Your show at Start the Bus in Bristol last year goes down as one of my favourite shows of all time (after Julian Cope and Love with Arthur Lee). I have since discovered Field Music and The Week That Was, who I hadn't heard of until listening to Marc Riley (prior to discovering his show my music tastes was going nowhere after the sad loss of Peel).

I have a page on Bebo that is dedicated to alternative/indie music old and new (including each of School of Language, Field Music and The Week That Was).

The link to the page is www.bebo.com/deadpopstars or just search indie and it's the only one that doesn't focus on the mainstream stuff they try to call indie these days.

Thanks

"They're everyone's (or should be) favourite Japanese post rock band", according to Norman Records.

Combining a Steve Reich-sense of guitar-driven melodic elements with an abstract, almost Trans-Am like dexterity, each song builds in intricacy and volume until the immaculate devastation of the drums kick in, taking off on a flight into a vast sky of loneliness.
STRICTLY LIMITED TO 150 COPIES! Half have already went via pre-order, so if you want one, order now!

"Telos is clearly not here to hand out sweets. Nightend is a collection of experimental snapshots from one

possible future, a dark meditation that just might be about the enslavement of mankind by machines or the

dislocation of urban communities in the 21st Century. ...Ace. Doom-laden electronica, dissonance and fractured

vocals."
