cheers to the dears.

...

The Rest is a cracking band from Canada who have flown over with a bunch of presents for us:

Firstly, TODAY Something In Construction (Loney Dear, Memory Tapes, Air France) is releasing their album 'Everyone All At Once' in Rough Trade shops, where the first fifty are selling for a shocking 50p, and only after that do they double with the next 50...and so on;

their second present is a little stream of gigs to partner it -

12 Oct 2009 @ The Old Blue Last W/ SEBASTIEN SCHULLER, 13 Oct 2009 @ The Lexington W/Kill It Kid and 14 Oct 2009 @ 229.

If that weren't enough, here's some colouring to the rainbow:

they're busy-beeing on a new EP, which will be accompanied by an illustrated novel - The Cried Wolf Book, adorned by MLXNDRSC. You can catch the first section and first song here; they will be releasing another section every month on Auteur Recordings, but for now enjoy their cover of Robyn's 'With Every Heartbeat'. The next section's out November 1st, check back for more details.
