Stealing Sheep ‘Rearrange’ video + December headline dates with Temples in support

Stealing Sheep are back with ‘Rearrange’, the third single from their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Into The Diamond Sun’.
Released digitally on Monday 10th December, the track features B-side ‘Boys In The Band’; their other-worldly take on The Libertines classic recorded exclusively for NME’s ‘Up The Bracket’ 10 year anniversary covers album (listen below).

If you’ve not seen the mini-epic of a video for ‘Rearrange’ yet, then rest assured it’s a three (and a bit) minute glimmering extravaganza filled with “diamonds, smoke, fire, monsters and hypnotism”. Made over the course of a month in various locations including a disused quarry, a warehouse and various art spaces, the band add: “We filmed throughout the night in harsh conditions jumping on a giant trampoline, running in the dark, and animating the diamond eater on a giant crane with an industrial fan blowing in our faces.

“We used a cast of our friends who were, not only happy to contribute to the choreography, but also happy to spend hours in a freezing warehouse to get the perfect shot! We worked with local film maker Jack Whiteley who worked with us on conceptualizing the storyline, shot lists and he filmed, directed and edited the video.”

Temples announce debut single ‘Shelter Song’ with Heavenly

You could say we’re on a roll here at Heavenly… after a brilliant year releasing debut albums by Stealing Sheep and TOY, earlier this month we introduced you to Charlie Boyer and The Voyeurs and their debut single ‘I Watch You’.

The former two received critical acclaim across the board, while the latter is currently causing a stir both with fans and in the press (NME: “They make rip-roaring proto-punk like it’s 1973”).

However we’re not taking a back seat just yet because we’ve still got more tricks up our proverbial sleeve… Before the year is out, we’ve got one more new group for you and we are hoping that you’ll be up for giving them the support you’ve given to the rest of our artists.

Yes, it is our absolute pleasure to reveal the debut single from the hotly-tipped Temples whose self-described “neo-psych” has been a firm fixture on the Heavenly Jukebox for the past couple of months.

‘Shelter Song’ will be released by Heavenly Recordings on Monday 12th November 2012, backed with ‘Prisms’.

Both tracks were recorded in early September and produced by Temples in Pyramid Studios, their home studio in Kettering.

The single will be available on 7” and download, with artwork courtesy of Thomas Caslin (thanks Tom!) We’ve got the first look at the video below, go see!

The 7” is available to pre-order now from the Heavenly emporium, as well as selected independent retailers at the links below:

Charlie Boyer and The Voyeurs debut single announcement

“Charlie Boyer and The Voyeurs came to our attention supporting TOY earlier this year. Perfectly channeling mid-70s NYC art punk in the back room of a scuzzed up East End pub, Charlie took the sounds of one blank generation and blasted them out to another. Only took a minute before we were sold.” HEAVENLY RECORDINGS, summer 2012

We are very excited to finally be able to reveal to you all details of the debut single from our newest signings, Charlie Boyer and The Voyeurs.

‘I Watch You’ will be released on Heavenly Recordings on Monday 15th October 2012, backed with the B-side ‘Be Nice’. Available on 7” and download, both tracks were recorded in early September and produced by Edwyn Collins and Seb Lewsley at their West Heath Yard studio.

The single will be available to stream shortly but if you can’t possibly wait to hear it, a little birdie tells us it might just be getting a spin on Marc Riley’s 6music show this evening. Listen in here from 7pm.

In other Charlie Boyer and The Voyeurs news, alongside their own London headline shows the band have been confirmed as main support on the forthcoming TOY tour. See below for the full list of dates and we’ll see you at a show!

Sea of Bees headline UK tour announcement + single release

“Devastating” – CD of the Week, Sunday Times Culture

“4 stars – if she doesn’t become the sensation she deserves to be it’ll be a crime” — Independent

We are very pleased to announce that Julie Ann Baenziger, better known as Sea of Bees, will be making a return to our shores this November for a headline UK tour. The tour coincedes with the release of the Sacramento native’s next single ‘Gone’ taken from her critically lauded sophomore album ‘Orangefarben’.

‘Gone’ will be released on Heavenly Recordings on November 5th, and, as is coming to be typical of Sea of Bees, is a gorgeous slice of offbeat, emotive guitar pop; as instantly infectious as it is deeply affecting.

The tour — with support from Barbarossa - kicks off in Leeds on November 6th and ends at the breathtaking Union Chapel in London on the 19th.

This will be Sea of Bees’ biggest UK headline tour yet, so don’t miss out!
