ESTEL ALBUM RELEASE PARTY:

DESERT HEARTS + DEPUTY FUZZ
about Desert Hearts:
Desert Hearts are from Belfast and have released their debut album "Let's Get Worse" on Tugboat Records, an off-shoot of Rough Trade Records and home of LOW, Life Without Buildings and Mum.
Their sound has been compared to Joy Division mixed with 'Evol' era Sonic Youth.
Album Review
"...as good a debut album to emerge from the North as anything since The Undertones. Setting it's cap firmly in the camp of mid-80's widescreen indie (at times it sounds unerringly like a long lost Martin Hannett gem), it has a self-assurance, and gentle surety that, really, should only appear a few more records down the line. That a trio from Belfast has managed to do this is terrific. That they've also managed to stamp their personality the whole way through is cause for greater delight. These Hearts are on fire." (HOT PRESS)
7" Review:
""No More Art" is two and a half minutes of urgent, blitzkrieg artpop that skewers Pavement and Disco Inferno in one thrust whilst the b-side is a slow-building motorik instrumental with shades of Bark Psychosis."
and also DEPUTY FUZZ
Deputy Fuzz have just come back from touring the UK with Catchy Go Go label mates, the NPB as well as having just aired a Fanning Session on 2FM.
Having recently added an extra guitarist, and gaining comparisons to Sonic Youth, Blonde Redhead & the Breeders.
ESTEL::
Estel will be playing most of the songs from the album along with some more new ones... Adrian Crowley and Hugh Holmes, who do some vocals on the album will also be appearing, along with Willie on extra Percussion...
The Estel album itself is 11 songs long, clocking in at over 60 minutes and to be released on Little Plastic Tapes. It was produced and recorded by Stephen Shannon and Estel in the Art of Sound, Balbriggan, Co. Dublin. Initally it will only be available on CD, later on double vinyl.
Electic Honey Review Of "A Guide In Time Of Great Danger"
"For those who have already been converted to the realms of instrumental and post-rock workouts, A Guide In Time Of Great Danger is an essential addition, and for those who haven't been hooked in yet, then this is quite possibly the album that will do so. Constantly changing allegiance between a hard-core post-punk aesthetic and a deep-rooted fragility, Estel effortlessly manage to offer both, with more style and substance than most, and that is ultimately what makes A Guide in Time of Great Danger such a stunning record."
Estel t-shirts and badges will be available too.
