Blackstar Foundation reports that they've received the master for the new Abandon album and should be sending it off for pressing soon. "78 minutes of pure anxiety." Sounds good to me. They also report that the new Araki album will be pressed as a double LP and should be ready by the end of May. That's Tiger Lou's old band, for those that don't know.

Tiger Lou has a new website which includes a bunch of mp3s for downloading. As mentioned before, Tiger Lou is the most recent signing of Startracks Records and is essentially the solo act of Rasmus Kellerman from the bands Araki and Music By Em.

The new Bear Quartet album will be named "Angry Brigade" after the English anarchists of the 70s.
