Televise - "Secret Valentine"

> ::: This is what www.smallfish.co.uk said about the new album:
**" And here's the second release on Distant Noise which comes from one of my personal favourites... Televise. Following a superb release on Drifting Falling and the original band album on Club AC30, Simon has put together another gorgeous collection of guitar- and electronic-based tracks. Peaceful, serene and, at times, soaring sounds that have that lightly shoegazey feel (sorry, I hate saying that to be honest, but it does make sense) and a wonderfully realised sense of melodic pace. I think these are quite possibly my favourite tracks by him so far as the whole things flows effortlessly. A brilliant release then and another string in the bow of Distant Noise. Class".
> ::: This is what Norman Recrds said:
***"Televise had a cracking single out a while back which we liked so much we gave it single of the week. Well tonight Matthew, Televise bring us a new 9 track album on Distant Noise Records. Secret Valentine is limited to just 100 copies so I can't imagine it hanging around for long given the amount we shifted of their last release. It's a album of pastoral lovelyness making me think of a more spaced out Hood/ Epic 45.... It's really lovely drifty sounding stuff with acoustic guitars, lo fi hum, crackles fizzles, wispies and pops. Sounds like the best cereal ever... wispy pops. You read it here first. Lovely stuff... "
Hey, thankyou very much for the invite, much appreciated. Really love your stuff here, great sound and textures throughout, 'Perfect Sound' is sublime. Kind regards and best wishes, Nick.

Koen Holtkamp is no stranger to producing beautiful music. Expect layers of warm organic noise and found sound combine to make pieces that are both gorgeously minimalistic and endlessly deep. He's making the trip over from New York to celebrate the launch of his new album on Type records, and you'd be a fool to miss him!
Gorgeously organic music that washes over you and through you - the best of all ambient music understands the importance of holding back, of understatement, of beauty - Pausal achieve this, and more. Stunning stuff for a night of pure sonic bliss.
Forest of Sound's favourite one man laptop genius, randomNumber, comes back to regale us with his excellent and deeply inventive brand of electronica. There's a reason that he's so energetic in his performance - his music is brilliant. Simple. As.
A Forest of Sound presentation. It’ll be £5 on the door, and doors are at 8pm.
And, this is not music. ...so this is music.
It is not feelings either.
It is silence dedicated by the person who loves all stories.
Love for You to listen to the one that it is not likely to listen.
if you...:-]
Easily one of the most important bands of our times (and we don't say that lightly), Stars of the Lid are the highpoint of the ambient genre. Their influence on the music that really matters over the last decade has been huge, and we're incredibly honoured to be hosting them again in Leeds. This gig will be very very different, and very very special. Stars of the Lid have excelled at designing subtle, minimalist epics which sound like they're being played on a single multifaceted organic instrument. A wise man once described SOTL as "divine classical drones without the tedious intrusion of drums, or vocals. "
The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film". He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff.
