FOOT VILLAGE EMERGENCY RESPONSE #: (951) 262-2552

PRE ORDER AT NORTHERN SPY RECORDS!

Until now, Foot Village has worked in the genre of fantasy. Their first three albums constituted a trilogy, telling the abstract story of the first city formed after the apocalypse. The city rose. The city reached glory. The city fought wars. The city crumbled. Now Foot Village has returned from this world of fantasy to our own. Both in the form of a warning and hope. As always, their message travels on the sound of a horde of drums (in fact, there are four drummers in the band); their voices chanting cryptic riddles too catchy to ignore. Known as Citizen‘s Kinsman, Lee, Taylor-Fantastic, and Rowan, now joined by Citizen Loveridge (of Beak>, Fairhorns) as well. While their last album, Anti-Magic, maintained an almost constant ballistic level of energy to tell it’s story of war, Make Memories finds the group working in the form of ballads, alongside their kraut-punk roots. Foot Village’s messages of hope are as exciting and ecstatic as ever, but their warnings are a swamp, slowly being brought to a boil. Recorded and mastered by Rik Dowding at Portishead‘s studio in Bristol, UK, Foot Village’s fourth album ‘Make Memories’, captures the power of their live show unlike any of their releases previous. Rich with a cool, dark atmosphere, while still maintaining an upfront and powerful presence. This is the album for those wanting to take home the strength and magic the band has displayed playing at fests like All Tomorrows Parties, touring all over the US and EU, and opening for bands like Avey Tare, Dan Deacon, and HEALTH.

MTV’s world music blog, MTV Iggy,
was kind enough to share it. They also shared the music video for the original version of the song, directed by Rob Heppell.

Rob Heppell has created what he calls, “An expressionistic reworking of the US torture legislation.” for this video of Lovers With Iraqis. Rob’s films are just pure incredible. After you check out this political nightmare he was made for Foot Village, we highly recommend spending some time on his vimeo site watching more of his work. You will not regret it. He is a true master.

“Lovers With Iraqis” is coming out soon on 7″ vinyl (w/ Digital Download) on the How To Fight label.
