  6. start of a few reviews live footage of our great artists http://www.list.co.uk/article/42300-miaoux-miaoux-light-of-the-north/ Miaoux Miaoux - Light of the North This is a perfect example of how good pop music can be if it’s driven by a restless intelligence. Miaoux Miaoux, aka Julian Corrie, has been turning heads with his distinctive electro-pop sound for a while, but this first album for Chemikal Underground takes things up several levels. Infused with a glitchy, indie ethic throughout, this is nevertheless gloriously melodic dance-pop genius, with echoes of mainstream acts like Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx and the long missed Avalanches. Half the tracks here could be hit singles given a following wind, but Corrie also imbues the likes of ‘Stop the Clocks’ and closer ‘Ribbon Falls’ with a heart and soul absent in most electronic music. Ass-shaking and heart-warming, this is thrilling stuff.
  7. interesting music promotions are delighted & stoked to present MIAOUX MIAOUX + HYSTERICAL INJURY + AUTUMN HANG Saturday, 6 October 2012 The Tunnels (Room 1), Carnegies Brae, Aberdeen, AB10 1BF. Phone (01224) 211121 Doors 7.30pm Advance Tickets £6.50+ bf Available in person from 1UP Records Belmont Street, Aberdeen or via http://www.wegottickets.com/event/179735 OR £8 on the door on the night http://www.facebook.com/interestingmusicpromotions http://www.twitter.com/@IMP_aberdeen FB event here https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/307551512674851/ MIAOUX MIAOUX is 27-year-old Glasgow based producer Julian Corrie, who makes hypercolour indie dance pop that recalls the best of Caribou, Erlend Oye and Four Tet. After a series of self-released records, and acclaimed shows across England and Scotland, he is the newest signing to the renowned Chemikal Underground Records. The new album, ‘Light of the North’, released on June 11th, is already attracting rave reviews from blogs and press worldwide. With a stunning live show, where improvised loops and guitars collide with live drums, fizzing synths and low-slung bass, as well as producing slamming remixes for the likes of Silver Columns and Discopolis, Miaoux Miaoux looks set to make an indelible mark on 2012. The Times: "A hyperactive synth troubadour in the vein of Dan Black or Frankmusik, singing glitteringly melodic electronic pop songs that fizz with ideas" **** Joe Muggs (eMusic): "Matches a wonderfully unguarded indie-pop sensibility to clean and confident dance-pop synths. That Corrie can combine these elements successfully is impressive; that he can do it with style, and while creating insanely memorable songs, is even more so" ***** The Line of Best Fit: "Miaoux Miaoux caters in stunning sonic collages, delicately pieced together from pacey bit beats, chopped electronics, pealing synths, ringing acoustic guitars and his clear pristine vocal that carries an array of sweet pop melodies across the top" The List: "A perfect example of how good pop music can be if it’s driven by a restless intelligence." http://www.miaouxmiaoux.com/ http://www.chemikal.co.uk/ HYSTERICAL INJURY are a sister / brother bass n drums duo coming on like Blondie with Jimmy Chamberlain or Karen O with John Stanier (Battles). http://www.thehystericalinjury.co.uk/ "A great, rhythmically thrashing pop racket!" - Steve Lamacq "Extraordinary" - Tom Robinson "Stunning" - Bethan Elfyn" "Accelerated noise rock with a voice as sweet as sugar... demonic distortion crossing unlikely paths with angelic vocals... with each repeated listen, their songs etch their way into your brain" - Artrocker "Blind and foaming adoration is completely defensible" - Drunken Werewolf "Goes immediately for the jugular" - Tidal Wave of Indifference (Album of the Week) "Raucous and beautiful" - Glasgow Podcart (Track of the week) "British rock has been comatose for years, and The Hysterical Injury are one of the few bands around that sound capable of waking it" - Blood Red Sounds "Everything in life lets you down, in the end, apart from the Hysterical Injury" - The Girls Are "Hysterical Injury are fucking awesome" - Shrag AUTUMN HANG "Autumn Hang is the new name for former Peel faves The Bomb Circle. Having released 65 CDRs on the Spooky Kermit label under various guises in various genres it's time to go techno-pop(ish)...Recent releases have garnered rave reviews in Wire magazine (no mean feat!) with The Bomb Circle having recently provided music for the forthcoming British independent film 'Fit-Boy' whilst The Golden Wires post rock stuff can be found on soundcloud.

  21. some more superb reviews of Simon Scott, NEW album due for release a few days before Aberdeen date. The Wire Magazine say: "Scott is particularly adept at layering coolly shimmering guitars and dark churning currents of noise into something vast". "A haunting aspect of 'Navigare' is how it seems to contain traces of tunes that stand out like half-forgotten relics of the past. www.smallfish.co.uk"This is a tour de force...A stunning album". www.boomkat.com say: "ALBUM OF THE WEEK. Revelatory"! "A wonderfully rich ambient record in its own right - one whose residual echoes of a shoegaze past give it an appeal that transcends the usual parameters of drone music". www.fluid-radio.com"...as we approach the end of the ‘Navigare‘ tale the listener is left in a state of exultation knowing they have just listened to what has to be one of the best Miasmah releases to date". 10/10 www.EARLabs.org9/10 "The mysterious mood in this work reminds a bit of the films by David Lynch. With influences from (modern) classical music as well as modern electronic music he creates his own world of sound". www.textura.org"The album's epic tone is immediately established when “Introduction of Cambridge” rolls out sheets of ethereal sound so immense they'll leave you swooning...another stellar addition to the label's catalogue". www.somethingexcellent.com: "Navigare is a debut album that feels so assured...stunning"! www.themilkfactory.co.uk"With Navigare, Simon Scott has created a contrasted piece of work, its vast sonic landscapes challenged by abrasions, distortions, its structure threatened by decay. There are moments reminiscent of Fennesz here, but Scott’s ill atmospheres and wintry soundscapes make this a much more ominous and dark proposition altogether".4.7/5 "Simon Scott has crafted a beautifully consistent and rich batch of tunes. If one thing is being made abundantly clear, it's that Simon Scott is carving a space for himself amongst the gauzy, texture-oriented music of a certain group of modern electronic musicians". indiebandwagon.blogspot.com"This album is really stunning not only in it's detail but also in it's mammoth sounds. Simon Scott's work one can say in this album can be compared to Tim Hecker's albums ... this album blows you away with it's cyclonic sound"! My Rating : 8.5/10 /www.musiquemachine.com: "This record’s not for staring at the floor, it’s for peering up into a night sky spattered with northern lights"! http://mapsadaisical.wordpress.com"Another masterful addition to the Miasmah catalogue". ALBUM OF THE WEEK!
