THE JEZABELS release debut album Prisoner in Asia with Promotional Tour

Untitled Records are delighted to announce the upcoming Asian album release of hotly tipped Australian favorites, The Jezabels. The band’s debut full-length album, Prisoner, will be available in markets across South East Asia in June, coinciding with a four-date promotional tour of the region.

From humble beginnings in a Sydney University band competition to winners of the prestigious Australian Music Prize, singer Hayley Mary, keys player Heather Shannon, guitarist Sam Lockwood and drummer Nik Kaloper have fashioned a musical cocktail of power and elegance that has resonated with fans across continents. Their polarities of grandiose theatrics and gothic intensity melding into a trademark sound that is moody, mysterious and epic, whilst buzzing with the group’s ever-present knack for an irresistible pop hook.

Already Gold certified and #1 on the iTunes chart in Australia, Prisoner is a panoramic study of tension and emancipation, from the echoing stone cathedral of the title track to the sun-blasted morning of the first single, Endless Summer; from the cloistered atmospherics of the instrumental interlude, Austerlitz, to the chiming and climbing pop of Deep Wide Ocean and the quiet reflecting pool of Peace of Mind.

“The lyrics are set out as a letter to a prisoner,” singer Hayley says. “I’m interested in the idea of your personal role in your own oppression. To a certain extent the album explores the idea of looking at yourself as a prisoner and asking about the reasons for that. Are they external or are they internal?”

The first international act signed to Untitled Entertainment’s new record label division – Untitled Records, The Jezabels were ideal partners from the start. “The label is there to work hand in hand with our live business, and only with artists that understand the value and importance of touring,” says Untitled Entertainment’s Business Director Dash Nagata. “The Jezabels are a band we truly believe in. One we can grow alongside, who share our vision of wanting to develop Asia as a region for fresh and exciting music.”

A tireless work ethic remains central to The Jezabels. Their commitment to Asia has already seen them take part in the The People’s Party cross-regional series (along with Bombay Bicycle Club, Metronomy and The Naked & Famous) in January. Now they’re back for their first set of headlining club dates as part of a promotional album tour that will encompass Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Support on the evening comes from HK’s very own Sun Eskimos who will be playing an acoustic set to warm up the crowd ;)

● 樂隊介紹 BAND DESCRIPTION
﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣

Forget the G ( Macau )

Forget the G是近年活躍於澳門的獨立樂隊。在Radiohead, Nick Cave & the bad seeds, The Cure 等樂隊的薰陶下，音樂風格主要定位為另類搖滾(Alternative Rock)。樂隊集合著後搖滾(Post Rock)及實驗音樂(Experimental)的元素，希望為獨立音樂圈帶來新的衝擊。

樂隊首張專輯《Prologue》於台灣打狗棒錄音室錄製，由曾入圍台灣金曲獎《最佳製作人獎》及《最佳專輯獎》、亂彈樂團的童志偉精心打造。專輯內七首歌曲為樂隊概念系列的第一章，歌曲內容主要圍繞著外在和內心世界的掙扎，用最真實、直接的一面以矛盾的字詞描寫著灰暗裏的希望。看似表面的內容隱藏著深層的訊息，希望聽眾能從自已的角度出發，去窺探自身的內心世界。

Forget the G 除了一眾 音樂節 及 Live House之演出， 近年積極發展各類多媒体之藝術演出。樂隊於2010年及2011年連續兩次獲邀參與澳門城市藝穗節，並精心撰寫了一套劇目“Within These Walls…牆內之外”。集合著現場音樂、劇場、影像及場地設置於一身之實驗劇目，成功為澳門觀眾留下一個不一樣的多媒体体驗。與此同時，樂隊更與美國獨立音樂圈著名制作人 Manny Nieto 合作，於2011年澳門城市藝穗節帶來一個十小時馬拉松式之現場創作及錄音之節目，成為港澳獨立音樂團之間的話題之一。

“反反覆覆的情緒狀態營造出不對稱的和諧，
悲觀的字詞描寫出自身對世界的失望，
從而在浮沈的樂句中尋找一絲的希望。”

到底是迷幻？是後搖滾？還是Post Grunge？

如果這些平面的標籤都不能去形容他們的音樂，那麼Forget the G的音樂應該屬於一個幽閉立體的空間中。

Forget the G’s music has been described as Alternative Rock meshed with Post Grunge, while sonically full of outrageous elements from the Experimental world.

“The way we try to deliver our music, is to have our listeners being with us in the Subtle, Dynamical and Contradictive dimension that we comfortably found ourselves in.”

Forget the G’s debut EP is available in stores in Macau & Hong Kong. Digital downloads available on IndieVox, iTunes and Amazon Mp3.

The Yours

Formed in the summer of 2005, The Yours quickly captured the attention of HK audiences with their energetic live performances that blend squalling white noise with good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll sensibilities. Having re-emerged as a four-piece line up, they are currently preparing new songs for their debut album in a late night dive in Kwai Chung; aided only by the sickly rays of fluorescent light and a steady supply of budget-priced cigarettes.

Modern Children

Modern Children 是於2006年冬天成立的一隊香港獨立搖滾樂隊。成員包括Kenneth、Jimmy、Chih、Tony、Lung Wei 和Winnie。

如果用一個詞形容Modern Children，最適合不過的詞語是「繽紛」了。他們喜歡玩不同類型的音樂，以另類流行和後搖滾音樂為主﹔有別於傳統搖滾樂隊，除了以結他、低音結他和 鼓的演奏外，亦會以不同的樂器演奏，如手風琴、Rainbow Bells、二胡等, 力求得到不同的聲音，他們的演出保證目不暇給;他們的音樂「繽紛」，可以溫婉甜美, 又使人血脈噴張。樂隊演出經驗豐富，多次為海內外著名樂隊作暖場嘉賓，如英國樂隊的The Charlatans、北京樂隊的旅行團等。他們熱情澎湃的演出，更帶領他們踏足不同的國際音樂節舞台，如澳門的Macau Flash 2008、廣州的NOTCH 2009、新加坡的Baybeats 2010、日本的瀨戶內國際藝術祭2010等等。2011年年底，Modern Children 以iPhone/Android App 形式發放其首張同名大碟供免費下載。2012年1月14日樂隊於蒲吧舉行其名為「Come Come Come Sun Live 2012」之音樂會，並於同日發布樂隊首張同名實體大碟《Modern Children》CD。

Modern Children are Kenneth, Winnie, Chih, Jimmy, Tony, Lung Wei.

“Colourful” is the word to describe Modern Children. They play in different music styles and always go on two extremes: indie pop and post rock. Their songs were filled with all kinds of sounds by using wide range of instruments, from guitars and bass to rainbow bells and erhu. Their positive music and passionate live performance have been bringing them to different stages in various countries, including Macau Flash 2008, NOTCH 2009 at GuangZhou, Baybeats 2010 at Singapore, Art Setouchi 2010 at Japan, Clockenflap 2010 and Fever Music Fest 2011 at ShangHai. In 2008, they had their first solo concert at Kubrick, HK. In late 2011, Modern Children used an unusual way to release their album – iPhone/ Android App. It was probably the very first free App Album in the world, which contains 10 songs for free download. The band held their concert named “Come Come Com Sun Live 2012” at Hang Out on 14th January 2012. Physical copies of their debut album CD “Modern Children” were launched in the same date.

No One Remains Virgin + Error:Wrong

NORV，香港極端流行（Extreme Pop）樂隊。由 Bowie Mok（主音），J Mak（低音結他）與 Mono
Koo（軟件）於O九年組成。各人皆痛恨了本地流行曲許多年才發現原來這裡只有噪音，鮮見音樂。結果心情舒暢得要死，順道組個樂團向最忠於原創與實驗性的粵語流行噪音致敬。

HK Extreme-Pop Band NORV was formed by Bowie Mok (Vocal), J Mak (Bass)
& Mono Koo (Software) in 2009. Once we found the local pop scene we
hate is just a huge noise mess but nothing about music, we found the
urgency to form a band by making local cheesy pop sounds.

Puzzle Experiment

Puzzle Experiment (P.E.) 成立於 2011，為一隊Side-Project樂隊

由五位來自四隊不同樂隊的組員組成，各成員喜好不同風格的音樂，所以 (P.E) 的成立只是實驗性質，嘗試將不同的音樂元素混合。
就如拼圖一樣，每塊不同圖案和形狀的拼圖，經拼合後便能變為一幅美麗的圖畫。

四月二日，Puzzle Experiment正式首次演出。

Puzzle Experiment ( P.E.) is formed by Yeung, Chung, the guitarists, Kuen, the bassist and Pie, the drummer. The vocal of the band was suspended in midair. Til January of 2011, we met Manson and he became the vocal of the band.

On 2/4, Puzzle Experiment made their debut at Sai Wan Ho The Hangout.

In January of 2012, Ma Chin Hei, the bassist, joined and worked at Puzzle Experiment.

Lenny

Meeting by chance, five energetic and slightly hyperactive musicians formed Lenny in the winter of 2010. Spicing up their post-punk band materials with vivacity, the band gigs about town with their rocking and house-stomping performance that continually amuses and amazes, and rest assured, off the wall!

Biography (English):
“rega” is a Japanese progressive jam band which consists of 4 members: guitarist Ryuji Ide, bassist Akinobu Aoki, drummer Takafumi Miyake and guitarist Akira Yotsumoto. They hail from Ehime, a south-western part of Japan, and they carry on their activities now in Tokyo.
Their music is created out of their each music background such as post rock, progressive, organic groove, jazz, techno, breakbeats, electronica and so on, and their soulful music surpasses such genre. While their songs are composed thoroughly, precisely and carefully, they cast human warmth with the pleasant melody. Their live performance which expresses rush of their emotions is overwhelming.
In November 2007, their first demo hit No.1 on a sales chart of indiemusic.com, a Japanese indie music portal site. They released the single exclusively in 19 stores of Tower Records on June 4, 2008 and the next month their 1st mini album “RONDORINA” was released from JVC Victor Entertainment, Inc. They received the attention being selected as the new band of 2009 by HMV Japan. Their 1st full album “Million” released on April 8, 2009 reached No.1 on the daily rock album chart of iTunes Japan.
After the former guitarist was replaced by Akira Yotsumoto, their sounds were getting more sophisticated and “Orange” was released only digitally in iTunes Music Store worldwide on December 16, 2009. Their borderless music departed Japan to the world.
The digital mini album “IMPACT! EP” was released on August 4, 2010 and ranked No.1 on the daily rock album chart of iTunes Japan dated on August 4, 5 and 6.
Their emotional live performance has been drawing attention and they keep receiving offers for shows. The “Lyrics” release tour is scheduled in 21 places throughout Japan starting with the first show at Shibuya WOMB on September 25, 2010.

●3-part in(ter)ventionsについて: 「ヨコハマ国際映像祭2009」において開催されたライブ・イベント。
本人の体調不良により、刀根の来日は残念ながら叶わなかったものの、 演奏予定だった『MP3 Corruption Piece』がこの日のための新規録音として2曲届けられた。 イベントは大友、オルークの意向により、刀根不在のまま開催。
刀根を敬愛する2人のライヴ・パフォーマンスは聴衆を魅了し、イベントは大成功を収めた。

●ライナーノーツより: 演奏は、刀根の不在を埋める非常に充実したものになっていた。否、不在を埋める、というよりはむしろ、刀根の不在こそがこのイヴェントの中心になっていたと言えるかもしれない。大友のターンテーブル、オルークのラップトップによるデュオは、繊細で静謐な部分を多く持ち、音そのものに聴き入るようなマチエールを感じさせる。それに対して、刀根の録音が加わったトリオでは、刀根の音が発された瞬間(再生のタイミングはPAスタッフに委ねられていたという)、会場の空気が一変するかのように、音そのものの速度の変化が感覚としての時間の変化として知覚された。刀根の音が、デジタルデータのプロセス速度を音像化したもののように鳴り響き、共演者たちはそれに対して自身の演奏の速度をあげていく。 ─ 畠中実(ICC主任学芸員)

●刀根康尚 1958 年頃から即興演奏を始め、ハイレッドセンターとのコラボレーションやフルクサス運動への参加、サウンド・アートや電子音楽の文脈でも注目を集め、音楽と美術の境界を超える活動を行うアーティストである。2002年、万葉集四千五百首あまりを構成する漢字を全てデジタル化された画像で表現し、それを音声データとして出力させる「Wounded Man’yo」で「アルス・エレクトロニカ」においてデジタル・ミュージック部門金賞を受賞し、現在も第一線で活躍している。

●『MP3 コラプション・ピース』について: 本作品は、ヨーク大学(イギリス)のミュージック・リサーチ・センタ―のアーティスト・イン・レジデンス・プログラム「The New Aesthetics in Computer Music」の支援により、同センタ―で作られた。MP3は、ファイルの音声圧縮のプログラムであるが、この圧縮と溶解の間に介入してファイルをコラプトさせ、音響のソースを全く新しい音響に変えるというのが、アイデアの根幹である。コラプションの発生を1から1000までの間のパラメーターとして入力し、その結果エラーが発生する。だが、実際にはコラプトした音響自体を使うのではなく、コラプションが起きた時にプログラムが21のタイプのエラーを報告するという機能をトリガーとして21のビヘヴィアーを自動的に選ばせることによって、音源が全く別のものに変わるのである。 ─ 刀根康尚

Description (English):
The latest record on Tartaruga is the second full-length from Max Bondi. A departure of sorts from previous work, the album is an exploration of constraint, limitations, and repetition. Fragments of sound fold in upon themselves, constructing subtle patterns and melodies which overlay, interfere and diverge, varying from dense clusters of pulsing frequencies to torrents of cascading electronic notes.

The record is mastered by Brassica and released in a limited first run of just 120 full glass-mastered CDs, coming in a thick card gatefold sleeve, each one screenprinted in two colours, individually numbered and sewn together, enclosing a fold-out double-sided screenprinted insert.

As well as the limited CD release there is also be a large three-colour screenprinted poster, featuring original artwork based on the design of the CD. This will be on sale exclusively from the Tartaruga website, and only a handful of copies will be available from the total number of twenty prints. The poster costs £15 (including UK P&P) and comes with a free download code for the album.

Description (English):
nothings66 long-awaited new release is, from Tokyo Japan, Ametsub . His previous album “The Nothings of The North” gets a big evaluation from wide listeners of the world. It was chosen as the best disk in 2009 of Ryuichi Sakamoto and built a firm unique position in the current scene. Ametsub which is active based in Tokyo. In 2011, he played a live at L.E.V. Festival in Spain with Apparat, Johann Johannson, John Hopkins, Sbtrkt and others, it was called the best act live by a review magazine later and he left a large trace. Under activity across such borders, this album for the first time in three years is packed focusing on the musical piece played in his live, and an overpoweringly attractive stretch of his land exists compared with past work. A succession of feeling of floating drifting melodies that seems to remind an endless trip is finished in the strong sound-scape like a drawn spectacular nature, the solemn horizon, magnificence red landscape like an album artwork. We can feel a gloom warmth in sense of isolation. He passes various music-style creatively, this album has a many melancholy melodies that are changed faintly by old tape-recorder. The field recordings around the world. Also a new flavor with the prepaid piano sounds are knit. By the beat process closely and bold tone echoes sound, The one musicality that can be called the New field is beginning.
All 12 tracks that an infinite view of the world of Ametsub which evolved steadily was expressed in to the next field without being stopped on one place.

Description (Japanese):
前作”The Nothings of The North”が世界中の幅広いリスナーから大きな評価を獲得し、坂本龍一の2009年ベストディスクに選ばれるなど、現在のシーンに揺るぎない独特の地位を築き上げた、東京を拠点に活動するAmetsub。2011年、スペインのL.E.V. FestivalではApparat、Johann Johannson、Jon Hopkins、SBTRKTらと共演し、後日レビュー誌でベストアクトライブと称され、大きな痕跡を残しました。そういった国境を越えた活動の元、３年ぶりの今作はライブで披露した楽曲を中心に纏められ、これまでの作品と比べて圧倒的な広がりが存在しています。果てしない旅を連想させる様な浮遊感漂う旋律の連続は、アルバムアートワークからも感じとれるような赤く染まった大地、荘厳な地平線、大自然を描くような強烈なサウンドスケープに仕上がっており、孤独感の中に確かな温かさが感じられます。
様々なスタイルを独創的に通過し、古いテープで淡く変化した憂愁なメロディーの数々、プリペイドピアノで弾かれる新味な試みも編み込まれ、繊細な音色の響きと線密なビートプロセスによって、”新境地”ともいえる、一つ突き抜けた音楽性が紡ぎだされています。

一つの地点に拘らず、次なるフィールドへ確実に進化したAmetsubの無限の世界観が秘められた全12曲。
