Berlin-based, Belfast born psych-collective Tau return with ‘It's Already Written’ and its mind-altering video online now, it is the first single lifted from Tau 's second album Tau And The Drones Of Praise out February 4. The band play two shows in Dublin in December, at Drop Dead Twice on December 15 and Vicar Street on December 22.

‘It’s Already Written’ is a one chord scorcher full of mantras inspired by the cosmic serpent and its relation to DNA theory. The song is powered by some amazing muted harp work by Andy Aged that sounds like it's straight out of a mescaline dream sequence and peppered by Pyramid frontman and ‘70s Chicago freejazz originator Idris Ackamoor's own cosmic saxophone interpretations.

Frontman Shaun Mulrooney (Humanzi, Admiral Black) mixes his own potent brew of esotericism with this euphonic dance number, that reminds the listener of Tau 's conception in the Berlin psych scene. His personal involvement with luminaries Dead Skeletons and Damo Suzuki are immediately audible in this searing first single from Tau’s second album. The tracks' exciting collaboration with old and young masters is a taste for the album to come, and is a must for those with an ear for æther-surfing lysergic rock music and deep, conscious psychedelic songwriting.

** Live @ Drop Dead Twice, Dublin - 15th December **

‘I’ll Pretend’, best described as conflicting downtempo synth pop, is the latest single from producer, Arthur Wimble. Following on the success of his debut EP, that got re-released through Kitsune, and his recent single ‘Miss You’. ‘I'll Pretend’ is about “when you're wanting to commit to your love, but they are being ruthless with your heart and emotions and treating you like shit, throwing it in your face. You could treat them the same if you slumped to their level... but that's not your style”

Arthur Wimble is an Australian artist and producer, heralded for his dynamic and emotionally coloured take on antipodean EDM. His music - inspired by the likes of James Blake, Andy Bull, Jai Paul – is all at once self-destructive and blooming. Using artificial sounds and warm, rhythmic language as counterpoint, the artist spins a complex soundboard that has all the markings of an exciting new talent.

Arthur Wimble uploaded the track, ‘I Love My Love’, to Triple J Unearthed late in 2015 to small acclaim. Teef Records took an interest, signing the artist, and releasing three singles. What followed was the culmination of Wimble’s unique sensibilities into the EP, Hearts, (2016).
