud to Terry Riley-like territories, and colouring portions almost as if they were middle passages in some sprawling prog excursion. A soft eruption of synchronous sweet airs.
