Grammatics New Single & Bloc Party Tour
Following tours with Rolo Tomassi, Maximo Park and performances at Reading and Leeds Festival, Grammatics return with a brand new single ‘Double Negative.’ Recorded over the summer and not featuring on the band’s debut LP, ‘Double Negative’ is a twisted fairground ride of a tune, with machine guns drums and spiraling guitars, a typical Grammatics; full of eloquent angst and melodrama, it comes accompanied by the cello led cover of The Good Life’s ‘Notes In His Pockets’. The single is released on October 26th on 7” and is available digitally now.
Out earlier this year, the band’s debut album has already been hailed as one of 2009’s great arrivals, and recently finished runner-up in Drowned in Sound’s alternative Mercury award – the Neptune Music Prize.
Grammatics have been personally invited to play main support on Bloc Party’s 23 date ‘Bloctober’ tour, kicking off on 2nd October.
Remixes of Murderer and Dilemma will be available for free download from www.dancetotheradio.com throughout the tour.
Since the very first time I heard early material by the band in 2007, I have been blown away by every offering from Grammatics. If you don’t have a copy, know that the album is truly stunning and my favourite release of 2009 so far. Every track is so well crafted, and as with all great records it’s complex yet manages to sound simplistic. Live they will transcend you into another world and mesmerise you. If you are going to see Bloc Party this month don’t miss Grammatics!!!!
