DEATH IN TEXAS – ” A Body “

Death in Texas From post-rock to trip-hop and everything in between, the duo manage to combine their eclectic influences to create a compelling album. Atmospheric and adventurous, the record explores disenchantment, apathy and ambition
this London based Kiwi expats released their first prog-heavy. After relentless gigging in London and the UK, a string of singles were released eventuating into the EP “PLUCK” in 2013. Exhausted with the live scene they retreated into their home studio for a year, writing and producing the music that would become their first album. “Pause Between Breaths” is a clear graduation from their former sound and approach.
Death in Texas say:
“We wanted to create something that was honest, that we could be proud of in a few years time. This album is intended to be experienced as a whole: to sit down, read the lyrics, look at the artwork, be fully immersed as we all used to with albums when we were young. Pause Between Breaths is about stopping the constant buzz and finding a space to be still.”

Taken from the new album out on Merge Records “End Times Undone” David Kilgour is a musician from Dunedin on the south island of New Zealand  He first started playing guitar as a teenager in the late 1970s. With his brother Hamish and they formed The Clean, a group that went on to become one of the most popular and most respected bands ever to come from New Zealand.

The Clean are recognised as one of the founders of the New Zealand independent rock scene and a pivotal band in the development of the  Dunedin Sound which was centred  via the record label Flying Nun and produced other acts including The Verlaines, The Chills, Straitjacket Fits, The Bats (which included The Clean bassist Robert Scott ) and the band The Tall Dwarfs . The Clean broke up in the early 1980s, and David Kilgour proceeded to form and play with other bands such as Stephen and the Great Unwashed. The Clean reformed in 1989 and produced the album “Vehicle”  arguably one of their strongest works to date.
