Unlikely to feature on many best-of lists, the debut from Leeds-based folk/noise/jazz-ers Trumpets of Death is a startling and ferociously challenging work. Almost impenetrable on first listen, it opens up to reveal a sinister and enthralling world. Perhaps the most surprising album of the year, it finds its way to your very soul. It’s that rare beast - an album that gets better with every listen.
—Trumpets of Death’s debut album “Teeth + Teeth = Teeths” is named as one of The Music Fix’s albums of the year, which makes Tin Angel Records very proud. You can buy “Teeth + Teeth = Teeths” via the Tin Angel Records shop. (NB. Orders outside of Western Europe may not reach their destination before Christmas.)
Listen to “Jason” from “Teeth + Teeth = Teeths” below. -
The music of Minnesotan bluesman, Charlie Parr has been on our playlists ever since a trip to New Zealand and Australia, where his music became a perfect soundtrack to the roadtrip. So it was a surreal pleasure to have him perform a few of his songs and share some stories of bears, moose and passport control in our home town of Bristol.
We’d been sizing up our friend George’s fireplace for a shoot for a while, so jumped at the chance to sneak in and film, while he was off, fighting a Sunday hangover in the pub.
This September, Parr released Cheap Wine, a compilation of past songs and a great introduction to his hard luck stories of gamblers, drinkers, union boys and dustbowl wonderers.
“Cheap Wine” is available now on Tin Angel Records. Order it now via the Tin Angel Records shop to receive it before Christmas, or buy it from any good record shop or digital retailer.
