Highpoint Lowlife newsletter / March 1st 2006
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
eh, its all heating up now!
We're very excited about Marshall Watson's first UK trip, he's going to
be arriving next monday, and on tuesday, we'll be hosting his live show
at the first of our Not Clickable events for 2006. With Expanding
Records' Stendec, Audiobulb's Calika on the bill, and Remote_ from
Smallfish DJing also, its going to be an amazing evening of
headmashingly technologi-ca-cal electronics and minimal glitch-tech noise!
A rather spiffing flyer can be found at:

We've got a whole lot of other shows coming up this month also..
randomNumber is continuing his run of UK shows with gigs in Glasgow, and
Liverpool; Bovaflux is down in Brighton next friday for a Wrong Music
ext-rave-aganza alongside Toecutter, DJ Floorclearer, Mully and many
more. Later in the month is Bleepfest at Christchurch Spitalfields,
which promises to be a really fun and original event ( interviews with
some of the artists involved at
http://mstation.org/bleepfest_interviews.php )
You'll find links and more details of all shows on our homepage over at
http://highpointlowlife.com ( the site should also now display properly
in Internet Exporer. *shakes fist!* damn Microsoft!)
On the release front, you should find randomNumber's "Golden Acre
Sleeps" pretty much everywhere now, including itunes, warpmart and
boomkat. ( "the kind of beat-heavy laptop symphonies that up the ante
for atmospheric digitalis." Boomkat )
The fetchingly coy Fisk Industries 10" is pressed up, release date
April 24th, but now available for purchase from the UK's top shops -
Posteverything, Smallfish, Norman Records, Phonica and Rub-a-Dub.
They've all had a few nice words to say about it:
"Atmospheres are dense and superbly implemented and, to be honest, this
is the sort of music you wish Skam would do, but don't see to manage any
more." Smallfish
"this beautifully artworked 10" is filled to the brim with warm analog
electronic sounds that have been exquisitely mastered by the mighty
Twerk. Wicked!" Phonica

Izu's masterpiece of fscked-up beats and industrial sized melody is also
pressed up now and in our hands - "Going Salamander". We literally
recieved that at the weekend and havent gotten it into any stores yet,
but expect it on Posteverything and at Smallfish by the weekend. You'll
also find a track from the album on the covermount CD of the new issue
of ace Scottish music mag "Is This Music?"

What else have we got to report? We're mostly busy working on all these
new releases, which will be coming out in a steady stream between now
and the end of summer. They're almost all ready to go, so its just a
case of timing their releases so they arent competing with each other.
Looks like the release/pressing order is going to be:
Like A Stuntman - Stan Places / 10" and CDEP
Mandelbrot Set - All Our Actions Are Constantly Repeated / CD album
Marshall Watson - Math And Other Word Problems / CD album
Marcia Blaine School For Girls - not yet titled / CD album
Tigrics - Synking / CD album
and then, *drum roll *** .. the 7" boxset we keep promising - "The
(Commercially Suicidal) Beautiful Tactile Objects Series" - well, we can
finally reveal the final lineup..
Leafcutter John
Die Munch Machine
Jefre-Cantu Ledesma
Mandelbrot Set
Bugs Eat Books
n.Ln
Tarentel
Hard to guestimate, but i would imagine it should be due for around
October or November..
ok, take care and hope to see you out at one of the upcoming shows..
