The Grave Architects

Hello there



Well friends, 2010 is nearly over. At the end of 2010 – the film –

cosmic monoliths engulf Jupiter and increase its density to the point

that nuclear fusion occurs, transforming the planet into a small star

– a new sun - whose miraculous appearance inspires the leaders of

America and Soviet Union to seek peace and put an end to (the cold)

war. Fast forward 16 years and at the end of 2010 – the year -

something equally miraculous happening….



On the 13th December 2010 The Grave Architects finally release their

years-in-the-making debut album spectacular “Love Reaction” on Records

Records Records records! It is perhaps a little early to speculate on

the long-term effect of the LP on the middle east peace process but it

is never to early to start celebrating. And so The Grave Architects

have lined up 2 gigs –



Wednesday 17th November @ Cargo, London with Allo Darlin’

http://www.wegottickets.com/event/95225



***Album Launch Party ***

Saturday 11th December @ The Others, Stoke Newington with GiT and

Yngve and the Innocent

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=160918450608554&num_event_invites=0



“Love Reaction”, effectively a concept album about Love in all its

many incarnations, will be available on CD and MP3 download (more

details to follow shortly) -

www.recordsrecordsrecordsrecords.com/introducing/ . And for all those

who bought The Bike Song during our Storm the Charts campaign we have

not forgotten about you - your free album download email will be with

you, like, well soon.



Talking of which did we mention that “The Bike Song” video has had

over 150,000 YouTube views? We did? Do you mind if we say it again?



That will most certainly do for now and finally, after the 13th

December, 2010 will be remembered for more than a woman putting a cat

in a wheelie bin.



See you soon!

THE GRAVE ARCHITECTS- We all fell over in amazement on first hearing this incredible new act- and I was actually already reclined so dunno how that occurred. I think I actually stood up in a falling down way. Any rate , the offbeat humour of a Jonathon Richman, the kookiness of early Pavement, the tunefulness of Loaded era Velvets , yet very English and eccentric ….The ghost of Syd Barret’s also in the house, there's psychedelic passages with kind of posh rapping over the top. Which bizarrely sounds a bit like Caravan in places! So this is really quite interesting, but more importantly great fun! Their opus about bikes [er, 'Bike'] is kind of Queen by The Monks via De La Soul. A single out on Fortuna Pop. Buy/steal/blag- but see them play now!
