TONIGHT: Premiere Party For Midlake's 'Antiphon' @ 8pm!

Join us tonight as we premiere Midlake's new album Antiphon, which will be released on November 5th through ATO Records.

Here's what ATO had to say about the album:

"An antiphon is a call-and-response style of singing, from Gregorian chants to sea shanties. In the case of Denton, Texas’ favorite sons Midlake, it’s the perfect title for a bold response to a new phase in the band’s illustrious career, with a re-jigged line-up and a newly honed sound as rich and symphonic as it is dynamic and kaleidoscopic.

Anyone who knows Midlake’s preceding albums will recognize some constituent parts of Antiphon: the quirky psychedelia of 2004 debut Bamnan and Slivercork, the ‘70s soft-rock strains of breakthrough album The Trials Of Van Occupanther and the Brit-folk infusion of 2010’s The Courage Of Others. But their fourth album is another fascinating departure, but also a logical progression. The sound is simultaneously familiar and changed.

“It’s always through the scope of Midlake,” says vocalist/guitarist Eric Pulido, “but on Antiphon we wanted to embrace the psychedelia, style and nuance you might hear in bands from yesteryear while also being aware of music influences leading up to and present now.  The result was less folk and more rock. Less nostalgic and more progressive. Now the sky’s the limit.”"

Sounds awesome, doesn't it? To make the premiere even more special, we will be selling some rare Midlake bootlegs, handing out Midlake t-shirts and coolest of all, giving away a signed test pressing of the new record! So come on by the shop and get the chance to listen to Antiphon before anyone else! The festivities will start at 8pm and, as always, there will be free pizza and beverages provided. It's going to be a great time!

Check out the track "Provider" off of the new record and we'll see you tonight!

This Coming Week @ OV!!

We just can't stop here at Origami Vinyl, so here's another heads up on whats going on this week at OV. Get this stuff in that Google Calendar quick!

Monday, October 21st 
 - 8:00pm :: William Onyeabor "Who is William Onyeabor?" Premiere Party @ OV

Given the album art of this latest Luaka Bop release, your first answer might be a used-car salesman or Anchorman extra. And really, you might be right, for all we know about the man behind this 3xLP compilation is that its electro-funk basis consists of some of the best West African music of the 70s and 80s. His sound is epitomized by ear-worming synth grooves and lyrics that are often as epic in scale as they are in toe-tappingness. Needless to say, we are stoked to be hosting a premiere party of this groundbreaking compilation tonight at 7PM, a whole week before its release! An early peak at good music plus pizza and beverages means you have no reason not be here Monday!

- 9:00pm :: OV Presents Spirit Vine Rezzie @ The Satellite. Free. 21+
          Spirit Vine Record Release Party featuring Fever The Ghost, Gateway Drugs & more.


 - 9:00pm :: OV Presents Haunted Summer Rezzie @ The Echo. Free. 21+
          featuring White Dove, Majken, Tenlons Fort, DJ OtikBot


Tuesday, October 22nd
  - 9:00pm :: Record Club @ El Prado. Free. 21+

Head across the street with us to El Prado where every week peeps sign up to share their favorite LPs and we spin them! You can also get signed up for the following week's Record Club if you wanna participate. It's super easy-going and we buy you a beer of a glass of wine for gettin' down with us!

Friday, October 25th
 - 7:00pm :: The Soil & The Sun In-Store @ OV. Free. All Ages

Self-described as New Mexican Space Music, this folk rock band will have you packing your bags for Joshua Tree or Big Sur with their blend of complex harmonies, layered melodies, and experimental rhythms.
 


Sunday, October 27th
- 7:00pm :: Love Inks @ OV. Free, All Ages

Branding themselves as "minimalist pop," Love Inks toes the line between chill-wave and surf-rock, sounding somewhere between Summer Camp's nostalgia overload and the poppier moments of a Those Darlins album.



 - 8:00pm :: Midlake "Antiphon" Premiere Party @ OV. Free! +Pizza and drinks!

We're premiering Midlake's new album. Check out how they describe it: "Antiphon we wanted to embrace the psychedelia, style and nuance you might hear in bands from yesteryear while also being aware of music influences leading up to and present now.  The result was less folk and more rock. Less nostalgic and more progressive. " As usual, we'll have pizza and drinks and some rad giveaways!



Another busy week at the ol' OV. Come hang out with us at some point and give us a high five! SEE YOU IN THE PIT!
