Deap Vally - Sistrionix (June 24th)

[lazarus]

It's official now, so I figured I should just make a thread and stop polluting Random Music with info.

Deap Vally announces debut album, Sistrionix | Consequence of Sound

11 tracks plus (supposedly) a hidden one at the end that I begged them to include. Sadly a couple favorites of mine didn't make it but there are four new ones I've never even heard so I'm excited to hear the rest.

They're on a mini-tour of mostly festivals in the U.S. right now, and go back the UK before the album's release for club shows and festivals:

(not pictured but they're also doing Lollapalooza in Chicago and Outside Lands in San Francisco)

Great review of a recent show:

I already included it on the upcoming release calendar earlier today.

I'm guessing the graffiti will keep that one off of MTV.
Cool video.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Lead singer is hot as hell. Good for you, laz. Good for them.

 

[lazarus]

I think you're really going to like their album, GAF. Not to mention their live show.

Part 2 gives a shout-out to Matt Doust, a painter from Perth who did the album cover art. He lives in Los Angeles now, good friend of mine.

New single/new video.

This song has opened every show they've played, if I'm not mistaken.

Chicago peeps:

Deap Vally playing at The Subterranean tonight, wherever that is.

Check it out and you'll be able to say "I saw them back when...."


Also, the band played on Later With Jools Holland this week. Pretty cool.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm sexually attracted to the two members of Deap Vally.

 

[lazarus]

Go go the show! Shouldn't be too hard to meet them after at this point either.


Tell 'em I sent you.

[No spoken words]

"Lazarus sent me"

 

[bono_212]

If it had been last night, I probably would have gone. Was looking for an excuse to hang out in Chicago before the Ariel Pink gig at the Empty Bottle that didn't start til midnight.

"Lazarus sent me"

"An old, mustachioed, LA-based tuber sent me"

 

[Hewson]

I'm sexually attracted to the two members of Deap Vally.

The least shocking thing I've read in decades.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

There's a small positive blurb about them in the newest issue of Rolling Stone--the one with Daft Punk on the cover.

 

[IWasBored]

Nvm.

Thanks, hadn't seen that.

"An old, mustachioed, LA-based tuber sent me"

Apparently the LA River is now open for recreational purposes.

Reviews are trickling in. Sadly I don't think the U.S. release is happening 'til later this summer:


"If the next generation of kids looking for touchstones grow up hearing this kind of music, the world will be a better, and probably a far more fun place."

Deap Vally - Sistrionix | Album Reviews | DIY

"They’ve given the folk-drenched musical world of the last few years a well timed kick in the balls."

Deap Vally - Sistrionix | The Line Of Best Fit

"Not since the 80s have we had a real rock star like her."

[lazarus]

Just finished listening to the stream. I'd never heard tracks 8-11 before (not including the bonus track), and all I can say is that I'm so glad the album finishes as strongly as it starts and doesn't get bogged down in repetition and filler (the last two are unlike anything else before them) and that the new songs were as worthy of inclusion as the favs of mine that didn't make the cut.

Mercifully, the space between the end of the album proper and the bonus track is only like 5 seconds. And that one is a curveball, too.

 

[PhilsFan]

Gonna buy this jaunt on iTunes since they're friends of Laz.

 

[lazarus]

Nice. Unfortunately, it's UK iTunes only at this point.

If you go to this link, you can then "view in iTunes" and "change store" to the UK site.

https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/sistrionix/id639640779

More expensive than normal with the conversion, but not too bad at £7.99. About $12.

 

[u2popmofo]

I think they still don't allow you to buy from an international store, despite being able to view what they have to offer, unfortunately.

 

[lazarus]

Really?

Hmmm.

Well, I just sent a message of congrats to the girls (they're in Europe right now), and I asked about the U.S. release date. Will keep you posted.

 

[Danny Boy]

July 2 in the US, I believe.
