Info: www.divineagency.org/www.myspace.com/clubintegral. - Patten " ...the listener is drawn into a simplified world of ordered purposeful harmony, as microscopic in its exquisite detail as the music of the spheres is vast and expansive in its wonder" Wire magazine - Glassglue "vocalist Marcel Stoetzler... holds fort with a half-theatrical, half-knowing line in delivery and patter, whilst Matthew Karas, Gianluca Galetti and Emyr Tomos stagger with poise around the margins of time signatures." Takingnotes.org.uk The Nobodies "The Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone De Beauvoir des nos jours.... tragic, haunting and very funny". Resonance Radio

TETINE "Brazilian duo Tetine were a huge inspiration on CSS, who turn up here for a typically boisterous remix. The original is the prime-pick, though, a joyful playground chant of pop Baile Funk." Fact Magazine"Always i"A
"The off-kilter, mutated funk, electro and sound manipulation that comprises this inventive and gravely album is an absolute treat." Joe Shooman, PLAN B, June 2008
THE TEMPERATURES "The Temperatures again prove that they are one of London's most spasmodically captivating outfits with the release of their first LP, Ymir (Heat Retention). The previous 7" aktion has been good (particularly the debut 7" on 4th Harmonic), but this record drags the whole drum/bass/duo concept into a new sludgier realm. They don't so any of the proto-prog calesthetics of Lightning Bolt, but prefer to just roll around in muzz. Which is a fairly admirable alternative, eh?" Thurston Moore

Club Integral Pre- Yule Party - an early festive fiesta...
13th December 2008 at The Grovesnor, 17 Sidney Road, Stockwell, London SW9 0TP
An unmissable night of music from London's home to the unpredictable... Jack Shirt - one-man machine-tooled psychedelia The Boycott Coca-Cola Experience - green-tinged agit-prop blues The No Frills Band - feral folk troubadours Superstrings - 2 : King and Cornetto - sick jazz + special guests - Popskulls - tunes from the boneyard Plus esoteric projections from Jaime Rory Lucy of Rucksack Cinema and music from legendary DJ Chris Cornetto
Club Integral @ Cafe Oto, 18-22 Ashwin St, Dalston E8 - Friday 5th December Featuring music from Fukuoka's angriest Diva Atsuko Kamura and her band I Am A Kamura, plus special guests Strathbungo Schleppers (poet and raconteur Ivor Kallin and meta-guitarist John Bissett). Doors 8.30 to 12.00 Entry £5/£7
Atsuko Kamura's debut solo album is one of this year's most remarkable collection of songs... I Am A Kamura are all about live playing and uncanny vocal delicacy. Are we in a hotel bar in 1930s downtown Fukuoka, Kamura's hometown in Japan? Or are those harps and strings from Wong Kar-Wai's heady 2046-style fantasies? In fact Kamura's music could only have been made right now and in London, for all its Japanese lyrics and faux-oriental touches over Latin rhythms. Clive Bell - Wire magazine, November 2008
John Bisset is a quietly brilliant improvisational guitarist; Ivor Kallin is a bearded Scotsman. Bisset extemporises appropriate accompaniment on an acoustic guitar; Kallin intones apocalyptically sinister street names. Stewart Lee - the Times
