REDJETSON
“Breathtakingly beautiful….” The Fly
"Blissful" NME
REDJETSON were a five-piece spread over the less glamorous parts of East London and Essex. The story began when they released their debut split 12” single with Oxford sorcerers YOUTHMOVIE SOUNDTRACK STRATEGIES on Drowned in Sound Recordings in August 2004. This was followed by the release of debut album ‘New General Catalogue’ in the UK in January 2005 (Drowned in Sound Recordings), and across Europe in April 2006 (Talitres Records).
To support these releases, UK tours alongside BLOC PARTY (including Brixton Academy shows), HOPE OF THE STATES and 65DAYSOFSTATIC were followed up with a 2006 Headline tour of France with the Leeds based and Fierce Panda/Beggar’s Banquet/Talitres signed iLIKETRAiNS. The campaign continued in Winter 2006/2007 with a pan-European tour as special guests of ARCHIVE (Warner Brothers), visiting France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Poland and Greece.
After the release of double-A side single ‘THE UNRAVELLING’ / 'RACING IN THE MIRE’ on Try Harder Records in March 2007, Redjetson completed the recording of ‘OTHER ARMS’. Despite successful shows revealing the new material to audiences in the UK, the band felt they could continue no longer and gave way to a mutual parting. However, one final gift was imparted to fans with the post humorous release of ‘OTHER ARMS’ on ‘Gizeh Records’.
With the final album Redjetson leave their own epitaph further adding to their epic songs that deal full of slow-burning grandeur, emotional intensity and imposing passion. Despite their glacial exterior, their music is infused with a deep warmth and beating heart, moving away from the constrictive forms of ‘post rock’, and into warmer, more soulful climbs.

Malory
Formed in 1995 by three former school friends under the influence of the so-called indie/wave era - is the german incarnation of the shoegazer generation.In 1999, they have recorded their debut album “Not Here, Not Now”, sound landscapes from an inverse universe washed against the walls of their studio. Find out what kind of sound walls you can build without synthesizers. Total effects, all guitar, a concentric stream of desire and melancholy. Layer for layer the dome is growing from freely flowing emotions, in the dispute of the musicians. guitar vs. guitar. His voice against hers.
“Outerbeats” is the title of the second album (2001) - and it’s really characteristic for the music. while the first album had this touch of their idols Slowdive, Malory are now defining their own cosmos, their own time. The songs of the new album “The Third Face” (2005) open a door to a spheric world. The slowness of the moment becomes a journey through the time, a long way through the orbit. It floats atmospherically around you with angelic vocals and experimental sound scapes using guitars as sound tools. These songs deserve only to be played at high volumes so that the sound swallows your room and your mind.
During 2006, their first album, “Not Here, Not Now”, was reissued by Clairecords, including two bonus tracks and a different artwork.

Combining their melodic sensibility with mysterious, yet beautiful arrangements, they make pop music sound effortless. Listening to Kyte’s stunningly beautiful soundscapes, you fully expect them have been recorded by the flickering light of the aurora borealis in some frozen wasteland near the Arctic Circle.
