“With a mutual love for the melancholy sounds of 30 years past, J. Martin and R. Clark have teamed up to form Low & Behold. Their debut offering, Blood Red, hints at shades of Sisters Of Mercy and Depeche Mode, while exhibiting the band’s own unique approach. An instant favorite for fans of true gothic/new wave. Red vinyl in gatefold thick tip-on jackets with art print will ship to deliver on or near Halloween in the US.” See the pre-order page for ordering information.
For those that prefer to get the print edition, you can now order it from MagCloud. Sorry that the price keeps going up – we offer these at cost, but print on demand keeps getting more and more expensive. If you know any better options, please let us know.
Fans of The Prayer Chain have heard all of the stories surrounding the band’s acclaimed release of Mercury. We have known for a while that there was an original version that Reunion Records rejected as being difficult to sell. Have you ever wondered what that version sounded like? Well, wonder no more. Now you can listen to or buy Humb, the early version of Mercury, on the band’s BandCamp page. Also on the page is a fairly comprehensive story of the album. All proceeds from the sale of the albums on the band’s site go to charity.
A new post over at the Not Silent page hints that there are long term plans for a new Lead ep with Julio, Nina, and Rob all participating. Frank’s Enemy has been releasing songs here and there for a while, but the same post also indicates that there are also long-term plans for a full length album from Frank’s Enemy. In the meantime, you can register for Area 1234 and download several Julio Rey-related projects, including the new Frank’s Enemy song “@anonymous”.
