You might remember that a while ago we did a post about a band called Among The Bones (myspace), which is our good friend Misha’s project. They are excellent; dark, droney shoegaze music that sounds like a hangover in heaven or something. SO he is finally getting round to putting out his debut EP, its called The Chosen Sons of Snakes and will be coming out on Clan Destine Records pretty soon. To celebrate this lovely bit of news (we’ve been waiting for this to drop for what seems like forever) Misha has made a mixtape which you can download here. Its pretty amazing.

Hello Everyone

We hope you’ve all had a nice easter, we’ve been busy; drinking coffee, eating hot cross buns and alternately working hard and procrastinating. We’re almost ready to announce our summer projects, don’t worry, we’re getting there. We’ve been busy in meetings, fervently emailing, writing and re-writing press releases, we should have some stuff to tell you by the end of the month. The photos are up from the Off Modern #5, and we’ve finally got through the backlog from all the previous events, so we’ll be cracking on with getting new stuff up soon. If you haven’t already, check out the lovely Among The Bones mp3s and the read the pieces on Historic Discourse and on Dubai & Supermodernity. Thanks also to Holy Ghost Zine for allowing us to host one of only three interviews The Temporary School of Thought gave. Unfortunately we’re a bit behind on the magazine, but you can expect it to be out soon! Promise.

The second No Pain In Pop compilation is out now, we dj’ed at the launch party and it was a lot of fun, the tracklisting is pretty excellent; Pens, Sunni-Geini, Telepathe and Gentle Friendly, who played our first show way back in November.

Also we have the line-up confirmed for Off Modern #6 on the 30th of April. Gyratory System, Friendship and Radiant Dragon are all playing live. Bradley Zero, Quintessential and Ronojoy Dam (Real Gold) are all doing dj sets along with our residents Tomfoolery and Nasty McQuaid. It should be pretty amazing.

Here’s the video for the new single from Friendship, The Graveyard Shift.

And this is Gyratory System’s Barons Court Turret, which came out in February on ARC.

Hopefully we’ll see you all at Corsica on the 30th!

Misha Hering, one half of old-school hip-hop dj duo and Off Modern regulars So Official, has released some of the most incredible, dark, ambient and rich sounding shoegaze I’ve heard in a while under the name Among The Bones and we have two full tracks for you to listen too.
