Biography

Death Of The Neighbourhood signed to ATIC Records in 2006 and an eponymously titled debut LP was released 2 years later to great critical acclaim. IDJ called it "eerie ambient from another planet" whilst Uncut commented on it's "stark, disarming beauty".

It's a 32 track, 2 CD set, the first disc of which is made up of vocal tracks ('songs', for want of a better word), whilst Disc 2 is made up of instrumental pieces. The album was preceded by a limited edition, 7" only release of 'Cokeholes' b/w 'Yellowhills' and 'Lost Youth Pt. 2'.

There's a cinematic quality to the album, like it's been recorded in widescreen, whilst track titles like 'The Town Of Half Finished Buildings' and 'Blind Girls Music Box' belie a  literary bent. There are songs which comment on the state of things ('Cokeholes', 'Call Girl'), but there are also moments of simple, life-affirming beauty ('A Cool Breeze On The Back Of The Neck', 'Wish I'd Been Born A Baby').

We're excited and intrigued to see and hear how Death Of The Neighbourhood will develop. Work has started on the second album which will be released sometime 2010.
