ADVENTURES
09.12.2005

rocksound magazine and if mice could move mountains zine covers
9/10 and 7/10, the scores rocksound magazine gave skoud “systems & drafts” and the let airplanes circle overhead album respectively. you can find the full reviews in issue 80 (january 2006) out now, or read a transcription in our press section. needless to say, we’re very happy with our first uk press. look out for more reviews in other magazines over the next couple of months…

we are doubly excited because capulet head into the studio tomorrow to record their first record to be put out on the label. we cant wait to hear it, and to get working towards a hopeful march release date. we’ll keep you informed as things progress.

let airplanes circle overhead have been featured in “if mice could move mountains” magazine (you can read the article by clicking the magazine title) and seem to be selling remarkably well in japan. here’s hoping the excellent rocksound review will allow them to repeat that success over here in january when the album is released proper. shellshock distribution have, as usual, been working really hard, and have now secured us distribution in switzerland. there will be more territories to follow in the new year, as well as some very exciting announcements…

with the way things are going, 2006 looks like being a very special year indeed…

CHANGE OF PLANS
22.11.2005

unfortunately, due to unavoidable circumstances, the retail release date for the first three motivesounds recordings releases has been put back from november 14th to january 23rd. the cd's are all still available to buy from the website and at shows, and this new date will coincide with the upcoming skoud tour. its a shame we have to wait a little longer, but it does mean we have a better shot at getting reviews in some of the big mags. thanks to everyone who has already bought a title from the website, we really appreciate your support.
more news to follow very soon.

'fury against the formless' by let airplanes circle overhead is to be featured on the free compilation 'mind the gap' with dutch magazine 'gonzo circus'. the magazine is out december 16th in holland.
skoud is also featuring on the same 'mind the gap' compilation, the chosen track is 'beat 1-1'.
we'll post more news on this when we know it.

MONTAGUES AND...
13.10.2005

capulet
what better day to announce a new signing? we are very pleased to announce that capulet are the latest addition to motivesounds recordings roster and will be putting out their first studio release on the label early next year.

capulet formed last year and have gone from strength to strength, when we saw them at the final gig of their tour with secondtolast we were blown away. plans were laid and now, finally, we have the chance to release some music from this great band. have a look at their page to learn more, and download a track from their self released ep "no time spoke the clocks".

we'd like to think john would have been proud of our endeavours to get great music noticed.

happy john peel day.
mark & ben.
