Acid Tongue - Beautiful Disaster (EP) out Aug 5

PRE-ORDER ACID TONGUE - BEAUTIFUL DISASTER *HERE*

Hot on the heels of last year's i died dreaming (EP), Seattle's Acid Tongue will be releasing their follow-up, "Beautiful Disaster", on August 5th.

The EP will be released through Freakout Records (US) with a limited-edition run of red, white, and blue tape cassettes available in the UK on Failure By Design Records.

Recorded in London during frontman Guy Keltner's Fall 2015 European tour with Fox and The Law, the EP builds upon Acid Tongue's stoney, heartfelt approach to classic soul and modern psychedelia. Engineered and produced by London musician Rían O'Gandhi (Tess Parks, The Greasy Slicks), Beautiful Disaster provides a glimpse of blue-collar American soul spun through the depths of Britain's Psychedelic scene.

Deeply influenced by Southern R&B, Motown, folk and doo-wop, Keltner's current incarnation as Acid Tongue is an ode to a life spent on the road and a head stuck in the clouds. Equal parts Lou Reed, The Growlers, Brian Wilson and Mac DeMarco, the sound is a dark reflection on love, confusion, satanism and suicidal thoughts familiar to anyone suffering from the American condition.

Newaxeyes - "The 8th Passenger" out July 15

PRE-ORDER NEWAXEYES - THE 8TH PASSENGER *HERE*

Freakout Records is proud to announce the release of "The 8th Passenger", an unofficial soundtrack to Ridley Scott's 1979 opus, ALIEN. Conceived and performed by Seattle electronic-maestros NEWAXEYES, the soundtrack takes its name from the Polish title of the original film.

The soundtrack will be released as a limited-edition run of double-cassettes, featuring the iconic image of Bolagi Badejo, the man inside the Alien suit.

Seattle quartet Newaxeyes takes a genre-agnostic approach to songcraft. Melding wide-ranging influences, the band fuses diverse samples, guitar squalls, and caustic beats to create pieces that refract the frenzied information-assault associated with our modern era. Their mercurial sound is tinged with the paranoia, volatility, and catharsis of the present.

At the beginning of 2015, Newaxeyes was approached by celebrated Seattle film arts organization Northwest Film Forum to perform an original live score to a film of their choosing as an installment of NWFF's Puget Soundtrack series. The band chose Ridley Scott's sci-fi horror masterwork ALIEN for the thematic and aesthetic resonances that they found between the film and their work. Relationships between human and machine, primal psychosexual associations, The Other, and the work of H. R. Giger were among the many elements of Alien that the band investigated and incorporated in their 2-hour score.
