Welcome Warm Digits - listen to new track "End Times (Featuring Field Music)"
we're delighted to welcome warm digits to the memphis fold. check out their new single end times (featuring field music) below premiering via Stereogum:
A new album, loosely themed around a present-day that teeters between celebration and devastation, is in the works for 2017 but in the meantime End Times serves as a dramatic and timely foretaste, a contender for first dance at the apocalypse disco.
Field Music’s Peter Brewis has taken the contemporary atmosphere of looming catastrophe and filtered it through the song's incipient funk and disco flavours, and asks: Could this really be the End Times? In early 2017, this is now starting to feel less like speculation and more like reportage.
Warm Digits' Andrew and Steve says of the collaboration with Field Music:
“When we first started looking for vocalists, long-time collaborators Field Music were a natural fit, having been DIY kindred spirits in the North East for as long as Warm Digits have existed”.
WARM DIGITS are the Newcastle-upon-Tyne duo that, in the words of legendary DJ/producer Andrew Weatherall, create “Machine funk kraut-a-delia – it’s rather lovely!”. Warm Digits' brew of live drums, guitar and electronics betray a love of Neu!, Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, My Bloody Valentine and Boards Of Canada. Motorik percussion, electronic basslines, Keith Levene-style guitar chops and squelchy analogue warmth are accompanied by live visuals in performances that have graced the Psych Fests of both London and Liverpool, seen them support the likes of Goblin, Modeselektor, ESG, St. Etienne, Moon Duo and many more, toured the UK with British Sea Power and blown the audience away at Supersonic and many other festivals. Their blistering live sets of "krautophonic blizzard-wave" have to be seen to be believed.
For their new recordings, the band have sharpened up all the elements of their sound for a set of crisp, propulsive and melodically rich songs, and for the first time on selected songs have collaborated with some of their favourite vocalists: Peter Brewis of Field Music, Sarah Cracknell of Saint Etienne, Devon Sproule, and Mia La Metta of Beards.
NZCA LINES have shared the complete tour visuals for last years acclaimed album Infinite Summer.
Teaming up with designers TAXONYM and Amala Studio to produce films for every song on the record, these cinematic accompaniments flesh out the album's science fiction narrative with beautiful, evocative imagery. Michael explains:
"It was always my dream to have a visual for each song, something that would draw an audience deeper into our world. Our Village Underground show was an opportunity to bring the album to life onstage in a way we hadn't done before. I worked closely with TAXONYM and Amala Studio to articulate my thoughts, feelings and ideas behind each song on Infinite Summer, which they interpreted to create each of the videos."
Having toured as part of Christine and the Queens’ live band (he played bass and keys on her hit debut album), Michael is now holed up in New York writing new material for the next NZCA LINES album.
