Pre- Order
Glasgowā€™s Urvanovic ā€˜letā€™s not be hereā€™
Released 29th March via Common Grounds Records

Glasgow's Urvanovic (uhr - vah - no - vitch) are a noisy chamber-pop ensemble consisting of stalwart members Tom Irvine (songwriter/composer/lyricist/vocals), Seonaid Stevenson (vocals), Niall Sinclair (producer/noise-maker) and David Hill (drums/percussion) plus an extended line-up of string players.

"Let's Not Be Here" is a record about evolving through catastrophe - romanticising ruination as an incitement to action. On this record, Urvanovic indulge in the escapism of an imagined apocalypse as a catalyst for positive personal change. Forgoing their earlier alt-folk influences, "Let's Not Be Here" embraces Urvanovic's latent maximalism & experimentation. Veering between dense, wall-of-noise synthesis and abstract soundscapes - further embellished by colourful string arrangements, theatrical vocals and orchestral percussion - this is a dynamic, complex, and at times abrasive record

I genuinely can't remember being as excited about playing as I am about these upcoming launch shows.
Pianodrome is about as perfect a setting for these songs as I can imagine. The new album has been very warmly received, the band is sounding fantastic and we're champing at the bit to play for you all.

Crow Hill by Meursault

On June the 22nd we are proud to release ā€˜Crow Hillā€™, the new studio album by Meursault on double 12ā€ vinyl, CD & Digital.

A few words from Meursault-

ā€œA small, isolated townā€¦ its dark history, twisted and unseen, rising steadily towards the surface, threatening to consume a landscape that it no longer recognises.
