Kingdom: Press For His Debut Album 'Tears In The Club'
Kingdom has been receiving some excellent press for his debut album 'Tears In The Club'.
"('Tears in the Club') takes his cavernous, multilayered tracks closer than ever to pop song structures" - NEW YORK TIMES
www.nytimes.com/2017/02/22/arts/music/kingdom-tears-in-the-club-interview.html
"a surprising-and welcome-foray into pop territory." - THE NEW YORKER
www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/listening-booth-kingdoms-what-is-love
"'Tears' updates that vibe with confessionalism and sonic designs that did not exist even a decade ago, the openness and despondent outlooks of millennial tensions, and the unabashedly synthetic noises that make the beat." - NPR
www.npr.org/2017/02/16/515483246/first-listen-kingdom-tears-in-the-club
"'Tears' is a cohesive collection of tracks that embody the ennui of club life, featuring invigorating melodies that, well, make you want to dance. It's a contemplative, angular debut packed with a range of slow-churning delicacies" - STEREOGUM

Slowdive: UK & European Tour
Slowdive recently made their return with new single, 'Star Roving,' their first new material in 22 years. It was released to a flurry of excitement, even taking the band to #1 on the Billboard & Twitter Trending 140.
Comprised of Neil Halstead (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Christian Savill (guitar), Nick Chaplin (bass), Rachel Goswell (vocals) and Simon Scott (drums, electronics), Slowdive have already announced a headline slot at London's Field Day festival this summer, and are now announcing a set of intimate club shows in UK and Europe, their first outside of London since their reformation in 2014.
Slowdive released their debut album, 'Just For A Day', in 1991 via Creation Records. The esteemed 'Souvlaki' followed in 1993 and 'Pygmalion' in 1995, and then the band disbanded. In the 22 years of their virtual disappearance, the band's reputation and reverence continued to grow, as people continued to discover and be drawn to their recordings. In 2014, Slowdive announced that they had reunited and over the course of that summer they thrilled emotional crowds across the European festival circuit and the US.
The intention was always that new music would follow. Finally in January 2017 the band signed to Dead Oceans and released their first new single 'Star Roving.'
The forthcoming shows will see the band playing a mix of old classics and new material up close and personal.
