WIN BRETON ALBUMS
Field
recordings of keys turning,
subway cars rolling and footsteps in a hospital corridor, on an album made using automatic
writing – there’s very little about the filmmaking, South London artist collective Breton (named after surrealist André Breton) that doesn’t scream ‘experimental’. Their music is surprisingly listener- friendly though, with classical arrangements by Hauschka funneled into well-structured electronica frameworks. Intrigued? Have a listen for yourself – we’ve got five copies to give away. WIN GRAHAM COXON ALBUMS
Blur guitarist turned solo indie axe- wielder Coxon is due to hit us with his second album A+E on Mon 2 Apr. He’ll be touring the UK in support of the new record, stopping at Liquid Room, Edinburgh, on Mon 16 Apr and the Garage, Glasgow, on Tue 17 Apr. Read an interview with him on page 82 and our A+E review on page 86, or enter our competition to win one of three copies of the album at list.co.uk WIN BEAR IN HEAVEN ALBUMS
Brooklyn trio Bear in Heaven have already unleashed latest effort I Love You, It’s Cool upon
the world. It’s streaming from their website (bearinheaven.com) right now – the only catch is that it’s been slowed down 400,000%, with each second of music now lasting one hour as a result. Alternatively, if you don’t have the rest of eternity to spare, you can win one of five copies of the normal-length album from us. You can also see them at the Stag and Dagger Festival, Glasgow, on Sat 19 May – we’ll be intrigued to see which version of the album (LP or XXLP) they go for live. HOW TO ENTER
