Futuristic

Check out the new edition of Future Music Magazine (now updated with the full article) - theres a big feature on Wrangler and the studio - unfortunately Phil couldn't make it down for the interview - but me and Mal have plenty to say. You can't probably buy the real magazine in a shop because of the zombie apocalypse but you can download it here

Anthropocene

Speaking of the new Wrangler album, here is the first video - more to come!!

Out Now

Look! We (WRANGLER) signed a new record deal with Bella Union and they have released our new album A Situation. Wooo!

Wrangler Soup

A few weeks ago we (Wrangler) played as part of Subliminal Festival in Manchester. Our set was 80% new material - woo! Heres a small bowl of it:

Wrangley

Its been a busy few weeks in the studio - here is us lot wrangling around last week:

Scratchy

Phew, just back from a weekend in London of Wrangling, where we played a headline at the opening of the London Short Film Festival at the ICA. It was all about Scratch Video, see here. I took along my Panasonic video mixer and a load of VCRs / TV sets / video cameras and Dancon and original scratch video-er Nick Cope wrangled with them to our live set. FUN!!!

P&M

And here are Phil & Mal in action:

Grid-Of-Synth Wrangler Album3

Its been a really busy couple of months here at Meme-central. I've had a constant flow of amazing friends and colleagues down here working on new albums, all of which are very different but equally exciting for me to be a part of. Needless to say, they are all fully electronic, being synth and drum machine based with layers of analog and digital effects, modular synths and exploratory vocal manipulations. For example, here is the Grid-Of-Synth for the newly completed Wrangler album (our third, as yet untitled):

3 Memes

AT LAST! The new Wrangler 12 inch on Memetune Recordings is out, available from all good record stores, or to order from our shop HERE. Thanks so much to the awesome remixers (Crooked Man, Lone Lady and Daniel Miller)

Buried

Strangely, having posted a few weeks ago about wanting to play in a cathedral - we found ourselves playing in a huge church in Bury! What a great experience - thank-you Curated Place. (2nd photo by Gary Sonic)

Panic Stations

Here are some pictures from our series of Cotton Panic! performances with Jane Horrocks at the Manchester Internation Festival last week. It was great fun and really hard work and this week we are all feeling very Wrangled-out! These pics were taken by Chris Turner

Tourists

Speaking of Natalie. She appeared in the film adaptation we just performed of THE TOURIST at the BFI London (and previously Home/Manchester and Prince of Wales cinema/Brighton). Wrangler composed and performed the music live on stage while the film, by Tash Tung and Dan Conway, played on the big screen. WHAT FUN!! The run is now over, but we are hoping to do more soon...

Barbican Birthday Bashes

We had a marvellous time on Saturday playing at the Barbican in London as part of the Rough Trade 40th Birthday bash. It was a year ago that I played on that great stage for the Brian Eno Discrete Music Birthday bash! See this post

However, this time we (Wrangler) teamed up with John Grant and performed a brand new set of music for our headline show - which was pretty scary for us but A LOT OF FUN. Thanks to John, Ben Eyes, Dancon, Gary and the whole team it was an epic adventure!
