CMU Approved
Approved: Vessels – Meatman, Piano Tuner, Prostitute
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 7 October 2010
Everyone knows that we’re big fans of Vessels here at CMU. And if you didn’t, you do now. Their debut album, ‘White Fields & Open Devices’, was one of our favourites of 2008 (and continues, in a more general sense, to be one of our faves), bringing something a bit different to the post-rock table. Since then, they’ve done a lot of touring, much of it with fellow rock innovators Oceansize.
Earlier this year the band flew to Texas to record album number two, again with producer John Congleton (Explosions In The Sky, R Kelly). The album, entitled ‘Helioscope’, is due for release next February, but the band made a track from it, ‘Meatman, Piano Tuner, Prostitute’, available as a free download this week. Featuring vocals from Jacob’s Stories’ Stuart Warwick, you can get it now from the band’s SoundCloud page, along with an incredible Errors remix of ‘An Idle Brain And The Devil’s Workshop’ from the first album.
