GZH22 Trespassers William - The Natural Order of Things
Released May 25th

Ambient, minimalistic and down-right captivating. worriedaboutsatan have created a masterpiece of an album as they take you through the depths of electronica, immersed in weaving, beautiful beats and rhythms. Arrivals is an aural treat that will resonate in the heart and mind.

x]]> http://www.last.fm/user/gizehrecordings/journal/2009/01/15/2eh8kj_new_gizeh_signings.... Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:55:46 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/gizehrecordings/journal/2009/01/15/2eh8kj_new_gizeh_signings.... The exciting news we've been wanting to bring you for some time is finally here. We are delighted to announce that we have three new signings to Gizeh in the form of Trespassers William, Worriedaboutsatan and Redjetson.

Trespassers William join us to release their new EP 'The Natural Order of Things'. Previous releases on Bella Union and Nettwerk records means that TW are probably the most established band we have worked with to date and as long-term fans it's a real privillage to be able to release a record for them. Anna-Lynne's longing, comforting vocals are still the focal point but a more experimental backdrop has emerged through textured sounds and rhythms to produce an EP of staggering, elegant beauty.
http://www.myspace.com/trespasserswilliam

A new Worriedaboutsatan record 'Arrivals' will be released in April and sees a slight departure from the usual Gizeh 'sound'. These guys are seriously the real deal and their intricate, emotive, minimal techno mixed through swirling ambience and atmosphere will keep you hooked for sure. Taking elements of the likes of Boards of Canda, Sigur Ros and possibly even Burial we hope you will fall in love with this record the way that we have.
http://www.myspace.com/worriedaboutsatan

As some of you will probably know, Redjetson disbanded some months ago but left behind a fully-formed album in 'Other Arms' that was just too good to not be released. This will be limited to 1000 copies worldwide. Redjetson's debut album 'New General Catalogue' was released by Drowned in sound in 2005 and tours with the likes of 65daysofstatic, Bloc Party, Youthmovies and I Like Trains pushed the band to a much wide audience.... a band that will be missed but leave something special behind to remember them by.

There are no confirmed release dates for these releases as yet but expect them all to drop around April time. We'll keep you posted on all the news of tour dates, free downloads etc as it comes in.

Press for the album has been excellent. Here are a few quotes:

"While Chantal Acda's second album as Sleepingdog barely shifts from a stately first gear, therein lies its considerable charm. Against a backdrop of gently swelling strings and piano her clear voice enchants, particularly on the plaintive banjo-led highlight 'Ardennes' and poem-inspired 'The Sun Sinks In The Sea'"
7/10 Rock Sound

"Acda’s voice is probably as close to celestial as any human is ever going to achieve. Constantly to the fore but never intrusive, their graceful clarity is captivating and perfectly matched to the languid elegance of the instrumentation."
Sonic Dice

"Piano and vocals are well to the fore but delicate electronic noises permeate throughout, think Tori Amos lost in the dark. Acda’s voice is clear, pure and transfixingly beautiful, it evokes comparison to Lamb’s Louise Rhodes in tone, range and its ability to raise hairs on back of one’s neck."

Available on CD and download from the usual places.

Here's a bit of press:
"Press releases rarely get it right (One Night Only are "Britain's hottest new band" apparently) but the advice accompanying Leeds duo Glissando's second outing that it "should be listened to at night" couldn't be closer to the truth. Highlight 'Floods' for example, a 14 minute ambient epic of dark piano keys, haunting strings and resonating chants, is no summer jam. It does, however, have the kind of atmosphere that can captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquility sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up from."
NME 7/10

"This record completely took me over for the whole 70 minutes. I was hanging on every chord waiting for their next move."
Comfort Comes 9/10

"Low meets Mogwai, only with fragments of Regina Spektor at her most restrained. Exceptional."
RockFood 5/5

"the more sedate moments culled from Set Fire to Flames back catalogue are an underlying influence as are both the measured and mercurial montages cast into the public eye by early career Sigur Ros and Godspeed You Black Emperor".
Losing Today

"an album full of grace and beauty and one that is easy to recommend".
Blues Bunny - album of the month 5/5

"It's sad and it's beautiful and it cracks your heart like a rock"
Sandman Magazine

"The shiver of loneliness, so close to oblivion in the passion for another is old, true and made chilling all over again. Ultimately, pain, blindness and death are offered. And, as so often before, they seem unreasonably comforting."
Whisperin and Hollerin 7/10

"By turns achingly beautiful and curiously powerful, it’s very much an album to be savoured, allowing its quiet pleasures to envelop you, rather than expecting it to give up all its secrets in one go."
Audioscribbler

"a very moving record"
Leonards Lair

"an ethereal piece of work perhaps best suited for nighttime listening."
Subba Cultcha]]>
